Firstly, in an amusing turn of events YouTube removed the latest episode of GOSPod from their site. The reason? The episode - the subject of which was Satanic conspiracy theories - briefly mentioned the antivaxxers and YT said we were peddling medical misinformation. We appealed but nope. You can still hear the episode in all other places listed here.

Secondly, the S8N Not H8N campaign now has its own dedicated website as its was just getting too big (over 130 participants now) for one page on the main website to cut it. You can find that here: https://satan-not-hating.com and we also have launched socials for it too if you want to follow them:

    Ugh, that sucks about YouTube. They’re so goofy like that.

    Also, are the bands participating in the campaign satanic? I’ve been trying to find more satanic music. I love the campaign btw

      The most annoying thing about the YT situation is that both the initial flag and the appeal we submitted weren’t actually dealt with by a human. If they had been, they would’ve understood instantly we were describing what antivaxxers believe, not advocating for them!

      The vast majority of the participants are not (as far as I’m aware) Satanists. Most of them didn’t mention it at all, a couple said they were and a few explicitly said they weren’t. We’ve had a lot of artists we approached not reply at all - which is fair, its hard work after all - and I suspect a lot of contacts didn’t make it past their PR and/or management but out of all the approaches we’ve made, we’ve only had three explicitly say no. And that was because they weren’t comfortable being associated with Satanism, which is again fair - its not for everyone.
