I almost spit out my rye when I saw the higherside chats on youtube's latest 'ideological purge' list. The episodes that I've heard have always been respectful and even somewhat skeptical, in addition to hugely entertaining, ie not at all the kind of content that they are claiming to target with this latest metaphorical book burning. But, if this is really where we are now, I guess I'll have to support the content that I like with actual money instead of just views or clicks or whatever wooden nickels prop up the ad network hiveminds these days.

I didn't even know there were videos prior to now, I had just been listening to the podcast in audio form, so this is actually a double streisand effect.

Keep up the good work.

Right on man. The Filternet is here. They're not banning hate speech, they're banning speech they hate.

Welcome to the Dissenter's Club.

It sounds like there is a lot of pushback against the shenanigans:
