No profanity. ....... Well done UA-cam. ..... There goes most of your UA-camrs. .... Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, and especially Pewdiepie just lost half of their money from what this looks like. Good job.
But Pewdiepie probably won't be affected cos he brings in so much money for Google. It's mind blowing only small UA-camrs are unaffected while big one gets scotfree.
Why is everyone complaining about this?? We can all just do easter egg openings on UA-cam and make it one big happy place! :) *-Who am I kidding UA-cam is going to die if they go on with this-*
I feel like this is turning into what's happened to most of the old, really good youtubers. They were getting complaints from parents of children that were watching videos that had swearing in them. Is it me, or is this complete shit? When I was growing up, my parents were responsible for me and my actions. Now, it seems like parents aren't paying attention to what their kids watch and as soon as they hear "shit" or "fuck," they get all mad at the person in the video (or, in this case, youtube, itself) and don't take responsibility for their children and tell them what's appropriate and what's not; instead, they want someone else to change what goes on, instead of being responsible. These people shouldn't have to lose money because they don't post children's videos. If the advertisers don't like (a) certain video(s) or a channel's type of content, then they should be able to remove their advertisements from the video(s)/channel(s). If the advertisers are fine with it, then don't touch the videos.
I agree, I don't know if you watch skydoesminecraft but he released a video a few weeks ago asking if he should swear or not. Somewhere in that video he says that he approves of swearing as long as it is not used against anyone. I personally agree 100% with that due to the fact that swearing is more often then not, completely unacceptable. In my opinion, that is complete BS because everyone has the freedom of speech and to speak their mind. That is just my opinion, idc if you disagree but someone had to acknowledge it
Kids are smarter than UA-cam and can get past that easily. Kids lie. That's all that needed to get a UA-cam account. These are still bullshit rules though.
First they came for the hate-speech, and I did not speak out, because I don't speak hate. Then they came for the sexual content, and I did not speak out, because my content isn't sexual. Then they came for the conservatives, and I did not speak out, because I'm not a conservative. Then they came for me, and there was nobody left to defend me.
You dork, there is a huge difference between censorship and not paying you. Anyways, as always, advertising policies are based on what content advertisers are willing to have their ads displayed on. Google doesn't care what you say, man, they just want their money, and they don't want advertisers afraid of their platform. I think this is silly. I don't think having an ad run on someone's political rant is hurting your brand. But it's the marketing industry that needs to be convinced. Google is doing what it takes not to lose advertisers. If we convince the marketing industry, then google will be happy to take their money on more videos. It's a culture war between old-school marketer common wisdom and new media presentation styles, and google is not the enemy for once. And newsflash: of course someone's bigoted rant hurts the brand of any advertiser associated with it, so yeah, good luck monetizing hate speech. But does anyone honestly believe that google has some secret agenda that's gonna keep them from taking money from advertisers, which is their entire business model?
Honestly somebody should come along with a new and improved website that is Everything UA-cam is, only better and not so corporate, it is all about the businesses now and not the content creators, someone could easily just iron out all of UA-cam's flaws, of which there are MANY(stacking up) and I wouldn't mind switching. I'm not even joking but do the people at UA-cam purposely try to get people who support their site punished or banned, like WTF is wrong with their brains. "Oh lets add a bot so we do less work and honest and true creators get fucked over, in the meantime we sit back, do shit all about it, and earn money HAHAHAHAHA" as they all make an evil laugh "oh and lets a bunch of copyright stuff, bots too, and now add inappropriate flags on videos years old because we want our dedicated users to suffer the most." I can legit see this conversation at a meeting or something.
+Chaotic Beluga Whale problem is to do this you need lots of money I guess you could start small and spend all profits on bigger servers but that would take years And you need contacts so you can get advertising on vids
UA-cam is just too big to take down now, even with all this backing, it is still owned by one of he biggest companies in the world. we can't have a new UA-cam, only get a new team behind it
That's how youtube started, but then Google bought it from the original creators and now here we are. This is just the way things work. Whoever makes this "new youtube" you're talking about will probably get approached by, say, Microsoft or something offering them a billion dollars, and the exact same things will happen. Big corporations will ALWAYS snatch up avenues of media; it's an inevitability that's unpleasant, but naive not to accept, much like death. =\
+TheGameLordKid Nope. They don't make the rules, advertisers do. If they don't keep enforcing those rules (the algorithm will probably be improved) advertisers go away and bye bye youtube.
Austen Lindley Then why is UA-cam doing this? To lose money? Of course they care, do you think an airline would want their ad played before a news report of terrorism and plane crashes? Do you think a kid's toys company would like their ad played before a GradeAUnderA video? They don't! Companies are afraid that their ad is associated with video content (which does happen). What I expect to see in the future is a system where companies can choose what kinds of videos their ad gets played in.
so if a video has a sex joke it cant have an ad yet ads of Sausage Party are on youtube and the WHOLE MOVIE is a sex joke... So can't have things in videos that the ads themselves have.... yeah that's some great logic
NO mentioning all of the recent the RIhana videos and Nikki Minaja and other artistests WHO GET BILLIONS of views on single video, LIKE wtf that is half of the fuckin profit gone XD
There's a UA-cam Kid for a reason. If people don't want to hear cursing then go to UA-cam Kids! But don't waste your god damn time reporting videos for cursing. Cursing isn't a bad thing. It's expressing speech. And these people have a freedom of speech and UA-cam is taking the right away
+Wajih Mooshroom youtube earns a lot of money from ads on yotubers videos. Less than half of the ad revenue goes to the actual uploader. Now theyve just made it so they can get all of the ad revenue on some videos. Conclusion is they just want more money and dont care about their users.
+Aaron Timony I personally like Grade and still watch his content. You don't have to watch him if you don't like him. I respect your opinion though. :)
Probably will take a month or so since his growth has been slowing down somewhat lately, but still, he's growing and will definitely reach it this year.
I feel like UA-cam should make another app for kids. That's for kids obviously, but that way, regular youtubers can still swear and stuff. And anything considered not kid friendly, stays here, and kid friendly things go to the new UA-cam but could also stay here if the youtuber so chooses. Just an idea
People - this is a good thing. Calm down, give YT time, to filter out the liars, such as those who make fake conspiracy videos (which DO affect people) such as the Mandela effect and Flat Earth. By all means, those folks can upload what they want & not all of them monetise. Slander does not warrant ad revenue.
this has already been done youtube has gone to shit the only youtuber i know for sure is safe is CoryxKenshin besides his yanderai(doubt that is correct spelling) series is unsafe
Yeah, I don't know what the fuck he is going to do...not that I think he relied on youtube money. He's 21 and his channel has only blown up recently. If I was a brand I would jump on it and get him to do ads in the videos but Leafy style. "Don't fucking buy this shit just because they gave me money" for example.
that one guy Well, it's UA-cam, after all. Sadly expected at this point, at least to me anyway. Frankly, after enough time and experience with the site, I'm surprised that the site even FUNCTIONS. Every single time I see it, I'm still surprised. It's basically one giant glitch at this point. That they can even make a functioning bot of any sort utterly baffles me. Ugh. I feel sorry for everyone having to deal with this crap happening to their channels. I'd bet it's a pretty stressful thing right now.
Misery well it isnt the bullshit that happened to some ppl about a year ago where advertizer companies would copyright video's and steal the monetization....because it had AN add before it......
This isn't about UA-cam wanting to be kid friendly, it's about advertisers not wanting their ads on potentially controversial videos. UA-cam isn't blocking any of these videos, just preventing ads from being placed on them.
Companies might not want there ads played on vulgar videos so people don't associate the attitude of the video with the ad. Thats all I can think of but I still think it is really stupid.
May I just point out YT Terms of Service Article 12 Ability to Accept Terms of Service You affirm that you are either more than 18 years of age, or an emancipated minor, or possess legal parental or guardian consent, and are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations, and warranties set forth in these Terms of Service, and to abide by and comply with these Terms of Service. In any case, you affirm that you are over the age of 13, as the Service is not intended for children under 13. If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use the Service. There are lots of other great web sites for you. Talk to your parents about what sites are appropriate for you. Why is this a thing if they're age-friendly-ing the site?
William Feng Obviously you've never dealt with the Term-Clause. Term Clause is a saving grace that states: If the Terms say it shouldn't happen, and it still happens, the person responsible is at fault. Since YT states plainly that you should be 18 or have permission, and actually plainly tells parents that there are sites for kids, they can't help it if a 14 year old sneaks on and watches 18+ videos, the terms of service state that by doing so he consented to being able, therefore lying on a legal document. YT can't even be touched for that reason, regardless of what happened.
They're probably using algorithms similar to what they use to identify content that violates copyright rules. It would be easy for them to pick up things like words and phrases that would make it ineligible for monetization. The whole thing is kinda upsetting because they're almost saying that there isn't any demand for videos with this sort of content... that it's not worth advertiser's money... which simply isn't right - there's obviously a huge market for that!
Sam Watson Well then, you could just learn swear words in a different language, as long as it satisfies your rage and sounds funny.. Boom!! problem solved! xD
So what about music videos with swear words in? What about movie ads with swear words in? Are they just not allowed to make money off of them? Seriously, UA-cam has messed up so bad. I came to UA-cam because I thought it was a place where people could express themselves, but now UA-cam is just a place where kids can watch things to be entertained. Don't worry about over 13's, this place is apparently for kids now. What I don't get is there is an app called and I quote "UA-cam Kids" which has specifically kid-friendly entertainment, so that kids can go there instead of risking watching videos that contain bad language. What I'm more scared for though is the smaller UA-camrs who's job is UA-cam. If only one of their videos get demonetized they could lose a lot of money and not be able to pay for things like their house or food.
Yeah, time to watch some ads for horror movies on this kids show rather than on a creepypasta video where people might actually be interested! This isn't just bad for youtubers. It's bad for advertisers.
It should really be up to the advertisers as to which videos to place their ads, rather than youtube (and it's content bot). As you stated, a Creepypasta video should be able to monetize with ads for horror movies/metal albums,etc., for example.
You mean because an advertiser of movies can choose not to advertise on cartoon channels but some of their movies might be cartoons? Like all or nothing or what do you mean?
If advertisers can choose which videos their ads will be on, then why are so many horror movie ads on ASMR videos? (For those who don't know, ASMR videos are meant to help people to relax and fall asleep.)
You know the audience. There are trolls who just wants to see or make the youtuber rage and there are haters who might stupidly flag their hated youtuber's youtube videos and there are those FCKs (Feeling Cool Kids) who think flagging down is so cool he/she will will be popular and there are 12 year olds who don't know what 18+ mean
When the part of the audience that wants this is A) kids who are too young to even use the site legally, or B) stupid parents who assume everything on the internet should be censored for the sake of little Timmy, yet don't bother monitoring what they're looking at themselves, then no. They should certainly not be allowed to decide.
True with people saying they like the new rules and some saying they hate it well I personally like the new rules that's my opinion you can hate if you want the new rules sort of help people understand why this world is so broken these days and why there now here
+Th3SoloExplor3r /ExtremeXSolo Alot of UA-camrs wont be able to make money of YT, This may sound arrogant...But they do YT for a living...Without cursing etc. (All the banned things) The videos might get less entertaining, and if they do swear they cant make money, If you like the rules... Well, you do you I personally hate them and am worried about my favourite UA-camrs And sorry for my English, It isnt perfect
I'd have nothing in my life... this is my source of entertainment, and I'm 16. This is my source to see if there's a new game I want to play for myself. This is the source for most of my urban knowledge. (I was raised a bubble kid with no social life). If this is gone then most of what I do or hear everyday is gone with it...
How about this. You and everyone else get banned from YT because you have no rights here at all. You are not forced to use YT, nor do you pay for it. It is a totally free service offered to you and if you dont like it please leave.
+Wajih Mooshroom So... You're supporting this? I'm aware this is a free service, thank you captain obvious, but this can seriously hurt many UA-camrs. They make their living off of here, and if video guidelines are so strict that videos can't be monetized anymore, their income is chopped in half. So, if you support this, as you said, "You can leave"
ExtremeTuffRider I dont really care about what YT does, its their site, get out if you dont like it. Ill do the same if I dont like it. If you knew YT was free, try using your head and realizing, YOU CAN LEAVE. Anyone can leave. YTers who make money arnt charged a dime. If they made their own sites to show videos, they would have the pay money. YT doesnt charge a dime.
maybe now they will find a job or create original content instead of posting video of content created by others and calling it their own? Yes I support this!
So for anyone actually curious what this is about, it's mainly more firm control on videos that may be considered disinterested by the advertiser for their products that would otherwise be innappropriately unrelated and be wasteful of their business, which otherwise in terms of ads was much less organized before. It's like black listing, but advertisers can opt in their ads to your videos. Currently it's speculated that the bot going through videos is as broken as any first bot Google sends out their door. It's basically out of Google's business with advertisers so stuff like "mayo advertisement on a video about suicide" doesn't happen where it's not to the advertiser's interest. What confuses me is that I thought we had the ability to choose what kinds of ads are in association to videos in monetization.
Yeah, that is because Jordan doesn't upload "Inappropriate" content, so ofc he doesn't really care or affects him, for most youtubers it is a problem tho...
