A few months ago, YouTube banned anything related to health content that doesn’t align with the general medical consensus. In reaction to it, Dr. Eric Berg came out with the video on YouTube – Dr. Berg Gets Censored (Silenced).
What happened in the past few days is that YouTube said that if any health-related information does not agree with the World Health Organization’s view, the algorithm of YouTube will hide it from showing it to the users. Please note that they said “hide”. Not remove. They won’t remove it but hide it.
So, what does that mean is that “a big change” came around. The videos that had lots and lots of likes and huge amounts of engagement, were hidden or say buried by YouTube. And, that affected a lot of medical content creators and even certified doctors and medical professionals including Dr. Eric Berg.
Now, the reason behind this change, that YouTube cited is that they are protecting their user base against misinformation. For them misinformation is anything that opposes their viewpoint or more precisely WHO’s viewpoint.
But what if WHO’s viewpoint is wrong or biased? People have been asking the same thing for a long time now. It doesn’t make much sense to not trust certified doctors like Dr. Eric Berg and instead trust solely on World Health Organization. No offence here but we have seen in the past what happened during the times of COVID-19. The mishandling and all by WHO. We are not saying all this, but the users are. They are blaming WHO for everything. They don’t trust them anymore.
Also, people are more in favor of Dr. Eric Berg in this YouTube medical content censorship saga. One user on Reddit posted how he followed Dr. Berg’s medical advice, followed his Keto diet plan, and got rid of food obsession and obesity.
The user said to Dr. Berg how he appreciates him for the way he has helped him get healthy. He learned a lot of incredible lessons on nutrition and health from Dr. Berg and worked towards getting better and better.
The user goes forward and says that his respect for Dr. Berg has increased even more due to the issue of YouTube censorship and Dr. Berg coming forward in response to it with his video “Dr. Berg Gets Censored (Silenced)”.
Here’s a screenshot of the entire Reddit post:
And, this is not just it.
Dr. Eric Westman, who is also a certified doctor and has a great in the health community came up with a reaction video to Dr. Eric Berg’s Censorship video.
He supported the views of Dr. Berg on censorship and the Keto diet. Further in his video, Dr. Westman said, “I am torn because I want information to be excellent out there and I think the wrong people (Dr. Eric Berg) are being censored or put lower down on the list because the Keto diet is valid and evidence-based even though you may not know it, even though you haven’t read the papers. There are organizations that endorse the use of Keto diets, international organizations.”
The users are going berserk over the past few and more people are coming forward to support Dr. Eric Berg.
Look at the comments on a YouTube video by GojiMan in which he is bad-mouthing Dr. Eric Berg and telling people that he is lying:
Well, looks like bad-mouthing Dr. Eric Berg backfired for GojiMan.
One user went a little far in the comments section of the video and said to GojiMan, “It looks like GoJiMan does these CLICKBAIT titled videos to earn a buck or two, as his own videos (those where he is not using famous people’s names in the title) don’t get as many views. In the past month he has done 7 videos and 5 of them have famous names in the title!!!! And he does nothing but bitch about them. So it looks like that’s a part of his business model. I rest my case.”
Totally exposed – GojiMan!
And guess what Dr. Berg didn’t even step in. Instead, people who trust Dr. Berg and have been following his advice and getting healthier are getting the job done for him.
Call it appreciation for Dr. Berg, support, defense, or having his back – one thing is clear, people love him for what he’s been doing for years. Period.
