Users of social media platform have looked on in bewilderment as stories they share talking about Vitamin C and D are labelled with 'Fake News' warnings. These typically accompany twisted rebuttals of the original claim, such as saying that Vitamin D is not a vaccine against coronavirus - a claim that was never made.
Below is the interview that probably did him in. This comes on the heels of an announcement over a month ago that while he was a Bernie Sanders supporter, he would probably vote for Donald Trump over Joe Biden. This is also against YouTube rules for the platforms high-ranked stars with a large social media following as influencers.
After years of building itself as a brand to 'broadcast yourself', the YouTube platform made an apparently suicidal move paralleling those of Facebook, to dedicate itself to promoting legacy media brands controlled by the Deep State. This entirely ignored why billions of online denizens worldwide had turned to YouTube as a source of alternative media, news and opinions.
This much is widely understood. But in recent weeks, YouTubers have faced a slew of hits, strikes, and warnings from YouTube that they had better follow the party line on Covid-19. For reasons FRN has explained, MSM and governments have become science deniers and science suppressors, censoring expert voices from the medical community who have simply restated what only yesterday was understood by all - that Vitamin C and D are essentially immune boosters.
YouTube's censorship backfired, with Rogan announcing a $100 million contract with Spotify, a move that increased Spotify's worth by billions of dollars. This is what happens when companies are controlled by the deep state and place ombudsmen and bureaucratic police agent yes-men, where entrepreneurial visionaries need only apply.

In normal life (or what passes for it these days), I never come across people who are at all swayed by internet nonsense.
Ordinary people, all those many of us outside the censorship and control gang, are more than able to discern for themselves.
Indeed, the most often heard comment from regular folks on all things media is, " Well, you can't believe anything they tell you on the telly/newspapers/the internet...!"
That's a major middle finger salute to YouTube.
All because the self-appointed censors insist on eating themselves alive.
I'm going to have to look into this Spotify.
