Youtube the multi billion dollar corp that steals from me

A couple of weeks back the ad sense account linked to my Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR53rN77zIQ1hbuIZfGZDHw showed revenue declining. I don't mean revenue was going down as compared to previous days, accrued revenue in my account was being subtracted. At first just a couple of dollars a day, but now it's $9-$10, so at that pace it won't take long until my entire account is emptied.
During this period my fewer ship has increased substantially, in a 45 day period I gained 3000 subscribers and went from just several hundred views to almost 400,000. Yes I've had a few of my nearly 50 videos demonetized, but actually none of the real blockbuster ones (over 10,000 views) and I've received no community or copyright strikes. So what's going on?
This is exactly what I asked Youtube, repeatedly. At first their answer was analytics and Ad Sense can take a few days to reconcile their numbers, when I pointed out I was talking about a period of weeks, not days, Youtube simply declared the majority of views on my channel invalid.
Invalid why? No further explanation is forthcoming, it would seem, but am I to believe that they believe a small group of highly industrious persons are creating hundreds of thousands of Youtube accounts and writing thousands and thousands of comments on my channel in order to... well to what?
Ok so, perhaps Youtube thinks I'm the scammer, creating fake accounts to scam Ad Sense, but are just too polite to say it. Except by virtue of Youtube's own analytics they can see my traffic comes from the world over, they really think I've set up phantom accounts in Bahrain in order to scam a few pennies from Ad Sense?
Excuse me if I find that one tough to swallow. In the meantime Google (Youtube's parent company), who generated $90 million in revenue last year, which has a market cap of $534 billion, finds it necessary to steal $10 a day out of my account?
Perhaps if things are really that bad I should head over to the Google campus and see if I can buy Larry and Sergey a cup of coffee or something.
But seriously, we know Google is not stealing my Ad Sense money because they need it, they just want to take away any incentive for me to keep creating content that they deem 'wrong think.'
It's sad that the innovators behind Youtube and Google are so threatened by thoughts, ideas, words and images simply because they don't agree with them. It's because they lived in a free world that fostered innovation they were able to create the companies they did, but now want to close the door behind them.
Well, go ahead Larry and Sergey steal money from me, you're not stopping me, you are only sowing the seeds of your own demise.

Elected representative or unelected spooks? Left prefers the latter.

WARSHINGTON The Deep State Targets Trump by Patrick J. Buchanan February 17, 2017 Multiple Pages photo credit: Bigstock When Gen. Michael Flynn was forced to resign as national security adviser, Bill Kristol purred his satisfaction, “If it comes to it, prefer the deep state to the Trump state.” To Kristol, the permanent regime, not the elected president and his government, is the real defender and rightful repository of our liberties. Yet it was this regime, the deep state, that carried out what Eli Lake of Bloomberg calls “The Political Assassination of Michael Flynn.” And what were Flynn’s offenses? In December, when Barack Obama expelled 35 Russian diplomats, Flynn spoke to the Russian ambassador. He apparently counseled the envoy not to overreact, saying a new team would be in place in a few weeks and would review U.S.-Russian relations. “That’s neither illegal nor improper,” writes Lake. Vladimir Putin swiftly declared that ther...

The Romance (and Delusion) of the Super Arrow

Should we build the Avro Arrow (or a modified version called the Super Arrow) instead of buying the beleaguered F-35? The short answer is no. Yes the cancellation of the Avro Arrow in 1959 by blockhead prime minister Diefenbaker was a tragedy for the Canadian aerospace industry. Avro was a Canadian cutting edge industrial giant, they had some of the best aerospace engineers and designers in the world working for them, when the Arrow was cancelled many of them left to work on the U.S space program and helped put the first man on the moon. Now Bourdeau Industries (we assume of Quebec, they don't publish their address) wants Canadian aerospace to go back to the future. They have managed to convince (ret) General Lewis McKenzie (not an airforce general) to be a spokesman for their cause. McKenzie has dutifully made the rounds of Canadian media, who, we should note, are only too happy to jump on stories criticizing military procurement and the Tories. McKenzie, in at least o...

Fake News Sites

There has of late been great media consternation about the proliferation of fake news sites that mislead voters and generally misinform. There is a growing movement within the MSM, college campuses and even at the White House to have these types of news sites banned. Well, as a free speech absolutist I'm not in favour of restricting anyone's right to publish misleading and even downright false information (as long as it's not slandering an individual). However, as a public service, since there is so much concern over 'news' sites like these, I've compiled a list of some of the most egregious fake news sites online. They range from sites that bend stories to fit a certain narrative to others who create elaborate fake stories, or feature opinion writers writing columns that many of today's university students would consider hate speech (such as the Guardian's Julie Bindel advocating putting all men in concentration camps). At any rate consider yourself f...
