This video asks the question if the article from the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) was a deliberate attack to inflict economic damages on PewDiePie, but more importantly to discredit YouTube as an advertising and also news platform. Many indicators appeared in the last few weeks that support this claim. Especially now that YouTube is under full attack by major advertising companies. Military History Visualized provides a series of short narrative and visual presentations like documentaries based on academic literature or sometimes primary sources. Videos are intended as introduction to military history, but also contain a lot of details for history buffs. Since the aim is to keep the episodes short and comprehensive some details are often cut. » HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT MILITARY HISTORY VISUALIZED « (A) You can support my channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv (B) You can also buy "Spoils of War" (merchandise) in the online shop: https://www.redbubble.com/people/mhvis/shop » SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS « facebook: https://www.facebook.com/milhistoryvisualized/ twitter: https://twitter.com/MilHiVisualized tumblr: http://militaryhistoryvisualized.tumblr.com/ » SOURCES « »Books« Kramer, Alan: Blockade and economic warfare; in: Winter, Jay (ed.): Cambridge History of the First World War, Volume II: The State Blackwill, Robert D.; Harris, Jennifer M.: War by Other Means – Geoeconomics and Statecraft Rockoff, Hugh: America’s Economic Way of War »Articles« French advertising giant pulls out of Google and YouTube https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/mar/17/google-pledges-more-control-for-brands-over-ad-placement Analysts predict the YouTube advertiser boycott will cost Google $750 million http://uk.businessinsider.com/analyst-predicts-the-youtube-ad-boycott-will-cost-google-750-million-2017-3?r=US&IR=T Here are the biggest brands that have pulled their advertising from YouTube over extremist videos http://www.businessinsider.de/these-brands-pulled-ads-from-youtube-and-google-over-extremist-content-2017-3?r=US&IR=T Google risks prosecution over extremist videos http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/google-risks-prosecution-over-extremist-videos-fvm369ncs Lawyer, doctor, engineer http://www.economist.com/node/13517524 »YouTube Videos (might be incomplete, I lost track)« Roberto Blake – YouTube CANCELS PewdiePie and What It means for ALL YouTubers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgatd0GBZRY Philip DeFranco – Why YOUTUBE TV Is A Game Changer!