Except...not really. You know the minecraft community is a nice niche for family friendly content already. Not THAT hard to remove the lil swears that could slip up.
This could be seriously bad for youtubers like: Jacksepticeye, Pewdiepie, Markiplier, Leafy, so on and so forth. I say this because if youtube is going to crackdown in these videos that could be flagged, then there could be people that dont like their content and just decide to flag it. UA-cam needs to think carefully on this because this is going to mess with lifes. If there is a large group of people that just flag videos to get them demonitized that could have a big impact in the long run. If most youtubers dont do this by now, if you do have a profit coming in from your videos make a separate savings account to store money to get interest on. I know this might be common sense but if this is truly what is happening and if i understand it correctly then there might be a chance these new rules will be abused by those who dont care or feel like only certain youtubers should exist. Now I did watch the entire video before posting this and I do think that youtubers should take caution because youtube is known for doing things that affect a lot of people: Taking down certain videos because of other foreign companies, sudden copy right notices, youtube red where you have to pay for ad free content now. Theres so many new things that you never know when the next big thing could shoot down this sight. I may be wrong in this instance and could just be speaking without great knowledge but this is what i think on the matter of this. Let me know if my opinion on the matter is off, because i do not want to be misinformed and saying all this looking like a fool.
It's likely that because of how much popular UA-camrs make, they will not be affected by this. i.e. Pewdiepie makes so much money that UA-cam will likely not take down his videos because of how much money they get from his channel.
how is it a serious concern? they make a lot of money and can live a long life and may even establish a new business, that is if they think playing games isn't "hard work"
+Cedric Maybe playing the game is the "easy" part, but it takes UA-camrs hours to edit their videos, which is why many larger youtubers hire editors and at least three of them (Yogscast, Sky, and Matthias) have turned their channels into companies with designated editors that aren't normally seen in their videos, other than a few words or other thing put in humorously.
+Alexandra Olson Going along with that, Matthias refers to his hired assistants as interns, which also means they're getting paid and job experience for future jobs. I have a lot of respect for the larger youtubers that do things like that, as they're helping to create jobs; especially in this economy. I'd hire someone that has that sort of cred on their resume
I'd think what it runs the risk of hurting more is the tourney/fighting game scene, no need for editors there. But since it's 100% game content and loadsa trashtalking, well, y'know... RTS/wargames a second-runner-up.
I actually am really proud of you jordan it was quite obvious that your channel views were dropping to 100k-180k but you got up started working harder,doing collabs starting series's and your views are now up to 200-400k not quite your prime but i believe youll get back there -keep it up, much love from mohamad in lebanon
The rules are ambiguous. If there is a game in a UA-cam video, there rules should end there, and the rules of no sexual related content and violence DO NOT APPLY. I am not saying that there can be naked people or sex. Logically, the video needs to be perceived as someone playing a video game and nothing more. The vulgar language rule is bull shit as well. UA-cam is becoming more like T.V. and certain ratings/ad deals are going to reflect the same way in that certain UA-camrs will need to bleep out words, etc. Soon, they will not be allowed to play video games, or at least certain ones, anymore.
also parents need to do a good job and raise their kids to not watch inappropriate content. I never watched inappropriate TV shows until I was old enough to do so and I made that decision by myself
You are even meant to be 12/13 before you watch UA-cam. Why in hell is UA-cam "catering" to an audience that wasn't meant to even be watching UA-cam? Bs at its finest.
Exactly. If you're in high school, you are old enough to be able to watch videos about controversial world topics and things of that nature. Games are rated M for a reason and you have 10 year old kids playing that freely. Sure i played COD when I was 10 but I never cursed and raged online. UA-cam is run by the older generation and they have the same mindset of T.V. stations. The difference is that the content creators and viewers are responsible for 95% of youtube's success and most of the people who work at UA-cam are irrelevant and replaceable yet they hold all the power.
UA-cam is also doing this so they can avoid videos being flagged if it is controversial or inappropriate in order to get the most money they can from videos. If videos are not controversial or inappropriate, then people won't flag it or complain about it in order to get taken gown, then the video stays up and UA-cam MAKES MORE MONEY. UA-cam is an American company. Not only do Americans have the right to free speech, everyone in the world deserves it. I don't see Ad companies ever complaining about controversial videos because those usually have a lot of views
Google should NOT be able to directly manage monetization: here's a possible solution. Each individual advertiser should be the ones choosing which videos to monetize, not a one size fits all. Google likes to manage monetization, and having a centralized system is good, but Google is unaware of just how rapid our society is changing. Vulgar language for example is on the internet considered "normal" based on the audience. Certainly, harassment of an individual via YT is wrong, and I think prevention of that is the goal. But if the goal is to prevent children from seeing "adult" videos, that's why there is something called parents/guardians who are responsible for that end of the stick. Monetization is not about preventing the wrong audience from seeing content above their age limit. The point is, it isn't up to Google on what ads get placed where. It is the advertiser, the creator, and the audience. Or just ask for sponsorship OUTSIDE of Google.
your video about this was actually informative and less of a rant than any others i've seen. i personally wasn't able to get through any other videos about the subject but yours actually discussed it with a calm collected point of view
I feel as if this is UA-cam's way of saying,"Oh damn we are almost out of money since we are paying too many multi million sub youtubers but we never saw it coming this far" and youtube is hesitantly trying to save themselves some money...
They couldn't 'lose' money from paying youtubers. UA-camrs get money from ads. Advertisers pay UA-cam to put ads up, then a percentage of money from the ads goes to the UA-camrs, the rest goes to Google.
YT was sold to google years ago for 1.65 billion dollars. Its value has now increased GREATLY. If it was sold now, it would probably be at least 4 billion dollars
First of all UA-cam would have to be up for sale. Secondly like "Mr. Correct and Prove Everybody Wrong in the Comment Section" said, it would be too expensive.
+TheIronGeneral5011 I love UA-cam fuck it can go fuck itself. we need to start a petition to change its policy protect our UA-camrs. jack, pewds, mark and so many good UA-camrs that we love could be hurt from this
A lot of youtuber who are affected by these changes really need to be put in place. But even more don't deserve it at all. I completely disagree with the ban on "sensitive subjects", but it would make sense if they banned "mocking sensitive subjects". If someone makes a video about a tornado or something, it shouldn't be demonetised, but if they say: "Screw all the people who died in the Orlando shooting" they should be demonetised.
Or you could just get over yourself and realize people have different opinions than you do. Don't like, don't watch. It's not your business to decide who gets to make a living based on the opinions they state on a website where people are allowed to have their own opinions (or, at least, where they used to be).
Carmenyoohoo thats what i mean, youtube shouldnt ban/demontize anything UNLESS a video is openly supporting murder (or crimes just as bad) like the people prasing orlando shooter on youtube
If you aren't allowed to advocate mass murder, you're still having your freedom of speech revoked. There's no reason to demonetize such videos other than removing the freedom of speech of that person, by making them say what you want them to say for money.
it's really fraking stupid that they don't want you to swear that's a violation of freedom of speech I think the "partial nudity" thing is dumb. they block all true nudity (for the most part) and so all that slips through bikinis and stuff. That's censorship.
There are A LOT of UA-camrs that I can think of that will have issues with these new guidelines. I feel like this might have started because of complaining parents, that's usually the case for everything nowadays XD
that is actually true i heard that all this started with a petition by some parents which was concerned over what their kid was watching on youtube but they had aperently not heard of youtube kids
The thing is maybe the parent should actually take charge and maybe punish the child for watching that kind of stuff, and kids should learn of this thing called outside and stay away from things that are scary to them
I'm really glad this was shared. I haven't heard anyone talk about it this way before and i feel it really gives some clarity. Still, it shows how vague the conditions are and how they can be interpreted in total extremes.
This site used to be something to get away from tv with different entertainment and cussing and doing other stuff like fucking skits or even book reviews and shit that you can't find in tv, now it is turning to tv where they can't say anything in shows
UA-cam has always been like this, that EXACT same table has been in their terms of service since day 1. They're just trying to inform the youtubers who all of a sudden say "why did my video get deleted???". Everyone just needs to calm the hell down, UA-cam wouldn't kill itself.
Ok UA-cam, Stop. These you tubers devote their lives, LIVES to promoting your website. Why would you want to make them quit promoting UA-cam. What would UA-cam be without UA-camrs? Nothing. UA-cam is being stupid and I'm not afraid to tell that! STOP UA-cam. Please, let's start to realize ppl and UA-cam, this is their job. Have a great day all who are not with these decisions, EMMA DAVIS
As I was watching this I started thinking of yours and other UA-camrs old videos and started crying and also thinking what happened from 2007-2013 (When UA-cam was good to me)
I'm just saying, this seams like a terrible idea for UA-cam. Even if they are trying to make it kid friendly, do they have any clue how much they'll lose from this? Good luck, Sparklez.
If UA-cam doesn't do this, advertisers will just go away. Advertisers go away = UA-cam is over. Alphabet has been rather benevolent all this time since UA-cam hasn't been profitable from the beginning. Right now the algorithm is a bit ruff around the edges, but it will get tuned in time and soon things will be normal.
I think they should see they messed up, then they should find a better solution to this "advertiser friendly content". If they had some kind of rating system like G, PG, PG-13, R and then advertisers can choose what rated video they want there ad to put on.
We are working on a youtube alternative. We will have the kickstarter up and going soon. We will keep everyone posted on how things will go soon. We will post a link for it soon on reddit.
This is a story of how UA-cam gets fucked over. UA-cam: Hey guys, we just released the new community guidelines! Well, enforced it more. So you guys better stop cursing! 1 hour later. UA-cam: It seems like the you tubers hate it. Well it doesn't matter, they either take it or leave it. Big famous UA-camr: I quit. UA-cam is shit now. Gonna stream from now on, on twitch. Other famous you tubers: Gonna go stream on twitch now too. Twitch HQ: Okay, we are now making twitch like UA-cam. More money for us. Hehe! 3 seconds later. UA-cam HQ: How did we end up in a road side ditch getting gunned down like the degenerates we are?
its their website they can do what they want, if the only wanted christian videos speaking the word of the bible and only that they can do that. although that would be a very prejudice format they can do that, bc they arent actually inhibiting what you say or how you express yourself in every aspect of your life, its just for when youre on their site. bc if that were the case we would be able to post sexual nudity on here, which we cant bc its ultimately up to youtube. you cant come into my house and say things bc you have a freedom of speech, its my house my rules, now you can be outside my house and say what ever you want bc you are allowed to be there and you have that right.
I mean I could be in your house and say what I want, you'd just throw me out. Which is what you're saying about this topic. I get what you mean. Follow the guidelines and all is good.
This is literally censorship to screw youtubers over "saying these list of words makes all your videos unmonotized and you cant do anything about it even though we have some videos with the words on there, but thats irreverent" fucking hypocrite youtube
Do u really think UA-cam actually wants to do this? Someone like the federal's r making them do this. Since they r this they r going to make less money themselves. So it doesn't make any sense
+Parker Shelton-Lamb Nah, they are going to make MORE money from this, because they are probably going to take more money from those channels that have profanity, and they already take 70-75% of ad revenue on UA-cam.
Seriously, can't they just add a feature where the channel can specify the age range for appropriate viewing? Wouldn't that help advertisers decided which are appropriate for their intended age group?
+Proraptor Gaming doubt it, he does two videos a day wether it's a combination of a vlog style video or a gaming video!! Soooo probably no other video today
UA-cam is rated 17+ so it shouldn't matter if you are inappropriate unless it is explicit material who cares you should be aware on what you are watching and your age. So who cares!
+Wajih Mooshroom 13+ to make an account but on all other things suck as mobile and console it is 17+ to download it. (I'm talking in a general standpoint)
+ChintzySpade130 Gaming not after 2012-13 ish. you probably weren't around when Bob was "threatening" WWIII because Google bought UA-cam....that was a meme in the UA-cam comments...
illicitTree yt I mean, that's not true though, Liberal is just "Don't be ignorant, or close minded" which is literally what being conservative is, close minded and ignorant
UA-cam should just make a system where advertisers can have a sort of blacklist or something on certain video tags, URLs, channels, etc. because that would make it so much more simple. Just because one certain advertiser doesn't want to be advertised in conjunction with a specific topic doesn't mean another totally different advertiser has a problem with it.
its all the god damn parents who get on here and are like, "BILLY!!! YOUR 12 WHY U WATCHING SOMEONE CURSE!!!" kid responds, "because its funny." then instead of a "REAL" parent saying your too young the terrible parents yell at youtube for allowing it. if you dont like ur kid watching youtube then dont let them........
I love how you always kind of try to explan all the sides of the issue when something like this happens, it makes it a lot easier to understand what's goign on. Since stuff has the tendency to get blown out of proportion and panic and mob hysteria spread like wildfire on youtube, I always come to your channel when youtube has a change like this because I know it'll be explained in a fairly non-biased, comprehensible way. I just wanted to say thanks for keeping me and a lot of other people informed!
UA-cam is going to get in some shit. Some small company is going to create something AMAZING for big youtubers and they will move there. So i have no idea why they are changing the policy in this way.
Doubt it, running a service like UA-cam is very expensive, it's so expensive that even though UA-cam earns $3-4 Billion annually, it's still not profitable.
I just realize that UA-cam is starting to be like TV, UA-cam was suppose to be a place where you upload dumb and stupid things. You were free to say what ever you eant to say... #MAKEUA-camGREATAGAIN
Jordan is easily one of the most professional UA-camrs out there.

