There needs to be a free service that protects the right to expression of those people that have an earnest desire to improve the world even if their views might clash with large companies that buy the ads on free platforms, any local jurisdiction, or with the state that controls most payments in the world.
And where "improve the world" at the same time doesn't involve supporting maniacal & genocidal Nazis, Islamist terrorists, supremacists and laissez faire billionaires that don't give a s**t about anything or anybody but themselves.
A service like this might be too much to hope for in the near future, but nonetheless something I feel we need to be on the lookout for. Many maybe thought that the internet itself was such a service (admittedly many years ago now). This service doesn't seem to haul in that direction either, given the "all or nothing" philosophy that ultimately and unavoidably ends up promoting all of the above mentioned sewage.
Ponder that you have created a mutually exclusive set of requirements here. Some how there must be free expression that is not corrupted by undue external influence but then at the same time something also gets to pick and choose what is acceptable.
I gave up being a pure libertarian a long time ago so I'm very familiar with this argument and the issues related to it.

I don't know why you think anything and everything is allowed into TubeShift. It's not for a number of reasons:
First the channel has to be established on YouTube which inherently limits that channel's amount of extremeness. For it to bubble up into the radar of TubeShift means it's already got an audience and some views. Anything that extreme won't make it that far on YouTube.
Second, I hand curate the list. I've decided to make myself ultimate decider of what does and does not go in there. I can assure you I don't stuff everything into it I can find.
I used to be hard line free speech and anything goes. After being told so many times that no platform owes anyone anything I decided to run with it.
Are you familiar with the concepts of reciprocity and symmetry? I think the leftists are about to get a real world example and they aren't going to like it.
