SNEAKO - Why Reddit is Terrible Now.

00:00:00.000 the tragic tale of reddit reddit moderators are destroying the entire internet in fact reddit

00:00:06.480 moderators might just be the worst thing to have ever happened in internet history

00:00:10.240 and by the end of this video i promise you that you'll agree with me you know a reddit moderator

00:00:14.800 is a lot like a teacher's pet at school the teacher's pet was that guy we all knew he felt

00:00:18.800 superior to the rest the guy who'd boss everyone around teacher teacher he he's cheating he he he

00:00:26.560 copied my homework oh thanks for telling me yeah you nerds everybody who echoes stuff like put on a

00:00:34.720 mask you need to put this on don't say that yeah stay inside i excommunicated my family who didn't

00:00:41.280 take this all of you who do that your teacher's pets for the government goofy you like the moral

00:00:46.880 feeling that you're doing the right thing because that's what the teacher does the teacher tells you

00:00:50.320 the rules and then you follow them and so if you're echoing what the teacher's telling you to do 0.91

00:00:54.400 you're a teacher's pet you're a little snitch you're a rat around the guy who'd tattle on

00:01:00.320 everyone for breaking insignificant rules you could almost smell their power trip but what if this guy 0.95

00:01:06.160 could boss around millions in the most petty ways imaginable well that's where reddit moderators come

00:01:11.680 in reddit moderators moderate reddit for free with their only compensation being the illusion of

00:01:16.560 authority these powerless and deeply troubled people look to exert power in any way they can

00:01:22.240 your account's only a year old you only had one cake day you can't post here they're the same

00:01:27.920 types of people who become abusive police officers but instead of policing shout out to sir spence i

00:01:32.240 know that guy was playing this reddit moderate crime redimod's police language in 2020 redimod's

00:01:37.440 police language so badly that they ended up deleting six percent of all reddit posts and this is because

00:01:42.960 blatant censorship and people don't talk about it people still trust the greater system like that they

00:01:47.680 blatantly have an agenda they're censoring what is against the narrative and everyone's like well

00:01:54.560 it's hate speech this is toxic anyway why did they delete all my favorite subreddits bro

00:02:00.160 r.i.p slash the donald r slash the donald was one of the funniest subreddits got the memes in there

00:02:05.680 were crazy back in 2016 tumblr in action now that's basically libs of tick tock on twitter but tumblr in

00:02:11.840 action was where you could see all like the angry feminists back in the day they deleted that and then the 1.00

00:02:16.160 red pill the red pill was where guys were started to talk about the truth about things they deleted

00:02:20.240 that subreddit too they hide it but that's why it goes viral now because there's there's very clearly

00:02:26.960 a market for that and they censor it everywhere else so you got to use a bunch of keywords i got to say

00:02:31.760 the injection or i got to say limp prawn to talk about the stuff that they don't want you to talk about

00:02:38.960 instead they just feed it to you power hungry mods are now in control of 92 of the top 500 subreddits

00:02:45.520 so then the real question is who are these anonymous moderators placing the internet why

00:02:49.520 would anyone moderate thousands of subreddits and millions of posts for free and most important

00:02:54.080 of all how did 92 of the top 500 subreddits fall under the hands of six power hungry mods

00:02:59.840 well the answer to these questions goes a lot deeper than i initially expected because to

00:03:03.280 understand the reddit mod you need to understand reddit you need to understand where it all went wrong

00:03:07.920 because somewhere somehow reddit turned into everything it swore to destroy reddit never used to

00:03:12.560 promote tyranny and censorship reddit never deleted six percent of all posts in fact

00:03:16.720 reddit used to be a platform for tolerance and free speech so what on earth happened

00:03:20.720 well this is the real story of the rise and fall of reddit

00:03:30.240 the story begins in the dorm rooms of the university of virginia co-founder of reddit steve huffman

00:03:35.520 otherwise known as spes was your typical nerdy character he was that zuckerberg type geeky

00:03:40.560 computery smart and power hungry and unbeknownst to him spes's perfect match was just across the

00:03:46.400 dorm so alexis and i met in college we were hall mates first year he lived right across the hall from

00:03:51.520 me he was disappointed because he thought i was a girl i was like oh alexis and mike live across the

00:03:56.880 hall it must be like a co-ed dorm that's cool it wouldn't take long for spares to realize alexis

00:04:02.080 was really just the charming version of himself and over the following years alexis and spares would become

00:04:06.800 close friends their friendship was strengthened by their passion for computing in order to monetize

00:04:11.120 this passion they would come up with their first idea for a startup my mobile menu and one of the

00:04:15.920 ideas i had was for ordering food from your cell phone i had told alexis this idea once he's like

00:04:21.200 we should totally build it however the idea was simply too far ahead of his time after the pitch

00:04:26.000 failed to gain enough financial support the two would begin working on a new idea during this time

00:04:31.200 internet culture was in its infancy internet memes were only just beginning to crop up here and there

00:04:35.920 and spares and alexis this was the golden age of the internet bro a lot of you came in from tiktok

00:04:40.000 you don't remember this just caught on to this they could tell their internet culture wasn't going

00:04:43.760 anywhere soon it was clear that if spares and alexis could figure out a way to centralize internet

00:04:48.240 culture millions were to be made and so spares and alexis were set out to do just that their idea

00:04:54.080 was to create a site that would be the front page of the internet this would later become the adopted

00:04:58.400 slogan of the website but for now the slogan was initially called snoop the intention behind snoop was for

00:05:03.760 people to ask what's new although it wouldn't take long for them to realize the domain name was

00:05:07.760 already taken so a few other domain ideas were considered uberloo 360 scope hot snoop ripe fresh

00:05:13.120 dose dose and numerous others but eventually the name reddit was suggested by alexis and much like snoop

00:05:18.720 reddit was a mix of the words reddit as in iredit on reddit after receiving funding from angel investors

00:05:24.640 reddit was released on the 23rd of june 2005. over the following months both alexis and spares created

00:05:31.280 numerous fake accounts in order to jumpstart the website spamming the site with interesting links

00:05:35.920 in order to give any unsuspecting visitors the illusion of a thriving online community

00:05:40.560 alexis and i started submitting all the content just to keep the thing full right because reddit's

00:05:44.080 no fun if the page is blank we would come up with a post and a random username to give the impression

00:05:48.800 that the site had more people on it the reddit team would expand not long after and in november 2005

00:05:54.080 reddit merged with competitor sites infogami the merging of infogami and reddit would bring reddit a new

00:05:59.680 co-founder a co-founder named aaron schwartz this was a pivotal moment for reddit aaron schwartz

