Many people have described the shooter as crazy and that her plight should be discounted because of her mental health issues. I decided to do a little digging around into how Youtube treats or scams content creators
1. Google/Microsoft are a major Military Contractor:
It is no different than Boeing or Lockheed Martin which sells missile systems or fighter jets. Here Google or Microsoft sells IT products to the governement which many people do not associate as being 'military' contractor. These are highly customized IT solutions, not just their commercial products (Chromebooks or Google Pixel) worth billions of dollars.
2. The best propaganda is one in which you think the person is expressing their views freely, that are not under some government or corporate command structure. Traditional media outlets have lost their ability to influence because of being exposed towing the line for war or talking about fake news in a coordinated manner.
People believe that content creators on Youtube are independent, when in reality they are highly controlled through various means. Google controls the money, how your video is exposed to other people when it is linked to relevant content, the tabulation of data such as views. Google can artificially increase your views which will generate payment causing more content creators to overwhelm their servers with similar content to cash in on the false interest. It can recommend these videos to you by creating a weak link to something that you looked up in the past.
Google can demonetize or age restrict your video based on some mythical bot. It can report that your views are only 10 people when in the past you have millions of views. This is to discourage you from producing content due to this false lack of interest when you believe nobody is watching your content.
3. As a major military contractor, they will tow the line of the government. Due to a deteriorating relationship with Russia and entering into a military conflict with different objectives. They begin to label their videos in an attempt to discredit their content to viewers; coinciding with President Trump pronouncement requiring RT to register as a foreign agent.
3. Google is a company that has the facade of security. You think the Facebook scandal is bad, Google laxed security and tacit approval to enable the bulk collection of email by the government for billions of people for many years.
They were transporting email between their datacenters unencrypted since the beginning allowing the government to bulk collect everything. Edward Snowden comes out and they finally do something in 2014. You had a HTTPS padlock but your shit was sent unencrypted between their data centers.
HTTPS was only used for the login and not even the email, allowing your ISP, NSA, or employer to see the content of your emails, claiming it would slow down the system. It is no surprise seeing them demonetize videos made by Iranians under command from the government.
4. All of these factors led to Youtube censoring content on behalf of the government. By blocking her content on Youtube which shows her singing to Hall & Oats or Taylor Swift, it is the start of the process to dehumanize Iranians to the American public. An administration openly hostile to Iran and seeking war to prevent their development of a nuclear weapon, rather than inspections.
After President Trump secured the Republican nomination, Google began to cater their content to his positions, to seek future favor from his administration.
