Didn't know what to label this one - but I figured I would make a journal about this. I should note I'm not calling capitalists sjws, but the alt-right seem to be.
Basically youtube's ad thing is often painted as an sjw measure against all reason and logic. To this I ask, does that mean capitalism is a social justice ideology? And if so, does that mean that the right now OPPOSE capitalism?
That might seem 'dishonest' to say, if you are unfamiliar with the definition and use the word as a meaningless slander against anyone who says something that makes you uncomfortable, but I think its fair to ask.
The youtube demonetization and changes to terms of service and guidelines were not made to conform to some standard of social justice or in line with social liberalism, but purely driven by economic interests in line with the current economic system that we have. Advertisers, from companies, are given a wide range of tools by which to punish content creators based on their whims and the guidelines are setup to try to get a target audience that is; large, dedicated, and willing to be satisfied with a more corporate content lineup. As far as I can tell this is just another example of pinning a problem with a system YOU helped create onto someone who had nothing to do with it. Everything about the new system is geared towards profit; politics on the left and right happen to be touchy subjects and therefore less profitable, the same for gore or swear words or anything that might subtract from the user base that youtube wishes to get. Turning this into a left vs right thing for your own personal gain is sickening and isn't going to solve the issue. You can't just invent a problem and then invent a solution to your invented problem, life doesn't and has never worked like that.
I'm not sure where this notion came from - where the first shot was fired and whose ass it was shot out of, but its complete garbage. There is a lot more to it than just this too, like specific 'examples' of this 'sjwism' but I'd rather handle that case by case rather than turning this into a dissertation. I merely wanted to throw my input in on this matter.
