--- WHY I'M DOING THIS --
For over two years I’ve been tracking the numbers, and the trend is clear: searches for “medicinal mushrooms” on Google are dropping fast.
This isn’t just random and it's the same for any mushroom related to health. I believe there’s an outside force at work and one that is quietly censoring mushroom content and the creators behind it. No matter how mushrooms are framed, the content is being suppressed. And when people aren’t seeing mushroom stories in their feeds, they stop searching for them altogether.
In the video above, I walk you through what’s happening, why it matters, and who I think is behind it.
I hate to say this, but the censorship is also forcing a shift on this channel, unless something changes. So much of what made this channel grow was rooted in the fungal world, but that content is now being heavily suppressed.
To show you how strange this has become, nobody under the age of 25 was shown the latest videos. In the future I'll either be making videos for an older demographic or finding ways to make videos that youtube will show to younger audiences. Still trying to work that out and where there is a need for quality education.
Let me know what you think and thank you for being a part of this journey.
