On December 23rd, over NINE crypto content creators have had videos removed and a strike placed on their channel for “Harmful or Dangerous Content”.

In one instance, Chris Dunn a creator with over 200,000 subscribers,

over 7 Million views and 10 years making videos just had over TWO YEARS worth of videos deleted from his channel.





To platforms like Youtube, we are simply disposable commodities.



It doesn’t stop with Youtube.

Crypto content creator Omar Bham, just over one year ago, had an entire crypto group of 100,000 members deleted. If that wasn’t enough, they also deleted his account and the accounts of over 15 fellow moderators of that group as well.



This isn't an isolated incident either.

Less than one month ago MY account was also deactivated with no reason, alongside another crypto content creator Allesandro Benigni.



We trust Facebook with our photos, storing connections to longstanding friendships, our professional networks, and a timeline of our digital lives. Facebook in turn deletes accounts and communities at the blink of an eye, with absolutely no regard.

Facebook cares about profits, not us.

& Youtube’s motto of “do no evil” is now simply a sad ironic joke.



On a larger scale, this isn’t a war on Youtube or Facebook.

This is a war on centralization.



When we trust in centralized entities with our data, our content and our information, we become vulnerable.

We trusted because we had no other alternatives, and time after time, they continuously all break our trust even deeper.



We have had enough.



Already, when the Cambridge Analytica scandal hit, 44% of users between ages 18 and 29 deleted the Facebook app from their phones.





The internet should empower freedom of speech, with no bias or agenda.

It should be made for the people, with ad revenue distributed to the users.

It should give people options, either keep yor data private, or to be able to share in the monetization.



Social Media should be for the people. Not the corporations.



A new wave is coming





With the emergence of blockchain technology, there have been a plethora of platforms emerging that monetize interactions, support freedom of speech, and store data in a decentralized manner.



The options are right there in front of us, we simply need to get out of our comfort zones with traditional platforms and make the change.
