This Video Was “Accidentally a Victim of You Tube’s Automated Algorithm”

The video wasn’t left alone by You Tube a-holes until an article written the lefty Matt Taibbi.

NYP-

YouTube cracked down on a video compilation of Democrats and media pundits questioning the legitimacy of former President Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory – then overturned the move amid backlash on Thursday.

“The material in this video does not promote the idea that any election was stolen or illegitimate,” Taibbi wrote. “On the contrary, it shows a great mass of comments from Democratic Partisans and pundits who themselves make that claim about the 2016 election.”

The comments were not censored when they were “made the first time around,” Taibbi added and he noted there were no sanctions against, for example, former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann for claiming “it will not be a peaceful transfer of power” when Trump took office.

A YouTube spokesperson said the decision was overturned after a review, following publication of the Substack article.

“This video was demonetized due to an error in our automated systems,” the spokesperson told The Post. Our systems are not perfect, and we encourage creators to appeal enforcement actions directly in YouTube Studio when they feel we got something wrong. Every appeal helps improve the accuracy of our enforcement over time.”

  1. Funny how those automated systems, that are programmed by leftists to be biased, always seem to make ‘mistakes’ in only one direction.

    When the scales of equal justice are tilted in one direction with government weaponized against political opponents, why would a so-called automated system learn differently?

  2. If you can still get this book by Cass Ingram, “Rigged” (2014), he describes how the voting systems here and in other countries (with some exceptions like, Iran and Switzerland) how the voting systems are rigged and who rigs them.

    I originally downloaded it from his site back then and it may still be available for free.

  3. Mythical reporter: How did this video get demonetized?
    YouTube: Our systems are not perfect.
    Mythical reporter: Why do these imperfections only effect to one side?
    YouTube: Let’s be really clear, that question is just ridiculous.
