I didn't notice you there So, if you're in the crypto space you've probably heard news
going around about the whole thing with google, facebook, twitter.
They're all announcing that they're going to be banning cryptocurrency ads.
Now obviously this is big news but I'm going to kind of come at you more from the conspiracy
side of things with what I've dug up, and it does seem like this reach is much further
than just cryptocurrency ads.
It's getting down to the point of organic content, and as people in the crypto community
this is something you need to be concerned about and were going to talk about that today.
Okay, so as I mentioned before, the media giants out there have all announced at this
point that they're going to be targeting cryptocurrency ads.
But being somebody that's in the crypto space, we post on multiple different platforms; twitter,
facebook, instagram, all those.
And one thing that became glaringly obvious very early on is that this "ban" is not restrictive
to ads.
It is a blatant ban on content relating to blockchain and crypto, far beyond this kind
of "ICO/save the consumer from themselves" type perspective that the media giants are
trying to put out there.
So, the first one I'm really going to talk about is twitter.
They supposedly just start doing this, I believe it was the 28th when they put the official
announcement out there.
Twitter is the most interesting one for us, because with all the other ones where there's
a lot of guesswork going on, people saying "oh we're seeing this, oh we're seeing that".
Twitter is simple, it's very straight forward for us.
So essentially we use scripts to transfer over our instagram posts to twitter.
And our guy that runs some of our social media pages also runs a number of other pages.
And something that we had pointed out to us is that all these other pages that he is running,
they're posting just fine, hashtags are going through, you can put hashtags right there
on the post, it feeds through the script, it appears there.
What we noticed is right here around march 5th was the last time that we had had a successful
posting on twitter.
You can see right here we had this one (march 5th) and then there's this gap from march
th to march 8th and then once again all the way out from march 8th until the 18th.
So youre talking about two entire weeks that out content was not being pushed to twitter.
And for the life of us we couldn't figure it out.
We dove in, and we realized that the moment we went through and removed our cryptocurrency
and blockchain related hashtags from the initial posts they immediately went through.
So that was red flag number one.
No matter what they can try and deny we saw it with our own eyes, you include crypto or
blockchain hashtags and twitter is using an API to filter us right out from even being
able to post.
Okay, so obviously twitter was kind of the easiest to touch on, because there's no ifs,
ands, or buts.
We saw it with our own eyes, they're clearly blocking hashtags.
But facebook is kind of an interesting one because they were the first one to come out
and announce it.
Now for us, I think obviously facebook has been struggling with a lot of different issues.
I mean look what they have going on right now with the whole data breach, in terms of
massive amounts, 50 million users data being collected�.and that was over two years,
ago.
Facebook never said a word until somebody else figured it out and brought into the public
eye.
So do you really think ist beyond facebook and zuckerberg to go and bury something like
this, and just not tell their user base?
This is what they've become notorious for, they hide the data they don't want you to
see, they sell the data of yours that's useful.
This is what they do guys, its not beyond them.
But on our end like I said facebook is kind of the side issue.
Instagram is really one of the platforms we hit the space hard with and facebook is relevant
to that because they did have a merger/acquisition over instagram and they now own instagram.
So one of the things that we saw with our instagram page that was just glaringly obvious
is that we interact with nobody but cryptocurrency people on that page.
I mean, Bitcoin, ethereum, these are the tags, these are the hashtags that we interact with.
Nothing else, that is what we do.
And one of the most obvious things was, we hopped onto our explore feed one day and it
was like somebody had just flipped a switch and all of the sudden the cryptocurrency flow
had just completely stopped.
Our explore feed is nothing but watches, luxury, and lifestyle things now.
It is literally difficult to find something about Bitcoin from a page that's centered
around Bitcoin.
And we wanted to make sure it wasn't just us so we actually reached out to a few of
the other hard hitting instagram pages.
We're going to show you some screenshots they sent over from their explore pages as well.
It really says something when your talking about a number of pages where we've got well
over hundreds of thousands of followers between us and none of us are seeing anything cryptocurrency
related when that's exactly what our pages are about.
You know guys, something stinks.
It would've made a little more sense if things had just filtered out but it was just like
we woke up one morning and crypto was gone, it was like they just decided they didn't
want us to see it, they flipped the switch, and they're cutting the info flow.
So the kind of last major group were going to talk about is google.Which really, when
we talk about google, you can't think of google as just google.
