It will affect his Linux videos swell so it would have been good there there but most people read phuks/new anyway so its good here as well.
I feel his expectations for mature YT comments is a bit naive.
One part of me thinks he shouldn't shut-down the comments for everyone because some are tards.
But another part of me says YT comment sections are beyond salvage, burn it all.
Some thoughts after watching:
I didn't know he was a jew.
Did Voat find his channel through v/linux?
Free Speech is always tested to the limits when you become the target.
I don't agree with him saying his Youtube Channel his "his place". Moving away from it seems like a good thing for him.
A lot of the hate he seems to be describing doesn't come across as genuine to me. Some of it is obviously, but a lot seems forced or reading off a script.
3 mins into this and I want to say I have noticed the same thing in other places. Some of us came from Voat where you had a big Stormfront Daily Stormer (are they the same thing?) element come in after their site got shut down but I'm not talking about there so much because a lot of the big drivers of that were using multiple accounts.
What I'm wondering is if there is a bigger campaign behind it from some group like Russia or it's just rising awareness and dislike of fat cats in general which is causing people to look for elements within that larger group and they are finding greedy Jewish fat cats like the Rothchilds, Soros, etc and picking up on older established evidence/conspiracies and it's coming from there.
I'll go ahead and watch as much as I can but Brian Lunduke can get a bit whiny at times even with his body language and facial expressions.
if there is a bigger campaign behind it from some group
I started to get this feeling on Voat after a while. I know echo chambers do exist, but the change in tone was so sudden and en masse, with similar account names and language used that I just have to think it was organised. I don't think it is happening anymore, I think someone poisoned the well during the 2016 US election and left behind an echo chamber.
I don't think it is happening anymore
Perhaps not on a massive scale but there are enough people with alt accounts there that it doesn't really matter. When you see a thread and recognize 5 accounts that you know for sure are from the same person and some even arguing with each other and then see how often this happens, then it's time to pack up shop anyway. If it's organized or not it's still not genuine.
Large corporations, the media, and governments shape the window of acceptable conversation. With the internet, it is the first time that regular people can read the true opinions of others from around the world. That it obviously a massive increase in the type of beliefs that you will be exposed to, and ideas that have been silenced in the media will suddenly surface. However, the challenge now is to discern which of these are the opinions of actual users and which are the same massive players masquarading as organic opinion.
Because these two competeting factors produce the same observable events, I don't know the relative importance of each. Russia does have a campaign to cause disruption by undermining the cohesion of western countries (e.g. they fund and create both BLM groups on FB and groups oposing muslims). It's well known that the west has been using these tactics in the Cold War too and continues to do so in the Middle East. Then there is also the absolutely ridiculous treatment Israel gets from the west and free pass for its actions that rightfully deserve criticism along with the disproportionate influence of Jews in media, laws, politics, education, government, banking, and entertainment. So who really knows.

My answer was to wash my hands and move here. It's mildly interesting in it's own right but a massive disappointment on the other hand.
Bryan Lunduke is a Linux guy, so I was going to post this in /s/Linux but the topic isn't really about that.
