Seems YOUTUBE just started to ban bodybuilding channels ...

YouTube's aggressive AI-driven moderation as of recent, has increasingly targeted fitness and bodybuilding channels ...

No specific reason looks like the "blasting drugs and pushing fart powders" is starting to look more like a fraud rather than work ethic lol ....

Sadly, Lots of fitness, motivational, coaching Channels banned for good ..

Some of the most popular (that I heard of)

Michael Sommerfeld
James Hollingshead
King tolo
Calum Raistrick's original TeamProCoach YouTube channel was terminated as well.

They all claim were banned for just posting workout videos

(brutal if that's the real reason)

More to come WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHH

Bodybuilding has become a white trash sport.

Not familiar with some of these, but looking at Sommerfeld's stuff, he posts a lot of "thong deep in the ass crack" and "drawers pulled down to the prick root" type stuff. YouTube might've banned him for schmoe bait.

Hollingshead got banned for ban evasion, if he got banned in the past for drug talk, that's an easy one.

YouTube is probably in a crackdown period now, which happens every few years, best be careful. "I've noticed a lot of "young kids on dope" type post from Doucette and the like, that can't help.

Youtube has really hard on the channels promoting peptides and not so much steroids. Chase Iron's channel was canceled a year ago for promoting his peptide company. Now he is back on YouTube full send with steroid videos.

I hope Greg Doucette, More Plates Dates, Jesse James West, Will Tennyson, Kinobody, and Seth Forece's channels are banned next.

YT / Alphabet is about greed, and they seem to be blocking many Channels for nothing. German In Venice recently lost his entire Channel due to Alphabets AI insanity. It seems after a lot of work and help from other YT creators he now has it back, but close call. Alphabet ruins people as such a Channel is their livelihood

Mike with Arnold, many many years ago

I think censorship is never good, even if it's of people we dislike. Getbig is so good because there's so little of it.

Many creators take preemptive measures, like cross posting on multiple platforms at once, Rumble is one with lax moderating; haven't made an account there though. Racist and Jew fantasies allowed. Some have backup channels on YT they encourage followers to also subscribe to, at least used to, but evasion is a bannable offence in itself as BB said.

YT let some people back a couple of years ago when it and Facebook were criticized for interfering with speech and taking sides when Trump ran for reelection. But it's crazy what kind of words creators have to bleep. When they talk about rape they say grape or bleep it but they bleep a lot of much more innocuous words in my mind. Like "shoot" or "bomb." You see a police interrogation video and those words are bleeped. Some say they bleep the first 20 minutes; apparently after that it's not as big a deal.

One interesting case I heard wrt shadow banning on YT. One creator said all his videos critical of Netanyahu used to be shadow banned. Then all of a sudden a few weeks ago YT instead promoted those videos, crazy change in metrics. He took it to mean TPTB wanted Bibi out.

Clip farming is an interesting phenomenon. Almost none of it is organic. Some accounts apparently outsource clip farming to firms which charge 100K a month!

Kenny must have went insane, maybe he did too many psychedelics. He went full Nazi, I think he was even selling some Nazi tshirts and he wore them in public LOL. He must have known he would be totally banned almost everywhere.

I had to go look up this AI translated Hitler speech I saw a few years back. Really powerful, perfect AI voice, perfect background music. I had shivers

Joe Rogan had a hilarious take on seeing translated Hitler speeches. He said, "you used to see this madman raving in German, now you hear him in English and you go, 'oh...'"

You always have to wonder if people like this are ops. He even went to Israel to rehabilitate their image.

Might as well ban war while they are at it. I heard that's pretty risky too.

Bodybuilding has caused more harm than good, it's about time it returns to the shadows where it belongs.

The main reason I avoid youtubers, is because they usually sound like morons, they can't even talk normally most of the time. And then there's this obsession with unnecessary jump cuts which is very irritating to watch. Youtube is mostly SHIT.
