There are two larger videos on Ben Swann's 'Reality Check' segment on Pizzagate that I have happened to come across. One is Ben Swann's own Youtube video, which supposedly has about 15k views, and there is another (channel David Dobbs) with about 100k views. The video Swann posted on his Facebook page currently has over 500,000 views and 20,000 shares.
If you search for Ben Swann Pizzagate on Youtube, only a handful of videos on the subject show up, with an average of about 2k views. Neither Ben Swann's own video or the David Dobbs video show up on Youtube search. Youtube has been caught repeatedly modifying view counts to make a movement seem insignificant and memory-holing/de-listing viral videos, and this appears to be another example.
As noted, CBS has also taken down Swann's video from their website 'our apologies, page is currently unavailable' (
http://www.cbs46.com/clip/13036440/reality-check-is-pizzagate-fake-news)
).
I encourage everyone to test this out to confirm whether it is happening with respect to Youtube.

Yes, this is very fishy. His video exploded, probably got 1M+ views. Youtube is a joke.
▼ pizzathrowaway7
It had 30k votes when I watched earlier today
▼ Intheknow
youtube kept putting An error accured when trying to watch Ben
▼ reasonedandinformed
And thanks to an investigator, we now have a telephone recording that confirms it was deliberately taken down by someone in management: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1577680

I wasn't shocked at all, was just pointing out that it was happening

If you do that search (Ben Swann Pizzagate) on youtube, I am the 3rd video. I uploaded it yesterday and for the first 2 hours it was taking off. Than they squeezed me big time. It's merely a drip now. Assholes. This has been happening since I started doing PG videos. ICANN?

When you attempt to search the keywords ben swann and pizzagate on Google Trends, it does not retrieve results
▼ readstuff
youtube search for "pizzagate reality check" turns up two results at the top. both are the original broadcast. views around ~16K.
▼ psmith85
Yes but no one is searching for that. 99% of people are searching ben swann pizzagate or pizzagate ben swann. Using the default search filter of 'Relevance,' neither of the two videos show up anywhere in search results, not even 3rd/4th page.

Gee, maybe if we complain really loud to the NWO fucks at the UN, they'll give us back our internet? Yeah, sure, right.

MIRROR IT EVERYWHERE. If even half the people viewing the OP mirrored it to their channels, it would be back on the results.
The fact that it's had half a million views and is being censored will give this fucker the ultimate Streisand Effect, if you mention that in the title or description. My advice is to use the same algorithm subversion that most pirated TV shows and movies use, through cropping or audio manipulation. This, for example.
(((They))) need to know it's not going away. Pandora's box is wide open. and the fact that it's being actively censored is proof that something is amiss. The innocent don't fear the truth, after all. Not like this, anyway.
The video is still on his facebook page, right here. Rip it from here using a downloader.
So, DO IT FAGGOTS.
▼ HonestDonald
They're also suppressing view/like counts.
▼ Aaanndgo
I know there's a joke here about how Swann got a feel of how seaman felt but it's probably too soon :(
▼ Diamond_Deluge
I see a lot of videos about it, I dont know what you're on about.
▼ dickface8
They are trying to stop the highly viewed one from showing up or getting any more views while showing all the reuploads with like 20 views. The point is that they never do it like that, the most viewed one always shows up at top. Stinking blatant suppression.
▼ Diamond_Deluge
Yeah well r/the_donald shouldnt have linked to some random bootlegged version of it.
▼ dickface8
Totally noticed they were doing this as soon as I woke up today to check the vid views again. Sly as fuck, and desperate. They never do that, putting the most viewed one to the back of the results, lol...

When I search Ben Swann Pizzagate loads of video show up, and if I filter by view count, the David Hobbs one is at the top with 148982 views, and Swann's video is third in the list with around 15k views. Maybe it is the way your search is filtered, like it's showing the most recent videos first or something?
▼ psmith85
No it was set to 'Relevance' which is the default search filter. You have to go out of your way to change to view count. And neither of them show up at all as relevant, not even on 3rd/4th page.
▼ SpikyAube
Ahhh I see, I thought it was suggested that they'd completely disappeared from search results.
▼ psmith85
They have completely disappeared. If you have the default search filter of 'Relevance,' they don't show up at all using the terms Ben Swann Pizzagate. You have to search for the channel and then enter the channel in order to see the video.
▼ SpikyAube
When I have the default filter on with that search, Ben Swann's video is third in the list. Maybe it's to do with our locations, I'm in Europe, maybe it's not censored here?
▼ VieBleu
and it's going to savage anything and anyone trying to shove it back into that bag.
In many ways the work here is done. This is more of an entertainment site now, with the mods providing the floor show in their gyrations to appear credible while the shills silly-sally around in their unimaginative orchestrations of clown car antics; Over all is the Ringmaster Alefantis in his pink and black tiger tights, swooping in from his "one eye" perch here and there, shedding white powder while preening and threatening his own reflection in the mirror if he can't find someone else to grimace and strut for. Really a one of a kind show and not to be missed because it will not last - It is entirely SOLD OUT! lol
▼ Ciscogeek
This really helps highlight just how rigged everything is.

This stuff and the attempted clamp down here on voat remind me of the natural mechanics of a volcano, which explodes after the pressure of containment becomes too much. Get ready for pizzagate to explode into national consciousness folks, we are seeing and hearing the rumblings of it now, and the greater the Establishment tries to clamp a lid on it, the greater the force of the eruption will be.

I saw a few articles popping up insinuating that Pizzagate is dead, and no longer active. (HuffPost, etc.) They're trying to make it seem like we have a lost cause. Ben Schwann came at just the right time. WE CAN'T LET THEM GET AWAY THIS TIME I am most worried that this investigation will simply stagnate and we will never prosecute these devils. The enthusiasm of this community does seem to indicate that this will keep getting bigger, by strides. How many of us are there? Are we still growing in number? Are 99% of people too lazy to care about high crimes? Do people not use the Internet for researching things about which they heard in person very often?

Here's the censorship proof. From 10am EST Jan 19
Archive of the search page where none of the top videos appear: http://archive.is/SSbMO
And here are three copies of it that have far more views/likes than the videos they show in the search page:
Archive of google search page for site:youtube.com ben swann pizzagate http://archive.is/wWw49 where the 173k views video appears first as expected. Showing that youtube is doing the overt censorship, while google search itself might not be.

well done!.

I did attempt to search again and the David Dobbs result appeared once farther down the page, now it's gone again. Swann's video is still not showing up.
