 YOUTUBE JUST BANNED SIMPLY BITCOIN  

After 4 years of building up the SB channel, putting in 100s of hours of work and making sure to follow the community guidelines 
@YouTube
 
@TeamYouTube
 seems to continue to go after Bitcoin only content. 
 Freedom tech no longer an option. 
 Nostr 
 Proud to have been watching live when it happened. 
 🥲 Migrate to #nostr other stuff 🤙 No rugging here 😎  
 YouTube and Maps are the two most problematic platforms to get away from. 

Because of the content, not the tech, obviously. 

Still we gonna start somewhere. 

For the maps there's OpenStreetMaps and the Organic Maps app. 

For YouTube I would start with something like NewPipe to stream from multiple sources, one being something like nostr / blossom / podcast3. 0 with video.

Then offering creators a simple migration from YouTube to a new open storage / video distribution channel where they can be zapped.  
 Organic Maps is amazing though, it's legitimately better than Google Maps' app in most ways for me. It's something as rare as a highly polished open source app. 
 Organic is great indeed. 

But is missing the user content. Locations are all there but with no reviews one need to go somewhere else to evaluate them. And the reliability of Google maps reviews is probably the best out there. 

Very hard to replicate or import. Huge problem.  
 Stop building on borrowed land. It will only get worse.

You've been warned

Fuck YouTube 
 Great way to put it.  “Building on borrowed land.” 
 That sucks, hope you get it back.

 what bout btckindergarten? 
 Quit sucking up to daddy Elon & Google’s centralized algos and start contributing and building on top of pro freedom platforms.

#Xitter cucks will get cucked. 
 Dang I'm sorry to hear it. Must be such a sour feeling seeing your hard work get rugged like that at the push of a button.

That said, if only there was some sort of censorship resistant protocol and related ecosystem built around hard money that supports livestreams and podcasting. 
 If only such a thing existed...🤔 
 Fuck YouTube. We got you here on nostr 🤙 
 Go to rumble 
 Oh and fuck em haha 
 They are fiat platforms, of course they gonna rug you... Stop whining and decentralise. It's not as if you didn't know it was coming. 
 Get with someone who knows how to set up a simply bitcoin relay. Self host all your content there. Use YouTube for short form and only as a way to tell people that this is where they can find the real simply. Teasers and snippets on TheirTube only.. 

Also is anybody working on a video-focused client? #asknostr 
 That's shit mate, I hear you, you put the hours in

I could see plebs creating speakeasy channels on yt

Using codewords to bypass the censors 
 Remind me to tell you what I went through this past year when I’ve already proven myself, my entire life is proved it

Their posts here are entirely just cross-posts from X. This account foes not engage with the Nostr community.

Seems to me that the occasion of being banned from a centralized platform would be a good opportunity to go Nostr-first, but will they? 
 The “@teamyoutube” screams copy and paste from X. Just kind of frustrating to see 
 Oh, it's 100% some kind of automatic cross-posting bot. 
 Probably not. They are chasing fiat, fake engagement and clout - nothing you'll find here. 
 They won't. They're clout chasers. Not enough clout here.

 Maybe you shouldn't be illegally transmitting then Mr bitcoin man. Haha

Jk. 

Its obv terrible blow and loss of sunk resources. At least you can do it better / faster this time.

Did you get banned? 
 That sux

I had mine banned a few years ago and couldn't get it back. Automated response from bots. 

Thats why we nostr  
 x eso mejor #nostr

 Stop fighting them and move to parallel platforms.  Pain now = payoff in the end.  
What they’re doing is not sustainable long term.

I have completely given up goog/msft/aapl and I dont miss them.  There are perfect alternatives. The only leverage they have on you is money… and BTC solves that problem too. 🍻 
 Waiting for Simply Bitcoin to go live on Rumble! Follow and Smash the likes! 
 Oh they are.  They’re streaming live on X and Rumble soon 
 Why? What did you say? 
 no one watched your shitty channel anyway lol 
 Wai so hostile? 
 Oh idk maybe  because they pump out the most bizarre garbage content on their channel and expect everyone to simp for them and elsalvador and were not allowed to question anything, theyre fake bitcoiners plain and simple, derranged supposed "maximalists" who cant code and only care about fiat value while accusing everyone else of doing that exact thing 
 Ok, that sounds like some solid points of improvement. I haven’t watched the channel much so in no position to refute them. 

Still I don’t wish this kind of action against any genuine and honest actor regardless on what stage they are on their bitcoin journey. And yes, I also can’t judge if they’re genuinely trying. But I’ll still give it the benefit of the doubt. Incentives can be strong, and most people are still working and measuring from the old system. 

Whether people simp for them is up to them. No shame in trying to muster a counter weight to youtube. Even though the solution will never be as sustainable as a technical one, like Nostr. 

