Hello
E
He's essentially interviewing his boss.
Edit: Guys this was just a joke. I'm not seriously saying she's his boss. It was a joke.
Not really he’s a sole trader
He’s essentially interviewing the person behind the random number generator controlling the entire website.
@@ryedog exactly cos UA-camrs are not employees. They are sole traders. They are their own boss. When they upload that makes them contract workers.
Just because she has the power to prevent him from doing his job doesn't mean that she's his boss lol, he's his own boss unless someone else owns his UA-cam channel and pays him salary.
@@mayena5844 They are as much sole traders as I'm not a citizen of the United States. They have to abide by rules, they have to play the algorithm games, and in the end YT has total control over their future in their company
I would be sweating bullets talking to the woman who could literally end my career with a click of the button.
@Jody's Spicy Takes sadly they would still be fine.
I think the one nervous there was Susan.
UA-cam is gonna get destroyed with backlash Similar to removing dislikes
Wrong mindset
@Jody's Spicy Takes That's what you would think right? Yes people would be mad but considered to the gigantic mass of people on youtube, I can't truly imagine him making a huge affect.
I think it's funny that the algorithm never gave me this video despite the fact that I'm subscribed to Anthony. I think there's some sort of irony there.
Exactly
That was exactly my thought as well. I really wish UA-cam would overhaul the reward for having subscribers. But then again, balancing that with keep discoverability would be a challenging task.
The algorithm gave it to me 5 months later

It is annoying that, despite having a UA-cam *Kids* , they treat the standard version as if children are the priority.
Fr tho
It's like, I understand that we all *know* children are going to be on here regardless, BUT at the end of the day that comes down to parents, parental controls, and how much they let their children access, and how much they monitor it. Honestly, the more invested you seem in your child's interest in content & creators, the better idea you'll have of WHAT they're really watching. Parents who don't make an effort to keep up with these things who then criticize creators for their choice in content, as well as the platform for "allowing" their children to watch something are just ignorant.
the problem is youtube kids fucking sucks. im not surprised at how kids usually don't use it.
@@thefunniestenbyalive2054 it's a platform for literal kids, of course it's going to suck after you're like 10. But that's your parents fault for not being able to parent the way they're supposed to, not the rest of the adult population who watches UA-cam
because they just care about advertisers who want their products available to as many people as possible, especially the most impressionable (kids)
"we're trying to shut down illegal activity"
completely ignores channels completely based on animal abuse and child abuse while they shutdown random channels for no reason because of lack of context. fix your self
They don't care about filth. If it advances cultural Marxism it's full steam potato ahead with that. But someone making you actually think or question something or advance of American exceptionalism? Oh hell no, that sh# has got to go!
FACTS!

