I know none of this is surprising given the state of the English-speaking side of the web.

I’ve been censored heavily on YouTube. I am a dork and thus I liked radicalizing people in comment sections. Some things aren’t surprising, I think the most egregious censorship was of course the kickstart of the Ukraine conflict, and of course when I was younger and shittier I would get censored when I lost patience and wrote particularly nasty things towards people.
However, slowly over the last 6-18 months I’ve noticed that I seem to be having comments censored even just mentioning buzzwords like: Marxism-Leninism, capitalism, fascism, pragmatism, the AES did XYZ good thing, the G7 did ZXY bad thing, etc. Anytime I feel like I write something that particularly hits home I feel like it gets knocked down. It’s gotten to the point where the schizo-something in me comes out with glee as I st4r✝️ typ1ng l1k3 th1$ 2 d1sgv1z3 nny vv0rdz (mild exaggeration), knowing that if I don’t cleverly censor shit (and probably just get flagged as a bot anyways lmao) that it’ll get flagged and it’ll be flakked down.
But of course it must be targeted. I see plenty of half-baked Western leftists using 90% of all the same words all the time. I think when I started saying deep cut CIA shit like “Compatible Left” or strategic shit like “radicalization funnel” or secret war shit like [insert every CIA operation]. I think I got “he’s a bad 'un” labeled on me and now it just auto-erases everything I say that isn’t completely and utterly banal.
Anyways, I’m stoned and drunk, thanks for listening to my rant, I’m here all week. ✨️HE’S A PROFESSIONAL✨️
What is ya’all’s experience?
Back when I didn’t realize western MSM were just propaganda 24/7 I saw some blaten bs about China on YouTube, called out on it, wrote like 2 paragraphs explaining why it’s bs, and YouTube just ate the comment.
Yeah, I’ve wrote out some damn essays that got Zucked lol.
