Many of us know mainstream media is controlled and manipulated, but so are most prominent youtubers.

Ss:

The way youtubers are controlled and owned is slightly different to mainstream media but the principle is the same. Its actually a bit easier for youtubers to be controlled since they are dependent on the algorithm, and if a YouTuber makes content the powers that be don’t want people to know (like content exposing elite pedophile rings and so on), the people in control of youtube can just shadowban that creator and limit the amount of people who can see their content. They don’t even have to remove their channel (even though they do sometimes), shadowbanning is just as effective.