As of a last week, Susan announced she is stepping down from being CEO of UA-cam, but we’re all very nervous for the future considering who’s filling the role in her place…
Who is it??
@@Bozo-Gtag the guy who reportedly started the push to remove the dislike button, who came from advertising, among other red flags
@@bradhaines3142 So youtube's in even worse hands?
@@fdoofrrr much, suprisingly
The algorithm is
I clicked this video faster than you can say “I’m Anthony Padilla”
Heo yea.
Well obviously, he says, “my name is Anthony Padilla”
Same
@SAGE Central the force is strong within you
same lololol
Ideas for people to interview:
1- Multiple Sclerosis patients
2- Suicide hotline workers
3- whoever the hell has to fix Anthony’s ceiling every video
Edit: also I wanna add ex secret service workers. That’d be cool
Yessss
Yes the last one is an especially pressing issue haha
bro those ceiling fixers are making bank
My mom has MS so I think this would be really impactful.
Yess! Especially the first one, as my sister has MS, it would be very helpful
She basically dodged every question. I was hopeful going into this video, hoping to get some clarification for the decisions that youtube makes but im left with more questions than before.
did you actually watched the video ? she literally explained everything about the question she was asked or do u find ridding on the hating bandwagon fun
Well she mostly answered the questions safely and didnt actually fully answer the tougher questions
@@calebtitler1847 pretty understandable tbh. Anyone in a position like that has to be very careful with what they say and how they phrase it or they risk losing their career or potentially billions of dollars for their company, regardless of who they are. This is a very common occurrence and is present in the vast majority of statements by public figures and people in position of power. The difference is that people are looking for answers directly from her and are disappointed by the reality of her position as a result.
@@iota3243 If someone in her position literally cannot answer the questions presented then either 1. the questions were bad or 2. there was no point in interviewing in the first place. I think Anthony would have been better off being more specific with the questions. Don't ask questions in generality. Relate the issue to 1-5 specific people. That way she can at least say she can look into the issues and more direct answers can be given on those cases and potentially help the creator/s.
"Dodged every question" feels like a bit of a reach. She is the CEO so it's a given that she would be very cautious when answering certain questions but I think she did pretty good at responding to each question as best she could.
funny how the algorithm promotes this days after she steps down as CEO of UA-cam.
I wish she had elaborated a bit more on why exactly everything is so ‘complicated’, it would be interesting to learn how these big websites function
it would take HOURS to do and im sure she doesnt have the time for that. but perhaps, we can get into that (or what she can share legally and with her NDAs) in the follow up interview. Im excited by the fact that there _is_ a follow up and that she agreed to it. It really shows that she cares. theres only so much one person can do. Shes not 100% perfect, no one is, but shes trying. I cant imagine trying to appease creators, viewers, advertisers, investors, the youtube staff, etc. If human history has shown anything, no two groups can agree on everything. There are MANY groups involved that want different things. it really is complicated. and trying ot get the context for everything is a full time job on its own. like you heard that she tries to keep up with the drama and other stuff that is upsetting creators, but 500+ hours are uploaded every minute. she cant keep up with _everything_. She needs help and hopefully she can get it from her VPs and staff
the complication is that advertising companies, the government, viewers, parents, content creators, and more are all shoving them into a tiny little corner. The government doesn’t want them to target children, and pushes them away from said content (but it’s more complicated then that bc they also want the content to be child friendly, yet not for kids? idk, i only sorta understand the laws). Advertisers want brand friendly-which means more targeted for children, or at least censored- content. Then there are the creators who want to be able to make the content they wanna make (and get paid for it), without having to always avoid swearing or mentioning any hot button issues. Viewers want everything to remain as unchanged as possible, with no ads, no restrictions, no nothing. They have to give in to some points, they can’t make everyone happy. Often, the people they chose to sacrifice are the viewers and content creators: the advertisers control all the money, and the government could pass very restrictive laws on google as a whole, or even use trust busting to call it a monopoly and break it up.
@@morgand3675 I dont have much to add except to the last sentence you said. You are right, usualy the viewers and creators are the ones left out. But youtube and the advertisers know that there is no youtube without those two groups. In one way, those two groups are the most powerful
If everyone decided to stop using youtube (lets say vimeo goes mainstream lol), the company would crash. youtube makes no money, advertisers dont get their ads. So in a way its in everyone's best interest to keep those two groups in mind
@@morgand3675 The biggest point you said is that the advertisers control all the money. That's why viewers and creators have less priority. Unfortunately, the only solution to that is if most people start paying for Premium. That would actually put the 'You' back into UA-cam because it would kick advertisers out, UA-cam's bills would be paid by the viewers, and creators will all make double the money totally unrestricted by ad guidelines. Problem there is that viewers mostly don't see it worth signing up for Premium.
Note on the kid-friendly stuff, the law is we can't target kids specifically, but we can still be kid-friendly. For example, a video about laptop reviews is kid-friendly but not 'for kids' specifically. Advertiser-safe doesn't mean targeting kids, but it does mean kid-safe.
It's complex because it involves creators, audience and advertisers. When your company is so big there is a lot more red tape, there are a lot more voices there are a lot more bigger picture things. At the end of the day figure out what part you want to learn about and someone can break it down because every part of their business operations is layers and layers that need to be broken down. Also there are so many automated systems in place which are not perfect but I see creators getting all up in arms at 'UA-cam' but most of the flagging etc is all automated. And finally just the sheer volume and variety of content being uploaded makes the management of such data at a level that most individuals cannot comprehend.
You shouldve asked her which Drama Channels she watches and monitors
I heard if you’re first to reply on a verified persons comment, u get likes
what's up checkmark
I'm most curious about the Suzy Lu connection with youtube from the CEO
inb4 Keemstar
Oh, wouldn't you like to know XD
If she really does read these comments I really hope that youtubes future involves much more creativity boosting. It still feels like UA-cam boosts longer videos and constant uploading and that has made it so hard for creative channels like animation to thrive. Which is just so disappointing cause this could be such a wonderful platform for artists but they just can't survive.
"No matter what you do, no matter how much the platform is doing, they will always say you are not doing well"
So removing the dislike button, community captions, the "sort by oldest" option but not removing bots spamming po*n links is good?
Dear Ms Wojcicki: please consider requiring Family vloggers to sign some kinds of protections for their children. The exploitation of children on this platform is terrifying. UA-camr Smokey Glow made a lovely video about how you could protect children better on YT. Please watch and consider these ideas. Thank you.
boosting this comment about the same energy and i to be more like it is so funny that i and i agree that you will have a different story and you know what you are talking to east and i
Yes! Thank you for the video rec too, I have wanted to start a children's activities channel with my daughter as I work in childcare too, but I'm terrified about her safety. We already don't share her name/our surname/my husband's name on instagram, and we don't show her face, but it's still terrifying.

