@V____Z, the problem with this submission is not that it accuses Trump, but that it is not a research submission. It doesn't provide evidence, with links we can vet, supporting it's major claims. It's just a nameless, faceless guy spouting an opinion. We have a speculative subverse for posts that aren't based on supporting material for submissions like this.
The fact that you have chosen to post it here, when you know better, and have chosen to do so as a link post rather than a Discuss post adding supporting links yourself, makes me wonder about your intentions. You know we require support for claims.
However, rather than simply remove this and feed the ongoing "mods are repressing he truth" shill chorus, I'm going to give this an "Accuracy in Question" flair for now, so that people can be aware A) of the upswing in swiss-cheese submissions lacking support for major claims and B) who is making them.
This YouTuber doesn't actually include sources for his biggest claims, such as Epstein and Trump being accused together of raping a girl, and you haven't provided any links to them in a discussion post, either. It doesn't put a good light on your reputation as an investigator. You may want to consider taking this down yourself and reposting in v/pizzagatewhatever, where it belongs.
I have no problem just removing it. Not a big deal. Plus, this video has been submitted by others here a few times since this posting.
As for posting it as a direct link, "you know better" is both rude and inaccurate. What I know is that I am often one of the only people to go through the motions of posting everything as a discussion, and I see tons and tons of posts that are simply links. Why should I adhere to different rules? Why do you all have 2 options for posts when you assert here that you actually only accept one?
The two options are a Voat-wide thing, part of the platform. Believe me, if we could get rid of the Share a Link button, we would! The damn thing causes a huge number of unnecessary removals because it prevents people from being able to edit their submission.
