call me cynical, but I think dudes are trying to make money, and not die on their sword to fight censorship. they're gonna make sure their videos can be monetized
YouTube censorship is getting out of control

No matter platform your on you gotta abide by the rules to get paid
They all have to adjust whether they like it or not
Yeah, someone like Chris Smoove is insulated from this because he never cursed to begin with, dude been on that PG tip for years.
who will weep for those that have chosen to make a career of being a potty-mouth on youtube?
Facebook recently announced 3,000 additional employees to monitor the violent content on their Live service. YouTube can easily do the same to solve their problems. But they rather rely on algorithms and artificial intelligence to do the dirty work and we all know those things are not 100% accurate.

Call of Duty is still pretty popular. Whole channels are based off it and one day a switch is flipped and those videos can't be monetized for nonsensical reasoning.

Is it me or is everyone now signing up to Patreon?
Call of Duty is a rated 'M' game, and family-friendly advertisers don't wanna get behind that
Kellogg's doesn't want to sponsor a murder simulator (hyperbole)

Make your own luck.
"Easily" hire 3,000 people?
We don't even know that what Facebook is doing will work (my money's on no.)Facebook's business model also isn't built around live content in the same way Youtube / Google's biz model is built around ads. Fall back breh you're simplifying way too much.

If you have that big of a following and you're not pushing merch or some sort of product to your subscribers you're a fukkin idiot
Smart brother. One of the few Youtube personalities I actually respect.
Yeah he's a cool cat, doesn't scream, doesn't annoy people, doesn't curse, just does him and plays games.
LMAO I just found out about the COd shyt. Blame that stupid worthless cac pewdipie for this shyt
There's COD guys like TheMarkofJ who have never even cursed in a video
The YT COD community is huge and advertisers will miss out on the millions of views those videos get. Why don't they rate channels as mature and put controversial ones in a seperate, demonetized category. That way a channel like Vice can get ads for a documentary on Marijuana but a stoner channel where they get high won't.
Chris made a Smoove move years ago when he dumped COD for 2K
