I use a synthetic voice on my channel to hide the fact that I'm transgender. A friend thinks that my gender identity is one of the reasons why I was demonetised last week. A human at @TeamYouTube has yet to respond to any of my messages. All I get is automated bots. YouTube, will you not treat your human creators like humans – no matter how they choose to express themself online?

I started my history channel to fight back against mass-produced AI “history” slop. 80k subscribers later, it’s my full-time job. Last week, an automated review demonetized it as "generic or repetitive." The irony is not lost on me. My viewers regularly tell me the channel

I started my history channel to fight back against mass-produced AI “history” slop. 80k subscribers later, it’s my full-time job. 12 days ago, an automated review demonetized it as "generic or repetitive." I have yet to reach a human at YouTube since. The irony is not lost on me. My viewers regularly tell me the channel has changed how they see the world. That's the opposite of generic. @TeamYouTube – your decision was wrong. Please have a human review my channel. Let's DM.

@TeamYouTube – are there any human beings left on your team? It's been 10 days since my channel's wrongful demonetisation, and I have yet to receive a single non-auotmated response. If you cannot perform a human review of my channel, then let the humanity of others stand in as evidence: Surfshark and Incogni – two sponsors I'm working with – both vetted the value of my channel, through a human agency, before signing. The agency which signed me in August, In the Black Media, did their own human review as well. These are serious companies. None of them work with "generic or repetitive" AI slop – it's precisely what they screen against. Humans have reviewed this channel, repeatedly, and concluded the opposite of your machine. Why can their humans look at my work, and yours cannot?

Although there have been discussions & articles about Project 2025, VERY FEW focus specifically on Trump's plans for Black Americans That's why I read all 922 pages of #Project2025 as well as #Agenda47 Here are the top 10 things I found: A thread: thegrio.com/2024/07/15/i-r…

France 🇫🇷 has the fourth largest gold reserves of 2,436 tons, without a single gold mine in France. Mali 🇲🇱 Which was occupied by France does not have any gold reserves in its banks, although it has 860 gold mines and produces 50 tons per year! How did France get all that gold?

The weird part about the GOAT debate is that we all have to ignore the fact that LeBron is clearly the better, more versatile, more athletic, stronger, more dedicated, more durable player who faced better competition, won as an underdog, and is a better human being. Just to talk about how MJ dominated for 6 years over an 8 year period, against inferior competition, as a less skilled player, on the best team in the league, with the best coach in the league. The story is played out, it's time to let go of the mental gymnastics it takes to keep old yellow eyes at the top.

I’ll never forget when LeBron said - “If I really wanted to I could win the scoring title EVERY SINGLE YEAR.” Instead of chasing seasonal scoring titles, he proceeded to become the NBA’s All Time leader in points. 👑🐐

in Mein Kampf Hitler praised American Jim Crow laws, and after the Nazis came to power they intensively studied the US legal model for inspiration. When they reviewed the "one-drop rule" they considered it be too harsh

Who can forget when NBA tried to use Steph blatantly double dribbling just to get his layup off on Bron, then NBA tried spamming it nonstop as part of “Steph Conquered LeBron” campaign…only for KD to get all the glory and FMVP at the end of those finals.

"The Memphis Police Department is introducing a unit that will arrest unaccompanied minors that sell food, play loud music, are inappropriately dressed or dancing in the street.” This is a recipe for more incarcerations and police killings of Black teens. commercialappeal.com/story/news/202…

"Kobe was a better defender than Lebron". Yet, when looking at their defensive metrics: 1. Lebron cleared Kobe as a defender during their head-to-head (13) years except for his rookie season 2. Kobe never dominated his teams defensively the way Lebron did (20-year sample size)

The Black and Jewish uses of the term ghetto are deeper than you think...a 🧵. Most think that Black uses of the term "ghetto" originate in a description of dilapidated urban conditions of the 1960s...They'd be wrong (1)

Americans think that the hood being called the ghetto and Jewish ghettos during the holocaust have nothing to do with each other, words are just funny like that sometimes
