Sanity Check Posted May 28 Damo's youtube channel was shut down. Had he demonstrated some degree of mastery on the internet. It would have been shut down sooner. People are needlessly paranoid about this stuff getting out of control. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChunMaya Posted May 31 Yeah his channel is still available on YT. Last video was uploaded 9 months ago. Looks like he just stopped uploading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We were talking about a YouTube channel. A guy stopped uploading. Somehow that turned into Bible verses, Satan, and vague doomsday prophecies about “truth” and “science” — as if quoting scripture automatically elevates your opinion into objective reality. Let’s be real: conflating Jesus with “science and truth” is laughable. Science doesn’t require belief. It’s falsifiable, testable, and self-correcting. Religion is none of those things. So trying to frame it as if turning away from your particular belief system is turning away from “truth” is intellectually dishonest. This kind of post always reeks of projection. It’s never about truth. It’s about feeling superior — wrapping emotional bias in spiritual language and hoping no one calls it out. Newsflash: people can disagree with your worldview and not be “of Satan.” Not everyone who's tired of fairy tales is “running from truth.” Some of us just grew up. Let’s stay on topic. Damo didn’t get silenced. He just stopped uploading. No grand conspiracy. No cosmic battle between light and dark. Just a dude not posting videos.

Your level of discussion and debate making me feel like you're completely unequipped and unarmed to even attempt rational discussion being a big part of that. Where was your "falsifiable, testable and self correcting science" during COVID vaccinations and booster shots? You lack the mental capacity to remember events from 2 weeks ago, much less 2 years ago. And you still want to pretend like you have something legitimate to say despite basic history & all evidence to the contrary disproving your perspective only a few years in the past. Let me guess, you believe evolution is a fact. And yet you live your life in a way that goes entirely against evolution. By wanting everything to be free. Free healthcare, free college tuition. Free stuff which flies directly in the face of everything evolution says is healthy & good for living organisms. You aren't self aware enough to realize you contradict yourself 200+ times everytime you open your mouth to say something. Just give up and leave. You have nothing smart to say. No one in your echo chamber does. Geez. Throwing around random, unrelated topics and bizarre assumptions about someone you’ve never even met — all because I called out your religious derail. This thread was about verifying Damo’s skill and Neidan practice, not your need to shoehorn in theology and take cheap shots. Stay on topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Bizarre assumptions"? Everything I said was falsifiable science which can be validated. But for some strange reason, you probably hate science being validated. You were deeply offended when I said the truth would eventually be known and everyone would know it. Maybe you can think about why that is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’re reacting like being wrong somehow makes you unworthy. It doesn't. Being wrong does not make you a bad person. No one cares — we’ve all been wrong before. It’s not a big deal. Just let it go. It really doesn't matter. Edited June 1 by ChunMaya 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While you grasp at straws trying to prove that water is not in fact wet. A million dollars You are not saying water is wet. You are doing the opposite and saying that instead of the obvious being true an elaborate and needlessly conspiracy is the truth. When a channel isn't closed down but is still fully operational, and the man who ran the channel had said long in advance that he would stop posting on the channel and made a final goodbye video, then the obvious is that he stopped useing the channel like he said he would, not that Youtube closed him down. When YouTube closes a channel they just shut it down instantly and make it impossible to post more videos or even delete all previous videos. This isn't what happened since the channel is still there. What you are instead claiming is that instead of going the easy route of simply closing the channel, which YouTube can do and does everyday, YouTube went to great lengths to somehow threaten Damo to quit posting while also keeping quite about it. And you are claiming that that needlessly complicated conspiracy is somehow obvious. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which could be worth $1,000 - $2,000 extra income per month. Youtube is a great platform for free advertising, building a brand and connecting with people. Every video uploaded puts someone further ahead giving them more opportunities to get their ideas and perspective out there. Why would someone voluntarily walk away from that? There is no reason to quit and every reason to continue uploading. So, yes. Some type of explanation is needed. And, no. Some generic "I being of sound mind and clear conscience decided to quit on my own" doesn't cover it. Edited June 2 by Sanity Check Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nungali Posted June 2 Then he would already have money rolling in without a need to continually post new Youtubes . More faulty 'reasoning' on your part . And it appears that your 'reasoning' here is the only proof you can come up with . Typical ! You have soooooooooo much trouble admitting you are wrong ! Can a closed down YouTube channel be accessed ? AI Overview No, a closed YouTube channel, meaning a channel terminated by YouTube or the associated Google Account being deleted, cannot be accessed. Google's policy states that they may delete inactive Google Accounts and their associated data, including YouTube channels, after a period of inactivity.

Vajra Fist Posted June 2 I think Damo said he no longer wants to be a public figure because his family members were getting death threats. I don't see why his YouTube channel would have been shut down for saying that atheists were not very nice people? That seems a bit far fetched... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some generic "I being of sound mind and clear conscience decided to quit on my own" doesn't cover it. People walk away from that on a daily basis. Lots of the channels I have followed stopped because the person running it got tired of it and wanted to spend their time in other ways. There isn't a single example of YouTube using threats and blackmail to make someone stop using their channel. They can easily just shut it down. There is no presumption that unless another good reason for quitting is found the most likely cause is YouTube making covert threats to make them stop posting instead of YouTube simply closing the channel. If Youtube wanted to protect atheists from critique they could just shut his channel down. They don't even need to give an explanation. If YouTube really wanted to protect atheists there are thousands of other channels it would be more useful to shut down. There are endless amounts of religious channels that harshly criticize and mock atheists on YouTube. Shutting Damo down helps nothing. If you do want an explanation you should watch the video where he explains why he quit. He also said five or so years ago that he was going to withdraw from a public teaching role in what he thought was around 5 years time. So him starting to withdraw follows what has been his announced plan all along. This is the last thing I will write in this discussion.
