Steven Crowder Alleges YouTube is Meddling with the Election

To hear it from the mainstream media, the #1 danger to the free and democratic election of our nation’s leader is Russia. Russian hackers, Russian assets, Russia, Russia, Russia.

You have to wonder why they’re pushing this so hard. Is it because, if they didn’t, we might uncover something unsavory about the meddling efforts of the left? Pish posh, they’re morally perfect.

Except, well, HAHA psych that seems to be exactly the case, at least according to Steven Crowder. The conservative comedian/commentator (try saying that five times fast) released a live stream on his YouTube channel with what he considers to be definitive proof of YouTube, and its parent Google, throttling traffic and search results for Tulsi Gabbard at key moments in her campaign.

Now, an hour is a long time to spend on a video, so I’ll summarize to the best of my ability. But I encourage you to try to find time to watch it for yourself, because there’s actually substance to the allegations levied by Crowder– something that’s often missing from complaints from the modern, progressive, AOC-type. Although, admittedly, it’s not hard to come up with more substance than AOC, as long as you can come up with something other than “racist” or “sexist.”

Crowder begins the stream by “expressly [giving] permission for anyone out there to screen record and pirate this stream in the event that it’s banned and this content removed.” This fear is not unfounded, given the channel’s history with demonetization and targeting by YouTube, which Crowder briefly summarizes in order to give some context to his forthcoming findings.

Basically, in trying to determine what was going on with their own decrease in organic reach, the team at Louder with Crowder found that their channel was being blocked from appearing in YouTube searches– but only in America. And it was only until they drew a line from their own experiences with YouTube to potential issues with campaigns and elections that they were personally contacted by YouTube.

The communication between Louder with Crowder and YouTube led to a change in their status, proving that “ultimately there is a person at YouTube who can make these kinds of calls, or at the very least can correct and guide them.”

This is the set up for the “big reveal”: That YouTube has been applying the same techniques of silencing and shadow banning to presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard has already sued Google for temporarily suspending her Google Ads account during the hours immediately after the first debate, and Crowder believes he has found evidence supporting her position.
