YouTube censorship is getting out of control

[winb83]

The geniuses at YouTube woke up one morning and said content creators can no longer monetize anything controversial on YouTube. This isn't direct censorship but people make a living off that site and overnight if you can no longer use profanity in a video and get money off it well guess what's gonna happen. People will gradually stop using profanity. They won't stop until they ruin that site.

it should be obvious that the pressure came from advertisers. they don't want their products associated with certain content, and you gotta play by their rules if you want their money

Yeah that's BS. If advertisers have an issue with certain content, let them be the ones to say that they don't want their ad on certain video and then pull that particular ad from that particular video. Otherwise, just get out of the fukking way. Was anyone asking for this in earnest? Who are these people that have problems with actual successful content? It just makes no sense to me.

yeah, but we've already seen the end product of that kind of situation. that's why you go to certain sites, and all the ads are for porn, or some kind of scam trying to install malware on your shyt

these youtubers have been enjoying that mainstream corporate money. but now they gotta play by the rules to keep getting it

No name no blame. I watching this one vid and dude is saying some foul sh1t about race. Then a Christian Mingle ad comes up I'm like

the issue is that google/youtube is not only bigger than these companies looking to advertise (by a large margin), but they are large margin the largest video site in the world.

The ball is in their court to tell those companies fukk off, this is why and how we became successful, if you dont want to advertise with us, theirs 100000000000000000000 companies that will. (they may have to lower their advertising costs but can also at the same time, pick up more advertisers)

You start rocking the boat on what made you successful in the first place and empires crumble. I know an upcoming streaming/upload company right now gotta be birdman rubbing they hands to this news and thinking of ways to bring popular youtubers to their service

nah, they really dont.. Twitch isnt the first video gaming site, not even close to it.. Xfire was king of streaming for YEARS the top streamers were getting paid pennys though. Twitch came up with a simple not as greedy solution. Split 50% of the subscription money ($5 = $2.50 to twitch, $2.50 to streamer) + a larger % of $ from ads, with the ability to run commercials at your doing. Donations and that shyt werent even around for the first 1-2 years of twitch or so. Now that donations are in, twitch streamers dont run too many ads because viewers get annoyed and they make more from donations. But when Twitch first started up, most streamers had mods bots in their channel to run an ad every 20 minutes automatically.

The original math on ads (im sure its much lower now), was $2 = 1000 views. So if a streamer, like say Kripp, who averages 20k viewers, runs 1 ad thats $40. But he has a bot (still does I believe) that runs ads every 20 minutes. Aka $60 a hour. + Subscription money.

While on xfire, he may of onjly been making $500-1000 a month at the most for the same amount of work.

Dont think a company is too big to get overran... Shout out to AOL

The ads have no relation to the videos they're placed on. Let's be real here when companies want direct association with the product then they go to the individual content creator and sponsor the video.

There are companies that advertise on this and other groups. Does that mean they support what a random poster says on any given forum. Should they say well if people post X then we're out? Those advertisers have a relationship with YouTube and advertise on YouTube not the individual content creators.

they'd rather have a blanket system than have to individually evaluate the constant influx of content creators. some channels, like Linus Tech Tips, do secure their own advertisers

Those forums themselves represent racism. YouTube itself is not representative of the videos content creators make. Here for example you can see an Amazon ad in a thread using a term like cac. That's not a positive term used with love for white people. Some poster making that thread is not representative of the owners of this site ot the site itself.

Not surprised. You have to understand that advertisers put themselves at risk by potentially "sponsoring" offensive content.

While it is BS, Youtube is probably thinking "Where else are they gonna go, Dailymotion?"
