As I wrote recently, the woke media are playing a long game. They know they’re losing audiences and money – and they don’t care because they’ve always got more money. And they’re more than willing to keep losing it so long as they’re “on the right side of history”. The whole point of the Long March through the institutions is to capture the dominant institutions of capitalist democracy and remake them in the leftists’ image.
If that means losing money, they’re quite prepared to do it. They got plenty, after all.
Silicon Valley has even more money and they’re prepared to do Whatever It Takes to win the war for the soul of Western civilisation. Even if it means sacrificing some of their biggest stars.
Felix Kjellberg is a YouTuber known to millions as PewDiePie. In the world of social media, Pewds is one of the biggest names. His audience of primarily young Americans brings in hundreds of millions of views – and thus massive amounts of revenue – to YouTube.
That doesn’t mean that YouTube won’t throw him under the bus in the interests of leftist politics.
Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg appears to have been shadowbanned on YouTube as his videos no longer appear in search and his fans are no longer receiving notifications[…]
Fans were surprised when they didn’t receive a notification for his latest video entitled “97% of people cant tell what this is”.
Usually when PewDiePie uploads a video it hits half a million views within hours but his last video is barely at 200,000 views after 5. He took to the community section of his page to ask his fans if they noticed anything wrong.
“Yo, for some reason my videos aren’t showing up in subbox since yesterday so posting here,” the 30-year-old content creator said.
Fans later confirmed that they did not receive a notification for his latest video, and Daniel “Keemstar” Keem did a little more investigating and discovered that the search term “PewDiePie” did not yield any of latest videos.
Why would YouTube effectively silence one of their biggest stars?
PewDiePie has been regularly streaming Among Us with Pokimane and friends but decided to not to participate in the stream with two U.S. congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Ilhan Omar.
Many believe he might be shadowbanned for turning down the offer because social media has censoring [sic] popular conservative voices recently.
Kjellberg is generally apolitical. Most of his videos are harmless stuff like game play-throughs, his famous “Meme Review”, and whisky tastings. But he has occasionally courted controversy, such as when he dropped the word “nigger” during a gameplay. He also invited Ben Shapiro to be a Meme Review guest reviewer, with hilarious results.
However, Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg is not overtly political and there is no proof that he turned down the AOC livestream for political reasons. The livestream happened on Twitch and PewDiePie streams exclusively on YouTube.
The most likely bet, though, is that this might have something to do with his critique of China. PewDiePie was shadow[banned] shortly after he criticised the Chinese Communist Party; now all his content has been scrubbed from Reddit and YouTube in China.
Other’s speculate that this is merely a technical issues and the timing is just a coincidence.
Sure. This is just another one of those “mistakes” that, weirdly enough, just seem to always affect people the left don’t approve of.
