YouTube crackdown
Yesterday, YouTube aggressively deleted and blocked a large number of channels focused on technology and blockchain.
50 of my videos just got removed for being harmful or dangerous content. Most of these weren't even crypto videos. Tutorials, explainers, educational videos, Australian housing market updates, economics & negative interest rates. What a way to spend #Xmas. Absolutely gutted 😢 pic.twitter.com/SrGHaLW5na

They've already hit many of the crypto channels you know and love, so the attack may already be here against cryptocurrency: https://t.co/LCgvIMVs3B

The beauty of LBRY is that this kind of thing could never happen here. Even if evil-censorship-loving brain slugs wormed their slimy mind-control tentacles into our brains (we think this may have happened at YouTube), your keys would still be safe in your hands.
