I know I’ve seen it before, I just can’t remember where.

So say someone who wants to start a YouTube channel and uses the same username and shows their face would be putting themselves at a huge risk then?
That was a serious question btw
Potentially. Depends on what you say and how vindictive someone is feeling. Considering the timing, it seems to me that it may have been done by intelligence agencies to track extremism.
I’ve said some pretty red pilled things on here. I’m not worried about the government, I’m worried about some left wing radical who has a bone to pick doing some “independent research” and doxing me, killing any potential growth.
People have been canceled on YouTube for seemingly less.
I think the risk is pretty low, but I'd consider simultaneously growing your channel on other platforms. YouTube has gotten pretty bad anyway, particularly with monetisation, so multiple platforms is probably a smart idea regardless. Choosing a different name is also a good idea.
I plan on uploading on Rumble as well, as I’ve seen them post ads on YouTube vids marketing themselves at the “free speech” video site, so it’s popularity is on the rise. I’ve just grown really attached to this username, I’ve used it a lot in the past, which hasn’t always been the smart thing, but it’s an online persona thing. Maybe I can ask ChatGPT to give me some similar name ideas, even though it’s cucked now.
I’ve actually been doxxed before on Reddit when The_Donald was still a thing, they found my Twitter account that had the same username and my real name, made up a pdf file with my LinkedIn profile attached, my face and a few other things, and sent it to potential jobs I might’ve applied for in my degree field, and even mailed it to my parents address. Scary stuff, got me pretty paranoid these days.
