Herschel Sterling and his podcast called "Smell the Inside of Your Nose. Do it Right Now" has grown from 18 downloads and video views in the first week to 1281 total views and downloads across all the outlets he is using at the end of the fourth week. He has done it without Youtube, Twitter, X, Facebook or any of their sister companies.

The reason stated for this method is that the proprietors of those major companies are censoring people under the false pretense of morality rather than being honest about their profit motives. Sterling sites all sorts of bad information on these outlets, from harmful medical treatments, debunked news stories that have not been corrected, to flat earth theory being propagated on these sites.

Simultaneously, if someone tells a personal story about how they have been injured, or how their family has been affected by a war, they can be removed, demonetized, or outright banned from the site.

"There has been nothing but writing by all sorts of people on all the remaining free-speech outlets and it appears people are standing up to this gas lighting and nonsense. "My podcast effort is part of my way of pitching in on the First Amendment. There is a market in the US for free speech and honest conversation. Adults will determine for ourselves how we express ourselves and from where we get our information."

Sterling goes on to say that as soon as these outlets become honest, and stop making false claims about citizens when they remove content, and simply take an approach that reflects their business interests, he will gladly use their services. "If they want to run their AI on our content and remove what they don't like based on their profit interests, that would be fine, but that's not what they're doing; they're slandering good people who are telling the truth."
