Responses[edit]
Dawson's video on conspiracy theories, including whether Chuck E. Cheese's serves reused leftover pizza to customer, garnered a response from the company's spokesperson saying "“The claims made in this video about Chuck E. Cheese’s and our pizza are unequivocally false ... No conspiracies here — our pizzas are made to order and we prepare our dough fresh in restaurant, which means that they’re not always perfectly uniform in shape, but always delicious.”[10]
Dawson's video also created a response from YouTube, on their stance on conspiracy theory content, who said “as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the user experience across our site, we’ll begin reducing recommendations of borderline content or videos that could misinform users in harmful ways.”[10] Initially the video was demonetised by YouTube (stripped ads from the video) however this ability was later revealed as an error "After manual review, YouTube reinstated Dawson’s ability to include ads on the video, saying it wasn’t in violation of the site’s advertising guidelines. It was also able to appear on the front page and be recommended to other users."[11]
