WHAT YOU SEE
WHAT I SEE
To makes sure this was real, I took the screenshots eight hours after I knew the shadow ban happened. One is from Germany and the other is from my own computer. I like a dark theme.
I am pretty much shadow banned everywhere I go. Content seems irrelevant now. Yesterday I checked a comment and found another ban. I only checked because I know I am a target. There was absolutely nothing in the comment to warrant a ban. I can't even remember what the comment was. It could have just as well been about basket weaving. The algorithms are here.
If I am this fucking special I should get paid. How about $100 for every post deleted. So far the Diner is owed about $800. That's right Mr. Federal Government, I want a hundred bucks for every fucking post you deleted. Such an agreement will make what you did legal. Until we get paid what you did is theft. RE, VEG and I expect to be paid. Thirty days should be enough time to send me a check.
And making people follow me around town again is only going to PISS ME OFF. But not in the way you wish. I'll just get stronger.

And I can re-post what was deleted from the Thom Harman's show emails.

It disappointing that you have let extreme ideologues do moderation in your tube chat.
Some months ago I used the word 'Nazi' in a comment and was told never to use that word or I would be banned. And I am. Watching your feed I heard you use the word three times in 15 seconds.
Most people never know they are shadow-banned, but I do. I have to check frequently if my own website has been - 'modified'. It has happened.

To be clear. I can leave a comment in your you-tube feed. I can see the comment but if I go to a remote connection I am banned because my comment is not there.
You are responsible for this. Shadow-banning goes beyond simply not letting someone comment. Your deception is despicable.
How this started.
My use of the term Nazi was in regard to you and your feelings abut Trump. It was not an insult. It was only an expression that you have extreme feelings about the man. So do I.
Where I was going with it was there is a danger of not seeing the forest through the trees. Unlike you, I see both American political parties as corrupt. You seem to think the Democratic Party is a shining light on a hill. When it comes to the Democratic Party you are a Nazi in my opinion with blind faith in your cause. I see the Democratic party as the other side of the capitalist duopoly coin. We can agree to disagree.

QuoteHello
We do not actively monitor comments on YouTube. No comments have been removed by us. If you can see them In one place but not another, then that suggests that it is YouTube that is managing what you see. We have no control over what YouTube do.
Best wishes.
