YouTube banned TRUreporting in an attempt to purge channels that the platform claimed were spreading “harmful conspiracy theories.” The 15 year old channel had nearly 217k subscribers and over 23.5 million total views across almost 900 videos.
YouTube just deleted my account without warning. It’s all gone. Everything I’ve worked for. Completely gone.
Time to move back home…

Patreon banned TRUreporting one week later after they started using it as a primary platform following the sudden YouTube ban.
