I guess the real problem is that as totalitarian as youtube is getting, it's still the most convenient site and is still quite functional. You'd be hard pressed to get people to switch over an abstract moral issue. That's the same reason why Twitter hasn't been overtaken by gab.

Thanks for posting, This is the main thing I gathered "We’ll soon be applying tougher treatment to videos that aren’t illegal but have been flagged by users as potential violations of our policies on hate speech " Direct source https://youtube.googleblog.com/2017/08/an-update-on-our-commitment-to-fight.html "Hate speech refers to content that promotes violence or hatred against individuals or groups based on certain attributes, such as: race or ethnic origin religion disability gender age veteran status sexual orientation/gender identity There is a fine line between what is and what is not considered to be hate speech. For instance, it is generally okay to criticize a nation-state, but not okay to post malicious hateful comments about a group of people solely based on their ethnicity." Direct source https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2801939 Well, hatred could just mean dislike and it seems on youtube you may no longer be allowed to dislike the irrational 30+ different gender identities anymore. Something popular among youtubers lol It will be interesting to see how this actually plays out.

i recently had to cancel my 5 dollar a month donations as money is getting extremely tight, but after hearing stephs plea i gave 50. Stephen, you've been a big inspiration to me and have encouraged me through out my life with your videos. never give up the fight.

While finding a red-pilled / FDR therapist can be nice, it's not necessary to achieve your personal growth goals. A therapist with similar values, like a Christain therapist, for instance, is an option in a small town. That being said I have heard Max Tsymbalau is good, and he offers online sessions. http://www.maxcounseling.com/ If you're looking for general tips on finding a great therapist check out my book: https://www.amazon.com/How-Find-Great-Therapist-Surviving-ebook/dp/B0713XF6DN/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499877540&sr=8-1&keywords=how+to+find+a+great+therapist

Texas! Lots of sunshine, low cost of living, conservative leanings, always summer, rarely freezes, closer to equator so even amounts of sunshine, booming economy. Dallas, Houston, and Austin are the 3 largest cities. I live in Houston and plan to settle down in Austin. I chose Texas over anywhere in the world. First for me is therapy, then I'm thinking of dating, having children, and homeschooling in Austin. Most conservative states in the US have homeschooling communities, I saw some when I lived in Missouri as well.

I'd caution against anyone who claims to be a therapist and uses the boards as a place for seeking clients. Drew, what you're doing is not ethical behavior and takes advantage of people who post about vulnerable topics.
