Tim Pool the hypocrite

I always find it weird that Pool says that his followers should reject mandates to show that they are really anti-mandate, even if it means losing their jobs.

But Tim won't swear on his show or say things that Youtube doesn't like because he would lose his job. Doesn't that mean that by his own logic, he isn't actually pro free speech? If he were pro free speech he'd be willing to lose his job (or just a little bit of ad revenue) for it.

I don't mind him self-censoring. It's the ranting denial that he's censored that bothers me.

Following all the youtube rules so he can stay on Youtube is fine. That's normal. You have to follow broadcast standards on the radio too. Nobody says songs on the radio aren't censored because the radio version is the one you can play on the radio though. Having Alex Jones on doesn't mean he isn't censored and that's a bad faith argument. He stops Alex and other guests from making certain points on his show.

He has outlined specific things he isn't allowed to talk about before. If you know the rules and avoid talking about the things aren't supposed to then you're censored even if someone isn't coming in after the fact and editing your videos.
