Hopefully that causes a Streisand effect.

What is the streisand effect?

I used to love her music and movies but can't stand her now because she thought I want to listen to her political opinions?

Is that it?

When you try to hide something from the public, it makes them want to see it even more. Here's the relevant wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

A lot of people don't take Lindell seriously though (including many of Republicans), so they won't really feel compelled to watch a 1+ hour video of him no matter how much his video gets censored.

It is a long video — I listened to it while knitting so I didn’t watch it and see all the graphics.

Regarding Lindell — what he lacks in finesse he makes up for in enthusiasm and conviction. History has shown that people like Lindell can change its course.

(Also - anyone who can overcome a narcotics addiction and then start up a multi-million dollar business is an exceptional person.)

I mean, people didn't really give a rats ass about Barbara Streisand until it was censored. The hope is that people seek it out solely to give a middle finger to big tech.

Similar to Br’er rabbit and the briarpatch, but with modern media and often unintentional. Etymology stems from Barbara Streisand freaking out on the paparazzi for photographing her multimillion dollar mansion in Malibu, causing even more attention

The Streisand effect is a social phenomenon that occurs when an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information has the unintended consequence of further publicizing that information, often via the Internet. It is named after American entertainer Barbra Streisand, whose attempt to suppress the California Coastal Records Project's photograph of her residence in Malibu, California, taken to document California coastal erosion, inadvertently drew further attention to it in 2003. Attempts to suppress information are often made through cease-and-desist letters, but instead of being suppressed, the information receives extensive publicity, as well as media extensions such as videos and spoof songs, which can be mirrored on the Internet or distributed on file-sharing networks. The Streisand effect is an example of psychological reactance, wherein once people are aware that some information is being kept from them, they are significantly more motivated to access and spread that information.
