Youtube’s terms of service update is every social justice warrior’s wet dream

Yippee less self important retards thinking they have a point by appealing to the mass mentality challenged. Couldn't give a rat's ***.
 
In this world, you get paid as much as you are given. Whether content is good or bad, if it make money by popularity, then it makes money.

Same with companies. If they want to shoot themselves in the foot by managing advertisements terribly, fine. It is just hard to watch someone fail so hard when they have enjoyed so much success (even if it was due to the efforts of content creators rather than management).

This won't last, this kind of heavy censorship will see so many videos being flagged and youtube will lose a lot of money. There will be a lot of protest and controversy about this.

Every one (with any monetisation involved) should upload with tags that aren't considered acceptable, etc. they'll change their policies pretty quick when it hits their bottom line.

I don't know about you but I quite enjoy the documentaries and stuff on Youtube. There's a LOT of good, interesting stuff on there, not just vlogs and games.

Whenever someone asks this question, I always post these as they're very well done and very interesting. I'm always on the look out for more. I love history but some of the documentaries are so drab and dreary they make me want to claw my eyeballs out.

Same here, I've literally learned several NVQs worth of stuff to professional level just by youtubing how to do something, then deciding that if that particular channel owner/guy in front of camera managed to tie his shoes in the morning and make a video about carpentry/window fitting/electrics without harming anyone in the process then I can learn that skill to better level...


Seriously about terms of service update - this is classic "corp too big for it's own good" syndrome. Alicia from sales emailed everyone that theallamericanconservativefizzydrink inc. complained about their advert being shown on a channel where transvestites joke about pooing through people's letterboxes. Meeting was called, Patric from relations proposed vetting all videos for "advertiser friendly content". Applause. Voted for 6, 4 were absent. Edith from marketing drew guidelines. Temporary workforce hired to implement. Before the day ended the entire reason to have YouTube over gazillion other video platforms collapsed.

Some of the content creators on youtube have certainly been inspirational to me - some of Adam Savage's earlier one day builds really got me to think laterally about problems and an interest in making stuff in a way nothing else really has - sadly the recent content on tested has been a bit meh.
 
Apparently, nothing has changed from Youtube's end - these videos would have been flagged anyway - the change is purely in the information given as to why they were flagged (previously, not much info)
 
Ultimately a sponsor has a right to choose what their products are associated with, you can't tell them what they can or can't do with their own money. I have no issue with this unless the videos are taken down out right

This really, but youtube are doing it the lazy way, rather than targeting certain audiences with certain ads using certain videos, they are trying to make all sponsor videos safe for all advertisement.

They are free to make the mistake, it will eventually bite them on the ass and also makes the advertisement less effective.
 
YouTube = Google. Google want to control EVERYTHING. I hate Google.

I enjoy watching people like Markiplier crap their pants whilst playing scary videos. If he makes a lot of money from it, good for him. However nearly all of his videos have swearing and/or sexual innuendos in them. Surely that means all his videos will be not monetisable? (If that's a word).

I would never bet my career/life income on a service that is owned and run by Google. Because when something like this happens, where does it leave you?
 
Does someone at YouTube manually review every video uploaded for inappropriate content or do they rely solely on automatic tools?
