(100percentFedUp) On Thursday, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki stepped down after lackluster ad revenue and complaints from top content creators who decried censorship on the platform.
Wojcicki was a proponent of censoring content on YouTube to make it more kid-friendly, though the result often ended with YouTube censoring conservative viewpoints far more than others.
Recently, YouTube got in to a spat with Project Veritas after they released a bombshell video that exposed a top Pfizer researcher who claimed that the company was mutating the Covid-19 virus. YouTube censored the video, causing a war of words between the company and Project Veritas.
Wojcicki will be replaced by Neal Mohan, who was previously the Chief Product Officer of YouTube.
He was considered a ‘top lieutenant of Wojcicki, meaning that YouTube policy will likely not change in the near future.
