Vidme To Shut Down On Dec 15th 2017

New submitter substance2003 writes: Vid.me has announced they are shutting down on December 15th 2017 citing that they could not find a path to sustainability. This news should be of concern as content creators have been getting increasingly frustrated with Youtube's algorithms that demonetize their videos and this means they have one less alternative to turn towards.

You obviously haven't been paying attention. in case you haven't heard Google has put a full on SJW as president of YouTube who went so far as to give exclusive interviews to the Young Turks (you know, the ones that deny the Armenian genocide because it doesn't fit their political narrative?) and while not doing shit about the "kill all the whites and jews" far left channels like BAMN or even doing shit about the rampant pedo invasion they've had for FOUR FRICKING YEARS now what they HAVE done is rush to demonitize anyone whose views are farther right than Trigglypuff, going so far as to set up blacklists of anyone whose political views don't follow the narrative. Popular YouTuber Razorfist showed everyone it was indeed a blacklist when he uploaded a 5 minute video of him pointing to a blank wall and going "blah blah blah" and it was demonitized in less than 10 minutes.

Never forget YouTube is MAKING MONEY off of these people, they are able to sell spots based on traffic and its these YouTubers that are driving the traffic. Steven Crowder alone gets more views than CNN but gets instantly demonitized despite his vids being more tame than Seinfeld while the jihad and pedo channels? Yeah never demonitized. The faster YouTube is replaced by a company that cares about the free market more than politics? The better.