No profanity. ....... Well done UA-cam. ..... There goes most of your UA-camrs. .... Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, and especially Pewdiepie just lost half of their money from what this looks like. Good job.
they can put in highly paid ads because of this now
But Pewdiepie probably won't be affected cos he brings in so much money for Google. It's mind blowing only small UA-camrs are unaffected while big one gets scotfree.
+Alex Jones *affected
+LimenKoo sure, but who will watch them?
basically every big UA-camr on UA-cam smh
Pewdiepie should buy youtube with the money he got from youtube....

Lol
I feel like this is turning into what's happened to most of the old, really good youtubers. They were getting complaints from parents of children that were watching videos that had swearing in them. Is it me, or is this complete shit? When I was growing up, my parents were responsible for me and my actions. Now, it seems like parents aren't paying attention to what their kids watch and as soon as they hear "shit" or "fuck," they get all mad at the person in the video (or, in this case, youtube, itself) and don't take responsibility for their children and tell them what's appropriate and what's not; instead, they want someone else to change what goes on, instead of being responsible. These people shouldn't have to lose money because they don't post children's videos. If the advertisers don't like (a) certain video(s) or a channel's type of content, then they should be able to remove their advertisements from the video(s)/channel(s). If the advertisers are fine with it, then don't touch the videos.
I agree, I don't know if you watch skydoesminecraft but he released a video a few weeks ago asking if he should swear or not. Somewhere in that video he says that he approves of swearing as long as it is not used against anyone. I personally agree 100% with that due to the fact that swearing is more often then not, completely unacceptable. In my opinion, that is complete BS because everyone has the freedom of speech and to speak their mind. That is just my opinion, idc if you disagree but someone had to acknowledge it
Hey Jake I agree. Totally!
I agree.
Good point.
it's all about money
If you can't make an account if you're under 13... Why dafuq does UA-cam care about cursing?...
Kids are smarter than UA-cam and can get past that easily. Kids lie. That's all that needed to get a UA-cam account. These are still bullshit rules though.
So UA-cam isn't going to enforce their thirteen age rule, but instead give new rules? That's pretty bullshit.
How in the world would UA-cam enforce the 13 age limit rule? Hack facecams?
+Mourice Latimer enforcement doesn't matter, that rule exists so that youtube isn't sued
man that would suck to get your face cam hacked, someone watching everything you do while you're on the computer or even phone/tablet
First they came for the hate-speech,
and I did not speak out,
because I don't speak hate.
Then they came for the sexual content,
and I did not speak out,
because my content isn't sexual.
Then they came for the conservatives,
and I did not speak out,
because I'm not a conservative.
Then they came for me,
and there was nobody left to defend me.
nice twist on an old poem made during WWII
Yes, by Pastor Martin Niemöller.
Hate speech doesn't exist. Its selective censoring hiding behind a word.
You dork, there is a huge difference between censorship and not paying you. Anyways, as always, advertising policies are based on what content advertisers are willing to have their ads displayed on. Google doesn't care what you say, man, they just want their money, and they don't want advertisers afraid of their platform. I think this is silly. I don't think having an ad run on someone's political rant is hurting your brand. But it's the marketing industry that needs to be convinced. Google is doing what it takes not to lose advertisers. If we convince the marketing industry, then google will be happy to take their money on more videos. It's a culture war between old-school marketer common wisdom and new media presentation styles, and google is not the enemy for once.
And newsflash: of course someone's bigoted rant hurts the brand of any advertiser associated with it, so yeah, good luck monetizing hate speech. But does anyone honestly believe that google has some secret agenda that's gonna keep them from taking money from advertisers, which is their entire business model?
Everyones stupid now.
So every UA-cam channel that isn't a minecraft channel that caters to 8 yr olds is doomed? rip. .-.

