Hello MC Pao and
@elonmusk,
My name is Dalibor, known online as Psyhodelik. For nearly sixteen years, I have been creating content covering current affairs, public debate, and Internet culture. My YouTube channel has more than 260,000 subscribers and receives several million views per month.
YouTube has just demonetized my channel, cutting off an essential source of income and directly threatening my ability to continue my independent journalistic work.
Beyond my own situation, I want to draw your attention to what I see as a double standard in platform moderation. In my view, certain left-wing positions enjoy considerable latitude, while voices challenging them risk losing their livelihoods over the slightest misstep. This perceived imbalance fuels my concern about the direction of free expression in Europe, in a regulatory environment shaped in part by the DSA.
I am not asking to be exempt from criticism or platform rules. I am asking for the opportunity to continue working under clear, consistently enforced rules, with meaningful avenues of appeal when a decision puts years of work at risk.
Would you consider financially supporting my work, either personally or through your organizations? Patronage, a transparent sponsorship that respects my editorial independence, or a one-time contribution would help me continue reporting, investigating, and commenting on current affairs.
I can provide YouTube’s notification, my audience statistics, and a concrete overview of my work and funding needs.
My goal is simple: to keep working without my future depending entirely on the decisions of a single platform.
Thank you for your consideration and for any support or visibility you might offer.
Dalibor — Psyhodelik
