Has anyone else noticed RT videos taking ages to load? Perhaps they have been put on the 'slow' internet stream?
May be your PC is being targeted. Ive had nothing but problems the last 4 or 5 years with Virginmedia and now the same with Talk Talk.. Neighbours all seem to enjoy decent speeds and stability . Mine can work ok but its like the gremlins screwing it up all the time --slow speeds (less than 1mb), dropping connection many times each night. BT Engineers say there is nothing wrong with the line. ISP seem to fix it for a day or so then back to usual *rap. _________________ JO911B.

I'm sure my PC is targeted; anytime I go anywhere near serious Israeli crimes, I get probs.
But with RT, I suspect it is general, which is why I put the question out.
Have you found RT is extremely slow to load? _________________ 'And he (the devil) said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them'. Luke IV 5-7.

List of Demonetized YouTube stars

About Michael Tyler
Owner and main contributor to the site.
Written by Michael Tyler September 29, 2017
Google’s latest move is to censor online content moving through it’s various channels; search, video which is ‘controversial’.
You can see it in black and white above.
This site, and other onliners such as WSWS have experienced exclusion from the index, or severe penalties. On the other side of the fence, in the world of YouTube, many publishers whose livelihood is based on the forum through and it’s many subscribers, have found content ‘demonetized’.
Even posters whose content has nothing to do with controversy, light entertainment channels may find they’re getting censored if they don’t present their information in the right way.
In many cases Google is simply targetted the individuals. Removing their content wholesale, whether it’s breaching guidelines or not.
Judgement has been cast
Google refused to monetize my YouTube content many years ago. They said I was running a ‘click-scam’, the truth is, Google Adwords only pays publishers for a PERCENTAGE of the click-thru’s they get on their site. Some clicks don’t get registered at all. When you’re making money from BILLIONS of clicks a day, that’s a lot of money.
I know this, having been a publisher since 2003/2004 when Adwords first came out and I started running the program. I ran it for over 7 years…. Anyway, another story…..

Jehovah’s witness dissecting teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses, as well as new developments, keep on top of the latest propaganda released by Watchtower by way of video rebuttals.
Partially demonetized.
Perhaps the most disturbing of these is comedy channel, Ownage Pranks; the others may be seen to be inciting controversy through ‘taking a view’. He described his experience below.
‘Cracking down’
Ownage Pranks owner sheds a little light on the information given from his ‘Google insider’ that suggests that many of the decisions are ‘algorithm’, or A1 driven.
Jim Stone, the investigative conspiracy supremo, claims that Google uses a tool such as this perspectiveapi.com.
A1 Censorship vs Human Censorship
perspectiveapi.com is a software that users can get a free test account, it’s basically a A1 program that automatically vets user generated content for ‘toxicity‘, giving it a score in percentage terms.
You can move this score up and down, and ban or allow comments on this basis.
Where YouTuber’s videos are being demonetized on a ‘case by case’ basis, such as Ownage Pranks, it’s clear from his video that the video’s are censored using automated technology. Individual uploads being affected by something as arbitrary as the thumbnail image, or the name of the subtitle file.
Demonetizing whole YouTube channels
As well as this, Google’s closing whole channels for business. Like Dave Rubin and Jaclyn Glenn.
Although many people are saying the A1 is responsible for this, I’d think it unlikely.
Google censors are sitting down with a list of information given by the A1, looking at words, phrases , content and images in that channel’s video collection. That information in hand, watching a handful of most viewed content from the channel, then deciding based on some set of arbitrary discrimination rules, whether that channel is ‘controversial’ or ‘non-controversial’.
Government directives
It’s very likely these rules take into account directives from central government. The Conservative Party manifesto reveals a darker, divisive, authoritarian form of information censorship which supports the governments views and viewpoints, where supporters are rewarded and detractors punished.
The text of the manifesto talks of ‘cracking down’ on Google where the UK Government’s demands are not being met.
Again, it’s all very chilling stuff.
Search and YouTube
It’s no different, they’re two sides of the same coin, GOOGLE.
If Google’s cracking down on controversial video‘s, it’s cracking down on controversial websites. The two go hand in hand.
When we want to look at the drivers of that crackdown, we need to be looking at Governments. Governments and big business, as Theresa May points out in her manifesto, government needs to be looking out for the ‘advertising revenues’ of those organisations loyal to the establishment

