Darkening Demise Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Lol I just...I just can't breathe...I'm laughing too hard! Safe Space! Safe Space!
Kendo 2 Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Demonetizing 'controversial content' didn't work so now they are trying something else. And just like demonetizing videos, this will be applied across the board too. This is going to hit 3rd wave feminists and SJWs just like it will MRAs and the deplorable alt-right. It's a bad idea all around.
Kamen Rider Kuuga Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 YouTube is burning and I love it, because FUCK it and Google.
coffeelover239 Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 "Mass flag videos" That doesn't sound too good. At all.
bjornk Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Youtube wants censorship, but they want to be doing it themselves. First the ad-friendly content, i.e. self-censoring content creators, and then this, which is basically allowing random people to censor the content they don't like. It's amusing to see that all these big IT companies like Microsoft and Google are indeed managed by clueless retards, just like others...

bjornk Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 We live in an era in which people or companies literally pay for "likes", "reviews" even votes in elections. Who's gonna stop me from becoming a "Youtube Superhero" and then sell my "services" to other people/companies to help them eliminate "negative" content?

Yeah, that feature is doomed to be massively abused.
Zor2k13 Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Whatever goes up must come down sooner or later oh and buh bye pewdiepie lol.
Kendo 2 Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Demonetizing as an 'incentive' didn't work because it was automated and done by tag searches. That meant it was fair and hit everyone equally. The alt-right Youtubers wised up pretty fast and stopped tagging their videos and some even sought sponsors and placed independent adds INSIDE their videos. Capitalist pigs that they are, they were back in business within a week. Since coercing Youtubers didn't work Google had to come up with something else. So now any moron with a Paypal account can effectively be a moderator and attack content they don't like. This is going to be a two-way street and it won't play out like SJWs think, that is unless Youtube gets directly involved and starts playing favorites. If it really is 'fair and equal' SJW Youtubers will be hit harder, since they are the ones who cry and bitch about people disagreeing with them. Maybe Youtube is getting ready for the when UN takes over ICANN on Oct 1st.
gregathit Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 While I'm certainly no fan of google or youtube, the pot shots taken at others are not acceptable on this site. Thread closed for drama.
