Hmmm.  I had a visiting friend use my computer a few times when I was at work "to check their emails" a couple of years ago.  After that, for a fair old while, I kept getting really rather (very) odd-looking oriental porn recommendations. 

I ignored it and, happily, it seems to have cleared up.  But it was touch and go for a while.

Yeah this is why you should always visit your sauce sites in incognito mode, Buelligan.

Ugh.

Doubt it though, they don't care.

They don't care about anything but votes and money.  Internet clicks do not equate to votes and UKIP even without Farage have made certain plays for some middle ground voters relying mainly on their fascination of Brexit at all costs and unthinking fears about the Muslims.

Cuellar

The thing with sargon is you see him pop up and say some things about the left, maybe women, maybe Muslims too but I'm always left with absolutely no impression, just blank. Whatever can he want? Apart from a dubious celebrity of course.

He strikes me as someone with no real opinions at all, he just says things. Incoherent things mainly, so what is he doing?

imitationleather

When he refers to himself as a comedian it is pretty funny, though.

What's this top chat replay that's appeared where the recommendations usually go? I have a plugin which hides the comments on YouTube videos, but the fuckers seem to have popped up there instead, the cunts.

Barry Admin

It was originally a live stream, so it replays the comments that were posted at the time when you watch the archive.

touchingcloth

Ah yes. The comments are somehow less unhinged than the BTL ones used to be. This guy is weak - imagine being on his side.

Robinson's point seems to be that he is taking the power of the word away by making shit jokes about it. I am not sure it is really his place to do that, especially in the face of all the people telling him it isn't working

His other point seems to be that it doesn't matter if loads of people are offended if a few definitely not imaginary people thank him for it. Surely there is a weighing up to be done there better good and bad outcomes that he seems to have not considered

And his "I have been sexually assaulted actually. Bet you didn't think I was going to say that? Would you ask a woman that question?" is such bullshit. Of course that question would be asked of someone making rape jokes.

Dr Rock

He's also using 'my wife was raped' as a justification.

Yes, if Katie Hopkins had said to Phillips "I wouldn't even ask Sargon of Akkad to rape you" then people would definitely ask her if she'd ever been raped herself.

He just referred to Trump as "the absolute god emperor" in the interview I'm listening to. What an absolute milker.

Yeh. Anyway, this is so much bigger than the descent of the BBC. Milkshake terrorism. A crime that beiges and racists can unite against.

It's absolutely a waheyyy of relief. He's a cunt, and it's nice when cunts lose.

He may be done in politics, but the damage he's caused to my YouTube recommendations will be eternal.

Stranger things have happened, especially in low-turnout elections like these.

I'm pleased that he has to fuck off back to youtube - wanking in the dark, being laughed at by Joe Public, and flinching for the rest of his life at the sight of milkshake.

Buelligan

Hasn't his reach been demonetised by Youtube (or will they return his right to turn a profit from hate-mongering)?  Imagine if he has to become one of the working class, he won't have any time to make his lovely videos.

Dr Rock

He got demonetized and de-Patreoned in the last year, both for breaking hate speech rules.

Dr Rock

Schadenfreude is something I usually avoid, but in Carl's case I'll make an exception. Especially now that he tried to seek political office spouting more islamophobia in his campaign than Rommy Tobinson did. I found this estimate of how much money Sargon was making

https://naibuzz.com/much-money-sargon-akkad-makes-youtube-net-worth/
QuoteHOW MUCH MONEY DOES SARGON OF AKKAD EARN ON YOUTUBE?

The channel has over 900,000 subscribers as of 2019 and has accumulated over 350 million views so far. In a day, it gets an average of 350,000 views from different sources. This should generate an estimated revenue of around $1,400 per day ($500,000 a year) from the ads that run on the videos.

Sargon generates extra income through his Patreon account where people pledge to support him with a certain amount of money every month. Currently the amount stands at around $8,000 a month.

But then...

https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/5979ax/youtube-has-demonetized-one-of-gamergates-biggest-voices
QuoteThe YouTube channel of Carl "Sargon of Akkad" Benjamin, one of the loudest anti-feminist voices during GamerGate and a recent UKIP candidate for European Parliament, has been demonetised, according to BuzzFeed. His channel, full of lengthy screeds on political correctness, social justice warriors and anti-immigration, has nearly a million subscribers.

YouTube confirmed the BuzzFeed report was accurate, but did not have any additional comment.

wikipedia
QuotePatreon banned Benjamin in December 2018, when he was earning over US$12,000 a month.[3] According to Patreon, Benjamin violated the site's rules on hate speech by using "racial and homophobic slurs to degrade another individual."[13][14] As part of their explanation for why they dropped Benjamin, Patreon published a transcript of a YouTube video in which Benjamin stated that members of the alt-right were "acting like white n**gers" because "[e]xactly how you describe black people acting is the impression I get dealing with the Alt-Right." He added that "White people are meant to be polite and respectful to one another."[15] In response, Benjamin has said that his targets were not black or homosexual, and he claimed that the word "n**ger" is not as offensive in Britain as it is in the United States.

Hmm, pretty sure that's not true Carl. Anyway I don't know if he's found another way of generating income. Certainly not getting that sweet £80k a year as an MEP he might have deluded himself into thinking he'd have if his internet fame might have translated into, you know, votes.

Both Sargon and Stevie Yaxo claiming they were sabotaged by social media bans.