00:06:05.520 becoming co-founder was the final piece of the jigsaw for reddit success you see aaron was a computing

00:06:11.440 prodigy by the age of 13 aaron had already created the site info network a site serving as a user

00:06:17.520 generated encyclopedia so it would seem that aaron was the perfect guy to serve as a reddit co-founder

00:06:22.400 and this was true because in the months following the merger reddit's popularity began to skyrocket

00:06:28.480 although a few months into aaron's arrival things started to get rocky

00:06:32.560 someone's own attendant said all social media tos are vague for that reason they want that free legal

00:06:37.200 space to make excuses every time they shut you down plus bad customer service with which they

00:06:41.440 can fix because they make millions yeah all my videos get demonetized every single one there's

00:06:45.040 no place to contact and they never tell you why your videos get demonetized and you can put 0.98

00:06:48.640 anything under hate speech when they say they're censoring hate speech a bunch of dumb bots 0.97

00:06:52.960 teacher pets people yeah that's good hate speech is bad what is hate speech anything can be called 0.96

00:06:59.440 harassment anything can be called bullying anything so they can just delete whatever the 0.80

00:07:04.320 fuck they want you've seen it in the stream in season two they've just taken down my stream a 0.95

00:07:09.120 couple times and they don't say why they say policy violations does anyone read it literally nobody 0.99

00:07:15.200 reads it you just click yes okay and you're okay with that the argument from all these nerds is always

00:07:21.200 well they can make the rules that they want to make how are you okay with that these are the basic

00:07:27.200 apps for free speech now these are the basic apps for communication and you're like well they can

00:07:32.560 make the rules that they want are you serious bro you just gonna let them do whatever the hell they

00:07:38.080 want to do what happened to free speech but all you this is the right thing to do bots bots this was

00:07:46.560 because aaron's view of the world differed greatly to spezzers aaron viewed the internet as a tool to

00:07:51.120 hold governments and corporations accountable he thought the internet could be the ultimate tool

00:07:55.280 for free speech where anyone anywhere the ultimate tool for free speech what happened they deleted

00:08:02.000 all the best subreddits all the funniest ones because it was triggering a bunch of bots it was

00:08:06.960 hurting your feelings too much and they want you know what they gave up they gave up they want to

00:08:12.320 get advertisers they want to make a lot of money and advertisers don't like funny 0.99

00:08:16.320 shit advertisers don't like stuff that's too wild they want predictable nice spoon-fed liberal 0.99

00:08:22.880 bullshit thanks for the five nobility been on the internet since 2007 and it changed so much 0.99

00:08:26.720 censorship dominates reddit was crazy one sub was r slash watch people delete lmao that was the best 0.94

00:08:33.680 one people exploding people but it's like this was not good for your for your but that's what the

00:08:40.240 internet was back in the day the internet or do you remember r slash 50 50 where you could click on it

00:08:45.760 maybe you would see a hot girl and maybe you would see a beheading in the middle east are you kidding 0.87

00:08:51.760 it used to be wild and that's why it was great maybe on 4chan you could still find some crazy shit but 0.93

00:08:57.120 now like everybody on 4chan is called an alt-right incel 4chan is a wild place bro i used to be on that 0.97

00:09:03.520 shit when i was 13 on r slash b are you kidding like some of the craziest stuff you could find 0.86

00:09:10.400 slash poll oh my god man that's where people just let loose all the most wild people on the internet 0.99

00:09:18.400 none of it exists now it just it's too it's too crazy people need to be controlled people cannot be

00:09:24.240 wild people go insane to express their opinions freely aaron thought that information needs to be free

00:09:30.080 open and unregulated although the same thing couldn't be said for spares spares viewed the

00:09:35.440 internet as an opportunity for business this was the dividing line between aaron and spares

00:09:40.560 and in a way it was this divide that would shape the internet as we know today

00:09:49.920 2005 was a revolutionary year facebook had just been released youtube was brand new and reddit

00:09:54.960 was being spammed with spares links in 2005 the internet was still seen as something nerdy

00:10:00.080 this was a time two years before the release of the first iphone and we are calling it you could

00:10:05.440 use to you'd be able to see titties on youtube back in the day you could watch spider-man in 17 parts

00:10:10.480 back in the day iphone anything could happen aaron schwartz wanted to steer the internet into being an

00:10:18.560 electronic libertarian utopia a world free from government regulation and corporate corruption he

00:10:23.760 wanted the internet to be a land of pure democracy where each and every person had an equal say in the world

00:10:28.880 that was the whole point of reddit and nobody cares that they changed the whole point that was

00:10:34.240 the whole philosophy of it no one blinks an eye yes that's good censor it where real world leaders

00:10:39.760 would be scrutinized in real time where elites would be forced into open transparency the internet

00:10:44.880 offered an opportunity for ordinary people who weren't part of the power structure to take back

00:10:49.440 power to themselves and aaron saw reddit as a beacon of these principles a hub for ordinary free thinkers

00:10:55.760 however aaron's view of the internet would be confronted by the other side by the other tech

00:11:00.240 giants who wanted their platforms to become the titans of the digital age the side that wanted to

00:11:04.480 consolidate and control massive percentages of internet traffic and the money that comes with 0.94

00:11:08.560 it pioneers of the internet like suck wanted a small group of companies to decide what you can

00:11:13.680 and can't say and a small group of moderators to follow their orders but aaron hated think about

00:11:19.040 it chat is it really to censor hate speech or are they just trying to control you are they

00:11:22.800 trying to not let you see everything are they do they not want you to discuss the things that

00:11:27.040 we should be discussing do they want to push a narrative or are they censoring hate speech

00:11:32.960 think about these ideas aaron hated the corporate world and was motivated to do everything he could

00:11:37.520 for free speech and at the time aaron wasn't alone in fact co-founder alexis could also see the

00:11:42.480 importance of free speech to alexis free speech was a right that must be protected this is why alexis

00:11:47.600 actually joined aaron in his campaign against congress's stop online piracy act alexis even

00:11:52.080 went so far as to launch the national anti-soper protests this has become an issue that's much

00:11:56.640 bigger than just saving the internet now this is a fight to save democracy it is a fight to show

00:12:03.440 that our elected officials are beholden to the electorate not to lobbyists

00:12:12.000 this was a period where a large proportion of tech giants actively defended the principles of free

00:12:16.720 speech and in this time reddit was a hub for somewhat serious or interesting discussion

00:12:21.360 it was diverse but not stupid but all of this would quickly change in the years to come

00:12:28.160 i've seen the shift man people are very clearly becoming way more botted up

00:12:36.240 by late 2006 reddit was taking off the combination of spares alexis and aaron would prove to be a hugely

