a gal shot up the youtube headquarters

just cause they provide the service free of charge doesnt mean they cannot abuse users. an brown townogy: server hosts can kick and ban anyone they want, but just cause they own/created the server doesnt make their actions justifiable or right, it just means they /can/ do that.

but in youtube's case, they /have/ to do it. their direct source of income is refusing to pay them for viewership on certain videos. if youtube were to continue to monetize said videos, the entire system would become unsustainable. youtube would be paying content creators out of their own revenue which would eventually result in a net loss. the only way youtube would be able to sustain themselves is if they payed everyone a smaller cut per view and in that scenario every channel on youtube would suffer

its easier to demonetize a video on why rape is ok than it is to pay an educational history channel video half as much per view. the former is better for business as well on all ends and is good in the public's eyes

....im not sure i follow this logic. are you saying that if the creators who make the stuff people watch left, people would still continue watching youtube? cause i dont see how else youtube makes money

They probably make a stuffton of money off those automated kids channels. The most viewed YouTube videos are music and toy videos

yeah, thats what people watch. if all kids toys channels and VEVO channels suddenly disappeared youtube would collapse. like 80% of youtube's video list has under 1k views, while 1.3% have over 100k views. youtube could clear like 70% of all their videos tomorrow and they'd still make just as much revenue. however, if they clear that 1.3% that has all the views, they'd collapse

im didnt say demonetization is bad with my first post - i understand why. im sayin that theyve done controversial stuff that people take offense at. personally i dont find demonetization that outrageous, its the other stuff thats questionable.

they would be a big content creator then. reread my post

[thegoodperry]

what did they do? i havent really been exposed to youtube's other faults because the only things ive ever seen people complain about are adpocalypses

[Ragequit]

one example is that youtube deleted some larger channels based on guns, then reinstated most but not all of them

[Mr.Noßody]

Conan, dont.
It's not worth it.

[Frankie²]

Shut up this is progressive. School shootings are a part of american culture. It's nice to see that america is finally opening up to diversity.

it really is progressive, if you think about it all honor students have been white males. Now, it's not a school and it's not a male. This is shaking up the news!
