Looks like it. Considering that she would have needed to increase her views by 3 orders of magnitude to scratch out $100/month from them. She should have did affiliate marketing & patreon.

> She should have did affiliate marketing This is the modern version of "as seen on TV" ads, I've started unsubscribing to anyone that does it regularly. Advertising intermixed with content is the worst form of advertising.

The only channel I follow that does it regularly is Spectre Sound Studios, and I accept it because the services Glenn pimps are actually really damn good. And he makes it very clear that it's a paid interlude, not part of the actual content.

What a terrible disaster this afternoon. It should never finish like this.

The only thing I hope out of this is that it will maybe relaunch the debates about the megaplatforms and censorship. (Facebook, youtube, Google,...). The bigger they become, the more they will start censoring everything.

More people need to launch the movement to host their videos independentlty. Peertube is a good start for example https://joinpeertube.org/en/home/

Looks like this is the culprit's website http://www.nasimesabz.com/index.html There are links to her (4?) youtube accounts, which have all been terminated. There's a link to her instagram, which has also been terminated, however there is a cached-copy here http://www.pictame.com/tag/yesilnasim

It's a pity that Google terminated those accounts - I don't know what scrutiny scares them. As for the lady, she seems to genuinely believe in veganism and fitness. Whatever weird things she did to propagate that seemed to be working (330K views?!!). Why she resorted to gun violence is much awaited.

If they left it up, it would get millions of hits due to the media coverage and associated buzz. They can't let her create a precedent where "1. Film an angry rant, 2. Shoot up YouTube HQ" is seen as a guaranteed way to reach large numbers of people with your message.

Here's her last video. One youtube doesn't want you to see evidently, https://www.freedomsafespace.com/m/videos/view/YouTube-Shoot... She seems really upset.

"people like nicki minaj, miley, many others who have sensual things so inappropriate for children to watch, don't get age restricted. But videos, my workout videos, get age restricted."

Very valid points. Has coherent thoughts, and from her videos doesn't appear to be mentally crazy.

I have never met her but my guess is that she is orthorexic with a narcissism disorder and few friends. Maybe many thousands of 'Facebook friends' which is no replacement for family and a small handful of real friends. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthorexia_nervosa 'Orthorexia' masquerades as veganism but is not the same thing.

Dude, she is very obviously schizophrenic. This is as schizophrenic as any human gets. She’s on the level of Wesley Willis of Crazy Gail.

So looking at her videos on Telegram ( https://t.me/nasimesabz1 ), she was anti gun. She was a very weird individual with clear mental health issues. I don't even know what to make of most of her content on that channel.

Can you expand on that? Did she make irrational comments, accuse people of impossible acts, was she threatening? I looked at the 1.5 minute video someone copied out and she was upset but not frothing at the mouth.

You don't have to be "frothing at the mouth" to be mentally unstable. I saw her videos on Dailymotion and I had the impression that something is not right with her, can't really pinpoint or explain what it is. but definitely very awkward in front of the camera. Just my personal take on it.

People think that suppressing "hate" and "offensive" speech will only suppress speech other than theirs.

Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with blood of tyrants. Sorry you can't see yourself as such.

I don't think random people working at Youtube are tyrants.

They're clearly not.

At the same time, they may be propping up a tyrannical system. "Just following orders" is not a solid argument for your morality.

It's clearly a complicated mess. My personal hope is that we eventually learn the lesson that sufficiently influential social networks need to be subject to democratic oversight and a transparent judicial system. That will likely make them more expensive to run, but that's a price we have to pay for three sanity of our society.

I have to really wonder if YouTube is actually anti-vegan or if she was filtered for something else.

I watch a vegan channel that Youtube recommended to me quite often, and Im not even vegan. Based on her page, showing dogs being boiled alive, I think vegan isnt perhaps the best description for that content. A vegan channel is someone showing how to make salads.