00:12:42.160 successful business move and people were noticing speaking of free speech mods can you clean up this

00:12:46.560 chat those people very obviously spamming like this is when you need to censor it there's people

00:12:50.480 being annoying bro holy bro in october 2006 reddit was sold to condenas publications condenas

00:12:57.200 publications is a mass media company known for being the owners of wide magazine at the time reddit was

00:13:01.760 sold for a report to 10 to 20 million dollars with the acquisition of reddit the team moved off to

00:13:06.560 san francisco but for aaron schwartz this was where things would start to go downhill in the month

00:13:11.760 after the acquisition aaron began to complain about the corporate influence over reddit aaron claimed

00:13:17.120 wired has tried to make the offices look exciting by painting the walls pink but the gray office

00:13:21.520 monotony sneaks through all the same gray walls gray desks gray noise the first day i showed up here

00:13:27.280 i simply couldn't take it by lunchtime i'd literally locked myself in a bathroom stall and started crying

00:13:32.800 aaron's thoughts and reddit's takeover along with a burning belief in free speech meant the inevitable

00:13:38.080 would happen aaron schwartz was fired from reddit in january 2007 and by the year 2009 the co-founders

00:13:44.640 would all go their own separate ways and begin their new why does it like every tech startup they

00:13:49.280 always looked like these guys and by the year like of course these guys a word like the faces it's

00:13:56.240 always these guys who end up becoming the most powerful people in the world pay attention because

00:14:01.760 these are the crypto nerds these were crypto geeks and nft annoying people look like whose nfts are their

00:14:07.200 whole personality and monkey like drugged out molly monkeys are their profile picture those are the 1.00

00:14:13.040 people who are going to rule the world next and you think they're just like stupid geeks and because 0.99

00:14:16.800 they are but they become the most rich and powerful people they're the ones who escape the matrix and 0.98

00:14:21.840 understand what's really going on 2009 the co-founders would all go their own separate ways and begin their

00:14:27.280 new lives aaron used the money from reddit and his knowledge on computing to embark on political action

00:14:32.720 on september the 25th 2010 aaron downloaded the whole westlaw legal database in a project with

00:14:38.000 stanford law students the goal was to uncover the connections between the funders of legal research

00:14:42.800 and the legal system itself what aaron found was incredibly disturbing aaron discovered that law

00:14:48.320 professors in stanford were receiving lobbying money from companies like exxon mobile during oil spills

00:14:53.360 as this served as an effective route to bail themselves out of legal troubles aaron never released

00:14:57.680 the documents but it was reported that aaron was going to analyze the data for evidence of corporate

00:15:02.080 funding of climate change research that led to biased results following these actions the fbi would

00:15:07.200 begin to track aaron's activity unaware he was being investigated aaron continued campaigning for free

00:15:12.320 speech and political transparency and so yeah it's true sites like wiki leaks are going to be putting up

00:15:17.680 some embarrassing material about what the us government does and people are going to be organizing shout

00:15:22.160 out to everybody with wiki with wiki leaks and to protest about it and try and change their government

00:15:27.680 you know and that's a good thing that's what all these first amendment rights of free expression

00:15:31.760 of freedom of association are all about and so the notion that we should try and shut those down

00:15:35.840 i think just goes against very basic american principles the principle i think is one that

00:15:40.160 our founding fathers would have understood if the internet had been around back then instead of

00:15:43.760 putting post offices in the constitution they would have put isps well it's definitely interesting

00:15:48.560 to see aaron would travel across the us giving live talks on the importance of a free and open

00:15:53.120 internet it was through this work that aaron was able to get enough support to prevent the stop

00:15:57.040 online piracy act this bill would be a huge potentially permanent law bro i feel like

00:16:01.840 he disappeared every time you start hearing details like this the guy ends up disappearing

00:16:06.880 if we lost the ability to communicate with each other over the internet

00:16:10.640 it would be a change to the bill of rights the freedoms guaranteed in our constitution the freedoms

00:16:15.280 our country had been built on would be suddenly deleted new technology instead of bringing us greater

00:16:21.360 freedom would have snuffed out fundamental rights we don't write the ear music chat yo is this guy gonna

00:16:26.480 disappear off the map is he gonna end up in a spanish guatemalan prison and he had deleted

00:16:31.280 himself after trying to expose some stuff what happened always taken for granted and i realized

00:16:36.880 that day talking to peter that i couldn't let that happen thanks angel three months after the speech

00:16:43.760 aaron was arrested following an indictment by federal course of cases see what i'm saying you can tell by

00:16:49.040 the eerie music it's not just like a spooky movie you can tell when people start echoing this stuff

00:16:54.480 they disappear they get convicted of some crime but we saw yesterday in the stream hunter biden be 0.99

00:17:00.080 smoking crack and fucking riding around with secret service people killing black people and 0.99

00:17:04.800 shit nothing happens to him but people like actually advocate for free speech which is some of the basic 1.00

00:17:10.560 things of american rights in the constitution and what happens they go to jail 0.94

00:17:14.560 perron's indictment contained charges of 50 years in prison and a 1 million dollar fine

00:17:18.800 what for what for what however these charges were harsh for a reason in 2012 the u.s government

00:17:26.240 wanted to make an example of people breaking into confidential files and with the u.s government's

00:17:30.640 failure to extradite julian assad shout out to julian assad bro these are the goats these are the

00:17:35.760 goats bro if you don't know who this is research julian assad and look up what happened with wikileaks if

00:17:41.200 you never heard about this aaron schwartz and you won't what you're gonna do is you're gonna go back

00:17:45.200 to tiktok this is toxic who's this guy in my for you page i'm gonna watch more dancing videos this is

00:17:52.080 problematic if you don't know look up julian assad knew he was gonna face the brunt of government

00:17:56.560 power there was no way the government was letting another wikileaks situation happen again aaron knew

00:18:01.280 things were bad very very bad and look what happened to reddit now reddit's all fucking limbled up 0.94

00:18:07.600 a bunch of bots saying the same exact thing 26 year old aaron schwartz was facing the prospect of

00:18:13.200 living the rest of his life in a cage aaron had been cornered into a trap and after five months of

00:18:18.240 his arrest aaron schwartz committed suicide oh yeah sure sure sure yeah sure yeah yeah yeah what did i

00:18:30.960 say what did i say i haven't seen this video but this story happens on repeat all the time look

00:18:37.520 up john mcafee the guy from mcafee software what happened he got his wife to tattoo i will not kill

00:18:54.880 i'm telling you i didn't why i didn't know this but i know this it's a repeat thing the government 0.99

