Nasime Sabz Aghdam was a passionate animal rights supporter who believed she was being discriminated against by YouTube because she was vegan, and promoted animal welfare in her quirky, interesting videos, which she claimed were being filtered. 37
But why would YouTube filter a vegan channel just when veganism ( a 3% increase in plant based diet creates a 10% decreased risk of death ) was becoming the fastest growing lifestyle movement in history ? 33 70
Her videos saw a drastic decrease in views after YouTube changed its monetization policies due to the advertiser boycott known as the adpocalypse in April 2017, which spurned videos even slightly out of the white bread mainstream. 37 103
She had a cush job with her father's electrical contracting company to pay for her artisticly designed costumes and video gear. 20 123
So why would an ethical vegan in this age of mass shootings give up her life for $55 to $884 per month social blade estimated she had been making, just to wound three people at lunchtime with a 9 millimeter Smith and Wesson with two ten round magazines ? 48 1171
idau.org says that while only four percent of the u s population hunts, they kill over 200 million animals per year while vegan peace adds that 3.4 million shot and wounded ducks and geese in the U.S. and Canada go unretrieved each year. 41 213
God, who also was a vegan, said in the books of law and books of prophets "do unto others as you'd have done unto yourselves." 25 238
" Both the boycott and the policy shift provoked outrage and panic from YouTube creators large and small, many of whom reported losing upwards of half of their income in April and May. The comparatively detailed current NAF guidelines had not yet been published, and no one understood why their videos were being flagged or how to avoid it. "
" It'sunclear how much money Aghdam was making for her views, but SocialBlade estimated that she was making $661 to $10,614 a year from her four YouTube accounts. "
" Her four channels collectively earned more than 9.2 million views on YouTube since she joined the site in 2010. "
" On YouTube, a creator can estimate that they’ll get somewhere between 25 cents and $4 per 1,000 views. These data points change from time to time and are not an exact science, but generally hold true for most channels,” SocialBlade CEO Jason Urgo said. "

" Aghdam, a 39-year-old Southern California resident, worked for her father’s electrical company and at one time operated a business called Peace Thunder, NBC News reports. She was listed on Facebook as an artist, NBC adds. "

"It was a 9mm Smith and Wesson that had a capacity of 10 rounds. San Bruno police confirm that one of the magazines was empty and that Aghdam loaded a second to fire more shots at YouTube employees before she turned the firearm on herself. "
" Numerous research studies, both in the U.S. and Canada, estimate a wounding rate of more than 30% of ducks and geese. Which means that between 3.4 and 3.7 million ducks and geese go unretrieved each year in the U.S. and Canada combined.(1) "
" A member of the Maine BowHunters Alliance estimates that 50 percent of animals who are shot with crossbows are wounded but not killed. A study of 80 radio-collared white-tailed deer found that of the 22 deer who had been shot with “traditional archery equipment,” 11 were wounded but not recovered by hunters. "
" Even though less than 5 percent of the U.S. population hunts, nonhunters are forced to share many wildlife refuges, national forests, state parks, and other public lands with armed individuals who enjoy killing animals. Almost 40 percent of hunters in the U.S. slaughter and maim millions of animals on public land every year. By some estimates, poachers kill just as many animals illegally "
"A mere four percent of the human U.S. population hunts, compared to 22 percent - over 70 million people - who enjoy watching wildlife alive. Wild animal watchers spend over $20 billion more than hunters on their activities that respect, rather than harm animals.
Despite increasing public opposition, hunting is permitted on 60 percent of U.S. public lands, including in over 50% of wildlife refuges, many national forests and state parks; on federal land alone (more than half a billion acres), more than 200 million animals are killed every year (McCarthy). "