+Quinn Reynolds I'm a kid I looked at screen shots it's just little kid shows Teletubbies etc.
youtube isnt doing shit to anyones channels
Honestly somebody should come along with a new and improved website that is Everything UA-cam is, only better and not so corporate, it is all about the businesses now and not the content creators, someone could easily just iron out all of UA-cam's flaws, of which there are MANY(stacking up) and I wouldn't mind switching. I'm not even joking but do the people at UA-cam purposely try to get people who support their site punished or banned, like WTF is wrong with their brains. "Oh lets add a bot so we do less work and honest and true creators get fucked over, in the meantime we sit back, do shit all about it, and earn money HAHAHAHAHA" as they all make an evil laugh "oh and lets a bunch of copyright stuff, bots too, and now add inappropriate flags on videos years old because we want our dedicated users to suffer the most." I can legit see this conversation at a meeting or something.
Well, you tried
But as soon as that new website gets big they will most likely go down the same road as UA-cam. It's almost inevitable as a company grows
+Chaotic Beluga Whale problem is to do this you need lots of money
I guess you could start small and spend all profits on bigger servers but that would take years
And you need contacts so you can get advertising on vids
UA-cam is just too big to take down now, even with all this backing, it is still owned by one of he biggest companies in the world. we can't have a new UA-cam, only get a new team behind it
That's how youtube started, but then Google bought it from the original creators and now here we are.
This is just the way things work. Whoever makes this "new youtube" you're talking about will probably get approached by, say, Microsoft or something offering them a billion dollars, and the exact same things will happen. Big corporations will ALWAYS snatch up avenues of media; it's an inevitability that's unpleasant, but naive not to accept, much like death. =\
UA-cam: " THE KIDS! Kids watch this website and we need to make it age appropriate." Me: " Um, Isn't there a UA-cam Kids App? UA-cam: "..."
+TheGameLordKid Won't UA-cam lose money?
+TheGameLordKid Nope. They don't make the rules, advertisers do. If they don't keep enforcing those rules (the algorithm will probably be improved) advertisers go away and bye bye youtube.
nope andre adv dont give a flying fuck about lang.. they have other shit they need to do
Austen Lindley Then why is UA-cam doing this? To lose money? Of course they care, do you think an airline would want their ad played before a news report of terrorism and plane crashes? Do you think a kid's toys company would like their ad played before a GradeAUnderA video? They don't! Companies are afraid that their ad is associated with video content (which does happen). What I expect to see in the future is a system where companies can choose what kinds of videos their ad gets played in.
André Breda then duck ads xD
so if a video has a sex joke it cant have an ad yet ads of Sausage Party are on youtube and the WHOLE MOVIE is a sex joke... So can't have things in videos that the ads themselves have.... yeah that's some great logic
a large number of ads don't even follow the TOS....
+MarikoftheShadows I know. so annoying

