For the uninitiated: Western propaganda about Iranian women all forcibly wearing headscarves is exaggerated into oblivion.

It is so blatantly fake that it’s debunked by a few seconds on Youtube:

Go to any random point in this video, which after the intro is one continuous long shot: https://youtu.be/HpCMThYr8WU?t=212

Or any other video on this channel. Or search the words “Iran walk” on youtube and go to some other channel and you can see a woman without headscarf every 20 seconds in busy areas.

    I see you edited your comment. I don’t understand what you’re trying to say with that screenshot.

      I included the comments above it in the screenshot because I reconsidered a link not being very handy. Ad-revenue is substantial for someone in Iran where the views can give them a lot more value.

        So if I’m interpreting this correctly, you’re saying the ad revenue may be small compared to what we in the so-called “Western” world would consider worthwhile, but for someone in Iran it may be a whole lot?

          I’m saying that the channel has a financial incentive to make the videos just like how the Tokyo and New York channels do. Probably more even because the ad revenue has relatively more value in Iran.

            Yes, that’s what I gathered, alright. I was coming from a perspective of privilege in assuming the person making these videos would be in a comparable financial situation as I am where this kind of revenue wouldn’t be worthwhile. But yes, I suppose people in Iran would cherish that amount more than even me (and I can’t work and receive disability benefits). Cleared that up, nice.
