How long would that take to program, test, and implement? Or factor in the thumbs up to thumbs down ratio to determine the threshold for the amount of reports needed to get a video age restricted.

    The whole "UA-cam is a Big platform" argument has turned into an excuse the more time goes by.
    It's been over a decade and not only copyright is still a very easy to abuse system, but the algorithm has been the reason why ad-friendly and Made for Kids became a thing. You said it right, big issues need big solutions, and UA-cam took the easy fixes because they couldn't bother trying, and again, it's been 10 years. Time has been at their disposal.
    On the topic of "people finding loopholes", that's still risk worth taking if it means having communication with those who provide content to your platform.
    In any media related business, if you don't actually tell your employees what's right or wrong, then the quality of the business will always be inconsistent. So if that was an option, it's so much better to have transparency and deal with the loopholes as they present themselves, than to not have any transparency and have everyone scared of even trying to be creative

    As a lawyer, I would guess UA-cam's clarity in providing guidance is because if they began providing more specific guidelines and explanations would have them arguing all over the place based on prior precedent. Think of a specific explanation as UA-cam painting themselves into an ever smaller and smaller corner. Or take the US Constitution as another example. It's purposefully vague. UA-cam's vague language and lack of explanations leaves them a ton of latitude to do what they like.

    So, to my understanding, the issue is UA-cam puts to much faith in bots and algorithms to determine what gets age restricted and demonitized, rather than let a team of humans do a more accurate job of it and communicating with creators to resolve issues. Hope that gets resolved at somepoint.

    While it isn't racism as far as I'm concerned, considering what happened with you and Quantum, it's always favoritism. There are a few things that will keep you in their good boy list.
    1: Mainstream media like talkshow hosts, old media news sites like CNN and Fox, etc.
    2: Being their chosen good boys like Logan and Jake Paul in their old days. They were chosen to be the faces of UA-cam, and did mainly, as Logan called it, Hooligan stuff.
    3: Being big, but only if you tow a narrative. Political narrative or not. Towing the narrative being popular. Look at Twitters own narratives, and how Elon Musk went from beloved creator of electric cars for green energy, and then, he goes and says we need free speech on Twitter, and all the elites nd blue checkmarks are hating him like he's Hitler 2.0. And look at Markiplier. He got punished for trying to do the right thing. If that doesn't scream type 3 of good boys, then I don't know what is.
    And Cory falls within the 3rd one, but he doesn't tow the narrative. IIRC, he would start videos or end them with bible quotes. Google, who owns UA-cam, despises anything religious that isn't the current protected class. It's obvious. So he easily is getting targeted because he's clearly open about himself in ways they don't like. And google are elites. What do they hate? What they view as NPC grey matter getting big over time. They want to gate keep success. Cory has been around as early as 2009 if what I've heard is correct. He didn't pop out into youtube being the best of the best. He spent time making content, and got here eventually.
    UA-cam will try to stop that. Like how they, a while ago, tried to block views from coming into your video if you have what they call "a lack of creator history". If your video is gettign viral, they'll stiffle views. It was talked about. Look up "This video is popular, due to limited creator history". Google it. Their policies are always being designed to take a dump on smaller content creators, and people they don't like.
    Elites look at us not even as people of our own heritage if we're not rich or elite in any way. We're all NPC grey matter. Meaning that's the only genuine form of racism you can really bring up, other than them trying to prop up black creators. At the end of the day though, it can't be the kind of racism you think, because if you're not a minority, you're on your own. Look at how badly they messed up Mumkey Jones, and didn't stick to a fair system. His whole career was assassinated by them, and only the fans were able to keep him up. His own "employers" decided to cancel him by using slanderous claims about his videos and their intentions behind said videos. Corys case is far from unique. And it blends in with the dime a dozen cases.
    So it's not racism. It's classism to a T.

      You don't need to rule out possibilities to have a most obvious conclusion. In case you didn't know, evidence is a thing, and evidence says "not racism", just classic classism. Or are you going to tell Act Man that UA-cam is racist towards whites because they sided with a black man when said black man was guilty of actual phobia's? Just because you can't rule out the possibility? The evidence is obvious that UA-cam has classims issues, and they get to pick and choose who joins the rich boy club, or who has their blessings to be a total prick.
      So still not going to call it racism, or even entertain the idea that they just hate blacks. Sorry, not sorry, that I don't think someone being black and getting dumped on by corporate greed and elitism, is automatically racist. It is however classist. Or do you think classims isn't bad?
      Because it's the worst, and it's why the country of America is actually so divided, under the guise of racism, and every other ism, when the ones pulling the strings on all this division are elite wealthy freaks of every color and race, but only having one creed.

      You were doing great until you brought up classism for whatever reason. You yourself aknowledged that even if you are a big creator you are not safe from youtube's policies, but for some reason chose to ignore this when drawing a conclusion. It has nothing to do with class, it has everything to do with power. I dont know if you meant classism in a marxist way but i will still mention the following. UA-cam is a public corporation, it is the internet state within a state that controls and regulates the private creators. As you pointed out, if a private creator happens to be out of favor with the establishment, then their channel will be demonitised, age restricted, striked or deleted all together. This is not done because of "class discrimination", this is done in order to maintain power, the same motivation behind goverment regulations.

    I would've thought you'd get some rest after the whole Quantum TV situation but nope. The UA-cam drama never ends. At the same time, I hope you never give up on delivering great content #JusticefortheActMan

      It doesn’t help Quantum just tried attacking Act Man again.

    Thank You Act Man. You are helping me with being a real man. That big wild guy. Like a grizzly bear. Thank You.

    I always click on your videos as fast as I can because I'm afraid they'll be taken down just like your magnum opus. I wish I could re-watch it. The editing was SUPERB.
