There IS some shady shit going on behind the scenes at Youtube. There's a Youtuber I subscribe to (
the Spiffing Brit), whose content is 100% gaming related and not political or controversial in any way. However he did get into hot water a couple of years ago when Shutterstock threatened to burn his channel to the ground with copyright strikes if he didn't give them thousands of pounds. Turns out he thought that if he used their stock images with the watermark still on them he didn't have to pay any fees for using them in commercial content - which of course isn't true, Shutterstock own the copyright to the watermarked images just as much as the non-watermarked version. So a dumb mistake, and he came to some sort of licensing arrangement with Shutterstock and now in fact uses their un-watermarked images with his own watermark over them as a little reference to the time his stupidity nearly got his channel nuked.
But since then, despite being subscribed to him and watching about 90% of all the videos he puts out, his videos have never appeared in my recommendations. Not once. In fact I assumed that Shutterstock had got his channel nuked because I never saw his videos come up for months after that, until I checked and there were like 10 videos that I hadn't seen, or even been aware of. His is now the only channel I actually use the notification bell on, because otherwise Youtube tries its damndest to hide his content from me. And that's not someone who used a gamer word, or got involved in drama, or misgendered a tranny. He just had a copyright dispute with a third-party company that got resolved. But that's enough to throw his channel into a black hole apparently.
So yeah, I can believe that a triggered tranny/dangerhair somewhere at Google has fucked with Lowtax's channel somehow. But the idea that Kiwifarms was somehow responsible is ludicrous. The combined might of all our autism can't even get Null's channel re-monetised (even Dankula got re-monetized ffs), yet we can somehow blacklist the shit let's play channel of a 3rd-rate lolcow just because we don't like him? Yeah, nah.
