USWGO YouTube Video views Manipulated and Suppressed by YOUTUBE conducting Shadow Banning Operations; suppressing Brian D. Hill tortured and held hostage by Corrupt Federal Court Videos

Author: Stanley Bolten

It took a lot of days before this can be proven. YouTube is suppressing and shadow banning USWGO YouTube channel in a number of ways. They, referring to the corrupt the Deep State Swamp didn’t like how viral the videos were getting. Videos about (1) Proof that Brian D. Hill; USWGO Alt. News, was TORTURED into Falsely Pleading Guilty – YouTube, (2) Proof that Brian D. Hill; USWGO Alt. News, is INNOCENT, being HELD HOSTAGE by Corrupt Federal Court – YouTube. Usually YouTube viewer suppression, likes suppression, comment suppression, and even YouTube channel subscription/subscriber suppression is an attempt by Big Tech to suppress the viewpoints and perspectives that they don’t like because it doesn’t fit the narratives they want on their platform. They know that outright censorship could lead to the Streisand effect. So shadow banning is the next form of more sinister censorship. It was getting a lot of views, and it still is. It’s just how views can be dropped within thousands or video likes just start mysteriously drop to a lower number, that is when you know the slow and mysterious shadow ban operation is taking place. If it can be documented and proven by taking forensic screenshots at random times each day, it can prove the YouTube view count manipulation. BitChute did censor our videos but then a militia group calling themselves the “Rogue Nation Eternal Militia” uploaded one of those videos to BitChute and so far it has not been censored. So censorship does lead to other people reuploading videos back to a platform which conducted the censorship, it does not work in the long run. That is why pro-censorship controlled platforms use the more sneakier form of censorship known as shadow banning. They don’t delete or remove content, they leave it there but make it more difficult for the content to simply be viewed by different forms of rank manipulation and other forms of manipulation behind the scenes.

The IT folks at YouTube suppress statistics or have conflicting statistics and conflicting analytics because YouTube suppresses viewpoints/perspectives which are found to be advocating political subjects that do not meet the mainstream approved narratives. Anti-Communist videos and videos against the Covid-19 mandatory lockdowns and forced vaccinations are two examples of videos which not all video viewers are counted. Likes can also be removed without warning, comments could become invisible without warning to rid the effectiveness of a “problematic video” campaign or political statements.

YouTube has not been shy about blatantly censoring and deleting all videos concerning the subjects “Alex Jones”, “QAnon”, and “Infowars”. However if they censor over 50% or 60% of all of their videos which would be a major purge and loss of potential advertisement revenue, they risk a mass exodus and end of their bottom line of making money and losing stock holders as well as risking a major profit loss which could lead to bankruptcy. Another form of censorship tactics which appears less invasive to the general YouTube watcher/viewer is shadow banning which is to make videos disappear from search results or push it far back in pages that it may hardly be found as a visible result. Other tactics of shadow banning type of censorship is manipulation of view counts on videos, likes in videos, unsubscribing those who subscribe to a YouTube channel without notifying the user that they been unsubscribed from a channel without notice or warning, and even remove comments or even make comments hidden so that others cannot see the comment. They do this to political videos that they do not like, that they disagree with. Then there are trolls and those who add spam comments or frivolous comments to attack the legitimacy of a video.

The RAW Data is stored at both the Internet Archive and at Mega.co.nz. The RAW Data goes up until the date of August 8, 2021 when the screenshot capturing period stops.

The videos brought up in analyzing this suppression shadow banning operations are of both embedded YouTube videos below:

Here is a sample of how the suppression is happening almost within real time. The tool conducting the forensic screen captures revealing the suppression tactics as they happen slowly, was FireShot webpage screen capture tool for Firefox Web Browser. It makes it easy to take partial full page screenshots and full page screenshots. It can export such screen captures to formats such as PDF and PNG. PDF is likely going to have more metadata set in stone with the date and time of such web page capture. It can capture a webpage exactly as it looks to an internet user, in real time around the date and time such web page capture takes place. It only creates a mirror image of a capture of a webpage. This type capture does not record extra DATA like css, javascript, HTML5, and any other HTML coded DATA. However the captures were kept as is and the screenshot files were not manipulated in any way. Once they were captured, the time and date stamps were added by the computer system and the DATA is kept as it was created. Any of the claims made in this article may be forensically analyzed by downloading the RAW DATA. It can be vetted and verified.

We cannot disclose all methods of how the view counts were as high as they are, but those videos were heavily promoted on sites like Gab.com, MeWe, Above Top Secret, Lunatic Outpost (post days ago were lost, so reposted), God Like Productions, Parler, Gettr, Minds, 8Kun/8Chan, Clouthub, and other places. The YouTube video links were also emailed to staffers of the U.S. House of Representatives and staffers of the U.S. Senate.

