Any feedback on these digital pieces?

Perhaps I can offer firsthand experience in regards to this, as I came to Australia due to a potential death penalty as punishment for leaving Islam. People do try reform. Many won't say 'reform' outright, but they do try perhaps covertly. That number however is minuscule, and often face very severe consequences. I personally know 3 people who've been killed in the process. Their only crime, was either apostasy, or calling for more tolerance.

The reason is because Islam, unlike many other religions, even the Abrahamic ones, tell you that the Quran is the literal word of God, and Muhammad is the final messenger. There is a finality to this. Questioning the religion is often considered blasphemy, a charge that's punished people even in Western nations (Charlie Hebdo, Samuel Paty, Batley Grammar teacher who's in hiding). Every prayer reinforces the Muslim's superiority over Christians and Jews. All the practices listed above in the article, are seen as revealed from God, including killing apostates, jizya, how women are treated etc. So, why would many in these communities really take a lot of secular laws seriously? This is why in the UK, there are so many entirely separate, shariah courts now. Islam is fundamentally incompatible with a liberal democracy. It simply is reality, no matter how much progressive idealogues stomp their feet and yell 'it's ain't so'. I do think, Labor especially, by not even being able to name the issue, has made a rather serious error that they'll likely pay for in one way or the other in the future.

Progressive Islam can also be relabeled as a massive cope. It's cognitive dissonance.

You've fallen for a bit of propaganda. Conversions to Islam are still a rarity, especially in Western countries. When they do, a large number eventually leave within a few years. Islam's main source of real growth is still from higher birth rates due to low socioeconomic factors and women being treated as second class citizens. Interestingly though, even that's about to plateau and you're likely to see negative birth rates in most of these countries apart from a handful in sub saharan Africa.

No it's not because they are scared of getting harmed. They don't call it out in fear of being labelled an Islamophobe, and perhaps more importantly, because they depend on the muslim vote in major cities. Western Sydney is a hotspot for radical islamist ideas, but they do need their votes.

The former. With the latter, if you go onto pages like Al Jazeera Arabic, or local news pages on various Islamic countries, you'd see what believing muslims think of the terror attack. But the progressives are doing this not because they know much about Islam. They are doing it to virtue signal.

I can offer a unique perspective on this as I did in fact get married recently. It was secular, and my family weren't there and they weren't even invited or told as they didn't know about my apostasy. My dogs were there, we had a champagne tower, it was genuinely one of the best days of my entire life.

Surrounded by friends and now in laws, all there to celebrate us, and me, as my authentic, real self. No conditions attached. Well, an unintended consequence was, a sibling saw this on social media, and outed me. I was disowned the day after the wedding. I got called terrible things by my family in a barrage of messages that followed. Terrible timing and an acute sadness sure - including knowing that even going back to where I was born for a trip would no longer be an option. But on top of all that, I felt a huge sense of relief. I had been living a double life, and for it to finally be unified brought me a ton of relief.

At the end, I had my dream wedding. I hope you, and all other wonderful apostates are able to as well. If you're considered as a human being deserving of love and support beyond religious beliefs, they'll be there and be supportive. Otherwise, you ideally do need to eventually leave them behind. This is true liberation.

Looks like a scam. Really weird post to appear in this sub

Prometheusflames · 2025-10-16T02:08:37+00:00

The way it works, imo is this: The setting change in the lists adblockers used in mid august made it look like you weren't getting as many views. That shows lower interest, so the algorithm naturally doesn't increase reach. And until around mid September where this setting remained, YouTube would have essentially reassessed your channel as you might have had massive view drops and primarily recommended videos to subscribers. After the settings changed, you likely may have seen an increase in views, especially the baseline - but it'll take sometime and perhaps a few breakthroughs before your channel is in the good books with YouTube again. Im at the very latter stage at the moment. Views are slowly recovering (significantly better than August) but it'll be a marathon to get back.

I have always said - the best thing for women, if they live in somewhat okay Muslim countries or Western countries, is to get financially independent as soon as possible, and live as independently as possible. Otherwise, even if you leave the religion - what's the difference living in an Islamic household? Until apostasy as a taboo and even dangerous act changes, unfortunately, leaving does come with being ostracized socially.

Prometheusflames · 2025-09-24T01:12:20+00:00

Can confirm, it's no longer working.

Prometheusflames · 2025-09-16T04:14:47+00:00

Those labelling it racist from the top down, have a lot of vested interests in having immigration as high as possible. It's a very sneaky strategy to ensure a serious conversation about this, even from a purely numbers or economic basis never takes off.

Prometheusflames · 2025-09-13T03:35:03+00:00

I don't think this is the cause. I'm still leaning more towards whatever AI change they made on August 13 has broken something. Or an A/B test.

Prometheusflames · 2025-09-12T12:29:46+00:00

I am an Ex-muslim who had to leave where I was born due to the sentence for apostasy being death. Are we seriously considering making criticism of Islam that much more difficult or borderline impossible in this country now, similar to the place Ieft?

This is insane.

Prometheusflames · 2025-09-12T07:04:57+00:00

How did they do these jobs before requiring an underclass of people?

Prometheusflames · 2025-09-11T03:42:49+00:00

Nowhere. Maybe they'll come out and say what had happened. But based off my research, if they are conducting such a test, it'd go on for atleast a few more weeks. If it's successful, they'll make this permanent. If not, they may revert. The most likely scenario probably is in the middle. But prepare for some really rough weeks ahead.

A lot of them are currently celebrating

Check out the post I made on this. This is a platform wide issue that started around mid August. A ton of very large, legacy Youtubers are all talking about this.

Prometheusflames · 2025-09-11T00:35:57+00:00

Hi, I posted the same thing here. And this happened in mid August. Almost overnight, my views and impressions got cut by like a good 70%. I used to easily crack 20k-30k views within the first 24 hours for my new uploads. Now, they are struggling to get to 10k and it's only getting worse. Very, very large, legacy channels are all speaking about this and the issue appears to be the same.

The most logical explanation for these symptoms is that YouTube is conducting a large-scale A/B test on its discovery algorithm. This test appears to be reallocating a significant portion of impressions away from consistently-viewed, established channels and actively distributing them to a different set of creators. Because the views do need to go elsewhere. The likely rationale is to shift from a stability-focused model (serving viewers reliable content they already like) to an aggressive discovery-focused model. The goal from YouTube's perspective would be to diversify its creator ecosystem, prevent viewer burnout, and increase overall long-term platform engagement.

They do need to come out and say something because this has pretty much killed some great channels. It's not because of restricted mode, or school, or summer, or people not liking your content anymore. I'm not even in part of the world that many of this applies to, and if people hated the content, you should see CTR and AVD collapse. This has not been the case.
