YouTube began to promote "subtle" and not so subtle far right influencers under the tenor of Susan Wojcicki.
It was under her leadership that the Adpocalypse occurred and she immediately surrendered to the bourgeoisie sponsors to slam a colossal hammer down on the monetization of virtually all independent creators, which vastly affected poor lefty creators far more than the rich fascist ones (which was intentional)
Not to mention the CONSTANT bending over backwards to protect fascists like the Paul Brothers, Alex Jones, Steven Crowder, etc, through CONSTANT AND UNCEASING ToS VIOLATIONS
Only banning or demonitizing any of them when public backlash reached critical levels. I don't believe she ever allowed the Paul Brothers to be demonitized or punished in any way whatsoever. Even the Suicide Forrest video was #1 trending for an entire day before someone at YT finally took it down.
She truly was the cancer that infected the mainstream internet with the far-right. May she rot in hell.
