 Russell Brand claims that he is being censored Now it's a little bit bizarre because this is a multi millionaire who decided to become a youtuber I'm guessing for fun and you know, that's fine. I used to watch his content, but Just by being a celebrity you have a huge advantage on YouTube the algorithm favor celebrities just as it favors corporate media But yet he's claiming that he's being censored because one of his videos was like deleted or something This is not a unique phenomenon. I've been on the platform for a very long time Some of my videos have been deleted. Many of my videos have been demonetized There are thousands of smaller creators that this happens to all the time, but for this multi millionaire youtuber To cry censorship after the algorithm favors him. I mean, it's just He's so tone-deaf and he doesn't even realize it like we're supposed to feel sympathy for him. I Feel sympathy for the thousands of smaller creators who are more talented than Russell Brand and don't spew bullshit Like he spews who they don't get preferential treatment by YouTube They don't get picked up by the algorithm whereas he can release some dumbass video Where he spends 10 minutes droning on about some article that he read and that gets hundreds of thousands of views But for people who are actually talented the algorithm is suppressing them And so for him to say I'm being censored it really rubs me the wrong way, but let's listen We have been officially censored by YouTube. They took down one of our videos for misinformation But why are big media organizations not censored for misinformation in the same way? Is it but I mean you're on the same algorithm that they're on So I I agree that there is inconsistency Right, I have to debunk the misinformation that Fox News puts out but the reason why Fox News is on The good algorithm lane why they're on good standing with YouTube is because these massive media outlets They are largely viewed as advertiser friendly Whereas YouTube doesn't really know what to expect with smaller creators. Perhaps we say something that offends advertisers more frequently I'm not really sure But either way like you are on the corporate algorithm So while you're correct to denounce mainstream media and the way that they get preferential treatment, you also get preferential treatment You also get that same preferential treatment and again to have your video deleted This has happened to all of us the only reason why these bigger right-wingers I don't know if he's a right-winger to be clear He's certainly pandering to the right but either way the only reason why they claim about or cry about this is so that way They can claim they're being censored so that way they can then Direct you to their patreon page or direct you to whatever a new grift they're trying to pull They use it as like a marketing opportunity. That's why you don't see smaller people Complain about being censored because this shit happens to us all the time I mean I get copyright claims on videos that I posted like three years ago I get videos deleted all the time my catalog is like 4,000 videos So it happens but you don't see me complaining and that's because I'm not trying to grift off of this idea that I'm the victim And I'm being a censored because that's not really true It just is like YouTube isn't looking at Russell brand and saying oh We have to really silence this guy because he seems to be on to on to corporate power like they don't give a shit about you It probably happened automatically So shut the fuck up The YouTube are part of the mainstream media now earlier this month We did a video about the changing narratives around COVID the pandemic and COVID treatment Just based on like what the way that he's talked about this before Odds are he did spread some misinformation Now look usually YouTube doesn't take that down I think that he is less savvy than others who spread misinformation about vaccines Like Jimmy door for example because Jimmy door has been on the platform longer So he kind of knows which buttons he can and can't push so when Jimmy door talks about some He will give himself plausible deniability and so Russell brand probably is a little bit more brazen Although I don't know because I haven't really tuned into his content It seems like he does do a lot of what Jimmy door does in where he'll kind of try to present both sides Or he'll give himself plausible deniability, but for him to discuss the changing narratives of COVID Yeah, that does seem a little bit sus there I mean if I posted a video where I I don't know I showed like a police officer abusing someone and beating someone I know That posting that video even if I'm talking about it because it's newsworthy that might not only get demonetized It could get me banned potentially because that goes against to us So he's been on this platform long enough himself that he should know this but whatever Which we cited information on official government websites, which we misinterpreted I'll have to be careful talking about it now. So I don't want to make the same mistake wait, so okay I'm glad he's admitting that he misinterpreted it seems like it wasn't intentional But if you will literally spread misinformation and you know that why didn't you on your own volition take down the video? So first of all you shouldn't be angry that YouTube took down the video If you yourself should