> I've actually contacted them via email multiple times, and they never respond.

> They are absolutely not commiting fraud - that is a total lie.

Lie isn't the word you're looking for when you disagree with someone.

If they never respond they aren't engaging with the OP to figure out what this person want's. If the OP even contested the charges AWS has been warned that someone isn't happy with the contract. Both by personal email and by the credit card company.

He's not helping her family because she was trans, hes helping because they had a human connection.

This, this is what I don't agree, the myopic idea where people deserve help or spite depending on some tribal characteristic.

Yes, we shouldn't allow people to have the wrong opinions.

If these people use Dave as the beacon for anti-trans opinions, the person who created a trust fund for the daughter of trans person who killed herself, maybe they aren't that good at anti-trans, just saying.

> Even the "canceled" comedians seem to be doing just fine.

I feel this is a gross generalization, are we talking about CK Lewis or Daphne? What's the line for doing fine, losing a year of gigs, working in another area, not dead, not in a mental institution?

This "cancel" culture is unproductive and pitting people against people for misunderstandings that wouldn't hold water in real life.

> violent insurrection against democratic government

Is right leaning content for insurrection? Sorry I've missed that train. The "right/libertarian" I see censored is much tamer than that, Joe Rogan, Sargon of Akkad, Viva Frey, Academic Agent, Thunderf00t, 1791.

Thanks this was what I was looking for.

> This might be right, it might be wrong, but it isn't censorship.

This is to respond that youtube can monetize or demonetize as it pleases. Since it contradicts itself by demonetize for you and not for them.

> actual bias from which side complains more.

It's complains sometimes side vs never complained side, in my pool of channels.

That's a good point, I don't follow specifically vegan groups. Usually more on the left / right part of the spectrum.

They are part of the public domain, but there is no oversight to their power and little public recourse.

Can you point me out to those non-conservatives, I would like to compare them with the ones I've seen demonetized on the right.

Well that's what you say but that's not true, to be marked as domonetisatised also lowers your view counts since the video stops showing up, it also might not show for subscribers. Youtube is also able to monetize your video, but since people have reported seeing adds on demonetized videos, you just don't get the money.

> That's unlikely due to a anti-conservative bias though.

Can you point me out to left leaning content that gets demonetized constantly so I could compare with the right leaning one. I've not seen this happen in people I've subscribed and would like to see if this claim has any merit.

All the "conservatives/libertarians" I've followed on youtube have been both demonetized and had videos suspended. It's a small sample size but all?!, what a coincidence. From the "left leaning" channels I follow I've not seen the same complain.

I don't follow anyone on facebook or twitter I can't vouch for those, maybe it's just youtube who does all the censoring.

If there are collective hallucinations then some of these article theories don't work. How can there be a personal entity and a shared one.

In lucid dreams entities can solve math problems to a certain degree. Does it mean that the lucid dream ones are real then?

This offhand reason does not happen regularly. There are cases of places without historical slavery who perceived as poor workers and places with historical slavery who are known for their work ethics.

Maybe it's not only "the legacy of slavery".

Help me out, I'm a long user of n26, I've found bugs in the app - still in production - but can never escalate them to developers. Interactions with support is as easy as interacting with a different life form, independent of the problem the solution is always to unpair your device, reinstall the app.

I agree, we're not trusting teachers with their abilities. Like someone said on a top comment, there's several ways to teach children to read. I would rather leave this choice to the teacher.

With this broad stroke breakfast also becomes a mission, if you want to have energy for the rest of the day. The false dichotomy also applies here, either you do it and it's great, or you don't and dine your failure.