'YouTube has changed its secretive search algorithms in response to the spread of conspiracy theory videos about the mass shooting in Las Vegas.
The home-video behemoth came under fire in the wake of the shooting, when several unsubstantiated claims made their way into the top new results about the massacre. Videos such as "Proof Las Vegas Shooting Was a FALSE FLAG attack—Shooter on 4th Floor" made it into the “Top News” section on Tuesday, just two days after the shooting occured, according to the Wall St Journal.
But YouTube has since changed its search algorithms to promote more reputable news, a source close to the company told The Independent. The changes had been planned for months, the source added, but were moved up in the wake of the shooting.
By Friday, the top ten results for “Las Vegas shooting” all came from news outlets, or contained direct uploads of footage from the event.
But the company is still working on its “Up Next” feature, which suggests related content to watch at the end of a video, according to the Journal. On Friday, watching a video titled “Las Vegas Shooting: 6 QUESTIONS - False Flag? Multiple Shooters? Paddock patsy?” lead to suggested videos like “A False Flag Patsy Event Is Unfolding Before Our Eyes” and “CNN Crisis Actor Caught Red Handed”.
YouTube uses secret algorithms to determine which videos appear in its “Top News” and “Up Next” section. The company has said publicly that it factors in a video’s popularity and a user’s history when choosing which videos to display, but has declined to reveal more.
The company says it regularly deletes videos flagged for violating its community guidelines. These guidelines cover everything from nudity to child endangerment, but do not discuss conspiracy theories or unverifiable claims. YouTube declined to provide details to The Independent on its standards regarding conspiracy theories.
The company told the Guardian, however, that a video called “Las Vegas ‘Shooting’ … Did It Actually Happen?” did not violate its standards. The video – which questions whether the shooting was “faked” by paid actors – had amassed almost 350,000 views by Friday morning.
The company did pull the aforementioned video calling the shooting a “false flag attack," however. YouTube also gave the creator's account a penalty strike. Accounts that receive more than three strikes are terminated.
The video’s creator, Jake Morphonios, claimed the clip garnered 2.5m views before it was deleted. He pushed back against the video's deletion, saying he was simply offering an opinion.
“I’m not presenting myself as mainstream media,” Mr Morphonios told the Journal. “I’m just a guy with a computer offering an opinion. And to be punished for that is, well, it’s draconian'.
Re that latest sentence, the WSJ MADE IT UP, and had to apologise - see the guy's 'Comment':
'The Wall Street Journal reporter did not print what I actually said. I did not suggest that I'm a "nobody" with a computer. I explained that I am a professional investigator with decades of investigative experience. THAT was conveniently left out of the WSJ article because it didn't fit the reporter's agenda.
Also, if you look up the WSJ article, you will find at the bottom of the page that the WSJ had to retract a quote that the reporter fabricated and attributed to me.
The WSJ article demonstrates why people do not trust the MSM anymore. These reporters have political agendas and do not report facts. After 30 minutes of trying to get me to agree that I'm not an authoritative source, the WSJ outright lied and made up a quote of me saying that I "know" I'm not authoritative like the mainstream media. After I threatened to sue for libel, the Wall St. Journal admitted publicly that it faked a quote.' _________________ 'And he (the devil) said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them'.

NEWS YouTube censors epidemiologist Knut Wittkowski for opposing lockdown By Jon Levine May 16, 2020 | 1:10pm  Dr. Knut WittkowskiHelayne Seidman Sign up for our special edition newsletter to get a daily update on the coronavirus pandemic. Big Tech companies are aggressively tamping down on COVID-19 “misinformation” — opinions and ideas contrary to official pronouncements. Dr. Knut M. Wittkowski, former head of biostatistics, epidemiology and research design at Rockefeller University, says YouTube removed a video of him talking about the virus which had racked up more than 1.3 million views. Wittkowski, 65, is a ferocious critic of the nation’s current steps to fight the coronavirus. He has derided social distancing, saying it only prolongs the virus’ existence and has attacked the current lockdown as mostly unnecessary. Wittkowski, who holds two doctorates in computer science and medical biometry, believes the coronavirus should be allowed to achieve “herd immunity,” and that short of a vaccine the pandemic will only end after it has sufficiently spread through the population. “With all respiratory diseases, the only thing that stops the disease is herd immunity. About 80% of the people need to have had contact with the virus, and the majority of them won’t even have recognized that they were infected,” he says in the now-deleted video. “I was just explaining what we had,” Wittkowski told The Post of the video, saying he had no idea why it was removed. The footage was produced by the British film company Journeyman Pictures. “They don’t tell you. They just say it violates our community standards. There’s no explanation for what those standards are or what standards it violated.” In articles and interviews across the web, he has likened COVID-19 to a “bad flu.” That likely made him a target for YouTube, which said in April it would be “removing information that is problematic” about the pandemic.
