> I don't have a link, but you can trust me when I can say that I've had discussion with white-nationalists on Youtube.
As usual, when challenged to back up the claim that YouTube hosts white nationalism and child pornographers the commenter fails to do so.
At best you managed to show that some videos of kids had creepy comments, which YouTube promptly banned after it was brought to light. I recall this phenomenon, and YouTube's response was swift and decisive. So much so that many creators actually complained that YouTube was being too aggressive.
> How do you solve the problem of white-nationalists recruiting on this webpage? Well, you ban hate-speech.
> The problem is that White-Nationalists can simply... go to Facebook... or Youtube... as recruitment grounds. The big websites aren't cooperating yet. This needs to be a systemic top-down effort, unified across the major websites.
Sure sounds like you're saying YouTube and Facebook host white nationalist content to me. Saying that YouTube and Facebook are lax in kicking off white nationalists is still saying that they let white nationalists on their site.
It's only after I challenged you to back up this claim that you pivoted to talking about comments.
> Sure sounds like you're saying YouTube and Facebook host white nationalist content to me.
That's not my intent. You can take at my word, or leave it. Your choice. There's plenty of other issues we can talk about without getting wrapped up about this particular point.
Youtube _comments_ are poorly moderated. Do you agree or disagree?
Play around on that side of Youtube long enough, and the white-nationalists eventually show up. Last time I went down hunting for white-nationalists, they were somewhere around that area.
Yeah, I'm finding more and more stuff the more I look. As I stated before: the more you fill you search history with this stuff, the easier it gets to find.
"Normal" people aren't able to enter the black hole, because after seeing one video, they click on something else. Conspiracy-nuts continue to click into the hole, filling up their history and getting drawn in more and more. Its just how Youtube's algorithms work. The more you click on these things, the more Youtube serves you this kind of content.
That's enough conspiracy / white national hunting for me though. I think I've proven my point now and don't feel like dirtying my history anymore.
> It's funny how these basic nationalist thoughts are now "far right-wing" In the past these were beliefs that most of the population understood. You dont let your own nation be ethnically and culturally replaced by outsiders.
> I love how Jewtube welds the Wikipedia article to the Great Replacement and tries to dismiss it as a "nationalist right wing conspiracy theory".
> Europe taxes it’s citizens to import Africa
Whilst Africa kicks out europeans
Found em. Took about 10 minutes but I'm pretty sure I found what you were looking for. Do you believe me now?
So now I've shown you what's out there. Now I ask you again: what should we do about this? Should we just... let these people continue to collaborate on their mission of hate on Youtube? Or should we like, do something about it before they decide to shoot someone else (El Paso / Christchurch)

Ban them and they will likely become even more extreme, and more violent. Again, you keep assuming that more censorship will make these people less extreme... which is pretty foolish when being subject to censorship is a big reason why they ended up in white nationalist circles in the first place. Do you think that if that commenter talking about "Jewtube" will become less extreme if her or she gets banned? Heck no, they're going to think "oh shit, the conspiracy to silence us is real!"
Ultimately, that is YouTube's decision. Personally I'd ban the comments despite knowing that it will make the situation even worse, because I would want to make as much money as possible and these comments make it harder to sell ads.
So the answer is yes, I'd ban them for my own greed. Not because I think banning them reduces white nationalism - quite the opposite I think it strengthens it - but because it's financially optimal.
Alas, this very discussion we're having only shows how suboptimal your strategy is.
After... what is this, 60 posts in this sub-thread? Neither you nor I are anywhere close to budging on the issue. Discussion is useful for discovering the point-of-views of other people, but it doesn't actually change opinions.
Proof of the pudding: I couldn't convince YOU of anything. And you have similarly failed to convince me of anything.

And after this full discussion, I think I can firmly conclude that you and I are both rational people. You just don't necessarily see things from my perspective. That's fine.
But it really just goes to show how hard it is to do things "your" way, to convince people one-at-a-time to hold a different point of view. After all, if you've failed to convince me to change my opinion, I don't believe you'd be able to convince the "Great Replacement" nuts to change their opinion.
