YouTube’s new censorship tactic is to limit streams that are too popular

Before people start making conspiracies theories, I want to mention a reasonable explanation that answers the following question: how could it be in Youtube’s financial interest to block views from small channels that go viral?<p>I think the answer must be related to an effort to reduce the amount of unauthorized copyrighted material or fraud on the platform. Currently the majority of such material&#x2F;fraud on youtube is uploaded by small channels who can create another channel as necessary. Throttling small accounts is one possible way to combat this.

This only applies to new live streams, likely due to moderation and copyright concerns! Many platforms will have systems like this to prevent spam.

This is like an indiscriminate low pass filter, how does this make any sense whatsoever ?

This website reads like its affiliated with InfoWars.

There&#x27;s always a &quot;reason&quot; why an evil decree is actually quite logical and palatable - just look at Whoopie Goldberg&#x27;s latest scandal. But that doesn&#x27;t stop it from being evil. This is an outright attempt to close the net. An open web means that anyone can say anything, and that concept horrifies and terrifies FAANG. They want a total monopoly on thought, and any &quot;excuse&quot; they give for closing the web is just that - an excuse.

They don&#x27;t want anything against the establishment to go viral.<p>Web3 fixes this shit.
