Episode Details

My “NBA GOT WOKE” video earned me a second strike on YouTube.

The crime? Violating YouTube’s Spam, Deceptive Practices and Scam policy.

The punishment? No uploading to YouTube for two weeks. And of course, three strikes and your channel is terminated.

So because I’ve said “WTF is spammy about my videos?” about a hundred times, I went to go look at said policy to see how my videos are violating YouTube’s policy. The points below, plus a load of stuff on elections and censuses, is what I found:

Video Spam: Content that is excessively posted, repetitive, or untargeted and does one or more of the following:

·         Promises viewers they’ll see something but instead directs them off site.

·         Gets clicks, views, or traffic off YouTube by promising viewers that they’ll make money fast.

·         Sends audiences to sites that spread malware, try to gather personal information, or other sites that have a negative impact.

Misleading Metadata or Thumbnails: Using the title, thumbnails, description, or tags to trick users into believing the content is something it is not.

Manipulated Media: Content that has been technically manipulated or doctored in a way that misleads users (beyond clips taken out of context) and may pose a serious risk of egregious harm.

Scams: Content offering cash gifts, “get rich quick” schemes, or pyramid schemes (sending money without a tangible product in a pyramid structure).

WTAF??!?

Grasping at straws much?

Let’s, for a millisecond, pretend that YouTube, Facebook, Google and the rest don’t have an ulterior agenda in “fighting misinformation amid the Covid-19 pandemic”.

The multi-million-dollar question remains: Who checks the fact checkers?

In today’s Lucy and Jeff Show, I raise a few controversial points (as always) and point out a variety of sheeple absurdity (again). Watch the video to see why YouTube deleted this video off our Lucy and Jeff channel less than an hour after it was posted, merely for reporting what the WHO said!

Watch on: Bitchute | LBRY | Dtube

It is actually one of the best examples of deceptive fact checking practices:

WHO (Accidentally) Confirms Covid Is No More Dangerous Than Flu…

Can this statement be considered to be true? Yes.

Can this statement be considered to be false? Sure.

But which is it?

Fact-checkers have no consistency about the question and standard applied. Which approach they take seems to be dictated by their initial perception of whether something seems to be suspect (to them). The psychology behind this flaw in fact-checking centers on confirmation bias, or the tendency to seek and accept only the evidence that confirms their first inclination.
