Title: There's a N##### in the Moon (1897) by John W. Dick arr. by Emil Biermann
I tried linking this earlier today but it got auto-modded due to the title. Incredible, therefore, that at 243k views (as of now) this song/interpretation of a reportedly never-recorded-before vintage American song from the late 1800s (actually not really offensive or hateful despite the title that I had to censor here; it's fun and whimsical) is still up on Youtube.
The one singing is a talented pianist and composer who's also uploaded other interesting videos in the past. Of course he's demonetized but he doesn't seem to care that much.
Apparently users are getting this video in their algorithmic recommendations on Youtube. A sign of changing times?
The pianist goes by the pseudonym Foundring.
He's apparently been J-pilled forever. He also did a lot of COVID parody content.
IIRC, he lost his job working with youth choirs because of his political views.
He DOES actually care about his demonetization though. His last post I recall prior to this a few months back was him having a crashout/ragequitting that the RW doesn't support their artists like the left does.
He does have a passion for the ragtime piano niche. He has been going back & re-recording sheet music of the era that hasn't been played/heard for a couple of centuries.
I found he has an X account where he posts updates and ramblings: https://x.com/foundring1
Not unexpected that he'd lose jobs by posting these songs online with his face and voice and his political views, although I don't know how viable it is to get monetized by the video hosting platforms with this kind of content.
Hes got an account here and has posted a bit over on c/conspiracies :

ragtime is only abut 150 years old
nigger
speak freely my friend
I'm pretty sure you can say the word "nigger," but given this would be your first post, it's auto blocked by the community filter and has to be manually approved. I could be wrong though.
My user account is as old as this website; I figured it could have been due to the contents of the post. Admittedly, I haven't posted a lot over the years, but the song was so fun, and the singer so talented (as well as brave) that I had to share it here.
Just double checked, there's no keyword filter on posts. For comments we've dropped the karma requirements to not get filtered down drastically from DoM's tenure as a trial run. But for top level posts I haven't touched the upvotes required to post new topics without manual approval, which was almost comically high. Hopefully we'll revisit that if the comment trial goes well, but for now it doesn't actually filter very many topics, it just requires one us lazy jannies to be paying attention. Sorry yours was waiting so long.
Whatever you do, don't click on a video with Asmongold in it. It's like the big red button that makes YT flood your recommendations and landing page with his videos. And you have to either reset your history or click through several dozen unrelated videos you don't want to watch just to get the flood down to a trickle.
As far as I can tell it's still the same old leftist propaganda in recommendations.
For example, you can watch a music video and all recommendations are music videos ... except for a few completely off-topic far-left propaganda videos from the likes of MeidasTouch or Jimmy Kimmel that get springkled in. Or you can watch DIY videos and all recommendations are on topic ... except those same leftist propaganda recommendations.
I don't use a Youtube account or watch those leftists, so that's the default that gets pushed by Youtube.
...every once in a while, the old wurm that is the internet peeks its head out and winks at those who still remember... this being reccommended by the youtube algorhithym is one such case...
Yeah i got it too.
Pretty much can assume Google is doing everything for some nefarious reason.
Here's one: they can pollute other company's AIs that scrape youtube with stuff that Google had been censoring and are censoring from their own AI. If they relax the censor then other AIs start knowing all about niggers in the moon and whatnot and the other companies have to put some effort into making them work/family safe.
