It’s time to delete my channel and start rebuilding something that can’t be constantly banned by YouTube. If you’d like to contribute to some of the costs of the website, app, and hosting for the new platform, you can chip in here:
GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/david-wood…
GiveSendGo: https://www.givesendgo.com/DavidWoodA…

A modest proposal to Dr. Wood. Why not just keep posting on youtube and whenever they ban a video from you, simply put it up on a different platform and then make notes for your viewers to go to the other platform. That will bring a steady stream of viewers to other platforms and away from youtube, causing them to lose money. When enough creators do that, youtube will lose lots of money and they will start acting within the bounds of reason, rather than totalitarian jerks which their censors truly are.
Infidel says
He addresses it in the video. Watch the video!

See this video by Apostate Prophet. David’s work is very effective on youtube.
born saturday says
we will follow you and robert wherever you happen to post videos and articles david!!!!
have no doupt!!!
gofundme though might as well block your funds… it has done so to the protesters in canada…
so maybe time to look for a new funds website too
i wish you continue posting videos and you are healthy and well forever to do so
as well as robert….
Infidel says
He did provide the GiveSendGo site as well. But I agree: I wouldn’t trust GoFundMe, so I wouldn’t have used that as a channel to receive money. The last thing you wanna do is a wellwisher giving you money and GoFundMe stealing it from between

David Wood video: I’m deleting my channel (NOT A JOKE)
……………
I hope that David Wood can make a go of it with his dedicated video channel–just so saddened that he has to.
And yes–the idea that opposing trafficking of young girls, “Honor Killings” of women, and the murder of cartoonists is *hate speech* could not be more grotesque–but this happens on YouTube all the time. You can’t even say anything *against ISIS*.
Death threats are fine–but saying that death threats are a bad thing is “hate speech”.
Bizarro world.
Black Sabbath says
Youtube is a jihadi institution and it bans those who criticize islam. However, islamic terrorist can post anything against anyone, YouTube has no issue with that. We need to find a normal platform for free speech and truth.
gravenimage says
I admit I am nervous–but if anyone can pull this off, it’s David Wood. I’ll follow him to any channel he sets up!
Infidel says
David
I was hoping that you’d put a link to wherever you are headed, even if it is a site that currently says “Under Construction”, so that one could bookmark it, or leave an open floating tab to that site
I posted a couple of comments today morning in response to that video. To recap the points I made:
‣ Which cloud/web hosting service are your platforms using? Please make sure that it’s not any of the current woke platforms, be it AWS, Google, Azure, GoDaddy… Find out a cloud platform that is either genuinely neutral or aligned w/ your views, and then put your new installations there
‣Another downside of leaving this channel up, rather than deleting it, is that it could potentially attract new YouTube viewers who wouldn’t know where to follow you once they were done viewing your past content. Other reason: why empower YouTube? If there are people who come to YouTube solely to see your channel, they won’t come to YouTube any more. If more and more entities on the Right do this, the Marxists and YouTube lose their power
‣ Sorry to hear about all the family issues you’ve been having. I wish them all well
As for your new setup, I wish it well, and congratulate you for doing this. This was long overdue, like the abused girlfriend in the relationship
Infidel says
Oh, the other point I forgot – lost it in the comments – is that the Exodus is not exactly a parallel analogy to quitting YouTube. In the real Exodus, the Hebrews had to spend years in the desert before they reached the promised land. In this virtual Exodus, it’s just a case of directing your browser to whichever new site one uses, which takes anything from a few seconds to a minute. All your loyal subscribers should be able to follow it
To that end, it’s good to have a distributed system, where you host your videos on a myriad range of platforms – Bitchute, Rumble, DailyMotion, et al. That way, even if a video is thumped on one of them, it will still be there on the others
Joyce says
Stop patronizing evil youtube and use a video platform that doesn’t censor, LIKE BRIGHTEON!! Easy solution!
Infidel says
He should distribute his stuff on a variety of platforms, be it Brighteon, Rumble, Bitchute, DailyMotion and a whole lot more. As well as (ideally) have his own platform where he decides what goes there or not.
Ade Fegan says
Contrary to popular opinion, I suspect the “authorities” want us to know the truth about Islam but they will only let that happen through the back door .. They like to be seen to be stamping out criticism of Islam .. but if that’s really what they wanted, they could end that in a heart beat …. Think about that for a minute
gravenimage says
Depends what you mean by “authorities”. YouTube can only deal with those on YouTube, and gets a lot of bad publicity when they ban people outright–that’s why they just keep censoring individual videos and then eventually restoring them if they are challenged–death by a thousand cuts.
As for the government, there is such a thing as the First Amendment. They might be able to crush criticism of Islam outright, but they would have to eviscerate the First Amendment and also prevent anyone else from being voted in who disagreed. Turning the US or any Western nation into a full, outright dictatorship would not actually be that easy. Eroding freedom of speech is, though.
