YouTube initiating new policies that could be disastrous for just about everyone

[Deus Ex]

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.

Well yeah, the problem goes far beyond party lines and any kind of ideology. While google is left leaning, the potential for censorship of both sides is there. Youtube needs to get it's stuff together, or we need a new video sharing platform to support.

unfortunately i think google is the internet definition of too big to fail. they just have too much data and usage on youtube for anyone to start a serious migration to another service - if done too quickly the other service will fail due to not having the resources of google (servers, money, lawyers, etc)

"online terrorism"

What the forget drugs are they on?

Minds is the biggest shot at an alternative to YouTube right now IMO, the problem is like Conan said, the transition needs to be slow and steady in order to not forget up

EDIT: scratch that, it's more of a substitute for Facebook and Twitter but it does have potential to be a good video-distributing platform

did it really? i'm glad to hear that, didn't see it til now

[Mr Unicode]

he has it back, my guess is it probably was a bad match by whatever ai system they have filtering the videos n stuff

the system likely exists to filter out CIA things and actual extremist stuff and prevent straight gore from hitting the front page, and since its driven by ai it probably will forget up here and there. i'm not an expert on this though

I mean AI cant really forget up, its programmed to follow a set of orders and will only preform those orders and nothing more. If it "forgets Up" then its probably due to crappy programming.

but anyway on topic its kinda screwed up that youtube removed petersons channel and gmail.

Why would they do that
If anything that makes them far less reputable

if you checked a couple months ago you'd realize that 90% of the trending section was "10 REASONS WHY HILLARY IS A MURDERER". it was liquid /pol/ and any videos that were remotely left had their comment section spammed about how libtards should be executed

since it was removed the trending section has been filled with all these creative videos and has been a breeding ground for constructive criticism and cool videos. it really took a turn for the better

I thought youtube has been basically slowly killing everyone that uses it's platform since a year ago in handicapped ways because it's an easy triggered liberal snowflake...

[ReddBoi]