00:19:00.160 does it right in front of your face and you still have faith dead ass chat this is some real 1.00

00:19:05.600 shit bro 1.00

00:19:18.560 just like what happened to epstein right epstein of course of course who do you think really did it 0.98

00:19:25.040 every time every time they start talking about this stuff and i'm telling you if they hide

00:19:32.480 information it's true

00:19:41.520 aaron's death marked the end of an era up until now the internet had always been free of censorship

00:19:46.720 censorship was only really used for legal purposes to keep the internet somewhat civilized and red

00:19:51.280 moderators did as they were meant to filtering out spam and views and managing small online

00:19:55.120 communities but all of this would change in 2014. you see in the years after the co-founders left

00:20:00.560 reddit reddit was undergoing huge development reddit had tripled its page views and in 2011 reddit had

00:20:06.880 gained 1 billion page views a month then in january 2012 reddit doubled its page views again

00:20:12.080 getting 2 billion views a month there was no see as soon as it gets too big there's too many bots involved

00:20:17.200 you can't have free speech there because they need to control the narrative people cannot deal with

00:20:22.400 information people can't handle truth so they need to regulate it so chat some advice if you don't

00:20:27.680 believe what i'm talking about look at the stuff they try to censor with intense detail really pay

00:20:33.840 attention to what they're hiding because that's the reality they hide reality they don't want you to

00:20:39.120 know what's actually happening everything they teach you in school the history books is all manipulated

00:20:44.320 they want to give you a narrative why do we like how many of you are american we all grew up thinking

00:20:48.240 like americans we're the good guys we were the saviors of world war ii really really why are we

00:20:54.720 always the good guys on our history books why are we saluting a flag and then reading books yes we're

00:21:00.000 the good people so that you become obedient to the government so you start believing the government is

00:21:04.800 good no stop in sight and by 2013 reddit was receiving 56 billion page views and 71 billion page views

00:21:12.880 in 2014. however in 2014 reddit took a turn for the worst a turn that would make reddit the model

00:21:19.360 for the internet censorship we see today because before 2014 reddit was getting a lot of scrutiny

00:21:24.400 in the media at the start this was mainly about the jail-based subreddit a subreddit which featured

00:21:28.720 inappropriate and illegal photos of young girls so reddit responded to these criticisms rightly 1.00

00:21:33.280 and removed the subreddit from the platform but this media criticism was only scratching the surface

00:21:38.320 okay jailbait i understand why you could censor that that makes sense that's just actual cp but

00:21:43.120 for the next year reddit would be slanted for being a sexist platform for example the huffington

00:21:48.240 post claimed that reddit was sexist purely for being a male dominated site you see what i'm talking 1.00

00:21:54.240 about huffington post is like that's what all the liberals believe in like that stupid ass website that's 1.00

00:21:58.880 just how could a site be sexist just because there's a bunch of men on it 0.99

00:22:07.920 is it sexist that all women watch keeping up with the kardashians no the claims of reddit being sexist

00:22:14.160 got so bad that co-founder alexis pleaded reddit users to quote cool it with the sexist comments

00:22:20.800 cool it with the anti-semitic remarks alexis also claimed that reddit is defined by quote straight

00:22:26.880 white men the atlantic and other magazines picked up on this why is that a bad thing for some reason

00:22:32.400 like in 2014 2015 they made straight white men an evil word like you're a bad guy if you're a straight 0.99

00:22:40.560 white man and that's why i'm talking about this shit now because if i was a straight white man saying 0.99

00:22:44.960 the same shit they would call me all right i'm telling you i'm privileged to be in this position 1.00

00:22:50.000 to be blasian mexican whatever the fuck you think i am because they can't use the same slurs that they 1.00

00:22:55.200 use on other people they can't call me a trump supporter they can't call me a hi is iron vine vine 0.99

00:22:59.920 they can't call me because it doesn't hit the same so what so what they need people like they 0.99

00:23:05.520 need mixed people to be talking the shit because you can't call me racist now you know i have no bias 0.99

00:23:11.040 into the belief that reddit was a place for sexists and straight white men this scared reddit stockholders 0.99

00:23:15.920 and advertisers alike which is why reddit would suddenly undergo a radical change

00:23:19.920 street white cis men streets this way men the first steps towards reddit's change would come

00:23:26.400 with ellen powell's appointment as ceo of reddit in the lead-up to powell being ceo powell had gained

00:23:31.360 notoriety in silicon valley most famously for her gender discrimination lawsuit where she sued the 0.96

00:23:36.400 venture capital firm kleiner perkins for what she perceived to be sexist business practices and

00:23:41.040 whilst the lawsuit was unsuccessful the media rallied behind her as a feminist saint she was the perfect 0.78

00:23:46.720 shield for reddit so reddit employed her as ceo of the company in 2014. this was the moment reddit

00:23:54.160 changed for the worst ellen powell's rise to ceo created a new era of reddit an era aaron schwartz

00:23:59.600 had spent his life warning against an era defined by powermont censorship and propaganda and it all

00:24:05.200 began with ellen powell's announcement that reddit was no longer a platform for if you look at reddit

00:24:09.760 now reddit back in the day used to be a wild place you would never know what to predict on the

00:24:13.200 front page but look at reddit now you don't believe me oh i don't want to look up reddit because

00:24:17.200 i'd be looking at some weird shit on the subreddit but let me just open it up in a new tab so you

00:24:20.400 don't see the subreddits i look at let me see let me just show you

00:24:32.160 it's all safe it's all same stuff you see in like twitter hashtags it used to be wild you never know what

00:24:37.600 you would see bro actually let me not open up reddit right now let me not open up reddit right now

00:24:42.720 i'd be following some weird subreddits bro i ain't gonna lie

00:24:50.560 oh we're on video free speech the announcement came after numerous subreddits were banned by reddit

00:24:56.320 but this time it wasn't for legal reasons it was to escape the bad reputation reddit was gaining from

00:25:00.720 the consequences of free speech a complete u-turn of reddit's original policy stated by admins just two

00:25:05.680 months beforehand chat don't say you didn't see anything crazy right that was okay yeah yeah

00:25:10.720 yeah that's why yeah yes yeah that's that's that's yes yes okay someone said it admins actually

00:25:16.400 created a blog titled every man is responsible for his own soul in the blog post reddit admins

00:25:21.040 repeatedly claimed the importance of free speech on reddit this is a quote from reddit admins

00:25:25.680 we uphold the ideal of free speech from reddit as much as possible not because we are legally bound to

00:25:30.400 but because we believe that you the user has the right to choose between right and wrong good and

00:25:35.280 evil and that it is your responsibility to do so when you know something is right you should choose

