To be blunt: the government should not be restricting any platform's ability to moderate content in law or by court, as ShortFormErnie notes, that's what Section 230 is all about. I didn't know that at one point, but now I do. You can find out too: Chronotope/1125220504032378880

ShortFormErnie It sure is shitty that YouTube is also so prudish that it is demonetizing LGBTQ+ folks' videos, but that's their right to do so, and their choice tells you all you need to know about what type of company they are. Choose to build your community somewhere else...

ShortFormErnie The only way to fix this issue is to create more competition for YouTube. If you create market pressure on them it can only be for the best, they'll either need to consider their rules in order to compete or you'll create a more independent and diverse web.

ShortFormErnie Also, to put on my crude capitalism and ads hat: LGBTQ+ folks are generally have a decent amount of disposable income and are a highly valuable audience that advertisers probably want, so someone fked that one up... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_money

ShortFormErnie Like... YouTube is just bad as a company in a lot of ways, but one of them is def. screwing over their own ability to make money because, look here: nielsen.com/us/en/insights/article/2015/us-lgbt-shoppers-make-more-trips-spend-more-than-average/

ShortFormErnie I know these are never effective and never happen, but sure feels like an opportunity to do some sort of boycott.

ShortFormErnie I know these are gross general money stats that don't actually represent individuals in the community, but these are the sort of numbers MBAs, marketing and sales people like and use, so speaking on their own terms: you want to make LGBTQ+ people very available to advertise to.

ShortFormErnie Capitalism sucks because these are the games we have to play, but while we're here we should all be thinking about how to play them.
