I'm sorry that she shot the wrong people, but despite absolutely not condoning resorting to violence, I can't say I'd feel bad had she shot the person that took away her livelihood.
Maybe it’s time to ditch this place as well.
Firstly, my sympathies with the people at Youtube HQ. I have many, many friends in the bay area and so this kind of thing hits close to home. Secondly, I struggle when thinking about if we should give airtime to a shooter's grievances, or reasons. Or even mention who they are. I tend to be on the side of: don't give them any air time. And certainly, don't acquiesce to this type of behavior because it is almost by def…
I think in this case she represents a significant number of YouTubers, and is like an extreme version of discontent that is happening. Imagine a hive of bees growing until they start getting annoying and one of them stings you; by removing one you don't solve anything, you need to do something with the whole hive. So you can remove any traces of her from the Internet so that nobody knows about her motives, but all it does it to let discontent bubble and then erupt in unexpected ways, instead of doing some needed correction.

There are correct ways to start a discourse around censorship. Shooting people is not one of them.
Seems like a great way to start a discourse.
That has some rather frightening implications for society.

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.
She's a disgruntled Youtuber. This is her website: http://nasimabc.com/ From her page showing a screenshot of her Youtube ad revenue dashboard: > Analytics Last 28 days > Views 366,591 > Revenue $0.10 Highlighted in Red: Revenue $0.10? There's also another bit where she shows her historical vs. current traffic and makes a reasonable case that she's getting down ranked. Interesting times.

That’s a style of web design I’ve seen before - lots of colors, different font sizes, wall of text rants... something about it screams mental instability. See Time Cube for an extreme example.
Basically, but this logic, any visual subculture is mentally instable. Anime, gothic, punk, hardcore, etc. In retrospect, you can say it screams mental instability but that's called confirmation bias.
See timecube and "blacks for trump" as a reference.
Where on earth did that bad information come from yesterday?

This passes for discourse on HN nowadays? Maybe it’s time to ditch this place as well.
But it does show the impact that YouTubes rules can have on someone's livelihood. For us such a change in the algorithm is something we read about and forget. For someone else they might lose their income.
For this one person resorting to violence, there are probably thousands that were financially destroyed by Youtubes rigorous change in algorithm and demonetization.

No one should or does approve this kind of violence. Or any violence really. But it does show the impact that YouTubes rules can have on someone's livelihood.

The problem isn't censorship. The problem is that the US is far more violent than other developed nations, and there is easy access to deadly weapons for anyone who wants one.
