...And this is why the world need Steem / DTUBE
In Silicon Valley's ongoing crusade to make sure that you only consume mainstream media propaganda, you know because $100,000 worth of Facebook ads crushed Hillary's campaign and changed the course of human history forever, YouTube has joined the likes of Facebook and Twitter in saying that it will promote more "authoritative sources in search results" going forward. All of which, once again, begs the question of who gets to determine who is an "authoritative source?"
As the Wall Street Journal points out today, YouTube searches for "Las Vegas Shooting" earlier this week included a video from "End Times News Report" with the title "Proof Las Vegas Shooting Was a FALSE FLAG Attack - Shooter on 4th Floor." The video, created by Jake Morphonios who posts YouTube videos in his spare time, quickly went viral and amassed over 1.1 million views in just 27 hours...but all that changed when YouTube decided to censor Morphonios' content and replace it with mainstream media videos...you know for your protection.
For example, the fifth result when searching "Las Vegas shooting" on YouTube late Tuesday yielded a video titled "Proof Las Vegas Shooting Was a FALSE FLAG attack—Shooter on 4th Floor."** The video said there were multiple shooters in Sunday's mass shooting, a claim dismissed by law enforcement. Posted by a channel called the End Times News Report, it amassed more than 1.1 million views in about 27 hours.**
The high search ranking of the End Times News Report video claiming there was a second shooter in Las Vegas helped it gain 371,000 views over four hours late Tuesday. On Wednesday, YouTube removed the video.
Jake Morphonios, who runs the End Times News Report along with a damaged-inventory-liquidation business in Kernersville, N.C., said the video eventually reached 2.5 million views. "It was a hot topic, of course, and was going to get some views anyway, but it really did get caught in [YouTube's] algorithm and went viral from there," he said. "Clearly it got into featured videos or something." The 43-year-old said he has posted about 800 videos and typically gets about 5,000 views each.
He said he aims to offer viewers information on news events that mainstream news sources won't. "It's my opinion, it's my analysis, and everyone's got an opinion, and I can understand that maybe they don't want me to be considered the equivalent of The Wall Street Journal or the New York Times or something like that," he said. "But still, I'm not presenting myself as mainstream media. I'm just a guy with a computer offering an opinion. And to be punished for that is, well, it's draconian."
Not surprisingly, YouTube said the the "tweaks" made to their search engines were designed to promote more "authoritative sources," especially when searches are related to "major news events."
In response to criticism on social media of some search results this week, a person familiar with YouTube said the company is accelerating the rollout of planned changes to its search engine. On Wednesday night, the video service began promoting more authoritative sources in search results, especially pertaining to major news events, the person said. YouTube doesn't disclose how it determines which sources are authoritative.
But while YouTube refused to offer any insights into how they plan to decipher "authoritative sources" from "non-authoritative sources", running the same search for "Las Vegas shooting" today, after YouTube's 'tweaks', provides some clues on their methodology...
Conclusion, YouTube's 'tweaks' have turned it into nothing more than a mainstream media echo chamber.

Yeah, YouTube likes to "Tweak" alright. They also like to demonetize. Screw YT, FaceBook, Twitter, and all the rest from the 'Old World.' I'm loving Steemit, and the 'Brave New World!' You can probably tell from my name here that I'm not a big fan of YouTube. Steemit FOREVER! Steemit, and the cryptos are gonna change the world. It's already happening. FREEDOM FOR ALL!
@rip-youtube I am right with you on your thinking. I am SICK of MSM and people that dictate Power over the People. The Current System is not in place for anyone to get the TRUTH................
No sir, the 'truth' is the last thing 'Big Brother' wants known. The government prefers the public to be at just the right stage of ignorant. Many people are finally figuring out they have a brain, and it it's okay to use it, but they're also figuring out that just because something comes from their televisions, it doesn't make it the truth. If you think about, television is mostly actors speaking a pre-written script, and falsely advertised products, why should we believe the 'news' is any different? It's okay for 'Human Interest' stories, and sports scores, but I haven't watched that propaganda in quite a few years.
If you think about, televisions are about the same things as the 'Telescreens' from George Orwell's, "1984" book. The only difference is, 'Big Brother' isn't watching us through our televisions...or isn't he. The cameras in Smart TV's are easily hackable. I can't imagine the CIA, FBI, and/or the NSA not salivating over getting that data. Gotta watch people have 'relations' in the privacy of their own bedrooms in case they start discussing 'Terrorism.'
There's a HUGE interest in keeping the public misinformed, and under control, so they do, lest their crimes be known.