Google is a subsidiary of alphabet inc which owns all of the different google projects,
youtube is under that umbrella.
But the thing that's really important with the google/alphabet inc issue is they said
that they were going to be blocking the ads come June...Clearly, from what we've seen
with search results, what we've seen with our own results for our personal pages popping
up and things like that, obviously the filtering is already happening and obviously the reach
is much more than ads they're cutting out organic content.
One of the things that I think is important to point is that those of us that were growing
up in the 90s/early 2000s we remember a time when google's main thing was about information
freedom.
And I think those of us that saw that initial google entity as it was and have seen what
its become have realized they really mad a transfer of going from this open source ideal
to just becoming this kind of ultimate data broker.
At this point google's goal is to control the data that's out there, and the control
of that data gives them a massive amount of power.
And the reason I think this is so important is that if we look at a list of mergers/acquisitions
under alphabet inc going back to 2016...While google is sitting here saying they're blocking
blockchain and cryptocurrency ads to protect the consumers, we can actually see that they've
been buying up cryptocurrency and blockchain inspired companies and projects.
And they've been doing this since 2016.
Do you really think they're against something this revolutionary and they're shutting it
out?
This is just my opinion but personally I think it's pretty transparent.
I look and I say they're trying to control the flow of information, they're buying upop
these blockchain projects an they're trying to bury it just long enough that they can
come in from left field with googlechain or whatever they decide to call it.
Because they did announce they're thinking about a blockchain.
This is not about blockchain being bad, this is about them trying to capitalize on it and
force everyone out.
Now along with that like I said, alphabet inc is the umbrella company and one of the
projects under them is obviously youtube.
This is another one that was big for us that was very easy to notice.
So that last post we had on twitter before everything went awry was right around march
5th, which was the same time that our last video on youtube went up that did really well.
Historically, usually the first day or two we see at least a thousand views for anything
we post, and that goes back to when we first started the channel.
Im talking back when we had less than one hundred to two hundred subscribers.
Even the first couple days you're still talking about hundreds and hundreds of hits.
What was really eye opening (were going to open up the youtube channel here).
We went from our most recent video that pulled in about three thousand views, it did relatively
well; and then we had this hit that we took�.And we went from three thousand views average,
to now were actually seeing three hundred views in a week.
Its unprecedented.
We literally haven't seen views this low since we started the channel and we're twenty five
time the size we were then.
Something is up guys, they say they're not enacting any of this yet, they say it's just
ads.
But look at the facts.
The numbers don't lie.
These companies are notorious for selling your data, they're notorious for basically
manipulating that data and using it so their advertisers can capitalize on what you're
interested in.
Don't think that it ends there guys.
They are trying to push as many buttons with this crypto things as possible.
They want to capitalize on it, they absolutely do want the little guys having any say in
this.
And you know, it's not just us.
We looked at a number of the other bigger crypto channels on youtube.
You know, someone like crypt0news isn't going to take as much of hit because of how popular
he i, but you can look and see that even his videos have seen a marked decrease in the
traffic.
And you know, they can say what they want; but it's pretty obvious to those of us that
are in the space.
No matter who argues and says it hasn't started, whoever says just just ads�.it's just not
true guys.
This is an all out war, they realize that this is something that threatens they're platform,
they're point of power and it's going to be a real struggle over the next year.
Personally weve been looking at steemit, were actually looking at Dtube which is an alternative
to youtube that incentivizes the uploaders, its decentralized, people have the ability
to vote to have content removed, there's no moderation by some unseen power that's just
going to flip a switch and say you can't post this.
With all of the controversy with facebook, with what twitter, what google, what youtube
are doing right now, I think that 2018 is going to be a big year for people looking
for new outlets where they're not being stifled by these media giants that are essentially
wielding they're place that we helped them get to, as a way to kind of shut down their
user base.
So you know, if you're interested into getting into an environment where your not going to
have your content controlled by someone out there; please, I really suggest looking at
steemit, I suggest looking at dtube.
Look at these decentralized options.
If you're into blockchain, one of the driving things about this is decentralization and
putting the power back in the hands of the people using the networks.
Twitter, Facebook, Google, they have all proved to us that they don't have the interests of
their consumer base in mind.
We need people that have us in mind.
Stay sharp guys, it's a war out there.
Have a good one.
