Why is Wilson rejecting Jubilee?

Vivian Wilson made her remark because the YouTube channel has come beneath hearth for its controversial content material. A petition calling for YouTube to demonetize Jubilee’s channel, led by Matt Bernstein, host of the “A Bit Fruity” podcast, has surpassed 45 thousand signatures.

Despite Jubilee’s intentions at its founding, YouTubers argue that the channel’s inflammatory viral content material has promoted more and more fringe and violent political opinions.

Wilson’s advocacy for progressive social change doesn’t align with the impression Jubilee’s content material seems to have had on political discourse. According to Bernstein’s petition towards the channel, Jubilee’s content material “has devolved into a sort of rage-bait political porn, generating millions of dollars by making people as angry, offended, and divided as possible.” 

Founder Jason Y. Lee has referred to Jubilee as ‘the Disney of Empathy.’

Jubilee Media produces content material that sparks debate on YouTube. Jubilee’s purported intention is to “provoke understanding and create human connection.”

“Jubilee is soooo dangerous. Enough platforming of fascists, racists, and nazis, this is enough!” commented u/namas_D_A.
