Was the YouTube Shooting about Censorship?

in #youtube7 years ago

What do you think the REAL reason is behind the shooting at YouTube headquarters today? Much has been said as of late about the censorship and YouTube demonetization of content. The shooter had made "rants" towards YouTube in videos where she complained of unfair treatment on her channel. It seems like very odd timing for a shooting like this to happen at a company that many people are currently upset at. What are your thoughts on this?

Interesting news
Is it worth it so much reaction !
There is a limit to everything
Thanks for sharing

What exactly happen is : According to reports the woman shooter shot her boyfriend and repeatedly shoot a woman multiple times as she was on the ground. Looks like a crime of passion from a jealous person not a terrorist incident Shooter also killed herself. This is crazy level shit that's for sure @broncnutz

Initially I thought this was a terrorism incident since early reports said it was a woman with a headscarf. Then when her personal rants against YouTube surfaced it looked like that may have been the motive. Now it has come out that the boyfriend was one of the victims, perhaps it was more of a domestic dispute case (exacerbated by the You Tube dispute, since the boyfriend worked there).

Not sure why there would be other victims in that case, unless she was a bad shot or they were in the way. I would have thought if it was directed against You Tube she would have just continued and also tried to set fire to the place or do more damage.

I guess the full story will come out in due course. I didn't agree with her videos being taken down, her website was also immediately off line. Didn't look like she was doing anything too controversial though she seemed a bit wacky to me, but some people like that sort of thing and she had some 10,000 followers apparently.

That's some crazy shit! I know Youtube has gotten to the point that I have to physically search for my subs at time because of the way they're cracking down on censorship. I would think that this lady was pissed and that's what caused her to shoot up Youtube headquarters. Thankfully nobody was killed. Still not the proper use of a gun and funny to see she was reported as a "white women". Great topic @broncnutz !

I made a blog about it yesterday I think a large part of it is the unfairness of youtube. You make a video, spend a bunch of time of it and bam youtube says no monetization. Then they do that to your whole channel, and you have no appeal, no rights, it's crazy how shitty they treat content creators.

I had a whole collection of Bluegrass Videos I had planned on posting because I thought I could earn a little extra $$$ on the side but now I'm so frustrated by this new policy I don't even know that it'd be worth the time and effort cause I know I'd either never meet the requirements for payout or if I did it'd take years to.

It's always sad when someone is pushed to the point they feel only shooting can solve the problem. YouTube is not worth killing or dying for.

After investigation all truth becomes . So why guess on it .

I'm not a fan of YouTube but I still don't support the shooting.
This will also serve as warning to YouTube as you can't always get away with people's right. People will always fight back

I hope Youtube goes downhill from here. Their selfishness towards the community will be the reason. Their updated conditions for monitization are crap.

Hi Broncnutz,

I would like to address you as you are quite an experienced sports writer.

My name is Andrei, I am a sports journalist and part of Scorum project team. Here at Scorum we are now developing a new sports blogging platform. The core idea of it is that authors will get cryptocurrency for quality posts.

What do you think on this? Would you be interested to write for us?

Here is a post on our platform, where you can learn more on the project: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@scorum.community/attention-sports-writers-join-the-bold-new-sports-media-platform.

It is important for us to create a community of journalists and bloggers in order to make our site as convenient and user-friendly as possible for authors.

If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer) You can contact me at [email protected]

Best regards,

Andrei

Absolutely, I would love to see you on Scorum also @broncnutz! We have not been running in the same circles here on Steemit but I have always admired your work. I have a Scorum account and I'm very excited about getting started over there. I expect my wife, son and DIL to do most of the work on Scorum while I continue what I'm doing on Steemit, but I will be keeping close tabs over on Scorum and expect it to grow rapidly into a huge entity. I hope to see you there, if you have an account look me up when the blogging platform launches, I will be @pete on Skorum. ;)

In my opinion, it is a real big problem and it has to be accepted by everybody. And the setting or youtube can not solve it. The real big tough

Her youtube was shut down today but her website as reported by NY Post online is still up http://nasimesabz.com/Videos.html Really looks like a case of disgruntle crazy. She was a vegan bodybuilder and animal rights activist with lots of gruesome videos on her website showing atrocities against animals.

It doesn't matter how many fake shootings are made up there are still Americans who believe that crap...

Youtube is shit, but I don't see a reason why they won't have right to censor their stuff. I know it is bs if you get demonetized for no apparent reason, but youtube only controls because dummies use it. I'm trying to say that activities by youtube have been unfair, but why the fuck people don't just move elsewere. Youtube & other big companies failed to make Hillary a president and that tells me that this current "western-leftist-tyranny utopy" does not get support.

Tough one to call on the motives. Can only speculate from reading the mainstream media that it was something to do with YouTube's censorship policies. She could targeted her boyfriend as he works for YouTube and he didn't help her out?! Total guess on that one. If she had been reliant on the income from YouTube then this would put her in a tough position. It seems she had built up her website as well as her channels on YouTube, only for it to get dragged under her feet. She felt her next steps were the way it went. We definitely do not condoning her actions at all. Unfortunately, this is the power of social media: its influences and its consequences. Give too much power to the users get incidents like the Facebook Live shooting (a year or two ago) and give too much power to the corporations and end up with what we have now. We'll see how this plays out in the future. Will YouTube act on changing their policies again or just keep everything the same and change their security protocol?

