YouTube viewers aren’t watching the BBC. The UK Gov wants to force them to.
OFCOM, the UK’s Orwellian name for the Office of Communications, has decided to issue a reporting demanding that YouTube prioritize its propaganda content because of ‘democracy’ and ‘public service’ or something of that sort.
Even for the Starmer regime, which is racking up more speech arrest than Cuba, this is really something.
The regime believes that its programming is entitled to first row prioritization and that if people don’t choose to watch it, that’s because YouTube isn’t trying hard enough to make them.
This review calls for urgent action, both now and in the coming years to strengthen and maintain public service media (“PSM”) content which provides trusted and accurate news, tells UK stories and represents the diversity of the nations and regions of the UK.
The one thing the UK has a desperate shortage of is programming about “diversity”.
So if OFCOM proposing to improve the BBC’s viewership by investing in better content that people actually want to watch? Ha. That’s not how socialism works. The BBC will make people watch that Masterpiece Theater production of a classic recast with all minorities. How do you make them watch if they won’t turn on the TV? There’s the option of a mandatory Big Brother always-on TV or just force YouTube to make them watch it. They’re going with both.
The vital reforms in the Media Act, once implemented, will help support PSBs, including by making
their on-demand players prominent on connected TVs.
As people keep saying, “1984 was not supposed to be a How To” guide, but that’s literally how the Starmer regime is treating it.
But what if people don’t choose to click on the spam on smart TVs? What if they go right to social media? Or YouTube.
“Viewers now spend less than half of their in-home viewing on linear TV and this is declining. As people move online they are watching programmes on a much larger range of services… The PSBs are responding by putting content on third party services, such as YouTube. Their strategies are evolving as they learn what works, but our research shows that PSB content only forms a small proportion of what UK audiences watch on YouTube and they are competing with every other content creator in the world.”
