What’s your point here? Who are the Nazis and who are the oppressed? Are you suggesting that Brand is somehow being oppressed?

Taking away the livelihood of someone for unproven allegations is not oppression? Do you realize what Youtube is in the year 2023? It's how a lot of self-employed people make their living.

Are you one of those "it's not censorship, just make your own media platform" techbros?

Someone successfully did that! Tons of people that got demonetized on Youtube are doing great on Rumble. Including Russell Brand, as a matter of fact.

He also just got a strong statement of support from the owner of another large monetized video distribution platform (X fka Twitter). So he can always move his show there.

Never heard of Rumble before you mentioned them so I didn't take your answer seriously. I mean, I still don't.

But you'll be glad to know the UK govt is pressuring Rumble to demonetize him: https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/1704808395658727715

Part of the reason why YT is valuable to content creators is because YT fosters good optics.
