> I've actually contacted them via email multiple times, and they never respond.

> They are absolutely not commiting fraud - that is a total lie.

Lie isn't the word you're looking for when you disagree with someone.

If they never respond they aren't engaging with the OP to figure out what this person want's. If the OP even contested the charges AWS has been warned that someone isn't happy with the contract. Both by personal email and by the credit card company.

He's not helping her family because she was trans, hes helping because they had a human connection.

This, this is what I don't agree, the myopic idea where people deserve help or spite depending on some tribal characteristic.

Yes, we shouldn't allow people to have the wrong opinions.

If these people use Dave as the beacon for anti-trans opinions, the person who created a trust fund for the daughter of trans person who killed herself, maybe they aren't that good at anti-trans, just saying.

> Even the "canceled" comedians seem to be doing just fine.

I feel this is a gross generalization, are we talking about CK Lewis or Daphne? What's the line for doing fine, losing a year of gigs, working in another area, not dead, not in a mental institution?

This "cancel" culture is unproductive and pitting people against people for misunderstandings that wouldn't hold water in real life.

> violent insurrection against democratic government

Is right leaning content for insurrection? Sorry I've missed that train. The "right/libertarian" I see censored is much tamer than that, Joe Rogan, Sargon of Akkad, Viva Frey, Academic Agent, Thunderf00t, 1791.

> but a lot of true crime and history channels

Thanks this was what I was looking for.

> This might be right, it might be wrong, but it isn't censorship.

This is to respond that youtube can monetize or demonetize as it pleases. Since it contradicts itself by demonetize for you and not for them.

> actual bias from which side complains more.

It's complains sometimes side vs never complained side, in my pool of channels.

That's a good point, I don't follow specifically vegan groups. Usually more on the left / right part of the spectrum.

They are part of the public domain, but there is no oversight to their power and little public recourse.

Can you point me out to those non-conservatives, I would like to compare them with the ones I've seen demonetized on the right.

Well that's what you say but that's not true, to be marked as domonetisatised also lowers your view counts since the video stops showing up, it also might not show for subscribers. Youtube is also able to monetize your video, but since people have reported seeing adds on demonetized videos, you just don't get the money.

> That's unlikely due to a anti-conservative bias though.

Can you point me out to left leaning content that gets demonetized constantly so I could compare with the right leaning one. I've not seen this happen in people I've subscribed and would like to see if this claim has any merit.

All the "conservatives/libertarians" I've followed on youtube have been both demonetized and had videos suspended. It's a small sample size but all?!, what a coincidence. From the "left leaning" channels I follow I've not seen the same complain.

I don't follow anyone on facebook or twitter I can't vouch for those, maybe it's just youtube who does all the censoring.

If there are collective hallucinations then some of these article theories don't work. How can there be a personal entity and a shared one.

In lucid dreams entities can solve math problems to a certain degree. Does it mean that the lucid dream ones are real then?
