Vice News: YouTube's Bungled Crowder Crackdown Made Him Stronger

"A week after Steven Crowder’s bullying of a Vox journalist pitted conservative media against Big Tech, it’s official: Crowder has won."

That was the very sad news that left-leaning Vice News relayed to its "progressive" readers on Tuesday. The YouTube censorship crackdown on Steven Crowder's Louder With Crowder channel completely backfired.

Rather than hurting him via demonetization even though they admitted he violated no YouTube policy, the conclusion of the news site that's having its HBO show cancelled was that it has only made him stronger.

BOOMERANG!!!

The lesson that they will learn is to focus on conservatives with less influence, who are easier to pick on without consequence. They’ll deal with the Crowders of world once they cease power.

one of my favorite crowder videos, which echos an old cartoon about how bills in congress are made:

The Streisand effect.

[zaxtres]

No, he meant “Ceasar” because Ceasar always has power in Rome. And you know the saying...when in Rome,... /s

[Blennos]

Indeed. I joined his Mug Club to support him.

[arthurus]

Once they seize power. I would hope they do cease the power they have but it is not likely.

If you rely on VICE for your news, you are pretty much a loser out of the gate no?

Sleep deprivation does strange things. I think I should seize posting for a while ;)

Let us hope it results in Youtube control of public speech getting destroyed. This company needs to have the sh*t beaten out of it for it's arrogance.

We need to force all large communications companies into the classification of "Utilities."

[jurroppi1]

That was great.

[mumblypeg]

More accurately, the kerfuffle focused attention on.. the kerfuffle, making it clear Crowder wasn’t bullying anybody.

He was just “dialoguing in kind,” as it were — picking up grenades & tossing ‘em back.
And winning.
The left hates that.

They’re either utilities (no censorship), or they’re publishers — and, hence open to libel suits for what they publish. AFAIK.

[RandallFlagg]

Yeah. I wish he was still here.

I've heard this several times, but i'm still waiting to see some enforcement or prosecution. They keep getting away with it.
