YouTuber Shawn Woods posts weekly videos on mousetraps. He has done much to educate people on humane ways to trap and kill pests, and condemns the use of traps which prolong suffering, such as sticky traps.
He has had years of struggles with YouTube censoring and demonetizing his videos. Meanwhile, YouTube is allowing, monetizing, and even verifying these fake animal rescue channels.
- andromeduck 6y agoThe big problem with valley based media platforms in general is that there's very little cultural diversity along some dimensions such as urban/rural or geographically due to being almost exclusively located in SF/LA metro areas. It also seems to me that both conservatives and progressives here share a pretty strong paternalistic leanings here
- Nextgrid 6y agoThere are also knockoff mousetrap videos that are obvious animal abuse that are recommended on Shawn Wood’s videos. Unbelievable that they would censor the original (which is quite tame and tries its best to make it humane) but leaves the obvious abuse unchecked.
