  • This is the problem with the “we’re not talking about politics in here” approach. A lot of smaller companies, entities, “influencers”… will attempt to become apolitical, a ploy to market to as many people as possible, but it’s ill advised. You have to make your beliefs actually clear from the start. And after a certain size, you must avoid becoming too personal about things. Get a PR specialist if you can, even. It’ll save a lot of headache to kearn you can’t please everybody, and there’ll always be someone dissatisfied with you, so you better choose early who they’ll be.



  • I’ve been to lots of protests, even crossing half my country to go to some (huge country btw), for decades. I just got tired of everybody pretending to be angry and then celebrate pyrrhic victories, if we even managed to get one. I was politically involved and pissed since my early teens, but nothing has ever truly changed due to protests. Only shallow changes, promptly reversed a few months or years later and nobody cared, because nobody was willing to even cause destruction of property at the very least. I got pepper-sprayed too many times to bother with fake outrages. If nobody is going to really care, neither will I.


  • I always tell this to people calling me to go to protests now: “Call me when you guys actually intend to burn shit down and drag some necks into the guillotine. If you’re just gonna pretend to be angry, I’m not interested.” No change will ever come from playing their game, Dr King showed everybody that even if you’re playing with their rules, you’ll still end up with a bullet if you become too big of a threat. The real game is all about violence, one side is more than willing to use it, why aren’t we?


  • It’s not particularly about him, his channel, or his content. If his channel had been declining, that’s usually a downward trend. What happened instead is that LTT lost 50% of their viewers suddenly in the last month. Other YouTubers have also stated that in the last month, out of nowhere, their viewership dropped crazily, up to 60%. However, LTT analyzed that although they have half as many viewers, ‘like ratio’ skyrocketed and ad revenue stayed the same. Josh Strife Hayes made a video blaming YT’s new feature “restricted mode” for this, which, when active, blocks a lot of videos for seemingly no reason. Some others have also noted the problem and are investigating, but a lot of information points out to something youtube did as the cause of the issue.
