Has the cultural revolution claimed another high-profile scalp?
The New Jersey vlogger and high-end intermediate surfer Ben Gravy has, at the whim of American online video-sharing platform YouTube, been suspended from posting his popular videos indefinitely.
Movie-star handsome Ben, thirty-three and who draws a striking resemblance to Woody Harrelson, told BeachGrit “YouTube thinks I’m hacked because I’ve been on WIFI in Puerto Rico so they put my account on ‘hidden’ so nothing new can come out until they go through their vetting process. It’s fucked, haha.”
I asked, how much you lose? Ten, fifty k?
“Take a bit boys, taking a hit,” he said.
Now, I ain’t paranoid, mostly.
But this suspension thing seems a little off colour given the spate of cancellations, the great cultural revolution currently shifting every know parameter of civic life.
Has Ben upset the cultural vigilantes?
Is everyman Ben too cisgender, too white, too protestant in his hard-working can-do-anything, refusal-to-play-the victim approach to life?
A drunk who came good?
In the past few days, we’ve lost a noted Billabong artist, the owner operator of Energy Orgasm Retreats in Bali, and now… Ben?
When will the hand come down on your shoulder?

What in the actual fuck made you write an article about this where you go out on a completely imaginary limb that he’s being “cancelled” for being a white cisgendered man? How far up your ass did you have to reach to pull that out
Screw YouTube they need some real competition. I came home from work a few months ago and found out I was banned for life from YouTube with no explanation. Ridiculous internet Nazis.
Full of shiiitttt…
Already has – more than once. No longer have a channel only lurk. Cancelled Facebook for being jailed on many occasions for absolutely no reason – or for things I did not say. Have moved onto alternatives like Gab and Bitchute and Rumble where free speech still exists. BIG MEDIA wants major players not little content creators or anyone they target for their own perverse or algorithmic reasons.
Bravo!!! Wipe em out Bro! 😆
Jacob Nate Beechchild did it?
I think we need to have people like Bexy so we know the difference between good and evil… personally, I like a little bit of evil in my life. 😈 all good is no fun. Keep it real!
Hmmmm…..Derek: proud boy, ozzie style! “are hard working, white, can-do attitude (beautifully handsome) protestants being picked on by ultra-all-powerful ‘equalists’????” Good lord Derek. You’re an old pervy man from the 60s tryin to hide in modern society. Parting comment: constantly commenting on the beauty of men does not mean you’re “open”, “modern”, of “free.” It simply means you’re probably bi-sexual. You (and maybe Chas too) should explore that instead of angsting over being white.
I like Bex.
Stirring up fake racial controversy over this is disturbing and just shows how retarded the surf community can be.
Honestly, it’s not just the surfing community. Every network is making “gravy” off race wars. It, not unlike sex, sells. So essentially, Race wars is the new sex!
It sounds like he logged into his account on a trip in Puerto Rico and youtube thought someone had stolen his password or something.
Yep. It helps to read the article before commenting.
Not sure if this is some weird from of sarcasm or if you cant read. Cause it says why his account was suspended in the 3rd sentence.

Clicks, mate. Even real Beachgrit needs their sweet clicks and outrage comments.
We all get woken up from “the Dream” its only a matter of time!
You mad, bro?
That’s heavy bro
God bless.
I think you’re onto something., but I don’t know what.
Seeing as how I quite like biscuits and gravy, am I being culturally appropriationistism?
No wait, my mom is from South Texas and learned how to cook that at her mom’s knee on the farm which they lost to the federal gummit by defaulting a few hundred dollar on a loan.
Jesus H Christ, Ben is vanilla as fuck. Let the man be
I recently order a breakfast burrito and asked for half of the gravy. Did I cancel my burrito?
Just start a new account,
Duh…
Perhaps he shoulda put an adult / NSFW rating on his latest content or dumped it into some niche section if he insists on making videos of himself taking a *hit.
I dunno. I kinda skimmed the article.
Why isn’t he on OnlyFans, already?
Is that the shop that sell lamps and ceiling fans?
Only when some chick is tied up to a fan or trying to insert a lamp somewhere it doesn’t necessarily fit/belong.
You have been looking for him and are disappointed?
Not really but I thought OnlyFans was the default video medium these days.
