De-Google-ized

It has been about a good year or so that Google has been demonetize many content creators.  These content creators have been demonetized for controversial topics.  Many YouTuberers had to change their revenue strategy over the course of months.  Many of them had gone over to Patreon and some of them had even drop Patreon due to political incorrectness.  Google/YouTube and other left leaning businesses have been really pushing for this type of censorship.  So, what is a Voluntaryist Response to this?  It is to respect the rights of Google and Patreon to be as leftist loonies as much as they want.  That being said, I will no longer be using most of the Google services due to the fact that they are clearly picking leftist radicals over many of the other various viewpoints.  I have been saying that one can't put all their revenue stream into one platform.  Have at least two or three types of revenue streams.  There has been continue fall out of YouTubers of thinking that they won't be demonetized because of their topics.  The whole "micro-aggression" that is being claimed or some kind of version of it being thrown into various YouTubers that don't even talk about controversial topics.  If it offends somebody it should be demonetized, well, that is basically every YouTuber.  Now what is going to happen is that the established YouTube channels will be making direct deals with YouTube to protect their videos from being demonetized.  Someone has pointed out that YouTube is becoming a snow flake website and sooner or later everyone else that isn't part of the YouTube establishment would be the ones making money off of YouTube ads.  I kind of for saw some of this coming and have made plans in accordance to the possibility of Google canceling my account.  That being said, I don't have much of a presence on YouTube and after this, I won't be planning on to.  One could continue to upload but now should have an expectation that they won't be making any money on it.  I won't be closing my account at Google anytime soon but have decided to keep both Google account technically active and making Proton Mail as my primary email service.  I have seriously thought about De-Googling myself for sometime but I didn't have a "push" until now.  The reason why I still keep my account technically active over at Google for sometime is their might be a change later down in the road if they do too much of the leftist radical pandering.

I do have to clarify here I'm not really talking about the left in general but the leftist radicals are given a pass while more "rational" leftists and conservatives and libertarians have all been hit with some kind of demonetization.  Some more than others and a lot of libertarians saw this coming and some conservatives.  This is why one must have their own website that they own and operate or at least have it in place of that just in case their main revenue stream gets reduced.  Unless they are making the bulk of their revenue on their own platform (website), then they won't have to worry about it.