00:25:40.480 to do it what as much as possible we will not force you to do it however these claims were just as

00:25:49.600 hollow as reddit's moderator guidelines and when i talk about reddit's moderator guidelines this is

00:25:53.920 what i mean so basically for ellen power to increase reddit censorship reddit would need power mods to 1.00

00:25:58.640 handle the dirty work and so in october 2014 the first major power mod was born a mod known as gallo

00:26:04.960 boob gallo boob is the digital representation of reddit's new era gallo boob is a mod with over 36

00:26:12.320 million karma he's everybody who's been on reddit for like over five years knows exactly who this guy

00:26:16.880 is turned a power mod for his vast control of the top subreddits controlling huge subreddits like r

00:26:22.480 oddly satisfying r relationship advice and r wrote me he's a power mod notorious for blocking comments

00:26:28.160 critical of him and not only comments it got so bad that a subreddit calling out gallo boob's power

00:26:33.280 hungry censorship was also banned from reddit this was the new era of reddit where those criticizing

00:26:39.040 the power structure would be threatened with banishment in the words of ellen powell reddit 0.99

00:26:42.960 was no longer a bastion of free speech but again in 2014 this was just the tip of the iceberg you see

00:26:49.120 in theory reddit's moderator guidelines require volunteers not to use a breach of one set of

00:26:53.440 community rules to ban a user from another community because these guidelines were created

00:26:57.920 in a time when internet censorship was looked down upon but this was a new era an era when even more

00:27:03.120 power mods would begin to emerge like the infamous moderator awkward the turtle awkward the

00:27:07.600 turtle is in control of 2572 subreddits and like gallo boob he's a mod notorious for silencing

00:27:15.760 opinions he doesn't like and unfortunately these occurrences aren't anomalies either

00:27:19.840 el gallo boob in the chat moderated tyranny in the last few years has gotten to an all-time high

00:27:24.400 with this model of censorship spreading across the internet like wildfire but for now in 2014

00:27:29.840 power mods were only just beginning to rear their ugly head the most hated person on reddit wasn't

00:27:34.400 gallo boob or awkward the turtle the real hatred was for the ceo ellen powell whether at the time 0.69

00:27:40.400 still cared about free speech and internet censorship because these ideas were at the core of reddit and

00:27:45.280 with ellen powell's statements and actions redditors disliked her deeply the watershed moment for this

00:27:50.160 hatred came when former community manager david croach gave an ask me anything about being fired from reddit

00:27:55.440 david croach stated that ellen powell dismissed him with one year of health coverage when he had

00:27:59.200 cancer as a result of this a petition was made to remove power as ceo of reddit and so on july the

00:28:04.800 10th ellen powell resigned to ceo but maybe ellen powell was just the instrument and not the musician 0.97

00:28:10.000 because ellen powell wasn't anywhere near as authoritarian as the person who would replace her spares 0.98

00:28:15.280 chad if you don't know about this it goes deep spares's reign as ceo brought about the most

00:28:27.360 change to reddit and as you could guess this change wasn't good far from it this quickly became obvious

00:28:33.120 when spares decided to scrub aaron schwartz's legacy on reddit spares removed aaron's position

00:28:37.920 on reddit's co-founder page and began scrubbing posts heralding aaron schwartz's legacy this was a

00:28:43.120 move that would define reddit's new position on free speech next spes would introduce the quarantine 0.88

00:28:48.160 which was an effective tool to silence communities that didn't break any rules spares produced the

00:28:57.840 quarantine to discredit content that spares didn't like and when i say spares would censor content that

00:29:02.560 he didn't personally like i mean it was content that spares personally didn't like infamously spares

00:29:08.400 went into reddit's database to alter and change comments he didn't like to distort posts in the

00:29:13.600 r donald subreddit of course those in the donald subreddit didn't take too kindly to the move so

00:29:17.840 the donald called out spares direct censorship and manipulation of speech and even created a

00:29:21.920 subreddit dedicated to criticizing spares and guess what happened to it but to spares this was outrageous

00:29:27.920 how dare users enact their revenge and so once again spares used his position to see think about it

00:29:33.520 the same thing that happened on reddit is pretty much what the government is power corrupts they

00:29:38.320 don't care about free speech they care more about themselves they're just going to manipulate it they

00:29:41.920 don't care about the little guy as soon as people get that level of power they control that many people

00:29:46.800 it corrupts you and you just lose all your morals every single time to modify comments attacking him

00:29:53.600 changing these comments to instead criticize r donald mods rather than himself but spares couldn't do all of

00:29:58.960 this on his own and this is where reddit moderators would become notorious for the mickey mouse levels of

00:30:03.840 censorship because as i mentioned earlier reddit's decline was catalyzed by the combination of power

00:30:09.200 hungry moderators and censoring reddit administrators on this new reddit it became common practice for

00:30:14.880 political opinions to be banned from the site and it wasn't just spares editing comments it was reddit

00:30:19.680 moderators exerting their power over all those who disagree with the status quo which don't say that

00:30:25.360 i have power just like discord mods everybody as soon as they get an ounce of a little bit of power

00:30:31.120 they abuse it discord mods reddit mods anybody who could even like the mods in this chat they'll

00:30:36.640 just ban people who say anything mean about them people will flex their power it is what it is why

00:30:41.280 saying things like this would get you removed because reddit power mods love that sweet sensation of

00:30:46.800 bossing people around in the most minor ways imaginable and i could go on and on about the countless

00:30:51.760 examples of moderator tyranny but i think it can all be perfectly summed up with this post right

00:30:56.240 here and just guess what happened to this post it was of course removed by reddit moderators and not

00:31:01.440 only that the user who posted it was banned from over 40 major subreddits in 40 minutes and you're

00:31:09.120 banned you can no longer post on wholesome puppers so then you may be asking how did these bunch of 0.98

00:31:16.880 nerds who have no power in real life because they're a bunch of nerds who wear fedoras but so

00:31:22.240 m'lady and so they just flex into like that's their power that's their place to shine a subreddit 1.00

00:31:29.440 a discord server because their lives suck in real life they have no power in real life so where are

00:31:37.040 they going to get off reddit to gain so much power why was aaron schwartz scrubbed from reddit history

00:31:43.280 why did spares actively work to stifle the free speech of reddit users i mentioned earlier that

00:31:48.480 these reddit mods are like teachers pets with their only compensation being power but this isn't the

00:31:53.360 full story you see in order to run hundreds and thousands of subreddits it takes a ridiculous amount

00:31:59.040 of time time that just isn't available to you if you're working or being a normal human being in

00:32:02.960 society unless you're being paid for this time power mod galloboot for example has been caught