Here are some examples of the YouTube shadow ban tactic of taking away YouTube subscribers and view counts, as well as likes from a video within a day or two, maybe even within hours after a video was given it’s last like since that time.

It had shown that around the time stamp of 8/7/2021 10:15 PM, the views of the videos were as follows:
Proof that Brian D. Hill; USWGO Alt. News, was TORTURED into Falsely Pleading Guilty – YouTube was at 27,106 views at the time it was captured. Screen capture save time may have a slight delay from the time it was actually captured and when the page was last refreshed.
Proof that Brian D. Hill; USWGO Alt. News, is INNOCENT, being HELD HOSTAGE by Corrupt Federal Court – YouTube was at 27,031 views at the time it was captured. Screen capture save time may have a slight delay from the time it was actually captured and when the page was last refreshed.

Then there had been a dip of maybe a few thousand views from the last screen capture. Around 12:49 AM which begins August 8, 2021, it was only a little over two hours after the webpage screenshot capture at around 10:15 PM with “FireShot Capture 1157 – Channel content – YouTube Studio – studio.youtube.com.png”. Without explanation, the view counts just immediately drop from a higher number of views to a lower number of views.

It had shown that around the time stamp of 8/8/2021 12:49 AM, the views of the videos were as follows:
Proof that Brian D. Hill; USWGO Alt. News, was TORTURED into Falsely Pleading Guilty – YouTube was at 25,857 views, 179 likes at the time it was captured. Screen capture save time may have a slight delay from the time it was actually captured and when the page was last refreshed.
Proof that Brian D. Hill; USWGO Alt. News, is INNOCENT, being HELD HOSTAGE by Corrupt Federal Court – YouTube was at 25,847 views, 124 likes at the time it was captured. Screen capture save time may have a slight delay from the time it was actually captured and when the page was last refreshed.

So you see the evidence that a major dip of almost 2,000 views in just a short number of hours. Not even a whole day. The folks at YouTube didn’t know that we would capture videos at different random times and monitor the view counts. Now let’s look at the suppression of likes.

Reducing the view count or even reducing the high number of video likes can significantly reduce the search rank of a video on YouTube or make it more difficult for anybody to see such videos in the suggested videos section on the right side of each YouTube video. These suppression campaigns can effectively kill a viral video campaign and make it lose being made viral. Anybody who has access to the MySQL or whatever Internet Database which YouTube may be using for it’s video streaming and sharing platform, can essentially change the number of view counts or likes within the snap of a finger. It may take time to propagate to other DATABASE SERVERS if a website as big as YouTube requires DATA Propagation centers or facilities around the world to sustain high bandwidth, high number of visitors through web traffic, and sustain the high number of video uploads each and every minute of every hour of every day at YouTube.

So now lets see evidence of the dip of likes for at least one particular video.

It had shown that around the time stamp of 8/5/2021 1:14 AM, the views of the videos are as follows:
Proof that Brian D. Hill; USWGO Alt. News, was TORTURED into Falsely Pleading Guilty – YouTube was at 31,872 views, 179 likes at the time it was captured. Screen capture save time may have a slight delay from the time it was actually captured and when the page was last refreshed.
Proof that Brian D. Hill; USWGO Alt. News, is INNOCENT, being HELD HOSTAGE by Corrupt Federal Court – YouTube was at 24,407 views, 89 likes at the time it was captured. Screen capture save time may have a slight delay from the time it was actually captured and when the page was last refreshed.

So one video was over 30,000 but then dipped below that. The likes for the video about Brian being held hostage by Corrupt Federal Court did escalate to 124 likes from 89 likes but it was actually a little higher, but that number had dipped a bit. So it did started receiving more likes and views at one point but then the likes dropped a little bit after that.

It had shown that around the time stamp of 8/5/2021 10:13 PM, the views of the videos are as follows:
Proof that Brian D. Hill; USWGO Alt. News, was TORTURED into Falsely Pleading Guilty – YouTube was at 29,446 views, 179 likes at the time it was captured. Screen capture save time may have a slight delay from the time it was actually captured and when the page was last refreshed.
Proof that Brian D. Hill; USWGO Alt. News, is INNOCENT, being HELD HOSTAGE by Corrupt Federal Court – YouTube was at 21,950 views, 126 likes at the time it was captured. Screen capture save time may have a slight delay from the time it was actually captured and when the page was last refreshed.

The suppression wasn’t that much for the likes in the video: Proof that Brian D. Hill; USWGO Alt. News, is INNOCENT, being HELD HOSTAGE by Corrupt Federal Court – YouTube. It only lost 2 likes. It had gained a lot of likes at one period of time. Then it was only dialed back 2 likes. The likes of 126 was around Fireshot Capture 1080, at the time stamp of 8/5/2021 1:14 AM. Around 8/8/2021 12:49 AM, FireShot Capture 1200, as noted above, the likes went from 126 to 124. In only three days a few likes were removed from one video.

