Le place for dogelore and classic doge memes to be shared has arrived. Wow.

Cheems, Walter, Cate, and other Doge-adjacent characters are welcome.

I mean, they are not a public service like roads which are mandated to allow everyone. They are a private company that decides who gets to say what and who they promote. So they are encouraging him.

The viewers who continue to watch him are encouraging him, not the platform itself. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

If people didn't consume his kind of content, there wouldn't be a problem.

The YouTube algorithm determines whose eyeballs are on what. It's not like our feeds are 100% randomized.

Does the algorithm force you to click on and watch? Does it put a gun to your head and make you like and subscribe? Join their Patreon?

No it doesn't. The YouTube algorithm determines whose eyeballs are on what.

It's both. Youtube profits off of people viewing him so they have some responsibility. Though I do agree that the sickos watching him contribute and shouldn't encourage him.

Your stupid take would allow child abuse on YouTube.