I just went to YouTube and viewed that video by End Times News Report. There is a black flag next to the title, but I was able to view the entire video. I saw other black marks next to titles of some of his other videos. I do not know what these marks mean, but at least I was able to view the video. Maybe YouTube decided to allow re-posting of the video, as demand was so high. I don't know if the marks negatively affect the monetization of the video. Very interesting. I'll upvote and follow you now for pointing out this situation. I posted 2 articles on STEEMIT, with some great info about Las Vegas. You might want to check them out. I think that shooting is a bigger deal than most people realize.
They been doing that for years, there quite a few classic youtube videos that cannot be found anymore...i guess its not authoritative enough...google does the same thing, I cannot find the "Green Book" written by Gaddafi no matter how much search I do on google, this has been since 2012...the select few has been working on the masses for some time
I have youtube account for it has ads also to make me money of my videos that I have uploaded when it becomes viral you make a lot of money of it.
I can't wait for a world where media will be part of the blockchain and decentralised. Not controlled by any lobbies. Find a world with truth will be on the front. And maybe our society will show to our children how to tell the truth again
Everytime something happens, news escalate quickly
Oh man, I don't know what to believe anymore.
I suppose this sort of consensus reality was being manufactured before we had the internet, but it's amazing how blatantly we see "the man behind the curtain" now that there's an alternative.
I hope DTube gains enough traction and become big as youtube. It will be a game changer.
Cant have the sheep straying from the MSM narrative and thinking for themselves
How to get the true story ?
Here is a theory (based on multiple pieces of evidence) for ya...
Based on my own personal research here was in fact a 2nd shooter, and I believe the 2nd shooter was most likely by the AMPM (likely from an elevated point such as the roof) which is located ~300 yard to the north of the stage at the fairgrounds. The reasons for me focusing mainly on this location is due to the fact that it most accurately aligns with other evidence from that days events which I will list below.
"Control 374 I got medics reporting they are being shot at, at the Tropicana"
"Be advised that there is an active shooter at the Tropicana, active shooter Tropicana"
"Control 35-SD we have possible reports of shots fired inside New York New York"
"We're getting a 415A, from the advisor that there was a shooter at the front desk. They have records at the 415A at New York there might of been an active shooter possibly coming down the escalator from New York New York to Excalibur"
"Control 224-IC confirming I have casualties at Ali Baba and Giles east of the Catholic shrine as well as in the Mandalay Bay, so we have 2 scenes"
Basically the AMPM location lines up as the most probable 2nd shooter location during the event due to it being the furthest possible point from the Mandalay Bay within the shooters radius (which matches the audio evidence), allows for an attack from both sides of the fairgrounds (which makes sense if your going to do a 2 shooter event to maximize damage and minimize escape points), allows the 2 shooters to cover the entire fairgrounds with their attacks (shooter 1 covers the Southern half of the fairgrounds from the South while the 2nd shooter covers the Northern half of the fairgrounds from the North), it is one of the only locations possible that would allow for shots to be fired at not only the fairgrounds, but also at the medics near the front of the Tropicana (as reported via police scanner multiple times that night), is also the most probable location for shots to be reported at the Excalibur and New York New York (has line of sight with both, is within reasonable range of both, by far more then any of the other potential locations), and is within the 250 yard range of the Giles/Ali Baba intersection where further casualties are reported (via police scanner).
This is why I love Steemit, the corporate whores can't censor this shit any more...
Well we now know who the second shooter was. and how the shooter was able to get so many rifles into the hotel.
thank you very much for share.
We'll never really know how often they change the manipulation of the search and trending algorithms. I've given up on trying to SEO anything for YouTube anymore. It's useless since I'm a conservative.
Yesterday steem was down due to some reason , hope it will not be repeated again for such a long duration.
Not steem, Steemit.com was down, bookmark a mirror or http://busy.org for when it happen again.

i need an steemit app on my playstore this would help people in a more flexible way and would attract more people towards steemit.....hope this turns true.....
I watched a video on youtube not long after the news broke here, and there was a girl who said clearly: 'We can go now right?' I'd say she was a crisis actor asking a colleague, not aware it was being filmed. Five minutes later the video was removed....That should tell you enough. Thank you for this post, people are waking up and all of a sudden people like you and me don't seem so crazy anymore after all.
There has been an enormous surge of counterintelligence efforts to hide "conspiracy theories" regarding the Las Vegas shooting, much more than we've seen before - and of course there's a good reason for it. If the NSA really was there to prevent these kinds of things, then all of the ones that have happened up until now would simply not have; they are deliberately set up to happen so that they can be used as political weaponry.
However, if we the people were to dig deep enough to unveil the truth of this incident (among others), there would be such a backlash that a revolution would become inevitable, and that is what the rich and powerful fear the very most.
Expect incidents like these to happen again, but keep in mind who benefits from them. Do your research, and share the truth with everyone else - this gets us closer to the freedom we all yearn for and deserve.