I think YouTube is just total Bs.
I won't be surprised if there are more shootings at their HQ.
They've pissed off a lot of people.
I hope dtube comes to speed, so it can fully replace YouTube.

I don't like youtube or their policies, youtube is a greedy platform. I think dtube is better than youtube but dtube need to more time to perform a good position.

To me, youtube had always been shitty. So i wouldnt be surprised if a lot of people start laying complaints..

Theyve probably had enough of it.
Now would be a good time to promote dtube though... 💃💃💃

Yes may be it is,hahaha great update sir,keep rocking.

Amazing vlog sir love these king of videos you are really a crypto whale.

YouTube has the luck that it is well envolved and for kids (if I look at mine) the platform is real easy to use. a lot of vloggers on it are there for kids. But in the mature big bad world, they are nothing than a bunch of Suckerbergs together trying to rule the world by their rules. And if you don't like them, they silence you.... So for me a no go, hope that dTube wil develop a bit more to be ready for the big hurde...

Hey, mr Og.Another awesome post.Everytime I wait for your posts.Keep it up buddy.

Revenge always come to play when freedom is manipulated. Youtube policies and shooting is just out of it. Arrrggg

youtube polices i don't like -_- Dtube and Dlive is good way to used.

I think thats some crazy S#"$" ... Even if people arnt agree a shooting is just crazy.. Those crazy shooter need to be outta this world.

cheers.

When you try to manipulate freedoms given to us by the constitution.....people will fight back.

that being said for whom is youtube? the people who use it and give it value with their content or the company which makes all the money with it.

Afaik yt never claimed to be for the people and started as a "corrupt" system.

While it is unfair to content creators to change the rules afterwards it is just a big company

Loved the post, thanks, I do YouTube videos and I encounter people trying to false flag my videos just out of sheer jealousy and hatred because my channel does pretty well. It's sad that YouTube allows this to happen.

Youtube is treating like a hard teacher..who only thinks about punishing

Hey dear friend you are amazing with these videos,iam up and running,haha great job.

My first thought is that Dtube and Dlive have to step up their games. Dtube videos disappear two weeks after payout. Not good enough. Dlive videos stay forever though.

I found a site called diytube.video Your videos stay up all the time and it works on cryptocurrency also. It looks interesting.

diytube.video is a scam.

He wants people to buy his special crypto-currency, which he holds 250 million of. They are worthless.

Avoid like the plague.

DIY TUBE VIDEO is a scam and under investigation for criminal activity by the SEC for securities fraud, the FBI for internet fraud, and the IRS for tax fraud and possible money laundering... are you certain you want to get involved with this diyt troy reid guy??? this is not the first time he has been busted for running scams and investigated...

ARE YOU AWARE THAT DIYTUBE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE SEC AND FBI FOR POSSIBLE FRAUD ???????? I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING THAT TROY REID OWNER AND FOUNDER OF @diytube HAS USED AN EXACT COPY OF THE PDF FOR YOUR WHITE PAPERS .......... YOU KNOW THE WHITE PAPERS FOR YOUR BUSINESS ......THE LITTLE RIVER INN AND MOTEL , IN IOWA

@montebeemer has only made one comment in its history and zero blogs. that comment was to promote the fraudulent DIYT scam. it has upvoted only troy reids accounts @thediyworld and @diy-tube-video ... it seems apparent to me that this is another alt account created by troy reid to promote his scams. he has been proven to be @blogger101 @mysthrio @diy-tube-video @thediyworld @trtechtactical @diy-electronics ... just how many accounts does troy reid need to promote his scam diy tube coin and video theft platform???

censorship always ruins the creativity and talent dies in that we need decentralised platforms :)

Hey dear friend you are amazing with these videos,iam up and running,haha great job.

World is a crazy place... Revenge in that sought of way is not an impossibility...

I think it's because of her youtube channel all her rant videos shows her hate towards youtube unmonetizing her account etc and i think she just lost it one day. Very sad that this happened

I think it was a way for them to label people further. That if you complain about your videos being censored you are a crazy like her.

Yes the friend that introduced me to Steemit has a huge Youtube channel and complains about the censorship for sure. My ex runs ours which is based on controversial conferences from the past - I can't wait to see how they do on SteemQ, and to get to post new content after this coming summer's event

youtube policies are shit and i never liked such policies......its better to invest in dtube

I agree but Dtube is not polished enough yet for mass adoption in my opinion.

You are right .....its better to post on both websites and when the people will come to know the gaint potential of dtube we would be then the whales of dtube

Hello mr bronocnutz,another great post.Always wait for your interesting posts.Keep it up.

Beautiful your post

I do not know about shooting. You have the experience in the shooter. I saw some of the last few posts in the post You had also inserted a video.

Like a tall tree must have been hit by a very strong wind. Likewise with YouTube that is very advanced

excellent your post........

Good~~!!BandPhoto_2018_03_30_02_01_58.gif

I love your youtube video....

I think best thing is to shoot

YouTube is a huge company with a really large amount of information
But sometimes they manipulate people's personal information

Unfortunately Youtube gets shittier and shittier with each day that passes.

a nut job..(but very possible)..good post as always..

Ya exactly you are right i too read about this news.
