I thought I’d try getting some more eye balls on YouTube - for @Jeff Booth'S episode - as my channel is totally suppressed, so I purchased a “boost video” ad. Turns out the content is “TOO SHOCKING” for big brother 😂😂😂 What did we say in the episode? Centralized systems of control will always try to control. That’s the whole point.

lol i was similarly banned from X for trying to advertise my anti-big-corp-AI :)
I drop platforms that do things like that, regardless of how many subscribers. YouTube and the ADL censorship duo can pound sand.

Haha Which of the social media is the most truthful do you think (except nostr)? I am finding good content on IG nowadays.
This behavior / policy from these giant media and social networks will only become more prevalent as time rolls on... it is the reason that I'm now on NOSTR. Thank you for all the effort that you put into your content. You are doing amazing work.
Great app! It loads a bunch of videos under "Trending", only to remove them again. A lot of the content is marked community warnings. The warnings are super generic, why don't you actually show the specific report? It just lists all the possible report types from the NIP, not what might actually be reported. It really needs to filter out spammers who generate reports as well, some Web of Trust might be needed.
Thanks! Depending on the speed of your connection it might inadvertently mark some videos with the warning label. This system was built in response to someone posting CSAM. It takes into account a few different metrics that have been left ambiguous on purpose to help shield people from seeing potentially spam and harmful content. But, that said, it can be disabled from the settings. There is also WoT support there too 😎
Why would you invest into a platform that actively does this? Invest your time? Your content? The attention of all these people. Eventually, for me, the answer to that became “I can’t carry on” So Nostr took me in a different direction Very happily trying something different, which I am in the fortunate position to actually do
„The truth will set you free.“ John 8:32. But the truth is dangerous to a system that relies on deception, fraud and obedience. That’s the whole point. If individuals are getting more and more conscious, thinking for themselves, starting to ask more questions and seeing the lies they’ve been told… once you see, all the fraud cannot be unseen anymore. The walls of deception crumble. The system will fight back until it implodes. But no matter what, it cannot silence us all. As @Jeff Booth said: “The tools are already here.“ We are many. We are highly creative. It’s already unstoppable. Be creative folks, be loud out there and just do, what’s your unique purpose. Everything else will fall into place… God bless us all.

It's incredibly dangerous to our democracy.
And keep doing so! By fortunate I was really referring to the fact my sunk cost on legacy platforms wasn’t so high, that I was able to to walk away from it
It has to be. They censor in a manner that they wouldn’t if it was just hapless but good faith moderation

i think they are not using data from X to train Grok
It’s not just Nostr. I don’t talk about Nostr a lot. It’s many terms that the big brother decides if they now approve of or not. Take your pick - israel Gaza / vaccines / censorship / geoengineering etc etc

Exactly 😎 Centralized systems always freak out when they see the truth. That’s exactly why Bitcoin and Nostr exist.
that's crazy. the're really afraid of your voice. I'm watching it and I don't understand why they say 'too shocking'... I find it educational, passionate and made from the heart with love at the core.
Found it on Spotify, of all places😊 A really good discussion, would’ve been even better if @Jeff Booth would’ve spilled more beans on BTC and quantum computing, what’s to come😊
Of course I would assume it's using NIP-56. The way it works now without logging in makes it fundamentally flawed and useless as an app. Logging in is not much better, it's probably loading the same reports from relays, so any spammer will make the videos hidden with false reporting? I had a quick look at the code, just a single file, that's neat. I don't know much about how you want it to function so I'm not sure it's best idea to start adding features to it, I would be using AI anyway so better you do it. image
No. Please take time to review before making assumptions. It works off your social graph for the reporting. It would only trigger the community warning based on your follows reporting and only up to 5 people (fairly large window). And as mentioned, even then you can completely disable it from the settings. But you bring up a good point where in this case if the warning has been applied due to reports by who you follow, it should show the reasons. I will look into adding that. The other cases where it is applied remain ambiguous as it could be for multiple reasons.
I can assume all I want, and I of course assume any Nostr client to use the NIPs, if an Nostr app has private messages, I expect it to use NIP-4 or NIP-17. I'm not going to go through the source code to verify all apps I try out, get a grip buddy. Also, your app clearly demonstrates the very same issue at hand, your app censors almost every single video and live stream, nothing can be viewed without accepting fairly scary warning dialogs. Building this to "show it to YouTube" doesn't have the effect you wanted. Even when I am logged in, and I am following you, your awesome Max Verstappen video is censored with a warning. I turned off community warnings and warnings from followed reports made it more useable. My feedback on that is to make it far easier to change this filtering than going through the whole settings dialog. "Content Filter Packs" doesn't work that well, turned on Cryptocurrency filter and it hides a lot of unrelated videos.
next time just post the nostr event ID instead of a primal link please, that way it will open natively in whatever nostr client I'm using instead of redirecting me to a web browser and primal . net
It’s because they don’t want people to know me. It has nothing to do with this episode or with Jeff it has everything to do with me and my views. I speak out about Israel, Covid, globalists etc. Too much truth and too much bitcoin and solutions. They need to keep people fearful and divided and I do the opposite.
Yes it sucks. They’ve been on my back for 5 years now, more seriously the past 2 years since I spoke about Oct. 7th, then bitcoin… Good to know you! I’d love to watch your content. Can you send me a link to a good starting point? A good episode you did?
My YouTube channel is in Spanish, but I also have a separate podcast in English for talking more openly about other topics. I'll share in episode from both in case you're interested. •Spanish: •English: Cheers!
I see... In a way, they are telling you that you have the power to tip the scale... it also makes sense as they are a centralized closed source platform and not an open source protocol... The very opposite... It shows how powerful your voice is... It can be very disheartening but also shows that you are doing the great work 🌟 They may not boost it, but I see your uploads on yt ! Much love & patience
