Why I hate Corporate Censorship
I mainly hate corporate censorship is because Corporations will do anything to gain money, even to the point of screwing people over, who are victims of crimes against humanity, like rape, murder, suicide, etc. YouTube, Instagram and a bunch of other stuff, alongside censoring some artists unnessasarly, I‘m still looking forward to booting up my personal website, I hate corporations for a reason, they screw over people when it’s convenient too, like firing a lot of employees in mass and stuff, meanwhile these popular websites will let other stuff through their broken mod bot systems.
I hope to make an illustration that’s against censorship by robot mods, and how it’s basically ruining the population’s language, just for some green fabric, because everything is about money, because we all live in a cynical corporate welfare society.

Freedom of Speech v. Pay to Parley
Something that really got to me was how YouTube would M-gate videos debunking the propaganda surrounding the war on Ukraine (including one woman who literally bleeped out every violent trigger-word), and yet the wingnut conspiracists, Kremlin stooges, and flagrant liars and BSers were left to run unchecked. Likely it was automodding atrocity footage, similar to how history channels are aggressively demonetized over certain WWII elements (shout-out to Alex the Rambler who for several months self-censored "war" as "kerfuffle"). Believe me, I understand how having to review extreme content by hand will grind you down, but as dA's own disastrous automod experiment demonstrated, leaving it up to the robots is less trawling with a net than driving a bulldozer.
