Friends, I need your help. I am being censored by Google again, but this time instead of taking it down, YouTube is throttling the hell out of my Prison Problem video. This is a very important message, so please, please help me fight Google's political censorship by sharing this video, which is about protecting both women AND trans people, with your friends, family, and loved ones.
Here’s a direct link to make it easy for you.

In the image, you can see video stats from less than one day vs 4 days 17hrs. I don't have a 24hr shot, the only reason I even have this one is because I couldn’t believe how fast the views, were coming in. I sent this to my husband, comparing the speed/volume of the views to my Harmony Montgomery video.
On day one, the Prison Problem video received over 500 views, over 40 comments and over 60 likes. Over the 48 hours following that, it received 8 views. As I am writing this article, the video has been up for 4 days 17 hours, and has 562 views.
Since being published to YouTube, only 25% of my 562 views came from YouTube, where I allegedly have just under 11,000 subscribers… and 25% also came from Twitter, where I have about 130 followers. Another 25% came from the Signal app… where I only texted it to a few people.
This is what throttling looks like.
It is not being shown to people, and is not being seen. The more the initial interest, the more visible it should become. That's how the algorithm works... except when Google throttles your visibility down as a form of “soft” censorship. Elon Musk has similar ideas, and has said, “freedom of speech, not freedom of reach,” but if your reach is being suppressed, your speech is not free.
How can you have freedom of speech if no one can hear what you have to say? It's like locking someone in a soundproof room. Sure, you can still talk, but no one can hear you. They want to silence me without giving me hard evidence to be able to show what they've done with a video takedown, but I will not be tricked, and I will not be silenced.
Love this “but if your reach is being suppressed, your speech is not free”. So glad you are not willing to be tricked or suppressed! Keep persevering & fighting for freedom of speech! Glad you’re closely monitoring the algorithms to see when you’re being censored! Frustrating for sure, but you’re fighting the good fight for freedom of speech! Way to go & keep up the good fight!
