New youtube stuff, everyones butt is sore.

Many channels getting the hurting of the butts over youtubes new system.
I'm happy because these channels try to justify their actions yet they are the ones who are taking advantage of it with poor content. (Leafyishere, Keemstar, possibly H3H3, and many smores)
I'm subscribed to 10Cats.



But in all honesty the system will be temporary due to many complaints from channels begging their fans to complain.

Youtube has a new system?

Guess I missed that.

The main focus behind the change is to stamp out cyberbullying, but some of the changes include profanity and innuendos which a lot of genuine content creators all have.



They do go on to say graphic images are fine so long as there's an established context, but they also say "Don't promote your own shit or else advertisers won't like it" and "Don't put explicits (swearing, images) in your title or thumbnail". Considering YouTube's track record with how they deal with Copyright claims I'd say people's concerns that their videos will get demonetised because it's not deemed "Advertiser friendly" over technicalities aren't unfounded.

I dunno, I kinda like H3H3.

I think people will start embracing Patreon even more, which in some cases is more profitable. That or just change the way they present their videos, tags on videos, video titles, and when the more "risky" stuff is shown/talked about(because simply talking about things...like the news will get your stuff demonetized). And least likely, but still possible, people move to a different site.

Kinda hoping for the 1st one, since it doesn't force me to use multiple sites, helps me avoid censorship(to some extent), and it gets rid of ads.

YouTube may very well end up like Dailymotion.

And this is why "authorities" should NEVER get to decide what is bullying.

You should rephase this before someone think your some weird autarchist.

you know what I mean. Feminists

What authorities.

This is just advertisers deciding not to plaster their ads on everything that gets page views. From their point of view it's hard to justify putting juice ads in the same video that covers stupid celebrity drama or depressing news headlines.

I was thinking more along the lines of BS feminist drama. Like on twitter, you can be accused of harassment and the website. aka the "authorities" will ban you.

Youtube has had that problem with the report button.

I was going off on what gravity said: "The main focus behind the change is to stamp out cyberbullying, but some of the changes include profanity and innuendos which a lot of genuine content creators all have."

lolkay, but again, What authorities?


This isn't about retarded victim complexes some people might have, their videos are still being hosted (for free I might add) on youtube. Advertisers have chosen not put their ads there.

Cry wolf/feminist all you want.

>Cry feminist

Dude, I just thought this was what it was about

chill

Well I could tell you to chill on the SJW/Feminist paranoia.

But the implication went over your head to the point that you're telling me to chill. Situational irony.

Ha, fake laugh hiding real pain.

You really need to check out twitter

edit: But the thing that actually made me think it was a feminist thing was that. there a feminist who got demonetized but when she made a complaint to youtube. She was able to get it back.

I've known about Twitter being shitty for a while now. Twitter was shit even before they got people like Randi Harper on their team.

AVGN style reviews were already going out of style, and thank god because "man angry at old video game" gimmick was already stale by 2008.

And all sorts of people are being demonitized. Heck, well known and established youtube people like that Phillip DeFranco(?) guy got demonitized for blogging about touchy subjects.
Despite this has nothing to do with censorship, and everything to do with image appeal and money.

Did you just watch a Dose of Buckley or something

Don't know what that is.

Nothing I said was wrong either. Even if the advertisers were all ES Jay Dubya's, they have a right to not give people who "wrong think" money, and youtube has zero obligation to host people's content, give people money for said content.

People can always go to other sites though, that being said they're all worse with exception to twitch. And even they're the kind of people who shut down things with more "offensive & controversial" content than youtube.
