As more and more conservative youtube personalities get demonetized for being “too controversial” when questioning leftist ideology. It becomes much easier to see how it could be perceived as their being a substantial bias against conservative personalities on the site.

The parent company of Youtube; Google isn’t unfamiliar with allegations accusing the company of shunning conservative thought. After all there’s a class-action lawsuit stemming from the James Damore controversy. In which google fired a engineer for a memo stating google was pushing gender diversity in the work place along with many other reasonable criticisms. This diversity push was being accomplished in part through using illegal hiring practises to promote the hiring of women and people of non-white skin colours. This shows us how Google has a history of promoting extreme leftist ideas and makes it more likely to believe youtube is continuing to push the beliefs of their parent company. All while attempting to silence conservative thought.

A major example of bias on behalf of Youtube regards to Jordan Peterson (University of Toronto Professor of psychology) who questions leftist ideas. If Jordan Peterson is a Guest on a Youtube video; the video has a higher likelihood of being demonized according Joe Rogan. Joe realized this link after bringing Peterson on his podcast multiple times and the video’s would almost inevitably demonetized. Another instance of Youtube demonetizing creators is Dave Rubin who said “I see virtually no diversity in thought or tolerance of other opinions on the left today” was then demonized by youtube in the following months. The list goes on and on of creators who have been demonetized after expressing beliefs and reasonable thoughts that go against the leftist views of Youtube.

So it seems Youtube trying to silence conservative ideas. But at the end of the day Youtube has the right to demonetize anything and anyone because it’s on Youtube a site that they own. It may not be morale right but until there is a way to force Youtube and Google into conforming to a un-bias beliefs system. Youtube creators and users will have to deal with the result.
