As mostly everyone knows, Youtube is a place for ideas, games, entertainment. But a lot of it is changing now. There has been a lot of new guidelines people must follow, but recently, Youtube has released a list of new community guidelines. Mainly, the ones I am gonna talk about is that you are not allowed to curse and you cannot discuss any controversial ideas.

Crazy

There are many other community guidelines, but you should search them out. Many Youtubers make a living by making videos, and a lot of them curse and discuss controversial things. In this state of matter, I believe that even talking about the COMMUNITY GUIDELINES is even controversial. I really don't like Youtube anymore. Let me guys know what you think in the comments.

It sucks. On twitter people have been using the hashtag #YouTubeIsOverParty

News links please, or it doesn't go on this board.

It's not the Community Guidelines, it's for YouTube Partners that are selling advertisements on their videos as YouTubers. This has always been a part of the YouTube Terms of Service; it's just more publicly known now.

Nobody's reporting on it legitimately (just a bunch of biased hype / scare nonsense), but the jist of the situation seems to be that family friendly advertisers don't want their advertisements on controversial videos again.

Because YouTubers aren't using accurate tags and metadata during upload, YouTube can't filter the ads properly, but YT knows they can't rely on all its users to learn how to do that. So they're trying to update the algorithm to figure that out itself now and are going nuclear on the videos it finds until they get it right.

But of course, everyone is freaking out because they're a bunch of fanfags that need to protect their precious little senpai, who are too dumb to understand that YouTube's ad income is where their favorite YouTuber's ad income comes from. Lord.

>>5 It also has far less to do with YouTube than it does with the advertisers. The videos won't be removed, just not sold advertising spots.

If advertisers--as in, the people paying YouTube--aren't willing to pay you to cut an ad for their kids book between some swearing and pictures of bloody corpses, why the fuck would you get mad at YouTube for that? Way to kill the messenger.

Not to mention that even the demonetization has been going on for a while. So it seems like it'll be quite a long time before YouTube can develop the technology (or telepathic abilities) needed to determine the content maturity level of all videos, so they can sort ease the fury of the family friendly advertiser with content-based classifications.
