On an unusually candid Friday night live stream, Jose “Chille” DeCastro admitted hitting hard financial times after YouTube has cracked down on the violent content he chooses to display on his channel while lashing out at Baby Boomers and Republicans for enabling police.
DeCastro was triggered by a comment in his side chat that blamed Democrats for the increase to police protections that have allowed America, in his eyes, to become a “police state.”
He corrected the commenter that while Democrats have a part, conservatives and “Boomers” fully back police causes and are worse for freedom in comparison. He lashed out specifically at conservative Boomers who he felt were the enablers of police.
The YouTuber brought his comments back to encounters with his family over the past few months, who criticized him harshly for disparaging police and calling them “pigs.” He brutally made his feelings clear: they were wrong, he was right, and the police are the problem, not him.
…only to double back and fall on his sword as soon as his chat disparaged him for his comments. He immediately reversed course upon criticism of Boomers and Republicans, apologizing directly to the boomers in his audience and begged for forgiveness.
Not exactly showing the strength to stand by his decisions needed by the potential Governor of a state, DeCastro switched into a pitch for being Governor one day and encouraging all his fans to register to vote so they can vote for him in the future.
DeCastro had earlier disparaged YouTube as he claimed that it was demonetizing and age restricting his videos based on the violent and anti-police content he’s been featuring lately. Openly claiming that the United States government directly ran YouTube and was directly censoring his content.
He then displayed a new OTVO and Team DLZ branded rubber bracelet which he claimed would be on sale on his website on Saturday and would be the first of many new products he would be selling on his website to make up for the lost revenue from YouTube.
DeCastro then claimed that he used to average over 1,000 viewers before he went to jail and blamed YouTube that he was now averaging 400 viewers across all of his platforms per live stream.
Again, lashing out at YouTube, DeCastro said he was refusing to livestream in the new YouTube vertical format, despite the viewership gains it would bring due to extended promotion by YouTube due to the format, he felt it was too much like TikTok for his tastes.
The YouTuber has not returned to TikTok since losing multiple accounts last year and since his split with Collin “Project Constitution” Campbell a year ago. Campbell has essentially cornered DeCastro’s market on TikTok, using old videos he produced while working with DeCastro and selling copies of the products he claims to have developed with his former partner.
DeCastro said he didn’t want YouTube to conquer TikTok, or for TikTok to go away but remained uncommitted to a return to the platform as he ended his livestream.