Boosting this comment because I agree.
Andrea Terbei also did a neat video on family vloggers. He focused more on the abuse and disregard of the child's wishes that often happens on those channels. All of his videos are so interesting.

Personally, I think the biggest missing feature, would be a small one day buffer when a channel get's a strike and breaks the rules, rather than removing it and issuing a strike out of the blue, we should have a day's buffer to remove the content ourselves and avoid a strike. There have been times where a video has been uploaded for over a year, is advertiser friendly, then one day, it get's taken down for "endangerment". This behaviour is extremely mentally straining and tiring.
this youtuber he's kinda small on here but he got his channel taken down when he was at a lowish 200k subs(around 300k now) and it took his fan base going crazy on twitter tagging them(YT) in everything to even be able to get in touch with anyone at youtube :/ there should be a way where people can get in touch with someone at youtube i know certain youtbers like markiplier have a manger over there but people who don't have 10m and up in subs
Yes, give the creator a chance to remove the video, before threatening the creator's entire livelihood and years of hard work. This is causing mental stress, anxiety and depression for creators.
Problem with that is once it is out there it is out there. Someone makes it once and then takes it down could do it again. So they make another and then take it down etc etc ad infinitum. They can then just keep putting up banned content as long as they take it down.
@@jmdio740 I see what you're saying, but I think they're referring to content in the past that was approved at the time, but as the guidelines change, some content them becomes unapproved by the guidelines.
Strikes should also go away once the content they came from has been removed. That whole system needs to be friendlier to creators.
When I see an ad on a video I don’t think “oh ____ is sponsoring and associated with Anthony Padilla” I literally just look for the skip button and forget about it lol
Any agreers?
Agreed
Agreed
Agreed
But that's not what advertisers think. No matter what, they don't want their branding near content they don't agree with.
Yeah and now she’s gone and we have this scary dude .. i want mommy back
Hey Anthony Padilla, please interview the CEO of UA-cam again but, with more interesting questions.
ask her why if a video gets manually reviewed and is deemed suitable for all advertisers. That that video can still be taken down for TOS violations.
Acheeto!
he already did the interview, you see
Ask her? LOL, ask the political machine that she's a puppet for. Section 230 needs to be repealed so they either let us be free or be accountable for what we post. You can't have your cake and eat it too.... Well, I guess we can't have our cake. Google ate it all.
OMG HEY ACHEETO I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

Anthony is a smart man. Get on the CEO's good side, then do whatever the hell he wants.
*Go read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.*

