--- Quote from: Tactical Nuke on August 01, 2017, 08:36:29 PM ---yeah the adpocalypse was a reaction to the WSJ stuffheads but who was the guy flagging videos like h3h3's as controversial content? it was either a bot or a tried-and-true SJW, but it wasn't the companies complaining, they don't have the time or resources to point out specific people, so they resort to Google's stuffty-assloving AI --- End quote --- several content creators like pewdiepie and penguinz0 explained that companies like coke or something would receive a complaint here and there that their product is 'supporting' a video that includes vulgarity or violence or other stuff. essentially WSJ blew it out of proportion and several ad companies decided that they can't have their ads displayed on non-kid friendly videos. so any videos that include cursing or violence or heavy loveual content or other 'non kid friendly' bullstuff have ad limitation and removed ad revenue. not necessarily youtube's fault. they have no benefit to demonetize potential sources of income unless those sources are actively hurting their income, which in this case, it did. this is what the adpocalypse is. it's not youtube saying 'lets kill political freedom by banning all right videos' its just companies like coke or sprite or other stuff saying 'these controversial videos are hurting us because people are associating our product with them" |

I've seen leftist YouTubers clearly affected by /pol/ false-flagging campaigns, one channel having its videos removed in entirety because of the way that Google manages YouTube, either because of biased moderators or a kind of lackadaisical attitude on the part of YouTube, probably making the choice to play it safe and just go along with it anyway without even making the attempt to review the content. This sort of thing doesn't just simply apply to conservative vloggers. This, of course, stems from a general attitude that YouTube has had over the years, making choices that piss off either the user base, content creators, or both out of a desire probably to save themselves from something that could potentially bite them in the ass later, which of course corresponds with a hostile culture between YouTube and the end user in which the former tends not to be open about the way that their policies are carried out at all. |
