Again, or still?
Yes.
me, thinking of elsagate
First time?
The whole: youtube has to be children friendly is the dumbest thing ever. If you let your children unsupervised browse YouTube you ar ea bad parent, if you let YouTube raise your children you are also a bad parent. Just because youtubers say frick, it's not child friendly it's annoying
Hard agree. Buy your kids DVD sets or pirate if you know how and limit their screen time.
Dropping kids in front of youtube is shitty patenting.

Kids ask for a YouTube show, I get to evaluate and then they get safe watching
Just like I got DVDs as a child, my kid would get a hard drive with approved material.
Wrong comment, sorry.
meanwhile actual content creators are getting demonitized for happy wheel level gore (small red particles that come out when a stick man's limbs come off)
so dumb.
And "Heavy Is Dead" gets age-restricted because Spy comically hangs himself :/
And if they say a bad word too early. Good thing no one knows what they mean when they call it suislide
That's the funniest part of it, it's only security theater. I know content creators who go by the ideology of swearing is allowed it just can't be in the first 30 seconds of the video which is hilarious to me. So you're telling me that the first 30 seconds is the only part of the video that matters? Makes me laugh
Again?
Meanwhile I can't even upload commercials for archival purposes without getting copyright strikes on my account. How is YouTube so bad at this.
Copyright protection is easy. Detection of novel forms of obscenity is hard.
I'd argue it's extremely hard, even.
You know, as much as I hate it.... "you know it when you see I but hard to definet" really is accurate.
There's plenty of things that aren't outright illegal that are completely inappropriate around children.
And if there are things that are context specific, it gets a lot harder to make a computer recognize a problem.
Audio cues are easy to scan for and computers are pretty good at recognizing sounds, especially in regards to copyright detection (even if their interpretation of "fair use" clause is still fucked 6 ways)
Video is a lot harder unless the computer is trying to match direct images (it's a lot easier to recognize a still frame from The Avengers when it's uploaded full size than it is to recognize a slightly warped, smaller cropped version with someone in front of it commenting on the video)
also, they don't want care.
More importantly it's expensive.
Because that’s the way the legal system works.
“Oops, had some harmful/illegal content on there? Nobody was /really/ hurt, or at least, we weren’t directly causing harm. I’ll take it down and eat a small fine.
Vs
“Oh I’m sorry, I’ll take down the 30s clip of your 90s movie. it has caused you 3million in damages? I’m so sorry, here’s some tools that will automate detection and removal of your property. I’m so sorry”
So Elsagate never stopped?
This has to be a state actor thing, nobody else has the resources to deploy such a long lasting and changing content farm. Some psyops to fuck future generations of adults up?
Never doubt the impact bad incentives can have on a large group of individual actors.

In other news: healthy grass is green and the sky in a clear, sunny day, is blue.
Damn, when I was a kid we had to hunt around in the woods for our obscene material.
Looking under benches in parks worked as well.
You heard of elsagate?
And PeppaPigGate.
Ok I definitely get why you don't want that content to be seen by children. I watched some of that shit.
But I also must say most of the scenes won't be understood by children. However the overall content is bad and makes people dumb.
I am sure that you have children whose parents say, that's a comic, nothing bad can happen there, watching that.
6 million views on that shit........
It's okay. It only some, so a big majority is good and they catch some of the bad.