There's a UA-cam Kid for a reason. If people don't want to hear cursing then go to UA-cam Kids! But don't waste your god damn time reporting videos for cursing. Cursing isn't a bad thing. It's expressing speech. And these people have a freedom of speech and UA-cam is taking the right away
We need a UA-cam after dark.
+Mobageddon Redstoner It's called profanity. Only oversensitive people and children consider them as bad words.
YT lets to have videos up here for free (something YOU should be paying for) and instead THEY pay you.
+Wajih Mooshroom youtube earns a lot of money from ads on yotubers videos. Less than half of the ad revenue goes to the actual uploader. Now theyve just made it so they can get all of the ad revenue on some videos. Conclusion is they just want more money and dont care about their users.
TechnoLogical15 I think you mean the first amendment? The second amendment grants people the right to own guns (not criminals tho).
we need GradeAUnderA right now
He's a start but with how bad UA-cam is going downhill, we're going to need more than Grade to get this website back to what it is.
Grade is so boring xD how do people still watch him? He just goes with popular belief and says it in a british accent and bang 50 billion views
He is the best at coordinating a protest against youtube

I feel like UA-cam should make another app for kids. That's for kids obviously, but that way, regular youtubers can still swear and stuff. And anything considered not kid friendly, stays here, and kid friendly things go to the new UA-cam but could also stay here if the youtuber so chooses. Just an idea
The thing about that they may turn it around so people buy UA-cam 18+ so UA-cam is fuck 🔫
It does actually exist! It's actually called a rather uncreative "UA-cam Kids"

+Potato PlaZ no.

People - this is a good thing. Calm down, give YT time, to filter out the liars, such as those who make fake conspiracy videos (which DO affect people) such as the Mandela effect and Flat Earth.
By all means, those folks can upload what they want & not all of them monetise.
Slander does not warrant ad revenue.