00:32:09.120 several times taking money from companies to show their products on reddit one of these cases was

00:32:13.520 with gallo boob advertising for netflix on the subreddits hail corporates when people on the subreddit

00:32:18.400 began to call him out on it he would remove every single critical comment the gallo boobs of reddit are 0.98

00:32:24.240 like the cambridge analytica for corporations these mods have influence over millions and unrivaled power

00:32:29.600 on the website the trade-off being they do the dirty work for reddit admins and in return reddit turns

00:32:35.120 a blind eye to their profiteering from advertising products and this wasn't the only thing reddit turned

00:32:39.520 a blind eye to i mentioned in my last video on reddit that reddit was being manipulated by big

00:32:43.600 finance i detailed in the video how corporations use reddit as a tool for propaganda but it's not

00:32:48.640 only corporate propaganda in fact reddit has become the engine for the political censorship we see today

00:32:53.280 the most clear sign of this came with hillary clinton's campaign in 2016 which used our politics to

00:32:58.400 promote articles faithful yo if you remember in 2016 like that was the most i think the election with

00:33:04.320 the most amount of social media presence i was on i mean at least for me politics is such a left

00:33:10.960 leaning subreddit it was so obvious that's why all the trump supporters were in the donald and then

00:33:15.760 they deleted the subreddit but every single post of politics was a bunch of hillary shills if it's

00:33:21.520 politics then why is it only left-leaning people even though trump won he got more votes but then oh

00:33:26.640 okay this subreddit is only fucking libs hillary and every time redditors brought up the fact that 0.97

00:33:31.760 hillary clinton received more money from the arms and weapons industry than any other candidates in 1.00

00:33:35.760 history deleted these posts would be downvoted into oblivion that's why you see posts criticizing

00:33:41.600 black lives matter being banned whereas pro black lives matter posts gain thousands of karma it's why 1.00

00:33:46.560 showing just some of the damage done by black lives matter to ordinary people is removed it's why just 1.00

00:33:51.520 up and that's why you think stuff like black lives matter is something that you have to care about black 1.00

00:33:55.920 lives matter is good i care about black people yes because reddit the upvoted and that's what it

00:34:02.000 says it's all manipulating you are you kidding me you're wasting your time at these protests bro

00:34:08.720 there's statues for george floyd come on there's way better things to do with your time take the

00:34:13.600 delete the black square take blm out through tinder bio what are you doing you're not a good person

00:34:19.520 voting some posts on the site will get you banished from reddit that's why reddit turns a blind eye to

00:34:23.840 moderator abuse to keep the reddit status quo in check it's all to keep corporations and political 0.96

00:34:28.720 interest groups happy but nothing could define reddit's era of censorship any better than reddit's

00:34:33.600 submission to the chinese government in 2019 tencent investment into reddit was the final piece of the

00:34:47.440 jigsaw on reddit censorship model i say this because tencent is run by the biggest censors of all the

00:34:53.120 chinese government the dutch hacker victor confirmed this by revealing millions of conversation and

00:34:57.760 users identities on tencent were being sent to police stations across china and just three days

00:35:03.040 after this was revealed the tencent founder and chief executive had a seat in the national people's

00:35:08.160 congress and in recent years tencent's activity has become more and more apparent chat are you aware

00:35:13.600 what's going on in china right now let me show you quickly before just really quickly if you don't 0.96

00:35:18.080 believe me look up hashtag shanghai and you could see the craziest shit of all time 0.92

00:35:23.520 covid concentration camps people are laying down there do you know that they're boarding down 0.96

00:35:28.400 apartments in china right now and then people have to jump out of the windows because they they're

00:35:32.480 starving to death and they need food it's complete like absolute communism going on in china and people

00:35:38.720 don't even know this and all you got to do is look up hashtag shanghai and you like people like why

00:35:44.160 are you still talking about the pandemic look at this bro people are escaping like there's some

00:35:49.520 real shit going on but the amount of censorship that's happening people don't even talk about 0.98

00:35:53.840 this you know what they talk about in the trending tab brad pitt look at that brad pitt shows off leg 0.99

00:36:00.000 tattoos with skirt they're talking about brad pitt's leg tattoos but in shanghai people are like climbing 0.99

00:36:06.560 out of their own apartments that are being boarded shut but people are talking about brad pitt's leg

00:36:11.920 tattoos all of it is manipulated all of it they're just trying to show you stuff that keeps you

00:36:16.640 comfortable look at that look at the kova gear they got in shanghai they don't want you to know 1.00

00:36:23.840 about this but it's right there on the internet why is this not trending why is nobody talking about

00:36:29.440 this on the news shanghai is one of the biggest cities in china none of you knew about this

00:36:33.520 this is right now look at that nucleic acid testing done once a week what the hell is going

00:36:45.120 on you think it's over this is just getting started this is just the start it's not just because you 0.99

00:36:50.800 took a shot it's done get the fuck out of here bro look at the facial detecting you know that all 0.99

00:36:56.760 these countries that do facial recognition software too like on the streets do you know that you can only 0.99

00:37:01.880 walk one direction on the street and if you if you walk in the opposite direction on the wrong side

00:37:05.880 of the street they just take you to jail literally they just bring you to jail this is happening right

00:37:12.040 now look at the look how like this is insanity man shanghai closed the city again residents of the

00:37:21.940 closed community gathered to protest many police officers like they're closing the city off and in

00:37:27.640 the name of coco all happening right now why are you still talking about it right now because this is the

00:37:39.880 start and the reason you don't know is because of the mass censorship that's happening on every single

00:37:45.840 social media platform wake the fuck up man for example tencent has a 38 percent share in discord

00:37:51.700 a 17 percent share in snapchats and it also has investments in game studios like ubisoft activision

00:37:56.700 and a 40 percent share in epic games and in 2019 tencent invested 150 million dollars into reddit

00:38:04.700 now reddit users are afraid that their beloved platform known for uncensored free speech is going

00:38:10.700 to get censored to meet the demands of the chinese communist party see tencent has a history of censoring

00:38:17.700 things the ccp and i'm going to upload this video pay attention if this gets removed from

00:38:22.740 misinformation then it's real doesn't like it's chinese platforms qq and wechat are both heavily

00:38:30.100 censored and they work with chinese authorities to give them access to user data amnesty international

00:38:37.540 did a report back in 2016 on tech companies protecting users against threats to privacy and freedom of

00:38:44.100 expression the results not so good for tencent chinese firm tencent came bottom the report

00:38:52.100 reads scoring zero out of 100 ranked as the company taking least action on messaging privacy and the

00:38:59.940 least transparent spares always claimed that reddit would never remove content to appease chinese

