Intention: YouTubers can stop with the whole self censoring shit.
Example: Unaliving; PDF file; grape; etc.
Reality: Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, and other right wing grifters receive zero censorship while YouTubers still have to self censor to receive monetization.

They won’t ever say it out loud but they have always removed videos for mentioning alternative frontends or other technology they view as direct threats to their revenue stream.
for being violet
But what if it was chartreuse?
Intention: YouTubers can stop with the whole self censoring shit.
lol. that’s not the intention.
Actual reality: Right-wing grifters are already on a “whitelist”, as long as they also talk about lower taxes, lessening regulations and worker’s protections, and also got popular enough. Source: knew a former moderator for Google.
whitelist vs discovered the algorithm, same thing really.

“Free speech” under capitalism means the freedom to promote fascism, rascism, misogyny, homophobia, genocide, etc…
But if you post half a second of a Disney movie, your account will be permanently deleted.
They opened their doors to the goose stepping. Fucking corporate shitheads.
See the issue here is Google/Youtube still get to be the ones to decide what “may outweigh the harm risk”. And the answer I bet will usually be whichever one serves their financial interests.
Which on one hand sure, it is their platform after all. But don’t do me dry and claim you used lube.
This is such bad news. I’m sympathetic to content creators who have to step on eggshells to please the algorithm/advertisers… But this?
Yeah, this is not that. We all know who this is for.
almost all the right wing contents get pushed to the front. there are some that are also rw that is buried by the algorithim, because they are loud mouths, i wonder if this will change for them too.,
We will (still) allow children’s cartoon characters to be mutilated and put into explicit situations and then push them as child friendly, but how dare you use a swear in the first 15 seconds of a video or say the work kill.
Great, now that 50% of a video can be a direct call for genocide, does that at LEAST mean I can use ONE instance of a “bad” word or speak of “icky” things like death and drug abuse without being demonized?
Moderators were previously told to remove videos if one-quarter or more of the content violated YouTube policies. Now, that limit has been increased to half.
This seems like alien speak to me. They announce that shit, someone read it, and then repeated it in an article. But what does it mean?
Can you have 6 contents and make 2 really crazy? Can you tell people to commit violence for 5 minutes and then review a game for 6 minutes? Is there a dude with tvtropes open going through and marking the contents of content?
It depends on who is being targeted.
If you make a video calling for attacks on women, palestinians, gay people, etc., that’s all good!
If you talk about taxing rich people, that’s extreme violence. Immediate ban.
Believe it or not, straight to jail.
I’ve worked for TnS at a different company.
I would guess it is likely per video, or they have multiple types of review going over it on a per video basis and then also maybe the channel as a whole?
So you could have half of any video contain the violating content, and it would be clear.
Introducing: Pay More, Say More
Surely this can’t become deeply problematic for the social fabric.
Videos are allowed if “freedom of expression value may outweigh harm risk”
oh it’s that easy huh. why didn’t we think of this before lol.
At least true crime youtubers won’t have to bleep half their videos anymore /s
youtube shadowbanning, demonitization and censorship is the most retarded shit that’s ever happened to the internet. the whole website is videos and comments of people who cater to kids and commercial advertisers and cant say shit.
I’m gessing that’s not gonna positively impact the people i watch and instead go towards some dumb shits.
This sucks but I think this will lead to a Youtube exodus and other platforms like Peertube will creator and user base will grow
How many people have even heard of peertube?
when the site becomes a 100% right wing echo chamber people will flee it.
