Saturday’s livestream featuring Jose “Chille” DeCastro on his DLZ Clips YouTube backup channel was another disaster in the making with the YouTuber acknowledging his recent downturn in fortune following his main channel’s second suspension in ninety days as he ended a scheduled vertical stream in favor of a horizontal stream due to low turnout.
DeCastro’s main channel was suspended following a strike for YouTube from a short that he claims had no nudity or sexual content despite being flagged for both. His protests went unanswered by YouTube and apparently solidified his opinion that YouTube is openly trying to kill his channels and force him off the platform.
Neither of his Saturday streams impressed viewers as the original horizontal stream brought in 147 views as of press time, while his longer horizontal stream more than doubled those numbers, bringing in 363 views as of press time out of the channel’s 113,000 subscribers.
But DeCastro’s own growing extremist views may be turning off viewers and placing him outside of content matter that YouTube has deemed advertiser friendly.
DeCastro’s growing frustration with the ongoing conflict between the United States and Israel against Iran, for example, has resulted in DeCastro dropping his description of himself as Jewish “on his father’s side” in favor of anti-Israel and often anti-Jewish talking points that have some have accused DeCastro of featuring antisemitic keywording at times.
Stranger views followed as DeCastro has openly embraced the so-called “Pizzagate” rumors; these including the beliefs that billionaires eat human children at gatherings and that there are “lizard people” hiding amongst the general population.
More recently DeCastro has promoted his theory that the growing need for artificial intelligence related “data centers” in urban areas are actually a cover for a possible invasion of “humanoid robots.”
On Saturday, DeCastro added the idea that the humanoid robots would be armed with robotic tanks which will also be housed at the data center sites.
The YouTuber offered no proof of his statements, could not point to advancements in robotic technology on the level where robots could replace humans, nor why he changed his beliefs to a pending robot apocalypse.
DeCastro had previously promoted the idea that the recent increase in building of ICE related detention centers was a cover for the eventual enslavement of humanity at the camps after ICE successfully eliminated the threat of those who were in the country without permission to be here.
Instead of considering his focus on extreme beliefs as the reasoning for the decline in popularity on YouTube, DeCastro has insisted that there is a vast conspiracy by YouTube in order to bring his channels down.
DeCastro has recently admitted that he is to the point where he believes that he will soon have to abandon his YouTube channels and, instead, distribute his content through his fans own YouTube channels with his fans in turn sending him donations to fund his activism through his GoFundMe campaigns.
While DeCastro insisted that he remains popular on Instagram, Rumble and Twitter, he acknowledged that those platforms do not pay as well as YouTube and that he is being significantly hindered financially by YouTube’s apparent machinations against his channel.
DeCastro announced that he would be traveling on Sunday and that he would be spending the Memorial Day holiday visiting his family in the Las Vegas area.
The downturn of DeCastro’s fortunes continued as none of the crowd sourcing campaigns associated with DeCastro saw new donations for the weekend.
For Saturday, Roy Tripoloni’s campaign for James “James Freeman” Springer brought in $257.00 in new donations. This was followed by $170.00 in new donations to the fund devoted to helping Luis “Real Constitutional Upholders” Johnson recover from gunshot wounds.
Our own Ongoing Expenses campaign brought in a $123.00 donation as part of the “Rename Jim for June” campaign, Angel “Kansas City Accountability” Moses brought in $46.00 for his Justice for Unlawful Arrest in Ohio fund, and the First Amendment Protection Agency rounded things out with $10.00 in new donations.
For Sunday, Tripoloni’s campaign for Springer brought in another $256.00 in new donations followed by $130.00 in new donations to the campaign devoted to Angel Moses. Our own Ongoing Expenses campaign received $20.00 for an apparent error correction entry as there are no new donations listed on the GoFundMe site.
No other campaigns that we follow received donations for either day.