00:39:04.820 investors in fact he even committed to never doing so but as always the case money speaks which is why

00:39:10.580 viral posts stating that we need to start taking actions to stop china taking over the world 1.00

00:39:14.020 would be removed pictures reminding people of the persecution of uighur muslims would be scrubbed for

00:39:19.220 mainstream subreddits and of course look what comes up when you search coco on twitter what's the first

00:39:25.140 thing that comes know the facts why is this on on social media is this normal to you that if you just

00:39:35.460 search the word this is the first thing that they recommend you that's not like manipulation to you

00:39:41.780 this is normal this social media used to be a place where you could just type stuff and now they're

00:39:46.660 pushing a narrative very obviously know the facts of course the famous pictures remembering the

00:39:54.260 atrocities of tianaman square are banned without any justification which is why on reddit anti-western

00:40:00.100 posts and posts and comments are allowed but criticizing xi xi ping in the ccp ban that's

00:40:05.140 unacceptable or even criticizing lebron james's sellout to china get your posts removed from reddit

00:40:10.980 it's very clear that reddit has irreversibly changed long gone are the days of reddit being

00:40:16.100 a pioneer of free speech the days of aaron schwartz's values being at the core of reddit

00:40:20.660 have been replaced by the values of power-hungry moderators corporations and chinese propaganda 0.64

00:40:26.260 but what if reddit's fool isn't just endemic to reddit reddit has been the catalyst for a wave

00:40:31.300 of censorship across the internet the model of power-hungry moderators out of control tech leaders

00:40:36.180 like spares and political propaganda is a model adopted by almost all social media sites since 2016

00:40:42.340 the chinese communist party paid 20 million dollars to outlets like the los angeles times the chicago

00:40:49.140 tribune and the washington post twitter which now operates as a publisher also receives received

00:40:56.180 checks from the chinese government totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars social media

00:41:00.660 companies have learned from reddit reddit has shown that the backlash to censorship is only minor once

00:41:05.060 you have a group of power-hungry moderators controlling the flow of information look at this

00:41:10.100 you don't you think it's over people are like why are you still talking about it oh my god not again

00:41:14.180 this is on twitter coco variant making reinfections more common you took the shot you thought it was 0.99

00:41:20.180 done you boosted whatever the fuck shit ain't done another variant making reinfections more common 1.00

00:41:27.620 dummies it's not done this was just a trial get ready it's happening again no dead ass bro you can 1.00

00:41:35.620 like call me fake woke here this is twitter you didn't see this you think it's over they're telling you 0.98

00:41:41.300 it's not over you could choose to see it or not it's right in front of your eyes because in 2019

00:41:47.620 a three million dollar funding round led by tencent brought reddit's valuation to three billion dollars

00:41:53.380 almost double reddit's valuation just two years beforehand and in 2021 reddit's valuation is now at

00:41:59.300 six billion dollars but the worst part of all is that reddit moderators could have stopped this

00:42:04.260 they were the only people who had the power to do this they could have shown that social media

00:42:08.980 companies can't get away with the erosion of free speech reddit moderators showed that they had this

00:42:13.860 power to change reddit in 2015. in july of 2015 reddit began experiencing a series of blackouts as

00:42:19.620 moderators set popular subreddit communities to private this was done in protest of the recent

00:42:24.100 firing of victoria taylor this reddit moderator blackout ended up being highly successful and was

00:42:29.300 one of the main reasons why ellen power stepped down as ceo so if moderators could do it back then 1.00

00:42:34.580 why not now well because it doesn't fit into their tribe it goes against the grain of their ideology

00:42:40.260 they don't want to be labeled controversial or conservative or lose any of that lucrative

00:42:44.180 money shooting products from reddit grants them instead the moderators of reddit are compliant to

00:42:48.900 censor anti-china posts in exchange for power and money right in front of your faces stop calling me

00:42:55.220 fake woke stop saying oh yeah you think you're so smart this is just what's happening this is the truth

00:43:00.580 choose to believe it or not bro this model of censorship has made reddit bank this is why you

00:43:06.580 see censorship everywhere on the internet it's an incredibly lucrative business practice to receive

00:43:11.780 chinese funding means you could double your company's valuation in a ridiculously short time frame

00:43:18.100 the only cost this comes with is the fabric of western civilization that's the beauty of america

00:43:24.180 you can be different you can be an individual but now you cannot be an individual that's what north

00:43:30.100 korea did you hear that you can't be an individual in north korea in china you cannot be an individual

00:43:37.300 that's why so many people look up to americans and that's why we're like whoa that's why we're so cool

00:43:42.740 when we go abroad because individuality to some extent is still encouraged here they're shrinking it

00:43:48.420 but in other countries they tell you to be a bot everything they do is to make you into a bot why

00:43:53.860 so that the powerful people get more money and more power the government is all corrupt they want to

00:43:59.620 manipulate they just want to control you as much as possible so that they can live the life that they

00:44:03.460 want to live you should not have any faith in them anybody in a position of power is just trying

00:44:08.180 to manipulate you they don't want you to be an individual they don't want you to change they want

00:44:12.500 you to be a bot listen to her one more time this is someone who made it out escaped from north korea

00:44:17.940 civilization that's the beauty of america that you can be different you can be an individual

00:44:24.500 but now you cannot be an individual that's what north korea did

00:44:29.700 bots

00:44:32.820 are youtube is that i talk about women getting sold in china and those all videos get demonetized

00:44:40.420 because i mean i'm all my videos are getting demonetized chat why do you think every single

00:44:45.620 one of my stream clips is getting demonetized because of what i'm talking about because they

00:44:49.620 don't want you to hear this information pay attention somehow doesn't meet the youtube guideline

00:44:55.060 yeah and they letting north korea regime to have their propaganda channel on youtube

00:45:00.820 so they give a platform to dictatorship but they do not want to give a platform to the people who is

00:45:06.660 fighting this human minds just as fine reddit has been at the core of this censoring trend reddit has

00:45:12.820 shown how easy it is to get moderators to do the dirty work reddit has shown how easy it is for users

00:45:17.940 to accept censorship by controlling the narrative reddit has shown that free speech is no longer a

00:45:23.060 right this precedent and censorship has given the go-ahead for all the other tech giants to censor and

00:45:27.940 people passively accept this because when all dissent are silenced you feel alienated as if your voice

00:45:33.300 doesn't have any support because you never see and connect with all those who don't want to see

00:45:37.540 the erosion of a free and open internet and reddit moderators could have acted as the final buffer

00:45:42.580 they could have been the final force to stop the censoring trend but instead they turn their back on

