This video reveals how YouTube is shadow banning vidos it wants to suppress by not allowing them to show up in their search engine. As you will see, even when the search is filtered according to UPLOAD DATE, an objective criteria, YouTube will often refuse to allow many videos to appear in the search. I provide the very specific example of a video I uploaded on July 11 about Hunter Biden yet when you do a search according to upload date, it DOES NOT APPEAR.
Next week, the Senate Subcommittee on the Constitution, chaired by Senator Ted Cruz, is conducting a hearing on "Google and Censorship through Search Engines." I hope that subcommittee looks into this matter about how YouTube is failing to allow certain videos to appear even when the search is filtered according to what is supposed to be an objective criteria, upload date. This is but one example of shadow banning by YouTube and it is easily verified. In fact, my video about Joe Biden's "overflow" crowd uploaded on July 8 also did not appear on the YouTube search engine filtered by upload date when you enter "Joe Biden" into the search. There are many many other similar examples of this shadow banning via search engine.
BTW, if you know any staffers (or senators) on that subcommittee please pass along this information about how YouTube is blatantly using its search engine to shadow ban videos it wants to suppress.
PING!
I have seen this first hand.
Search an exact title they don’t like and you have to wade through pages of unrelated crap to find it.
Social Media = Anti-Conservative Media
20 years ago there used to be a photo of Jerry Nadler as a puddle in an alley. It used to appear frequently on FR. See if you can find it now. Imagine what kind of power it must take.
There was a wide angle photo taken from the Capitol building on 9/12/2009 at the Tea Party March that has been memory-holed.
Can’t find it anywhere.
Oh, and in case anyone is curious... YUP! YouTube DEMONETIZED this video. Their AI probably saw the taboo words “Shadow Bans” and automatically demonetized to limit availability on YouTube. Oh, they will probably remonetize it later as is usually the case but that is their gimmick to suppress such videos since it won’t be promoted on YT due to that initial demonetization.
Now understand why there are so many negative posts replying to Trump posts and only a few positive.
Three days ago I activated an old twitter account (have never used to post) because I wanted to do some positive posts replying to Trump tweets. Posted mostly replies to Trump tweets, all positive, nothing controversial. The 1st day got many likes and a few replies.
For the last few days nothing? So went did two replies to Trump tweets then went to a different computer where I was not logged onto my twitter account. My posts did not show? They only show on the computer where I am logged into my account, apparently I am the only one that can see them?
Did just get a like but that was to a post I did on James Okeefe's twitter.
The last 6 posts I've done on Trump Tweets are invisible!
LOL!!! For the first time in a long time this video does appear at the top YouTube search filtered by Upload Date. I guess they figured it would be too embarrassing to shadow ban this video via Search Engine since that is the topic of the video. But they did in effect shadow ban it via the usual gimmick of demonetizing it (only to remonetize it later when it achieved the goal of view suppression by not promoting it due to the initial demonetization).
for some reason they keep highlighting videos that I have absolutely no interest in.......usually in days gone by, if you search for glenn miller, you’ll get lots of glenn miller plus lead on to similar artist..now, totally unrelated video promos are showing up....
“Media” control what people can know.
“Search engines” control current media.
Yup! Not surprised at all by your experience. This is why I am looking forward to the Senate hearing next week on this very topic.
There is absolutely no doubt that the search engines manipulate the results. I’d like to see the ceo’s thrown in jail for life.
This is why I call it ThemTube now. They are promoting legacy media at the expense of the YouTube creators that made that site. The YOU in YouTube.
Do you feel that you aren’t getting your money’s worth from YouTube?
Nothing controversial? Are you sure?
Im not a Twit but I do occasionally visit when someone links. Yesterday someone posted something blocked due to controversial (disturbing? meany? what term is it they use?) content. I clicked to view it and it was a man standing in the wind with an American flag. Thats it, thats all he was doing. Very controversial.
I did not respond to these tweets, just did positive tweets supporting Trump.
Example:
"We are so fortunate to have Trump as POTUS. After he leaves the White House in 2024 the US and World will be in much better shape than it was in 2016."
So many negative posts on Trump tweets thought I'd do some positive ones.
Appears twitter is not letting most positive tweets show an an attempt to make it appear Trump does not have much support.
TheirTube, Fakebook and Twit are getting ripped over at https://parler.com.
https://www.chrissalcedo.com/ has left Twit for https://parler.com.
Seems like I heard somthing about The Trump Campaign looking at Parler as well.
Seeing lots of other folks with accounts there.

In your video you chose Upload Date under the Sort By heading, meaning YouTube takes what it considers to be the most relevant videos from whatever time period it chooses and sorts them in the order that you request.
There's a separate heading, Upload Date, where you can choose to actually select only videos uploaded in a given period.
As to why you video didn't show up in the original search, I noticed that all the ones that did had many, many more views than yours so that's probably part of the criteria.