They should also abide & not get ad revenue. As if they need it, tbh.
Hopefully UA-cam doesn't actually go through with this idea.

I think UA-cam just rolled out a new bot to police this
ikr
And then it probably glitched out and started coughing up piles of frogs or something.
HEHE..... Frogs
that one guy Well, it's UA-cam, after all. Sadly expected at this point, at least to me anyway. Frankly, after enough time and experience with the site, I'm surprised that the site even FUNCTIONS. Every single time I see it, I'm still surprised. It's basically one giant glitch at this point. That they can even make a functioning bot of any sort utterly baffles me.
Ugh. I feel sorry for everyone having to deal with this crap happening to their channels. I'd bet it's a pretty stressful thing right now.
Misery well it isnt the bullshit that happened to some ppl about a year ago where advertizer companies would copyright video's and steal the monetization....because it had AN add before it......
If this policy continues, all that will be left on UA-cam is kid friendly minecraft channels
And music channels
+ryuuotaku35 *censored music videos
+Arch Platypus Yes that.👍🏼
And pewdiepie too. damn. The most UA-camr ever.
What? Do you see how much Pewdiepie curses? Bro, he may not be one of the bigger ones, but his content will def get flagged.

just wait 10 years when the current vulgar language is no longer vulgar, and are replaced with new words.

THEN WHY DID THEY MAKE UA-cam KIDS
LITERALLY
Everyone asking is asking this tbh
UA-cam now is TV at 10:00 am
This isn't about UA-cam wanting to be kid friendly, it's about advertisers not wanting their ads on potentially controversial videos. UA-cam isn't blocking any of these videos, just preventing ads from being placed on them.
+Logan Little exactly
youtube made a big mistake . there are things on the list but no cussing no jokes that's bull

Ha ha UA-cam is fucking it's self over because billions are leaving
true xD it doesn't make sense
Companies might not want there ads played on vulgar videos so people don't associate the attitude of the video with the ad. Thats all I can think of but I still think it is really stupid.
May I just point out YT Terms of Service Article 12
Ability to Accept Terms of Service
You affirm that you are either more than 18 years of age, or an emancipated minor, or possess legal parental or guardian consent, and are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations, and warranties set forth in these Terms of Service, and to abide by and comply with these Terms of Service. In any case, you affirm that you are over the age of 13, as the Service is not intended for children under 13. If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use the Service. There are lots of other great web sites for you. Talk to your parents about what sites are appropriate for you.
Why is this a thing if they're age-friendly-ing the site?
Because they know that kids lie, and that brings up the next question: if they know that, then why the fuck is that part of the TOS still a thing?
William Feng Obviously you've never dealt with the Term-Clause.
Term Clause is a saving grace that states:
If the Terms say it shouldn't happen, and it still happens, the person responsible is at fault.
Since YT states plainly that you should be 18 or have permission, and actually plainly tells parents that there are sites for kids, they can't help it if a 14 year old sneaks on and watches 18+ videos, the terms of service state that by doing so he consented to being able, therefore lying on a legal document. YT can't even be touched for that reason, regardless of what happened.
Warsong Gaming Pshhhh

lol, nah, get together and make their own huge site minus all the bs rules.

Seems like.. This is a very good time to apply for a job at the UA-cams.. Looks like they need 24/7 workers to flag videos!
Ikr
XD XD XD XD XD
They're probably using algorithms similar to what they use to identify content that violates copyright rules. It would be easy for them to pick up things like words and phrases that would make it ineligible for monetization.
The whole thing is kinda upsetting because they're almost saying that there isn't any demand for videos with this sort of content... that it's not worth advertiser's money... which simply isn't right - there's obviously a huge market for that!
Sam Watson Well then, you could just learn swear words in a different language, as long as it satisfies your rage and sounds funny.. Boom!! problem solved! xD
+The Judge you are a geniuss
So what about music videos with swear words in? What about movie ads with swear words in? Are they just not allowed to make money off of them? Seriously, UA-cam has messed up so bad. I came to UA-cam because I thought it was a place where people could express themselves, but now UA-cam is just a place where kids can watch things to be entertained. Don't worry about over 13's, this place is apparently for kids now. What I don't get is there is an app called and I quote "UA-cam Kids" which has specifically kid-friendly entertainment, so that kids can go there instead of risking watching videos that contain bad language. What I'm more scared for though is the smaller UA-camrs who's job is UA-cam. If only one of their videos get demonetized they could lose a lot of money and not be able to pay for things like their house or food.
Also if people show the UA-cam guidelines policy on their video it could technically be demonetized because of certain words it contains
they could care less
+Thunder Ghoul Who couldn't?
+Desiree xx could*
Best comment
Yeah, time to watch some ads for horror movies on this kids show rather than on a creepypasta video where people might actually be interested! This isn't just bad for youtubers. It's bad for advertisers.
It should really be up to the advertisers as to which videos to place their ads, rather than youtube (and it's content bot). As you stated, a Creepypasta video should be able to monetize with ads for horror movies/metal albums,etc., for example.
+Shadow Sonata It actually is up to advertisers, because advertisers have the option to not advertise on these types of channels. It's really stupid.
You mean because an advertiser of movies can choose not to advertise on cartoon channels but some of their movies might be cartoons? Like all or nothing or what do you mean?
i agree
If advertisers can choose which videos their ads will be on, then why are so many horror movie ads on ASMR videos? (For those who don't know, ASMR videos are meant to help people to relax and fall asleep.)
shouldn't the audience determine what is okay to watch, because we are the ones who are watching.
You forget the 5 year olds.
You know the audience. There are trolls who just wants to see or make the youtuber rage and there are haters who might stupidly flag their hated youtuber's youtube videos and there are those FCKs (Feeling Cool Kids) who think flagging down is so cool he/she will will be popular and there are 12 year olds who don't know what 18+ mean
There is 1 problem with thatl; trolls will just spam "not ok to watch" :/
But then this would turn like Rotten Tomatoes, where people thumb up shit just for giggles.
When the part of the audience that wants this is A) kids who are too young to even use the site legally, or B) stupid parents who assume everything on the internet should be censored for the sake of little Timmy, yet don't bother monitoring what they're looking at themselves, then no. They should certainly not be allowed to decide.
We had a war against UA-cam 3 years ago. We'll have one now
Well, They're the owners of the website, But without the UA-camrs and users UA-cam would be nothing
True with people saying they like the new rules and some saying they hate it well I personally like the new rules that's my opinion you can hate if you want the new rules sort of help people understand why this world is so broken these days and why there now here
+Th3SoloExplor3r /ExtremeXSolo Alot of UA-camrs wont be able to make money of YT, This may sound arrogant...But they do YT for a living...Without cursing etc. (All the banned things) The videos might get less entertaining, and if they do swear they cant make money,
If you like the rules...
Well, you do you
I personally hate them and am worried about my favourite UA-camrs
And sorry for my English, It isnt perfect
+Above SKY it's pretty spot on. Just favourite in English is spelled favorite.

