Hi #MediaStudies twitter!

Here's a great video to teach US undergrads about #GlobalMediaStudies & #DigitalMediaLiteracies, esp:
-- neocolonialism & postcolonial critique
-- platform moderation & algorithmic cultures
-- participatory cultures & fan labor!

This 🧵 is based on a convo w/ @arbitist

In the video, food YouTuber @SonnySided explains how:

--his recent episodes showing contextualized food & lifeways in Africa & the Caribbean have been repeatedly flagged & demonetized b/c of their "shocking" & "graphic" content.
--His small company tries to re-edit the videos at a cost to their time, artistic vision, & educational quality to escape demonetization, but there is no clear guidance on how to appease YouTube.

They're on their 4th attempt to edit a video filmed in Zimbabwe.
