In the Tuesday, January 23 edition of “” we read that YouTube has removed 11 materials posted on Grzegorz Braun’s profile. The recordings were deemed to violate the site’s community guidelines. As a consequence, as noted, the politician is at risk of completely losing the profile he has built over the years.
Braun has built quite a following. He even managed to rap
And the numbers on Braun’s channel look impressive. 150 thousand subscribers and 1.3 thousand posted videos – these are only the most important ones. Some of the films even reach 300,000. views. Well, “every amateur has her own monster.” In this respect, a record-breaking recording is made in which a former member of parliament from the 10th term of the Sejm rapped as part of the Hot16Challenge online campaign. It gathered as many as 1.3 million YouTube viewers.
In total, the total number of views the account has accumulated reaches 33.5 million, and most of the materials include Braun’s statements from the parliamentary podium, his interviews and political comments. All this may disappear from the website forever because the administrator decided to take action. It might seem that deleting 11 videos is not much, but “Rzeczpospolita” points out that “according to YouTube rules, “receiving three warnings within 90 days will result in permanent removal of your channel from YouTube.” It is worth mentioning that in the right-wing part of the Internet there is no this would be the first such case.
He wouldn’t be the first. YouTube has already lost control of extreme content in Poland
In the summer of 2022, YouTube already removed wRealu24, a far-right account known primarily for the performances of publicist Marcin Rola. A moment later, National Media, launched in 2017 by the then head of the Independence March Association, Robert Bąkiewicz, disappeared. Yes, the same one who posed as an assistant to one of the United Right MPs in the TVP building at ul. Woronicza December 20. last year
Those actions of the YouTube administration towards the channel related to Rola were preceded by numerous reports of the anti-fascist “Never Again” Association. This decision was justified by, among others, attacking immigrants and Jews, questioning the coronavirus pandemic and sniffing out a global conspiracy caused by Jewish activities and the “collusion” of the largest pharmaceutical concerns. According to the association, the profile related to Bąkiewicz was intended to promote anti-Ukrainian and anti-Semitic content, as well as slander national minorities or compare the service of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity to the charity taking place in the Third Reich. In the case of Braun’s channel, the pattern is the same
Losing the channel is not the end of the problems. The end of the “flow” of money?
If the former MP’s channel shared the fate of those mentioned above, it would be quite a blow to him, because he built his reach primarily through it. The financial aspect is also important. In his last parliamentary declarations of assets, Grzegorz Braun indicated income “from copyrights, contracts and copyright royalties as well as broadcasts on the Internet (with advertisements from the YouTube broadcaster)”, entering amounts ranging from PLN 67,000 to PLN 115,000 per year.
