One of the beautiful things about capitalism is that someone will step up to provide (and hopefully profit from) an unmet demand in the marketplace.

Blatant & rampant censorship from YouTube existed because the leadership made the fatal flaw that many once great (now bankrupt)-

firms made in thinking they could do whatever they wanted, despite what the customers think, because they were the only real option (bitchute & censored video are options, but scant user bases show they're not popular ones).

@RubinReport made his own platform after getting sick-

of YouTube demonetizing & censoring videos with no real cause & no outlet to argue/appeal the decision.

YouTube shrugged it off.

But with the announcement of @joerogan leaving the digital book burning platform of uber-authoritarian leanings for @Spotify , will the thousands-

of conservative, moderate & even liberal but not conforming to the Stalinesque views of YouTube censors follow suit?

In a normal world, being a publicly traded company, parent company Alphabet would remove a CEO who's heavy handed policies resulted in the loss of one of the -

companies flagship content providers.

But w/ the nepotism between Google co-founder Brin & YouTube CEO it's doubtful.

Shareholders, on the other hand...if there's a mass exodus of content providers, will YouTube choose to show her the door, or go the way of Blockbuster Video
