This is how they do the slow creep on the sanitisation of normie net and it's all for the sake of appeasing advertisers. Any moderation move or policy change almost certainly revolves around ad money regardless of what they claim.

The woke bullshit as well I think is very much a calculated move by the corporations as we've seen because it gives them an excuse to clamp down on the userbase while getting positive PR in the press. Being that out of touch though they don't realise how even the normies are going to be turned against them.

What will finally end this nonsense is when they eventually give up on having a userbase altogether. As long as they get their traffic to justify their ad money, they don't care. If you think this is bad I keep predicting that we will eventually see normie net so sanitised that anybody with a slight opinion is going to get booted out if they aren't doing constant product placement and don't have the phone numbers of executives.

This isn't because of any actual policy violation, they want to make the sites as ad friendly as possible and as others have pointed out this is already happening to a degree as we will start seeing extremely stage managed 'youtubers and streamers' popping out of nowhere and going viral not because they're actually any good but because they have corporate approval and will be quietly boosted on the trending pages. It's why they're even targeting usually very uncontroversial content now like that history youtuber that dared to debunk the SJW narrative on cleopatra.

People need to wake the fuck up that any bans now are nothing to do with following the rules, they want traffic and ad money and don't want users. Too many midwits don't understand this about how the corporate back end of big tech works. I think when it finally happens will be towards 2024 and they will be pulling out all of the stops to help Biden win if he really does run and doesn't get ousted somehow by his own party.

In gaming terms it's like with fucking IGN and Gamespot where they still will put at least a 6 on anything that pays them ad money and praise it, useless people but that's how tech sites roll these days.