Anthony, I feel I finally have a word for how your channel comes across to me, and its potentially underlying mission: Empathy and understanding. Thank you for speaking with those who are misunderstood and ridiculed, attempting to get into their world. It's so easy to point the finger at the "evil corporation" and forget that there's actually people within.
If by people you mean ideologues who live in their own bubble above everyone else.
@@victorsarkisov4480 easy to say as someone who is not them
Thats not the counter you think it is. You just admitted they dont have him in their circle, thus his statement that they are in their own world is true
He is like interviewing the controller of his videos ON their job
Can't believe Anthony started these interviews unprofessionally and now he is interviewing The CEO of UA-cam. Crazy!
The sexualized content question wasn't answered correctly, or she didn't fully understand it. The issue isn't about losing monetization on sexualized videos(although that is A problem) its about small creators getting their channels deleted because it violates UA-cam's Terms of Service but when a large company post a sexualized video it doesn't get deleted or punished for violating the SAME Terms of Service.
She did answer it. Again. It’s all about money. Policy doesn’t matter. MV’s like WAP are popular. Extremely popular and therefore are money makers. Advertisers will throw money at youtube to have there ads on it. Policy only matters when a loss is being made. That is, when an advertiser pulls from youtube due to their ads playing on something they don’t wish for their brand to represent.
And the algorithm helps to sort out which videos are advertiser friendly.
It’s just money. It’s that simple.
Wanna know the truth? Follow the money.
This is for everything too, not just YT.
She said the term ADPOCALYSE
The answer: advertisers.
They are evil and only care about money. They want to stay on those extremely sexual music videos. If UA-cam decided to crack down on the music videos and drop the hammer, advertisers would throw a fit and might leave. That would be worse than having small channel getting their videos demonitized or something because advertisers leaving would be bad for EVERYONE.
So smaller content creators have to deal with the unfair preferential treatment the industry gets because the advertisers are the ones really in power
Yess, thank you, personally I want to know why UA-cam will show mobile app games that allude to undressing people are harems and all that sexual stuff and then ban a UA-camr for tanking about trans rights. Also, they put those adds on videos like wholesome tik tok compilations and history videos.It’s infuriating
It really wasn’t explained properly, she completely avoided the question. I know she was like it’s the money but I felt like it was a nice escape goat if you know wat I mean. Cause you type in porn and you get behind the scenes on training and stuff that’s not demonized. It’s the hypocrisy of if you put the word sex in the title or your say fuck your video is taken down but a video labeled how to have the best anal sex wasn’t taken down. Like if your gonna leave that up that leave the rest up and vise versa.
Whose here after hearing about Susan stepping down as youtubes ceo
Just wanted to thank all the commenters who mentioned that she doesn't answer a damn thing, so I don't waste my time watching this and wanting to strangle someone. Good on you for trying though, Anthony!
Alternate title: Anthony sits down with his boss. For probably the first time.
Oof that moment when she tries to explain how content wasn't being suppressed and immediately realised that she was admitting to suppressing content was painful to watch.
Ikr. I wish Anthony went a little harder on her and actually asked some hard questions... This interview felt very pointless.
Yeah I realized that too
I think she means that they don't want adult content come in the recommend in case kids stumble across it
@@donteattidepods UA-cam isn’t meant for kids
@@totallynotsatan976 But kids are on youtube and everyone knows it

I miss Susan
Anthony literally met the person who runs the platform that gave him his life as a star...pretty pog if I do day so myself
she could literally ban his account if he messed this up imagine the stress 😳
Yt is a mess rn. She is handling it so badly. Idk if any of you have noticed it but A LOT of replies on comments are disappearing. Its a bug that yt acknowledges but no one tries to fix it. You can try it by commenting on this thread then refreshing to see whether your comment sticks. If it doesnt go to yt twitter @teamyoutube and report it.

