YouTube is acting like those resurfaced videos weren’t on THEIR PLATFORM years ago. Shane’s content is NOTHING like those old videos now. It makes zero sense to de-monetize him now.  All of this End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3ARS 4,132 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Good. Shane's "apologizes" are hollow. It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences. - Audre Lorde Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyanLights 15,258 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I have to admit, I'm surprised Youtube went this far (as they should have). Good for you, Susan. Its obviously no where near enough but its a decent start considering YouTube never does anything in these situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 96,098 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 And just so no one DARE COME FOR ME: I am NOT saying Shane doesn’t deserve consequences. The public is already doing that. He has lost 500k active subscribers in the last few days. BUT these are OLD VIDEOS that were WATCHED AND KNOWN and he HID them YEARS AGO. Were they bad? YES. Is his past coming back to haunt him? YES. But acting like Shane’s CURRENT content and current actions are the same as these old videos is RIDICULOUS. I am saying this as someone who has watched Shane since 2008. I STOPPED watching him because I realized it wasn’t for me and that some of his content was wrong. I didn’t know better when I was 13-14. But he has rebranded TWICE after that. These are the FACTS. Y’all can drag me but this is all verifiable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGa 14,348 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Youtube kowtows to angry tweeters and punishes someone who didn't break the rules of their own platform Such a shallow PR move. If Youtube actually gave a sh*t about what people are angry about (and weren't just trying to look good and shut ppl up) they would actually do something about the problematic content that gets uploaded on the daily and invest in real human moderation, rather than pretending to care about 10 year old videos that THEY allowed for years. God created Adam and Eve, but Gọdga collabed with Brian🎺 and Steve🎷 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCD 402 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 He should be moving a platform this retro-active 'punishment' is embarrassing, and against freedom of speech in a lot of countries. Not sayin they shouldn't do something, but shame on them. There are tons of other ways they could act like removing his old problematic material for an example. This is a joke, and it just gonna make influences the same pale boring YouTube sponsored content promoters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