How about this. You and everyone else get banned from YT because you have no rights here at all. You are not forced to use YT, nor do you pay for it. It is a totally free service offered to you and if you dont like it please leave.
+Wajih Mooshroom So... You're supporting this? I'm aware this is a free service, thank you captain obvious, but this can seriously hurt many UA-camrs. They make their living off of here, and if video guidelines are so strict that videos can't be monetized anymore, their income is chopped in half. So, if you support this, as you said, "You can leave"
ExtremeTuffRider I dont really care about what YT does, its their site, get out if you dont like it. Ill do the same if I dont like it.
If you knew YT was free, try using your head and realizing, YOU CAN LEAVE. Anyone can leave. YTers who make money arnt charged a dime. If they made their own sites to show videos, they would have the pay money. YT doesnt charge a dime.
+Wajih Mooshroom dafuq is your logic
Dominic Guérard If you dont like YT, then get out. Thats my logic.
UA-cam is the new North Korea, lets be honest...

No, just something that I started thinking about. But I bet it's a quote that Leafy would use, but in this sceanrio I wouldn't judge him :P

+MrTepsty102 Tepstymon North Korea is not socialist/communist.
I propose a protest! Suport the UA-camrs, but not UA-cam! Demand a change of policies! WHO'S WITH ME!?!?! HUH?!? *WHO'S WITH ME!!?!?!!*
YEAH!!
DEFINITELY!
Or just create a new platform and give youtube some competion.
vimeo
maybe now they will find a job or create original content instead of posting video of content created by others and calling it their own? Yes I support this!
So for anyone actually curious what this is about, it's mainly more firm control on videos that may be considered disinterested by the advertiser for their products that would otherwise be innappropriately unrelated and be wasteful of their business, which otherwise in terms of ads was much less organized before. It's like black listing, but advertisers can opt in their ads to your videos. Currently it's speculated that the bot going through videos is as broken as any first bot Google sends out their door. It's basically out of Google's business with advertisers so stuff like "mayo advertisement on a video about suicide" doesn't happen where it's not to the advertiser's interest. What confuses me is that I thought we had the ability to choose what kinds of ads are in association to videos in monetization.
If you want a better idea of this, I'd reccomend Armored Skeptic's recent video on the topic. He explains it pretty well.
"Inappropriately unrelated" yet they still have horror movie ads on videos that are supposed to aid sleep.
Strange.
Ben Noble
...And that's why " Report " Button exists.
jordan just made 95% of the youtubers look like idiots, he is so chill about this oml xD
lol sparklez = a total savage roasted 95% channels ....jk
Eyyyy lmao
Yeah, that is because Jordan doesn't upload "Inappropriate" content, so ofc he doesn't really care or affects him, for most youtubers it is a problem tho...
Except...not really. You know the minecraft community is a nice niche for family friendly content already. Not THAT hard to remove the lil swears that could slip up.
+Elder Eggplant Not all of it is family friendly. There are plenty of them with swear words and questionable content.
This could be seriously bad for youtubers like: Jacksepticeye, Pewdiepie, Markiplier, Leafy, so on and so forth. I say this because if youtube is going to crackdown in these videos that could be flagged, then there could be people that dont like their content and just decide to flag it. UA-cam needs to think carefully on this because this is going to mess with lifes. If there is a large group of people that just flag videos to get them demonitized that could have a big impact in the long run. If most youtubers dont do this by now, if you do have a profit coming in from your videos make a separate savings account to store money to get interest on. I know this might be common sense but if this is truly what is happening and if i understand it correctly then there might be a chance these new rules will be abused by those who dont care or feel like only certain youtubers should exist. Now I did watch the entire video before posting this and I do think that youtubers should take caution because youtube is known for doing things that affect a lot of people: Taking down certain videos because of other foreign companies, sudden copy right notices, youtube red where you have to pay for ad free content now. Theres so many new things that you never know when the next big thing could shoot down this sight. I may be wrong in this instance and could just be speaking without great knowledge but this is what i think on the matter of this. Let me know if my opinion on the matter is off, because i do not want to be misinformed and saying all this looking like a fool.
It's likely that because of how much popular UA-camrs make, they will not be affected by this. i.e. Pewdiepie makes so much money that UA-cam will likely not take down his videos because of how much money they get from his channel.
how is it a serious concern? they make a lot of money and can live a long life and may even establish a new business, that is if they think playing games isn't "hard work"

