Why Is “Ranting For Vengeance” Still Up? People Are Seriously Asking What’s Wrong With YouTube
Picture this: you’re scrolling through YouTube, trying to avoid pointless rage videos and drama channels that just won’t quit. Then you stumble across “Ranting For Vengeance.” Somehow, despite tons of controversial clips and a reputation for stirring up trouble, this channel is still chugging along. People on Reddit? They’re baffled — and honestly, I kind of get it.
Here’s what’s going on.
YouTube’s Weird Double Standards
It’s not news that YouTube is inconsistent when it comes to taking down channels. Just last night, I saw someone get demonetized for a swear word in a video from 2012. Meanwhile, channels like Ranting For Vengeance are still live and ranting. One Reddit user — /u/Either_Storm_6932 — straight up asked, “Why hasn’t YouTube deleted Ranting For Vengeance’s channel yet? Are they stupid?”
Honestly, I don’t think they’re stupid. But there’s definitely something weird going on.
What’s the Problem With This Channel?
If you’re not familiar, here’s a quick rundown:
- Constant drama: Ranting For Vengeance jumps on every controversy, often escalating things just for clicks.
- Questionable content: Some of their rants blur the line between angry commentary and straight-up harassment.
- Repeat offenders: Other channels with similar vibes have been banned. So why not this one?
This isn’t a tiny channel flying under the radar, either. People are reporting it. Screenshots exist. And YouTube? It’s just… ignoring it?
YouTube’s Possible Excuses
If you try to see things from YouTube’s side, maybe they’ve got reasons. Maybe:
- Algorithms missed it: Automated flagging is glitchy.
- Loopholes: The channel toes just close enough to the line to avoid breaking “technically” written rules.
- Big audience: Sometimes bigger channels get a few extra chances.
Still, none of that feels fair when other channels get sniped for way less. It’s kind of exhausting.
The Bigger Picture
People don’t just care about one drama channel. They care because it shows how random YouTube’s rules can be. If someone can skirt the edge and keep going, what’s stopping anyone else?
And if you’re a small creator, the whole thing can feel rigged. That’s why posts like the Reddit one linked here keep popping up. It’s less about “this one person is bad” and more about “what’s even the point of these rules?”
Final Thoughts
I’m not out here screaming for mass bans. But it’s hard to watch YouTube look the other way when a channel turns drama into harassment, while others get hit for tiny mistakes. If you care about fair rules, this situation with Ranting For Vengeance is another reminder: YouTube’s moderation is still a massive work in progress.
In the end, everyone just wants the rules to make sense. Is that really so much to ask?
