I can't exactly say when it started, but since a few days there are suddenly banner ads everywhere and on YouTube even controversial stuff has now commercial breaks. The skeptic community, Pewdiepie and a lot of other content that is usually described as "toxic" does now have ads. Even Tim Pool has ads on his content again.
This looks like a major change.
Even The Ad-Blocker Doesn't Block Content Anymore
After some websites had their "Ad-Block exception" and others managed to write scripts to make it completely useless, it seems now as if Google too is engaging in the open fight against the add-on.
In fact the first time I realized the change I was on an German blog with non-mainstream views that uses google adsense. I suspected since a while that the Ad-Blocker is secretly blocking the ads on non-conforming sites to hurt their income. So, even if you switch it off on sites you like as I do it, they can't get any revenue.
But apparently that too is now gone. The only things of the Ad-Blocker that still seem to be active is the sound and pop-up blocking function.
Are We About To See A Major Shift In The Public Debate? Was Damore Successful?
You are surely familiar with the case of former Google engineer James Damore, who wrote a memo that was non-conforming with todays left-progressive views and got fired for that. Internally, Damore had a lot of supporters among the Google staff and despite the apparent leftwing bias of the Google bosses, maybe they actually managed to force the company to change the attitude towards non-left opinions.
And after all, with its products Google is such a big player with a tremendous amount of (real-time) information that they probably realized that they are losing. And not just productive and innovative employees like Damore, but the fight for the public attention, because it is this what drives a capital accumulator like Google.
Personally, I've tested various alternatives to Google (and Facebook, Twitter etc.) products in the past months and I am very sure, many others have done so too:
- Qwant instead of Google
- Twitch, Vimeo and DTube instead of YouTube
- Yandex (or another of the myriad E-Mail providers) instead of Google
- Minds and Steemit instead of Facebook
- Gab instead of Twitter
.. and so on. The list is long and even if it is just 2% of all consumers who looked around, you must not forget that those are the 2% of the most innovative and first-adopting users who go ahead and then the crowd follows.
I am certain, they know that in San Francisco, too, and now it seems as if they've pulled the plug on the most corrosive of their ideology programs.

- They are still very powerful and deeply embedded in the upper hierarchy of all our institutions in the west.
- There are also numerous very rich people who are more than willing to fund the revolution (Soros, that one ABBA guy, Eastern Germany's gold etc).
- The degradation process has already advanced. I'd say it's stage 3 cancer, which means we might have passed the point of no return.
- During the past decades (and partly before) about a dozen of major problems have been created financially, politically and socially. Every single one of them is basically a generations work to clean up again.
- We know that asymmetric warfare a.k.a. terror is very simple and effective and the left extremists know how to do that, they don't have a conscience and they also how to pull off false flags
This means that even if the left-progressive wave may have peaked, it is almost certain that in the next decade or two, we all will be shaken through fundamentally.