have taken it down if you admitted that you were spreading this information because you misinterpreted information on a government website Are you serious? You're actually going to complain about this. I Cannot believe the audacity of this motherfucker One of our videos pulled down and an official warning issued the good news is we're moving to rumble Oh, there it is right there. That's the grip. I'm sure Peter Peter teal is paying him Although I can't back that up, but that's how he gets people to go to the platform Let me just go back here. Let me just go back here Whereas it showed his YouTube dashboard to be careful talking about it now So I don't want to make the same mistake that's had one of our videos pulled down and an official, okay I don't know if you can see that right here almost six million subscribers 83,562 new subscribers in the last 28 days. I'm sorry, brother. You are not being censored if This is what your analytics look like Do you want to know what my sub count was for the last 28 days? It's like plus 30 or something like that Do you want to know what most people in my lane like in this area in this sphere? What our monthly sub count looks like if we're lucky? 2000 2000 so to have massive growth like this and complain that you're being censored. I mean It's so ridiculous like I hate celebrities on YouTube by the way like even when we had Will Smith blow up when he was doing his vlogs. I hate that because You're already a so like you're already a celebrity like fuck off like this is supposed to be where Authentic people post their thoughts. We don't want these corporate goons these celebrities like we built our platforms from nothing we built our platforms by Just plugging away for years and this motherfucker has the nerve to claim that he's being censored Because in a video where he knows he spread misinformation He got digged by YouTube look if I spread actual medical misinformation in one of my videos I would take that video down because I don't want to violate community guidelines because I know that YouTube will dig me for that But he's so entitled this rich multi-millionaire is so entitled that he thinks he could literally Spread misinformation and admit to doing that and after lots of growth by YouTube, which none of us see on the left Claim that he's being censored. Even the young Turks probably doesn't see this much growth That is a ton of growth, but yet he's being censored folks Ridiculous good news is we're moving to rumble all of our content is there it is first And we'll be streaming on rumble every day. We have been persecuted for misinformation and it's right We have a responsibility to make sure that the information we convey is absolutely 100% as accurate as it possibly could be in the mistaken video We said it that the NIH were recommending the use of what we should have said is they're trialing That's he's talking about ivermectin by the way So he was trying to hypocrisy burn the government or something because they recommended the use of ivermectin By the way, get off of ivermectin's dick folks. Okay, it's not effective in treating COVID-19. Holy shit I don't know why they won't take the L on this but people like Jimmy Doran Russell brand They refuse to take the L ivermectin is not effective at treating COVID-19 It is very effective if you have a parasite, but not effective for treating COVID-19 and this dumb motherfucker is like Oh, well, yes, we have a responsibility, but we're still being persecuted dude Do you not understand how ridiculously unreasonable you look right now? Oh my god Should have said you pointed that out to us. We made an apology video. We've taken that down I said I was sorry Why won't you let me monetize this video and keep it up the one where I spread the misinformation because I said I was sorry I Mean that's not the way that it works brother if you know you spread misinformation Why would you expect to keep up that video and still make money off of the misinformation that you spread? We've taken down the apology video because in case we reiterate the claim while apologizing for it So both of those videos you can watch right now on rumble. They're still live on rumble That's the reason we're joining them because they're not going to censor our content I would like to know did he and let me let me switch because dog cam Needs to be deactivated because pooby left me, but I would like to know what contract did he get from Peter teal? Is there a contract because look you're not gonna go to a website like rumble because there's just not as many eyeballs there In fact, let me go to his rumble and see how many views he's getting in order to make that jump It has to be worthwhile monetarily speaking 15,000 views 100,000 views that's pretty good 28,000 84,000 21,000 28,000 so this is on the level of people like my size David Dole size Kyle Kalinsky size But on YouTube so on this video 800,000 views, let's look at his view count. Just look at me speaking 246,000 100,000 800,000 100,000 165,000 1,000,120,000 950,000 3.2 million 1 million. Yeah, so I'm sorry He's not gonna jump over to rumble unless he's getting a pretty good paycheck Okay, because that's a lot of work to upload to two different places I would know I upload to three different places every single day YouTube Facebook and means TV Okay, so you don't do all of that extra work unless it is worthwhile unless