Thank you for sharing regardless, much appreciated. 
 my overall point is that they are bad at their job, all while pretending theyre so great, holier than thou, bigger bitcoiners than us, etc...
I support bitcoin and dont want to see a channel pushing an echo chamber narrative that seems entirely paid off by a handful of corporations already in control of the bitcoin ecosystem 
 Also my nostr account is literally censored from every single desktop UI from posting pictures, its not censorship resistant if I have to roll my own fucking UI just to post a picture. they are LYING to you 
 Upload your existing videos to IPFS, and link them on Dtube.  Start streaming on Zap.Stream.
No more corporates. 
 Fuck YouTube… at some point we all have to get off YouTube anyways. 
 That’s really disappointing. Tell us where you wind up. 
 Hora de cambiar el nombre del show a "Simplemente Bitcoin".  
 So annoying.  Time to ban youtube. 
 I watched the last video with rustin.  That shit had me rolling  but all the while I was thinking to myself 'these guys are gonna get in trouble with big algo'  
 When NostrTube?  
 flare.pub 
 They store the data on amazon servers. Isnt that a point of failure & not censorship resistant? 

If it is then why not store it on decentralised storage systems like filecoin or arweave?
 
 Don’t you have to have filecoin and arweave coins or tokens to use those services? I thought you needed their wallets to use their services. 
 Same with AWS. So in the case of flare.pub storing on amazon servers they pay with lighting? I doubt it. 
 they banned me too 4 years ago because i reported about the truth:
fake disease crime, who was involved, who did it
police brutality even against children and seniors
and warned everyone about the coming lethal injections

satantube is a narco company, they own shares of many drug cartels

use rumble, bitchute, dailymotion,odysee
a hundred others are better than cat and dogtube  
 Why don't you stream on zap.stream 
 Well awesome to have you here!! Forced early adoption and focus on a better system. Sorry for all your hard work and losing so much reach. Might be less people here, but the ones that are seem amazing! 
 We need to start a mass migration away from these centralized services. It wouldn’t take long to build up a video service that would overtake youtube. 
 You bet they will. They understand their control over people disappears when Bitcoin becomes the currency of choice.  
 What’s the video that did it? I want to zap it 
 I knew talking about Elizabeth Warren all the time was going to make Christine LaGuard angry, but I never expected this!!!! Knights of Opti it's time to rise and take back our freedom!!!!Arrrrrrghhhhh... Simply Bitcoin will always be the best show on T.V. to me.... I hope you are back on the airwaves soon!!! Peace! ~  Spaceman Out. 
 Have you tried 3Speak yet? Web3 video platform running on Hive, one of the most decentralized chains. They have a quite nice App too. 
 😱😱😱 
 Got me to sign up for Rumble today when I saw this happened.   
 I wish we could all make enough noise to start something on #nostr to make people come here by content  
 Goddamn tyrants 
 Thats ruff. I hope you have all the content backed up 
 we will need censorship robust social networks. or else is dark age again 
 We need to have a decentralized video streaming service urgently!!

nostr:note1j3x6ct6xvlnkwd4pes48200vyq2ftajzxzye9yp2xj7nys5za0jqzpeh55  
 I cant zap you bro 
 What was the feedback they provided as to why they closed your channel? 
 Another reason for decentralized projects like #nostr 
long live decentralization ✌️🌏♥️

nostr:note1j3x6ct6xvlnkwd4pes48200vyq2ftajzxzye9yp2xj7nys5za0jqzpeh55 
 I have no words. But I have the same feeling that I had when my bank refused my request to transfer shitty fiat to a legitimate and legal exchange. 
 It's absurd considering how many shitcoin shills are still allowed to peddle their nonsense. 
 ikr 
 Been listening to you guys from the start , one of , if not my favourite shows, keep going , keep building and keep spreading the gospel ✌️🤘 
 Do not be discouraged, do not kneel before them! Freedom of speech and creation is more!https://m.primal.net/Heuv.mp4  
 Boycot youtube 
 try that in a small town of decentralized relays 
 Hopefully you get it back.

80% of what I used to watch on YouTube has been banned.

Good luck. Hopefully we can all build outside the centralized systems. 
 Attacking self custody on every front. 
 Fight, Fight, FIght, #Bitcoin is the Future, Freedom is the Future 
 Dang. Well, try it get it back. Or maybe we just need a nostr powered YouTube alternative. 🤔 
 Agreed. In the meantime PeerTube can be used 
 Oh yes, I remember PeerTube. Been a long while since I've caught up with that. 
 Crazy 
 On platforms the question is not if you will be deplatformed but when. Sad, but 🤷

#deplatformization

nostr:note1j3x6ct6xvlnkwd4pes48200vyq2ftajzxzye9yp2xj7nys5za0jqzpeh55 
 Empire showing its teeth. we have seen nothing.  
 if you send me your videos i can add them to the llm 
 My condolences on the death and rebirth of your dream... and lots and lots of hard work... 
 so pissed at how ridiculous the censorship is getting, will nice to rumble to follow you guys, not seeing rustins videos though, any links? 
 I just followed you on Rumble. YouTube is of the Devil! 
 Fuck youtube migrate to odysee 
 I think Odysee is so much better than rumble. 
 Time to go multi platform like Rumble. Tell your fans and they will follow. 
 Heey, I see you are back!!! 
 Listened to that episode and went ahead and joined Nostr within 30 minutes 😁 
 He kept saying ' that thing that happened' referring to covid and was going hard at the imf and what not... I can't remember it all right now but it was pretty raw.  I got Old man brain and can't retain much and whatnot but I remember it was damn funny
  I hope they get put back on but I'm not holding my breath.  It's fucking bullshiy cuz there just speaking the truth but that doesn't play well these days.