00:45:47.540 free speech in the country for greed and power every time power corrupts that's just like the philosophy

00:45:53.860 that i realized like at a very young age that we should not trust any of these people in charge power

00:45:58.740 always corrupts always people take advantage of it anybody who's looking for position of power 0.99

00:46:04.020 will always just try to fuck your wife try to keep you down and don't want the position to be 1.00

00:46:09.700 touched they will want to get as rich as possible while you're not even aware of what's happening 1.00

00:46:15.540 that's just what happens that's human nature so stop trusting them are you still voting seriously

00:46:21.460 what are you gonna do next time that when the coco comes back you're gonna three are you gonna put on

00:46:26.740 three masks this time dummy because aoc told me to in an instagram reel bro it's it's just funny to

00:46:36.180 see you all believe this stuff every single time and still half the people watching this when it comes

00:46:40.260 back which is going to the pandemic is not over this was the trial run when they tell you to quarantine

00:46:46.900 again most of you are going to this behavior is anti-western to the core throughout history the

00:46:55.300 default style of governance has always been dictatorship and to be in power you have to be

00:46:59.620 ruthless you have to punish your enemy in the public eye you have to censor speech that doesn't go along

00:47:04.500 with the government projection everybody who's been clipping my tiktoks you see it right all my

00:47:10.020 tiktokers like start talking in the chat right now so other people see what i'm talking about now

00:47:13.380 you see what i'm saying right not only is everyone in the comment section a bot also tiktok's a chinese

00:47:18.180 app but what are they censoring and why did it make any sense to you why they deleted the stuff they

00:47:22.580 deleted what was the the context what was said in the tiktoks in the tiktok they deleted think about

00:47:28.740 it talk to them chat you're in here now i know you are every king and emperor did the same thing

00:47:34.660 until the united states but that's how we how we go against it and that's why i want all the the tiktok

00:47:39.300 just to get in a discord in a discord server so that when they delete it you can color grade it

00:47:43.220 you can flip it and then somebody else can repost it you know i'm saying we need to fight against

00:47:47.300 the censorship we can't keep letting them blatantly censor information right in front of our faces

00:47:52.260 and then push james charles twerking videos and then like body yadi yadi challenges that's what they

00:47:57.620 want you to watch they want to dumb you down that's the programming that's happening james charles

00:48:03.700 lilmaz x twerking on a devil that's what they want you to watch but they hide actual

00:48:08.980 information tiktokers where you at

00:48:14.980 if every if we get more people to be part of it then they can't hide everything they can't

00:48:20.420 the united states a country which understood the importance of freedom of speech

00:48:24.420 the founding fathers knew this because they understood human nature they understand what

00:48:28.820 had happened in the past when free speech was stifled they knew the dangers of censoring

00:48:33.220 but now we see the people who are willing to give all of that up for power and greed this is

00:48:38.340 what makes the fall of reddit so frustrating reddit had the potential to be one of the greatest social

00:48:43.460 media platforms of all time reddit had the power to change the way we look at society reddit could

00:48:48.340 have opened so many doors for interesting discussion unconfined to conventional expectation 1.00

00:48:52.340 and now if you read reddit it's just a bunch of stupid fucking bots because they don't know any better 1.00

00:48:57.860 they're all dumb because they're hiding the real information so they just have these empty dumb 1.00

00:49:03.300 conversations saying the same thing maybe it's 1.00

00:49:07.700 ugh people are getting dumber they don't want you to be awake they really do not want you to think for 0.60

00:49:12.020 yourself patience it could have opened the door for so many others who didn't fit inside the mold 0.58

00:49:16.340 mainstream culture but instead reddit turned its back on this potential i have a discord like a description

00:49:21.940 they haven't censored discord yet as i'm not aware of that yet but i think that's discord is still an

00:49:27.140 open platform simply because reddit let go of its founding core free speech and now a decade later

00:49:32.260 after aaron schwartz's death and it's as though aaron's work never existed reddit was the only social

00:49:38.340 media site that could have actually paved the way for a free and open internet moderators could have held

00:49:42.820 reddit admins accountable to the community and the principles of free speech and when you remember

00:49:46.820 that reddit was a key reason for abolishing the stop online piracy act it makes reddit's demise seem

00:49:51.620 like that much more of a missed opportunity and in a cruel twist of fate reddit's decline into

00:49:56.500 censorship has breathed life into a new era defined by censorship the media celebrities

00:50:01.380 i love john cena i love john cena i love john cena i love john cena he's my favorite celebrity

00:50:11.940 celebrity facebook youtube tiktok i love lebron james yes yes twitter all of them have transitioned into

00:50:22.180 adopt but i'd start telling you about this and what are all the bots gonna call me you're a problematic 0.82

00:50:26.580 toxic incel you're you're you just hate like why are you just like trying to why are you so misogynist 0.93

00:50:33.540 why are you so misogynist this is the bigger picture dummies stop echoing all the bot behavior 0.99

00:50:40.580 god damn reddit's model of censorship when reddit abandoned free speech to start censoring people who 0.98

00:50:45.620 didn't fit into the mainstream narrative and government propaganda it represented the real 0.97

00:50:49.540 world transition into the control of information the cox behind reddit censorship needs to be called

00:50:54.820 out in the words of aaron schwartz when people put their thumbs on the scale and try to say what you can

00:50:59.380 and can't say we should fight back both politically through protest and technologically through online

00:51:04.900 means so yeah it's true both the government and private companies can censor stuff but private

00:51:11.140 companies are a little bit scarier because they have no constitution to answer to they're not elected

00:51:16.100 really right they don't have constituents or voters all of the protections we've built up to protect

00:51:21.700 against government tyranny don't exist for corporate tyranny in these privately owned spaces that we live in

00:51:28.740 you know i think we first saw this in the 90s with malls right as malls became a cool place for kids

00:51:33.140 to hang out all of these freedoms that we had against the government we lost in the mall because

00:51:38.020 the mall was a private company that could throw people out for saying the wrong thing wearing the

00:51:41.700 you look like zombies walking around the mall have you ever seen that movie from like the 70s the

00:51:45.700 first zombie movie ever made was took place in a mall making fun of consumer shoppers who uh makeup uh

00:51:53.380 gucci uh dior uh you see it man they don't want you to think for yourself and look at ryan the

00:52:02.100 leader in the chat shout out to him that's uh sir spence's friend he's like incel incel that's all 0.98

00:52:22.100 that a lot of people make and that's why they always call me misogynist incel the red pill is

00:52:26.100 realizing what they're doing they're brainwashing you they're trying to separate gender they're 0.94

00:52:30.100 trying to take as much power as possible they want to censor actual information they don't want
