Youtube 15 years ago was so fun to browse. You could look up "nigger fight" in the search bar, and get a million results. You would get reccomended videos about race realism and holocaust denial or 9/11 conspiracies. You could tell anyone to kill themselves in the comments. There would be KKK or school shooting meme compilations with a shit ton of views. Youtubers used to make response to videos to each other where they freely threw around ad hominem attacks. You could even sometimes find softcore porn or propaganda content uploaded by some islamic terrorist group from a third world country. There used to be viral call of duty trolling videos where adults bullied little kids in video games. Will another generation ever experience internet like this again?
>>107559688It took 30 years for the boomer political class to understand the internet and censor it. Otherwise censorship in the media is normal since 1900.
time to find a new platform kiddo

>>107559688Hi /pol/ !
>>107560193You will never be a woman.
I remember those days. I stumbled upon videos of conspiracy theorist who believed in Agartha and dinosaurs lived in the Earth's core in 2012 and this ex US marine talking about shooting dinosaurs underground and encountering Lizard men. Comments were crazy. And I remember even up to late 2018 you could find KKK podcast on Youtube such as grand wizards giving speeches filled with so much bigotry that they made Matt Walsh seem moderate. In 2012 West Booru bapist church also had a YT channel with the song "your army is marching to hell" Also back when I was 14 you could search "booty shake" "sexy ass dance" on Youtube and find countless chicks dancing and that was like my fetish then, now its all corporate professional twerk dance studios not individuals in their bedrooms. Youtube probably forbids/disprioritizes twerk videos from randoms who can't be age verified because I noticed a huge decline in that around 2015, (twerk dance studios replacing chicks in their bedroom) It was definitely the wild west in those day. Late 2011 is when Youtube started saying "use your real name instead of a username" contradicting a 2006 YT policy to never give away your real name, its all about pleasing capitalist advertisers. Outside of twerk videos declining which was 2015, I noticed mass censorship begin in 2016 with Trump resistance and cement in late 2018. Trump obviously sucks but it really was pathetic to see big tech act like they are the resistance to him.Best way to look at it is 2005-2010 (wild west youtube with loose rules)2011-2015 (advertisers dominate, rules are better enforced but hate speech is allowed)2016-2018 (mass censorship intensifies)2019-2025 (ai powered censorship, words like unaliving, pdf file and grape become norm)Today the right wing conspiracy theories live on at Aal platforms are censored in some way, I wish we could have an uncensored platform that was not exclusive to alt right chuddery.
Back in August 2008 I was posting hudreds of racist moon man memes on Youtube and my account got suspended in a few days, so even then some policy enforcement existed.
>>107559688YouTube 20 years ago would email you your password in plaintext if you forgot it.THAT was fun. Just remember this anecdote if you ever feel inadequate.

>>107560840You only really got banned if you pushed it too much. There was a lot of leniency. There used to be nazi edit youtube poops in the 2016 era that never used to get banned
>>107559688It wasn't, we were just younger and enjoyed exploring, now we are old, worthless chuds.
>>107562058in August-Sept 2008 I posted dozens of videos on Youtube of Moon Man, with the text to speech) TTS voice saying extreme vulgarities about killing minorities and I was sharing it directly with the person who created Moon Man >ytmnd.com/users/farkleOne video had AT&T Mike talking about putting "them" in a porta potta, tiping it over and boiling them in a pot of feces like the Talmud said. Most of it was TTS voice crap of Moon Man describing his missions of torture, rape, murder and pillage and wiping Africa off the face of the earth.I probably got reported to HLS, as this was the Bush Era. I was a stupid kid back then. Yeah I know they allowed the Drew Pickles TTS, but they didn't allow Moon Man.
>>107562198I used to post racist memes on instagram as a kid. They had rules against racism, but enforcement was so lax, very little ever got removed. Someone had to firstly report you, and then it took them days to look at it. The best part was that they would simply remove your post and send you message. You would never get banned for racism on instagram. I used to post so many hitler edits, racist memes, 9/11 memes, earrape shock content. It was so much fun
>>107562435yeah and now people get demoted for terms like "kill, rape, pedo" replaced with corporate friendly wwords - unalive, grape, pdffile" They don't get banned but account will have less views, harder discoverability, and no advertiser moneys.I swear to God knowing how the english language words the word unalive may become a recognized dictionary term in 2050. That's literally how languages evolve, even Grape can mean more then a fruit. The only thing big tech is doing is expanding tomorrow's dictionary
>>107559688>Will another generation ever experience internet like this again?I hope not. Go live in the real world instead of nostalgiafagging over a digital one.
>>107560792>Also back when I was 14 you could search "booty shake" "sexy ass dance" on Youtube and find countless chicks dancing and that was like my fetish thenThis shit was a godsend to me when I hit puberty
>>107560193You didn't even come to this place until years after /pol/ became a board, otherwise you'd know /b/ was far more "omg racist" and full of "heckin evil chuds" which you despise. Fuck off freak.
>>107560792You weren't even born when YouTube was created, and you weren't even on 4chan until like 2014, stop pretending you're some wise oldfag when you're not.>right wing conspiracy theoriesWhich ones? When the right said covid was bullshit which turned out to be true? When the right said digital ID will become a thing which turned out to be true? When the right said governments would mass censor the internet which turned out to be true?You freaks always move the goalpost, going from accusing what the right wing said would happen a "conspiracy theory" to saying anyone who is against what the right predicted a "conspiracy theorist" for being against what was predicted to begin with and how it was "already a thing" or "always planned." Fuck off.
>>107562556>in 2050next year if it isn't already. the standard for something to be a word is very low, dictionary authors brag to each other about having entries for all the latest slang. unless the slang isn't au courant, then they add the entry more quietly.