YESSSSSSSSS THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO
Omg hi Steve
Found u
Ayyyyyy
Lol, I love this man
Omg hi Steven 😄
This is such a great interview! It would be awesome if she would talk to us this freely on her institutional videos when she addresses the creator community. Of course, we know that some things can't be said clearly in an official manner (like the advertiser issues NOT reflecting UA-cam's own values, something that until this very moment was not clear to me, at least).
When we do something that's not good for the platform or for advertisers it would be better to have time codes and more specific information on what's wrong at each "soft infraction", so we can even rework it to comply.
i love that you did this. honestly as an up and coming creator on this platform this was pretty inspiring.
Imagine his first question is just “why”
this just reminds me of that one vine
she responds: _why not?_
😂 😂 😂
anthony is so great bc so many people really hate her but he’s so respectful and professional. i have so much respect for him
she is also basically his boss though
Gotta act nice around the boss.
@@thekingt6860 Well yes and no. She is the CEO but she’s only a small part of a team of people and he doesn’t answer directly to her. It is still in his best interest to be polite but I still think it’s great that he was regardless of my opinions on her
Why do people hate her so much
@@sjrhisnf Apparently she doesn't allow creators to be creative.
In regards to “why is this allowed for these videos/creators but not others” it’s pretty blatantly stated; “this is bigger than you, thus privileges are granted but not for you”
when the boss gets interviewed by her own employee:I
I just wish this was longer because she said "it's complicated" so many times. I get it, it's complicated, please explain why!
Because UA-cam has 1 trillion videos uploaded on it every minute. You can’t monitor every video uploaded so they create bots. Bots aren’t perfect and sometimes cause issues. It’s a complicated mess
It's a multi-million dollar corporation/company or whatever, I'm sure the investors and people who have interests in the company wouldn't appreciate the CEO blabbing about the inner workings of the company on the website itself let alone anywhere else.
Multi-Billion*
because youtube loves vague rules and views
....
....
..it's complicated.
I heard UA-cam was way more lucrative in the past. I don’t know how true that is. I wouldn’t know.
Very true, used to have drinking/smoking(marijuana) and lots of other content that it is good that it’s removed/regulated (animal abuse, things that promote self harm/eating disorders, etc). Edit: I should say excessive drinking on camera, not the carefully edited Truth or Drink type deals where maybe 3 shots get taken total the whole video.
I hear that too, but some creators make insane amount of money nowdays.
if you mean less or no demotization, then yeah.
I’ve heard they use to get paid more $ directly from Google but less on sponsorships and now it’s the opposite.
Nightmare files!! Oml i love ur channel
Loved this! Reminds me of our president.. just a poster boy, there to make us feel, we as the people have a voice. She shares all the power, yet takes all the blame! I truly believe she cares, and is trying to find a way to balance this for all, in any way she can. Thank you for sharing this❤️
That ending "Smosh the Movie, approved by Susan Wojcicki" just means Ian and Anthony are still tight
I feel like she gets a lot of shit for stuff that is being done underneath her. Like half of the problems we want fixed prolly aren't even hitting her desk half the time
Such a stupid excuse... She has the power to make major changes to the company but doesn't even educate herself on the main huge issues on this platform?
@@MellowJelly at the end of the day, it's a business. Susan will rightfully do what makes the most money. Welcome to business.

Right, but she also has people in charge for shit like that whom she trusts (rightfully or not) and if they aren't saying anything, she's within her rights and boundaries to think that that division is doing fine. Sure she has almost complete authority in the entire project but you have to remember that it's not always that simple. It should be and your feelings are completely valid but until it's become simple, all we can do is hope they listen.
It’s a whole team effort too she’s not in charge of everything, there’s also advertisers to please not just the content creators.

Tbh it's weird to me that Susan fully admits that they have double-standards for sexual content because of advertisers. This makes me think of how much of a difference the money from these advertisements do, and where exactly the line is drawn. I wish you'd have gone in more detail about it and not just leave it at 'it's complex'.
I think it is difficult for him to insist on it since he uploads on the plateform, he may have had some "bondaries" like « ok, you can ask this question but take my answer and don’t insist » (it’s only suppositions but I mean, it seems logical)
At least, she admits they have double-standards
They dont have much to do abt it unless you wanna risk the whole platforms income. They cant say im not putting your ad unless you also have the same stantard for this vid, bc advertisers dont care they have full power over the platform theyre the reason yt stays running theyre the income source and they can pull their ads anytime without hesitation, cuz they have other options theyre not dependent on yt, yt is dependent on them. Hosnstly yt is doing their best, remember theyve been through this w the adpocalypse before and they bounced back and managed to keep the creators and the viewers on the platform, and they understandably dont wanna risk it again. Remember that money is the primary reason this site exists, creators wouldnt stay if the income isnt enough its their job, and the money comes from advertisers, yt has to please the advertisers first and foremost to keep the site alive. They do a good job, this is not an easy thing to maintain.
@@theyfukenwmesubliminally Exactly. If anyone else is still a bit confused, I would highly recommend watching a few videos on economics. It'll be helpful to both understand these sorts of topics that companies face, and also to just better understand the way money works in the world.
I feel like it’s because there things she cannot disclose due to legal reasons, anything she says as CEO can have an effect on the whole company, there’s probably NDA’s included in these.
The point is that advertisers choose, and they don’t care what type of content a famous singer puts out, while they don’t want to risk it in small channels that they don’t know and don’t give a fuck about.
this is an eye opener for a lot of people you should interview her again in future episodes to brush up and come back to the subject of change
They definitely manually suggested this to everyone,
Where’s my UA-cam video recommendations.

