End of an Era: iBankCoin’s Youtube Channel Has Been Terminated for Nothing At All

Honest to God’s truth here, I don’t give a shit. The channel had 26,000 subscribers, more than 3,200 videos, 30 million+ views, and countless iBC lore branded videos, showcasing our content being read on CNBC and other edits that were creatively made for this community.

Youtube emailed me this note describing the reasons.

This video was uploaded maybe two years ago and was factual. I know the title is a bit crazy — but it was true. The other two strikes on the account were for CNN segments, none of which were remotely controversial. One of the videos debunked the Parkland false flag theory.

I used to get upset over this sort of thing due to MUH freedom of speech. But, truth of the matter is, I’m not a social justice warrior and I don’t care enough to fight this. I know, first hand, that Youtube is being mismanaged by the CEO on down, to whomever unilaterally decides to ban accounts.

The channel used to garner ~$3,500 per month in income, all from news clips featured on other networks. If it’s part of the public domain and those networks permit it, it can be uploaded and shared on Youtube by anyone. But last year the world’s largest video platform demonetized mostly all channels and that dropped revenues by about 75%.

In short, the revenue losses are immaterial, but the content loss is somewhat priceless.

I’m already over it.

I’m not big on taking pictures or clinging onto memories. I’m more of a ship passing in the night type of guy and am appreciative for the years Youtube gave me a platform for our content; but now they can fuck themselves. I was gonna buy YT Red in order to see Cobra Kai, but now I think I’ll go out of my way to bootleg it.

Final lesson: political speech is toxic for business and all but prohibited in this country. I can’t change that, so I move on.

    Americans are nothing but cucks and cowards. Why everyone continues to support youtube as a platform is beyond me. There are plenty of others or at the very least use hooktube and starve the beast.

      Hooker tube offers ad revenue? People used YT in order to make money.

      It’s called scale.

      As for Americans being cowards, check yourself. We might be cowards, but we’re braver than all other countries in the world. Government has always been miserable, but never as bad as it is now.

    I will miss the ibc videos, especially Devil Dog. He was hilarious.

    Maybe you can or one of your employees can start a different You Tube channel some time later, and just not put in any white supremacist videos, or ones that sound like they are, if you go by the title.

      I have a channel but what’s the point? The old iBC content is lost.

        Darn. Some of it was great stuff. Anything new you put on the channel you have, please make backups.

    Is it just me, or is the phrase “We value your opinion” corporate-speak for “F*** off”?

    BANNED

    I never really watched the youtube channel but I do watch most of the videos linked to the blog. I remember several entertaining vids of street battle knockouts on both sides. Seems like you got fucked Fly and I’m not just talking about losing the content.

    And yes! Thanks for reminding me of Cobra Kai! It’s getting rave reviews. I will pirate it with you out of solidarity and just send $5 to Ralph Macchio

    Take a look at the people being banned on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube for “violating our standards”or whatever other nebulous reason they give and then then tell me with a straight face that this isn’t politically motivated. Just happens to be just before the mid-term election campaigns begin but I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.

    Appeal it.

    Don’t let them eat your pudding.

    Lots of people have been banned and come back.

    Get what’s yours.

    “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.” Steve Jobs
