I don't believe that any of the videos described were made for views or with the intention of having an audience. Many things go beyond your capacity for empathy if you're oblivious to them and their magnitude – they're shocking for a reason. I don't see wilful ignorance or filtered media as being a solution to any problem, but a big problem in itself. You seem to care about preventing people who "enjoy" this stuff from seeing it more than allowing anyone to see the world for what it is, if they choose.

Hah foolish. There are many well-written posts in this thread that say the exact opposite of you. They’re right.
With the money part I agree with you (most would).
brutal reality is the only weapon against mass-indoctrination.
can you even imagine if Iraq was a western country? would Syria happen if 1/100000 of Iraq was televised? would Iraq happen if child deaths under sanctions was televised? can empathy see through the fog of indoctrination/demonization/skin-color?
go ahead, shadowban again and again.
Human suffering should not be monetized.
Perpetrators must not get any audience at all and must have no outlet for showcasing their acts.
If you must watch gore to see the "real world" then you're part of the problem. Empathy doesn't require seeing someone getting dismembered.
