With every update, tweak, and clarification that YouTube has pushed out in the last 48 hours, they drive more harassment and vitriol against LGBT creators. "YouTube's new policies are pro-censorship. which posts supercut compilations of internet news and drama. Despite that fact, they backpedaled later once the social media pressure was too much," said Antonio Chavez, who runs the Memology101 channel. "They supported Crowder at first because he didn't violate any guidelines. The ads would be reinstated after Crowder made changes to his channel, including the removal of a "Socialism is for F*gs" T-shirt on his website. On Tuesday, the Team YouTube Twitter account wrote that while the company "found language that was clearly hurtful, the videos as posted don't violate our policies." The next day, YouTube reversed its stance and announced Crowder's channel would be demonetized. Maza's thread went viral, and public pressure led to a YouTube response. "YouTube knows that if they were to start cracking down on hate speech and harassment in political videos, they'd never stop." "Bigotry and tribalism and bullying is really engaging, and triggers our natural us vs them impulses," Maza told Newsweek after he wrote the initial Twitter thread. Crowder used homophobic language towards Maza, calling him a "lispy queer," on his YouTube show "Louder with Crowder." Maza noted on Twitter that Crowder had broken YouTube's Terms of Service, which prohibits "content that makes hurtful and negative personal comments/videos about another person." These changes come amid an ongoing dispute between Vox journalist Carlos Maza and conservative commentator Steven Crowder.