edit: well.....
I think your forgetting he’s Anthony. He never cops out
Yeah
@@Tek not usually a fan of MatPat but he did ask some hard hitting questions and due to Susan only alloting a little time he had to accept some of her rather crappy answers but he made it clear that he didn't believe it. Regardless he asked a lot of questions and argued with some of the ones she gave. Sometimes it even got kinda heated to the point where you could tell Susan couldnt come up with much to refute.
I think the worst interview I saw was from one of the Try Guys..Eugene Lee Yang I believe. His questions were rather weak and I just got the vibes that he was kinda sucking up to Susan tbh.
@@Tek Not really, MatPat literally asked straight up why gaming was being separated and segregated from the rest of UA-cam content.
@@UA-camSupportSucks I love Anthony's content I really do but I think sometimes he tends to go easy on people. Like recently I felt very weird about his Dream interview because he was defending Dream as someone who isn't self centered when I don't think that's the issue with Dream. That and him saying that he's talked to him and he's chill when to be honest, just because we may know a creator doesn't mean we know how they conduct themselves online and how kinda rude they can be. I think thats becoming more than clear with every youtuber controversy that we can never truly know a person online.
Great presentation with very useful information. Really loved to see both of you. All the best.
This is huge ¡ thanks Anthony

Anthony is too popular so he would still be famous on other platforms if he got removed from UA-cam
@@ILikeBirds true but youtube pretty much has a monopoly in terms of internet videos. No other platform compares
I think the most insightful point for me is that UA-cam algorithm is like the economy. In business, economy changes with no clear rules and guidelines and organizations just need to constantly strategize, proactive and adapt. UA-cam channel is a business of its own and algorithm and culture changes are the economy. It is somewhat the job of content creator to maneuver through these challenges and play the rules of the UA-cam economy, like every company plays by the ever changing rules of the real world economy
I'll compliment the willingness of google responding to an interview and Anthony's very apparent unbiasedness
I would have liked to see more questions about deleting videos and channels without the creator even knowing why...
Especially for people who are making edgier content is really hard... you can get strikes for videos that are years old...
For videos that seem much less harmful than others and you have no idea why. I would even pay a premium price to have an employee on UA-cam telling if can or can´t do certain things.
Also a huge problem is that seemingly bots give out strikes.... or how does it happen that strike appeals are rejected in a few seconds after the appeal....
Partnering with UA-cam as a content creator is like dating an alcoholic sociopath who has a hobby in gaslighting you.
Hallo Simon, lustig dich unter diesem Video zu sehen
“Edgy content” and “community standards” are loose terms and don’t apply to al content creators equally. UA-cam guidelines are an intentional crock of BS.
yeah, it happened to me channel gone :(
@@1970joedub one need the work i take it and throw some unmedicated bipolar on top
anthony asked such great, intelligent, important questions as always. yet after watching this i still feel like none of those questions were answered (except for that one about advertisers and explicit content, that was genuinely good to hear)
When he was asked her abt the lude stuff on music vids
She said "They r well established, very popular videos"
I don't,need to say anything
Well obviously she can't or is unwilling to do so as that would set expectations to content creators that she's aware and will do something to fix it or she won't because she doesn't care because it makes her bank.
Advertisers white list those, so they have more leniency. It's about the money.
The questions were standard and with a few of them he even answered for her. I love Anthony but I'm not fanboy enough to ignore then fact he could've pushed harder.
@@Jizzlewobbwtfcus The questions were screened by her team beforehand
Good interview and choices of questions!

