Giannis explains getting a YouTube strike (partially rescinded after Joe Rogan's support) for a joke about moving Gay Pride parade timing, and discusses a second flagged episode about Justin Bieber's leaked video.
- Giannis's YouTube channel got flagged for content about gay people.
- Tim reads the exact joke: "We support gay rights but could we please move the gay parade tonight so I could explain gay rights to my daughter without having to see your [expletive] before 12 noon."
- YouTube gave Giannis a strike, then rescinded it after Joe Rogan's intervention went viral.
- YouTube took down two full episodes; the other one was about Justin Bieber's N-word video.
- Tim argues YouTube doesn't make itself look good by taking things out of context and censoring content creators.
- Giannis jokes he's moving to Web3 and tokenizing everything because he doesn't care about Web 2.
