Let me preface this piece with the fact that that the talk show hosted by Mark Kaye hasn't been cancelled in the sense that it won't be on the on any more. It is still on, and if you don't know what it is let me tell you. The Mark Kaye Show is a radio talk show that airs Monday thru Friday. It than comes out wherever you find podcasts after it is aired live. This is how I listen to it, after the fact.
So, while the show is airing live it is also Live Streamed on just about every social media platform there is. Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, and I'm pretty sure there's more but I can't remember. Let me know below what I might have missed. So, on last Friday's episode Mark shared that Facebook demonetized his official channel, where all of his show's videos are uploaded.
You might be thinking, if his channel is still there then what does it matter if it is unable to be monetized. It matters because for someone who uses social media as a business if the channel is not monetized it doesn't reach people. It is not recommended to people like it is when it is making the platform money. Mark Kaye is a conservative talk show host, and he talks about Politics, the news, and he lets you know that he doesn't like what the Liberal Left is saying.
So, is that why Facebook demonetized his channel, because it is right leaning? Nope. It was because of the most ridiculous reason. The reason was, according to Facebook, because he wasn't showing original content. I heard that and I thought to myself, "What the hell does that even mean?" According to Facebook his videos was showing clips from other news shows, or networks, and there wasn't a substantial amount of either commentary or original work with the clip. Umm? What?
For anyone who has listened to the Mark Kaye show, that couldn't be further from the truth. For every say minute long clip he gives you about five minutes of commentary, actually it's probably more like ten minutes of commentary. Plus every day he plays a different game with his listeners for prizes. Such as Fake News Friday, America's in Jeopardy, What the Bleep, and more. He takes calls, and questions from listeners. So, I'm not sure how all of that can be considered not original content. Freaking Facebook man, just looking for any excuse.
If you have never listened to, or even heard of Mark Kaye, you should go check him out. I listen to the Podcast through the Apple Store everyday, but you can get it everywhere there are podcasts. Or you can watch the live streams, just be warned the livestreams are 3 hours, because it encompasses the radios commercials, which is why I do the Podcast it just has the show.
Alright, that's for this issue of Cancel Watch. I'll see you back here for the next one. It's not like there is ever a shortage of things being cancelled for arbitrary BS. Let me know you thoughts and opinions in the comment section down below.