I think people are hungry for an extended Susan interview. Because there’s A LOT of questions people have. And it would be great to hear her talk more in depth about how UA-cam functions at a core level. And just hear answers to other questions that couldn’t be answered in this video.
Yes
Yes although she didn’t answer most of the questions posed to her anyway. She skirted around them a lot
It would be even better if it was a live stream
@@lilladybug137 Yes. With the way she dances verbally, she would fit right in with most politicians.
Anthony you would make a really good therapist!!The way you talk to people with such openness and understanding is cool to see.
I do like the looping animation but also - you’re pretty great too.
I really wish they didn’t completely demonetize true crime/horror videos. I lost so many of my favorite youtubers because of it. A lot of people find their enjoyment in watching these videos.
I am surprised those channels are getting demonitized. For it shows something a little bit creepy/eerie, or it shows a little bit of blood and whatnot? Man, the news already shows that many times, and movies and TV series do it in plenty and liters of blood. All without any warning of triggers for the following (insert whatever). There are a lot of warnings before the video actually starts, so why would those channels be targeted for demonitzation when people who are squeamish about blood and such can click off when the chance is still there? Sheesh. I seriously do not get the fact how UA-cam is still standing so high and mighty with all these false reasons to ruin someone's paycheck and motivation?
Honestly I was really hoping that Anthony would talk about the copyright system. One UA-camr Ryan Trayhan had two seconds of a Taylor Swift song in the background by accident and all of the money from that video was taken away because of those two seconds it’s ridiculous.
I was equally bummed. I'm sure we all heard "had to remove sound because of copyright strikes." plus the fact that a few can get your channel taken down is rather big
the main problem is still being the music industry, some of them are just a blakc hole of money lol. the blame cant really shifted completly to youtubes side since its mostly the music industry decision and their content id that is causing the problem but i do agree that youtube should be a better middleman to negotiate the problems()
No bc i love???
@@berryandryan ?
At that point thats not even UA-cam, its the greedy music industry (music producer here). Just to compare it, if i use a rythm similar(like very close) to, for exemple, ubrella by Rihanna, i could literally get sued. The music industry in general is just so greedy and take every chance to make a little more money. Its crazy
It's pretty incredible how far UA-cam has come. The main question I have at the moment is how does a content creator rise above "the noise" in order to find an audience?
This just goes to show that everyone is human. People treat youtube like it's not controlled by other people who have their own lives to attend to and it can be hard to keep up with everyone's needs and wishes. I wish more people would show some respect
"At the end of the day, I'm doing it to CONTROL ALL OF YOUR MINDS AND PUSH MY OWN AGENDAS... MUAH AHA HAHAHA"

I didn't love how she said Anthony "criticized" the monetization of sexual content. Just the way she said and brought it up. It just left a bad feeling in my gut.
I feel like all the criticism has gotten under her skin in a bad way. Like, I think it's hard for her to make it constructive anymore.
It was embarrassing really, for her to go after him like that and nitpicking on every word he had said. Felt like she had gotten really offended by that even if his coments are always very netrual and analytic. It was a very unprofessional reaction from her side.
“We value our creators ”
*proceeds to demonetize creators for saying an oopsie poopsie*
12:58 - well timed ad. Can't compete with that!
I found it really annoying that she really ignored the question about allowing sexual content in music video's but not in other videos. She said it was advertisers fault but that would only be a valid reason reason for demonitizing a video, people have had their videos straight up removed which clearly advertisers dont have that power. I would like a better explanation for your actions.
Yep, total cop-out, deflecting the blame. Can't say I'm surprised.

Really interesting and good video. Susan Wojcicki seems like a genuine person
11:41 - Advertisers, not just UA-cam, have too much power over content creators. Advertisers are the ones squashing small content creators while promoting content of large media outlets. Advertisers are big corporations with power over every person and institutions, including the government.
Reminds me of the scene from the 1976 movie Network, where Ned Beatty’s character tells Howard Beale that the world is a corporation.
