YouTube did not delete R Kellys channels until one month after his conviction and his music continues to be available on YouTube Music.
- gregjor 3y agoYouTube has not deleted Russell Brand's channel. Go look, it's all still there. They did stop running advertisements on his videos, called demonetization. YouTube has contractual obligations to their advertisers, and those reputations, and their own, to consider, along with the opinions of millions of other users.
- hnburnsy 3y agoYes, just comparing how YT acted. AFAICT, R Kelly was not demonetized prior to the conviction.
- gregjor 3y agoYouTube’s rules change over time. They apparently enforce the rules inconsistently and with poor transparency and support. https://kkoz.medium.com/youtube-frustration-reaching-a-boiling-point-again-91e012311c59 https://kkoz.medium.com/youtube-frustration-reaching-a-boili... That’s frustrating but not illegal or evidence of a conspiracy. Relying on YouTube or any social media platform for an income has some risks, just like most jobs that can lay you off or fire you for no reason. Russell Brand was supposedly making $1M/mo on YouTube until a few days ago. That’s pretty good risk/reward to me, especially considering he has other platforms to move to.
- hnburnsy 3y agothx good info!