there's going to be eyeballs So for him to jump to rumble Yeah, yeah He's getting paid This misinformation strike and takedown demonstrates exactly what it is We're talking about we made an error in my opinion a relatively small error and we're being penalized for me That looks like censorship and the reason I you admit that you made the error You can't admit that you spread misinformation get penalized for it and then claim that you're being censored. Holy shit Talk about taking responsibility. I'm glad that he admits that he was in the wrong with that video But I mean What did you expect if you knowingly spread misinformation and you did not take down the video? It is astonishing to me that you're gonna cry censorship when YouTube actually takes action all of us would expect that you know smaller creators they get censored all the time and Nobody hears them when they bitch But it's only these Huge creators with millions of subscribers that we all are supposed to care when they get censored Because they just have bigger platforms. They have louder voices So when they cry we all hear it more, but this happens the creators every single day and nobody winds It's just that's why it's so bad when these rich assholes whine about it Looks like censorship is because there's mainstream media misinformation up all the time now We know so because mainstream media spreads misinformation You should be able to spread misinformation too. Is that really your argument? Yes mainstream media is bad and they not only spread Deceitful news, but they frame things in a very pro corporate way That doesn't mean that oh well they get to do it So I want to do it too. Don't you want to be better Aren't you trying to like make it seem as if you are better? Isn't that why you're on YouTube because you're better you have higher standards than mainstream media But yet he's like no no see Rachel Maddow says things that are wrong So I should be able to say it too. Well for me personally Um, I want a correct mainstream media when they spread misinformation I don't want to use their misinformation spreading their corporate biases To then in turn spread my own version of misinformation and biases Like it's insane that he's making this argument. I am genuinely shocked by this. He is so fucking shameless Vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus The virus does not infect them the virus. Okay, first of all, I don't know when she's saying this This is not true now if she was saying this When we got the first version of vaccines during the alpha wave of the pandemic, I'd say okay They're 95 effective. So you shouldn't say this But I think that this claim that she's making here if she was making this claim at that time That's probably less egregious than him accidentally saying That ivermectin is effective because then that could lead to people again Seeking out ivermectin if they can't get a prescription getting horse pace Shitting their fucking intestines out Like this is not as egregious as what you did and this is your example that you're going to use Most of us know now that that's not true, but that video is up on youtube What's the date? What's the date? Let's go back a little bit march 30th 2021 this was before the delta wave hit the united states substantially So you are comparing a video from march of 2021 When it was the case that the vaccines were 95 effective That doesn't mean that it stops everyone from getting COVID-19 even then there were breakthrough cases So again what she said here was technically incorrect But you're going to bring up this old-ass video and claim that oh, they're spreading misinformation as bad as I do Unbelievable unbelievable In my opinion, that's misinformation So we are asking is there one standard for independent news broadcasters like us on our channel And a different standard for what we would call the mainstream media Um No, you're not one of us rustle brand You are not one of us. You may be independent technically Although i'm not sure if you're being funded now by pure teal, which is why you're jumping to rumble But you're not one of us. You are on the mainstream media algorithm. You get boosted as much as they do So the double standard isn't between you and mainstream media The double standard is between people like you and smaller creators who don't have name recognition They weren't in these huge movies. So they had a huge start out of the gate They had to build their platform. It took years of dedication, but this motherfucker Knows he spread misinformation and then complains when he gets Dinged by youtube cry censorship Unbelievable rustle brand is a fucking piece of work and it's sad because I used to really like his content I thought his youtube videos were okay. They were fine Um, I liked his movies I was a pretty big fan of rustle brand believe it or not get him to the greek was a really great movie. I still like it Um, but now all he is is this opportunistic grifter. I'm not sure if his like Hollywood career crashed and burned. So he decided to You know jump to youtube to cultivate an audience based on not necessarily misinformation purposefully But pandering to conspiracy theorists. I'm not really sure but either way what he's doing now is really sad Um, and I think he knows better. I think he knows better, but he is you know, he's intelligent enough To use this to cash in so it's just uh, it's sad
