The Business of Censorship: Who Really Controls YouTube?

YouTube permanently deleted my Braaapaganda channel. No prior strikes. No warning. Was it an automated mistake—or was I targeted? I break down the unanswered questions surrounding my ban, why YouTube’s explanations haven’t resolved them, and my concerns about advertiser influence and online censorship. I don’t have proof that a motocross promoter caused my termination. But the experience raises a bigger question: how can creators challenge a decision when they don’t know specifically what they did wrong? I also discuss the Twitter Files, the platform-versus-publisher debate, and why I’m supporting Rumble while building beyond any single platform.
