Saw Tims video this morning.

I dont expect Google to change their strategy, the will continue to burn money until it works for them or something else changes.

Considering their copyright and content policies I wouldn't be surprised if they end up bankrupt.

Problem is where would we go to post user created videos afterwards? Nobody seems to care about Vimeo or Daily Motion.

No way they will go broke from this, i dont think they are that incompetent and stupid.

They will bleed some money but that will be as far as that goes.



How did YouTube "get woke"?

And when did it go woke anyway. I get recommended videos by alt right morons "owning the left" all the time.

Yeah. I don't get it either. I see no obvious wokeness, and Google is clearly not going broke.

And the "get woke, go broke" thing never made sense to me, because there's plenty of things that are "woke" and/or explicitly or implicitly reflect progressive values (not exactly a rarity in the entertainment business) do incredibly well financially. I recall a couple of months ago that right-wing critics of Captain Marvel thought Brie Larson's comments about diversity among film critics and the film's feminist marketing would result in a "get woke, go broke" scenario, but the movie became a massive success... and those same people refused to believe they could be wrong, and conjured up fanciful conspiracy theories claiming Disney buying most of the tickets for the film. They actively want "woke" things to go broke, and so they'll use whatever rationalizations and twisted logic they can to "prove" their point.

You are not wrong but i do wanna clarify one thing, and is the fact that most people with that mentality (at least the ones that i know) including the very same Youtuber who created the (Get Woke go Broke) meme, actually expected Captain Marvel to be a success (solely on the fact that it was a lead up to End Game) and they even repeated that several times on different videos.

However im not refuting you since im not surprised if there were fools that thought a movie like that would tank because of wokeness.

In my opinion the only way marvel movies could go "woke and then broke" is if every movie after endgame got obviously and obnoxiously woke, and even then it would take a lot of movies for such a thing to happen.



Who would've known that hiding videos that people would want to see leads to people watching fewer videos.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

You wouldn't be surprised if they end bankrupt? One of the wealthiest companies in the world? I guess yeah, if you get your facts from clickbait YouTube videos.

Well YouTube in general isn't profitable from my understanding.

Its really comes from the sentiment that YouTube is targeting content creators that have right leaning views.

Whether it be via shadow banning, demonetization or even shutting down channels in some cases. Its certainly not a coincidence.

I can't imagine you would get that unless you have a history of looking for that type of content.
