    I can't imagine why she didn't make $$$$ with videos of this quality.


    her issue is that she was making money off her videos until FB pulled them.

    Have to agree with her. Her videos were not anywhere near as bad as others yet they filtered her, took away her freedom to express. Again it's giant companies like youtube and Facebook trying to control the world and what is viewed.

    With all the problems with demonetization over the past year I'd imagine there is a collective biting of the tongue amongst many Youtube content creators right now.

    Insensitive maybe but I can't imagine a great many of those making a living through the platform didn't at least envision murdering a few people at Youtube at some point.

    Obviously though, there's a gulf between such intrusive thoughts and acting on them and she was clearly unhinged.

    Do words not mean anything anymore? "Female" should be used to denote biological sex, that's what the dictionary definition refers to. Will this be recorded in the statistics as a woman perpetrating a mass shooting even if they are actually a biological male? That's going to skew the figures massively and won't be an accurate representation

    I'd say that after hearing that Youtube were giving Logan Paul his own talk show.(He of laughing at dead bodies in Japan's 'suicide forest' and tazing dead rats fame) .. quite a lot of Youtubers who have been demonitized and pushed to the bottom of 'so called trending' must have had the same idea cross their mind.

    Totally disagree.
    Her freedom to express existed well before Facebook and Youtube. Both a private companies and well within their rights to exercise whatever content control they want.
    There's plenty of other streaming sites and social media outlets besides those, and plenty of other avenues to get your message across.
    No excuse to get a gun and shoot the place up.

    Also, plenty of Youtubers are affected by content filtering and demonetization. It's an ongoing saga at the moment that just hasn't been resolved. Don't see any of them taking up arms.

    Agreed with this. My own channel (Mainly revolving around equipment used in WW2, such as tanks) is on the fringes of the potential new Youtube rule. We await further clarification on their new policies.

    There are other possibilities. A number of folks I work with are affected by Youtubes policies, and have already started moving to other sources. Originally it was just monetisation, so Patreon stepped in. They are making more on Patreon than they are on Youtube now. Then they started looking for other platforms to host their videos on entirely. Believe it or not, Pornhub has stepped into that role. I strongly suspect that if many more channels jump, they'll set up a new domain name. Gunhub exists for some firearms channels, for example. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/03/22/596161899/restricted-by-youtube-gun-enthusiasts-are-taking-their-videos-to-pornhub

    Youtube is convenient, but the more proprietary and restrictive they get, the more they open themselves up to competition.

    apparently so. I'm as mystified as you are.

    Kids that are watching the likes of these tools are in serious trouble further on in life.

    Sure the little one is picking up on all the American slang etc.

    Seriously limit the amount they can watch and what exactly they are watching.

    That yoke was some serious fruit and I'm shocked at how it made money from making a fool of themselves.

    We are doomed if this is classed as informative.....

    I went to her website and while she is obviously deranged, she campaigned against cruelty to animals (which is a good thing).
    www.NasimeSabz.com
    She had linked a video of Chinese baby bears getting skinned alive. I was not aware of this disgusting practice. I won't repost the video here, too traumatic, but the bears are still alive and grimacing with pain after being skinned.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,171 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    Just watched her video there. Yeah she's mad.... And actually "her"? That's clearly a bloke.

    I had no idea until now. Why where the media saying female so much.

    Disgusting from the BBC - the headline, glorifying it

    Nasim Aghdam: Vegan bodybuilder who 'railed against YouTube'

    Would they have said the same about it if it were a Trump supporting male NRA redneck ?
