There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov
yea, I do. but this is about individual videos. one vid that may or may not contain opinions or imagery an advertiser doesn't want to associate a certain brand or service with. like I reeeeeeeally doubt you'll find some wholesome ad about life insurance before a filth frank vid.
hard to say, I maintain that YT is run by people who don't either care like you said or want to make YT this definitively wholesome family friendly thing, which the users and creators don't want. and it's the ad companies that can't seem to handle it. so yeah this could either be a thing that's enforced for the rest of time or I'm betting it'll be under the rug before people even realize it.
Google at the very least should be explaining themselves with some substantial justification.
It'll be very interesting to see how selective they are at enforcing this new rule, I'm SURE it won't be abused for political ends /s
What? That is just craaaazy. That doesn't happen ANYWHERE on the internet... ANYWHERE! I mean, moderators doling out punishment based on their personal opinions regardless of what the rules actually say? Man, I can't remember the last time that has happened anywhere that I personally frequent. /sarcasm
So ya. More pathetic rules for more websites to silence or harm the opinions that they don't like. Can't wait. What an age we live in.

People still think this is about politics? Go figure.

Well if anything good came out of this, its that. People who post private information of others on the web in order to get them harassed in real life should not be making money while doing so.

Youtube is my main source of entertainment, although I focus on the gaming side. Its a fucking cesspool and cesspools are not attractive to advertisers. Its a shame, because its a beautiful cesspool

Eat meat. Drink water. Do cardio and burpees. The good life.
Well, it does say that they will demonetize videos that contain things they consider to be controversial political conflicts.
If youtube was doing it for the advertisers, they would allow the advertisers to set their own preferences on which videos their advertisements play for. Instead youtube is just taking the reins and deeming videos not fit for advertisements based off of their personal interpretations and not the advertisers.

It all looks nefarious at first, but once you see it's all done by a bot looking at tags then you kind of have it coming.
Tagging a video with the word jew, common boogie. You don't need to use such tags anyway, and ya it's the adverts that are choosing which tags.
Sad to see companies like google trying to do this, largely for political reasons. It's a form of propaganda, by discouraging dissent of opinions they disagree with, they are essentially advocating censorship, This only validates people's concerns about political correctness leading to large levels of censorship, not just from the government but from corporations.
This has been posted by H3H3 productions, in which ethan attempts to explain what's happening.
The worst part about YouTube sucking is there lacks an alternative. Dailymotion was destroyed by Yahoo, Vimeo isn't browser friendly, and probably nobody else.

Guess 90% of the videos i see will be fucked then