That is how sneaky YouTube can be with it’s shadow banning. As more views keep coming in causing a popular or viral video to keep rising in viewers, the view counts then start losing thousands of views within days or even hours or even minutes. This is how effective the shadow banning technique works. Even the tools used to prove this fact are inadequate. YouTube videos cannot be constantly monitored as it would take a team of people to go through tens of thousands of report images and PDF Files and creating a huge enough DATABASE to store them all for vetting by the general public. The view counts don’t even match the analytics. Analytics are kept secret from the general public and are only accessible to the YouTube channel owner or operator, and of course to the YouTube IT Technical staff. Here is the number of views the video is getting from the analytics DATA. This DATA is exclusive to Justice for Brian D. Hill of USWGO Alternative News blog, released by Stanley Bolten, for the purpose of helping to show forensic evidence of screen captures in different times of the day of YouTube view manipulation and possible suppression for whatever political or non-political reasoning.

So the video Proof that Brian D. Hill; USWGO Alt. News, is INNOCENT, being HELD HOSTAGE by Corrupt Federal Court – YouTube around screen capture time stamp of 8/8/2021 12:50 AM, actually was recorded to having around 35,795 views since it was published. Meanwhile around that same time a screen capture was taken of the channel content around the same time or close to around the same time as the capture noted above.

There you have it. The general public is only getting the impression around that time, of the video view count being at 25,847. The video Proof that Brian D. Hill; USWGO Alt. News, is INNOCENT, being HELD HOSTAGE by Corrupt Federal Court – YouTube was at that view count. The date and time stamp was 8/8/2021 12:51 AM. So analytics is telling me that the view count for this video is well over 35,000 the whole time since it was published on YouTube. However the view count seems to be getting lower the more viewers come in to watch the video out of curiosity.

I could go on but I rather keep this article as brief as possible while proving my point that the RAW DATA itself proves manipulation and suppression of the true view count, likes, comments, and subscribers. This is definitely sounding like a shadow ban suppression technique. If YouTube feels that deleting a video may cost it a lot of paid subscribers and investors then they let the video stay on it’s platform. There are exceptions to the rule of absolute censorship of YouTube videos they don’t like politically. Sometimes, they allow political videos they do not like but instead use the tactic or strategy of reducing the view counts or not counting all real view counts. They can suppress the likes by removing the likes given by particular YouTube accounts or at random YouTube accounts. They can even unsubscribe the YouTube counts as well. Last I will show the comparison of losing YouTube subscribers.

Sourced from project file: FireShot Capture 1201 – Channel dashboard – YouTube Studio – studio.youtube.com.png

So here is the discrepancy. See the image above saying the USWGO YouTube channel subscribers are at 1,605, at the time of this screenshot capture. The date and time stamp was 8/8/2021 12:50 AM. However YouTube forget when they manipulated and removed subscribers from that YouTube channel, they forgot to erase the “Achievements”. It clearly says “New achievement, 2000 subscribers, 3 days ago – More and more people are loving your channel”. Yes they have loved the USWGO channel, but approximately around 400 subscribers who loved the USWGO Channel had disappeared from the subscriber roll. They just vanished quickly in the twinkle of an eye. This one single forensic capture shows how YouTube congratulated USWGO YouTube channel for having 2,000 subscribers or more while showing in the dashboard that it was clearly reduced to 1,605. That is VERY WARPED right there. Shows how the censorship and shadow banning IT staff were so lazy and stupid that they clearly forgot to take away the achievement proving that the subscribers were clearly 2,000 or over at the time but then it was reduced but the achievement was kept as a trophy before the subscribers were purged from the channel.

There you have it, all project files referenced here can be accessed as RAW DATA from both the Internet Archive and at Mega.co.nz. The RAW Data goes up until the date of August 8, 2021 when the screenshot capturing period stops.

This article has clearly demonstrated after days of random YouTube webpage screenshot captures, of the secretive operations of shadow banning of YouTube videos behind the curtains. This does prove of the manipulation of true view counts, manipulation of a YouTube video channel subscribers subscribed to the channel, and manipulation of the likes of each and every video. The suppression is real and documented only for the two videos and the USWGO YouTube channel. This does not reveal exact forensic evidence of the hundreds to thousands to possibly millions of videos facing the same suppression and censorship by the YouTube staff or Administration. This video however shows forensic proof of such censorship taking place. Other people can use the same forensic screen capturing techniques as we are using here and reproduce the evidence for their videos and video channels. It may take a lot of time, hard work, and patience, but the results can prove that your videos are being suppressed and fettered with as a form of censorship by shadow banning of political videos and content.
