YouTube salt -

[Yaks]

The overly sensitive are demanding it, but they're not really the focus, here. Like, Google will placate them with all the lip service in the world, but they'll still block LGBT videos from their "Youtube Kids" search; and they'll still demonetize and ban popular Social Justice youtubers if their content is proving to not be "advertiser friendly" enough.

At best, the overly sensitive are the useful idiots spearheading Google's push to make Youtube less of a loss-leader and more of a viable, profitable entity; and they too will be pushed out as soon as Google's fed up of pretending to placate them.

Yeah, when the first wave of demonetization and flagging happened, some LGBT vloggers threw a fit because they were included in that, despite having highly sexual content a lot of parents wouldn't allow their children to watch yet.

Watching the salt from the regressives when they realise what a Pandoras Box they have open in regards to things is goddamn wellspring of Salty Tears. The sword cuts both ways.

That said, I'm pretty sure the censorship mode is going to be limited to stuff like ISIS propaganda videos. Earlier in the year, YT said that they targeted viewers of flagged extremest content and increased the amount of counter-propaganda videos in their video suggestions.

I would have agreed with you a few years ago, but the shit with the fired Google employee from a few days ago is a good indicator of them not really distinguishing between things they merely find distasteful and outright malice.

Lol good

 

[NumberingYourState]

Wild Smile and StyxenHexenHammer will at least admit that the other creator platforms are just fallback options and won't quit YouTube flat out just because of shit hitting the fan.

PJW continues his tantrum about Youtube today. Now with hipster glasses to show how SMRT he is.

Looks like Youtube is going full G-rated:

FYI - it's still in the YouTube TOS that you have to be 13 to have an account.

(also when did Samuel Collingwood Smith start working at Youtube Support?)

Apparently, if you don't want to be a fatty... you're also getting demonetized.

Youtube are shit censoring to be honest. You can find for example Syrian's Alqaeda new leader speech, war shit, porn and other degenerate thing. I remember they uploaded a korean film that the guy and the girl are tortured by a dominatrix or some shit.Also, I remember a youtuber of my country faking his own death in a video and only saying that was fake the next day.
So , I only expect of this shit salt and nothing more

Hello friends! Today, I bring you great news from the land of YouTube. And by that I mean full fucking exceptionalism. I mean, so fucking brain damaged you are wiping up shit and drool and piss from this thing. The only words it can say now are "HURRRRR" and *autistic screeching*.

Yes, YouTube has demonitized Destiny 2, a game rated 'Teen' (which is for, you guessed it, 13-17 year olds) is apparently 'too violent' for YouTube. It seems that the rumors about YouTube hiring Anita McDumbcunt might have actually been true. Her stance on videogame violence is pretty much she hates all of it. Doing this is a move of pure ideology, not protection. They could have age-restricted it if they wanted, but they didn't. They made a statement by demonizing it.

Because who in their right fucking mind would demonetize one of the largest, most anticipated games of the year that is probably going to have ads playing on TV and the movies? That's right! Destiny 2! Which can be played on PG-13 movies and daytime and prime time television.

I take it back. There's no business plan here. There is no capturing television audiences. There is no desire to further groom content creators for a competing platform. YouTube has NO fucking idea what it is doing. But I know exactly what happened. The CEO is a stupid ideological cunt who saw YouTube make Donald Trump win, so instead of making it a platform for 'gamers' and 'nazis'. She is culling EVERYTHING that doesn't fall within her ideological window. It doesn't matter if it bleeds money, YouTube wants to rid it of anything that got Donald Trump elected. Or anything that it thinks it did. And limit it. I am absolutely sure of this. It isn't to limit 'harassment'. It is clearly pushing ideology now, 100%, full stop. It is what every major social network from Facebook to Twitter is doing. Censoring and forcing people off. Google is Progtard central.

There is no way you fuck with a major gaming studio whose game sold millions upon millions of copies and made the Halo franchise. You don't fuck with that because they and other gaming companies belong to your advertiser pool. Other gaming companies don't ignore this shit and will switch their marketing push out of the YouTube space and into Twitch. Which according to all estimates, is making money for Amazon hand over fist.

This is also another move to hit creators alternate revenue streams. Who is going to pay a YouTuber if their videos get demonitized? Of course, smart YouTubers have already ditched the YouTube adverts and found their own sponsorship and products to push. Also merchandise. Which means, until they are banned, they are effectively using YouTube's upload and video service for free. There might be attempts to marginalize them.

Google has become ideologically insane. It has lost its fucking mind. And the scary part is how much data it has and the haphazard way they enforce it. The company needs to be fucking gutted. Investors are happy now, but we all know how SJW stuff does in the long run. The only reason YouTube isn't dead yet is because it wasn't infested at first. But now its obviously driven by the ideology of a very, very vocal minority. I think, as a whole, the platform's days are numbered unless the ship turns itself around by firing this dumb bitch and everyone who works on the moderation/monetization team. Yes, it is the dominant right now. But there is nowhere near enough SJW content to support it. The views SJWs get that are monetized are paltry compared to other creators who get many times as much. Look at Francesca Ramsey. Her numbers are fucking pathetic. Anita Sarkessian's numbers, pathetic. People who have sponsorship's aren't even going to bother monetizing videos anymore.

The problem is how long will it take and how much money will it bleed? They are obviously accelerating the process. Straight up demonetizing Bungie, in another world, would be a fire-able offense. But in Google, its the norm. And that's the danger of companies like this. When they begin to enforce their morality and worldview, where do you go?

This but...

The real fucked part in here is that some people take the e-money for realsies in here, and youtube's ads has just decided that they don't want them not because of quality or effort and instead have abandoned all semblance of meritocracy in favor of PC.

Tl;DR Youtube isn't just a business, is showbiz, e-hollywood.

Here's the thing though - anyone making bank off YouTube has been making bank through one source and one source only - advertising. Youtube is beholden to advertisers, they already run at a massive loss. So while I get being miffed that a formerly free place for shouting your opinions at the world is no longer free, anything beyond that is just autism and entitlement.