Maybe playing the game is the "easy" part, but it takes UA-camrs hours to edit their videos, which is why many larger youtubers hire editors and at least three of them (Yogscast, Sky, and Matthias) have turned their channels into companies with designated editors that aren't normally seen in their videos, other than a few words or other thing put in humorously.
+Alexandra Olson
Going along with that, Matthias refers to his hired assistants as interns, which also means they're getting paid and job experience for future jobs. I have a lot of respect for the larger youtubers that do things like that, as they're helping to create jobs; especially in this economy. I'd hire someone that has that sort of cred on their resume
I'd think what it runs the risk of hurting more is the tourney/fighting game scene, no need for editors there.
But since it's 100% game content and loadsa trashtalking, well, y'know...
RTS/wargames a second-runner-up.
I actually am really proud of you jordan it was quite obvious that your channel views were dropping to 100k-180k but you got up started working harder,doing collabs starting series's and your views are now up to 200-400k not quite your prime but i believe youll get back there
-keep it up, much love from mohamad in lebanon
Next up: preventing newspapers from writing about mall shootings, robbery, war and corruption in politics.
That depends on which country you are referring to. UA-cam is not all American.
The rules are ambiguous. If there is a game in a UA-cam video, there rules should end there, and the rules of no sexual related content and violence DO NOT APPLY. I am not saying that there can be naked people or sex. Logically, the video needs to be perceived as someone playing a video game and nothing more. The vulgar language rule is bull shit as well. UA-cam is becoming more like T.V. and certain ratings/ad deals are going to reflect the same way in that certain UA-camrs will need to bleep out words, etc. Soon, they will not be allowed to play video games, or at least certain ones, anymore.
also parents need to do a good job and raise their kids to not watch inappropriate content. I never watched inappropriate TV shows until I was old enough to do so and I made that decision by myself
+Ryan Shah They think that suing youtube for having inappropriate content is a better idea .-" fuckers
You are even meant to be 12/13 before you watch UA-cam. Why in hell is UA-cam "catering" to an audience that wasn't meant to even be watching UA-cam? Bs at its finest.
Exactly. If you're in high school, you are old enough to be able to watch videos about controversial world topics and things of that nature. Games are rated M for a reason and you have 10 year old kids playing that freely. Sure i played COD when I was 10 but I never cursed and raged online. UA-cam is run by the older generation and they have the same mindset of T.V. stations. The difference is that the content creators and viewers are responsible for 95% of youtube's success and most of the people who work at UA-cam are irrelevant and replaceable yet they hold all the power.
UA-cam is also doing this so they can avoid videos being flagged if it is controversial or inappropriate in order to get the most money they can from videos. If videos are not controversial or inappropriate, then people won't flag it or complain about it in order to get taken gown, then the video stays up and UA-cam MAKES MORE MONEY. UA-cam is an American company. Not only do Americans have the right to free speech, everyone in the world deserves it. I don't see Ad companies ever complaining about controversial videos because those usually have a lot of views
Google should NOT be able to directly manage monetization: here's a possible solution. Each individual advertiser should be the ones choosing which videos to monetize, not a one size fits all. Google likes to manage monetization, and having a centralized system is good, but Google is unaware of just how rapid our society is changing. Vulgar language for example is on the internet considered "normal" based on the audience. Certainly, harassment of an individual via YT is wrong, and I think prevention of that is the goal. But if the goal is to prevent children from seeing "adult" videos, that's why there is something called parents/guardians who are responsible for that end of the stick. Monetization is not about preventing the wrong audience from seeing content above their age limit. The point is, it isn't up to Google on what ads get placed where. It is the advertiser, the creator, and the audience.
Or just ask for sponsorship OUTSIDE of Google.
your video about this was actually informative and less of a rant than any others i've seen. i personally wasn't able to get through any other videos about the subject but yours actually discussed it with a calm collected point of view
I feel as if this is UA-cam's way of saying,"Oh damn we are almost out of money since we are paying too many multi million sub youtubers but we never saw it coming this far" and youtube is hesitantly trying to save themselves some money...
And yes I know Google owns UA-cam, but UA-cam gets an allocated set amount of cash each month and I feel as if they blew past it.
They couldn't 'lose' money from paying youtubers. UA-camrs get money from ads. Advertisers pay UA-cam to put ads up, then a percentage of money from the ads goes to the UA-camrs, the rest goes to Google.
you should try to get a band of youtubers together and try to buy youtube
YT was sold to google years ago for 1.65 billion dollars. Its value has now increased GREATLY. If it was sold now, it would probably be at least 4 billion dollars
+Wajih Mooshroom it was a shot xD
Or create a new youtube but call it something else and make it into something new with new features.
First of all UA-cam would have to be up for sale. Secondly like "Mr. Correct and Prove Everybody Wrong in the Comment Section" said, it would be too expensive.
+Kaylee Williams Who the fuck will run the sponsorship and paying UA-camrs who create content system?
Well...Lost Pause is screwed. Poor Noble.
My favourite pussies... :(
I know right
Rip, Noble
Not again poor guy
+TheIronGeneral5011 I love UA-cam fuck it can go fuck itself. we need to start a petition to change its policy protect our UA-camrs.
jack, pewds, mark and so many good UA-camrs that we love could be hurt from this
A lot of youtuber who are affected by these changes really need to be put in place. But even more don't deserve it at all. I completely disagree with the ban on "sensitive subjects", but it would make sense if they banned "mocking sensitive subjects". If someone makes a video about a tornado or something, it shouldn't be demonetised, but if they say: "Screw all the people who died in the Orlando shooting" they should be demonetised.
Or you could just get over yourself and realize people have different opinions than you do. Don't like, don't watch. It's not your business to decide who gets to make a living based on the opinions they state on a website where people are allowed to have their own opinions (or, at least, where they used to be).
theres a differnce between"different opinion" and "praising murder"
Zoruamaster249 Hate and praise are two direct opposites, wouldn't ya know.
Carmenyoohoo
thats what i mean, youtube shouldnt ban/demontize anything UNLESS a video is openly supporting murder (or crimes just as bad) like the people prasing orlando shooter on youtube
If you aren't allowed to advocate mass murder, you're still having your freedom of speech revoked. There's no reason to demonetize such videos other than removing the freedom of speech of that person, by making them say what you want them to say for money.
Next UA-cam rule 50% of money form you tubers will go to UA-cam funds
From*
I see the sarcasm, but for people who don't know, yes, this is true.
isn't that how it goes already
with adsense
Its actually more of that already. It's like 75% of ad revenue.
it's really fraking stupid that they don't want you to swear that's a violation of freedom of speech I think the "partial nudity" thing is dumb. they block all true nudity (for the most part) and so all that slips through bikinis and stuff. That's censorship.
what happened to all my periods! They're slowly deleting me! this is censorship.
to be Fair it's youtubes platform. they really can decide if they want cursing or not. it still sucks though
You have to give up rights sometimes. Many times this has happened, welcome to the real world.
It's a private company so they can do whatever
its not just swearing you know...
There are A LOT of UA-camrs that I can think of that will have issues with these new guidelines. I feel like this might have started because of complaining parents, that's usually the case for everything nowadays XD
Like, if I read the guidelines correctly, it will be hard to upload gameplays, especially horror games like Dead By Daylight.
It's so fucking stupid really
that is actually true i heard that all this started with a petition by some parents which was concerned over what their kid was watching on youtube but they had aperently not heard of youtube kids
the word you were looking for is "sjws"
The thing is maybe the parent should actually take charge and maybe punish the child for watching that kind of stuff, and kids should learn of this thing called outside and stay away from things that are scary to them
I'm really glad this was shared. I haven't heard anyone talk about it this way before and i feel it really gives some clarity. Still, it shows how vague the conditions are and how they can be interpreted in total extremes.
Someone make a new video uploading site.
And don't be a sellout.
Even if someone does they won't have enough money to pay all the new UA-camrs that move to the new website
... .... ..... ...... ....... 👿
ill call it utube its diffrent from youtube see we stole everything from youtube and changed the name to utube simple
Vessel?
FINALLY! UA-cam feels our pain and is pushing for Mianite Season 3 to happen.
UA-cam is my TV... I'm scarred. :(
This site used to be something to get away from tv with different entertainment and cussing and doing other stuff like fucking skits or even book reviews and shit that you can't find in tv, now it is turning to tv where they can't say anything in shows
I don't even watch TV
welp time to go play games on steam... that seems to be the only entertainment i have now :(
UA-cam has always been like this, that EXACT same table has been in their terms of service since day 1. They're just trying to inform the youtubers who all of a sudden say "why did my video get deleted???". Everyone just needs to calm the hell down, UA-cam wouldn't kill itself.
it said vulgar language isn't allowed, so rip Jacksepticeye and Markiplier and pewdiepie and many others

Ok UA-cam,
Stop. These you tubers devote their lives, LIVES to promoting your website. Why would you want to make them quit promoting UA-cam. What would UA-cam be without UA-camrs? Nothing. UA-cam is being stupid and I'm not afraid to tell that! STOP UA-cam.
Please, let's start to realize ppl and UA-cam, this is their job.
Have a great day all who are not with these decisions,

Anyone with me?
+Emma Davis ME!
+Daria Levi Thank You!!
I always love your positive attitude and logical approach to these kinds of situations. As always a joy to watch,
good job you tube you are going to lose alot of money
youtube is going downhill faster than my life
Yeah, I mean, UA-cam is gonna lose a lot of its viewers if it keeps this up. Just get restricted mode or UA-cam kids, for younger audiences!
+The Gaming Potato that's fast
+Nick Stewart kids shouldent even be on youtube in the first place for fucks sake
+momomox Yeah but come on they're obv gonna be
"youtube has a rule that we have been breaking since the rule was made, now youtube is enforcing their rule that we've been breaking, now im mad"
yea me too
They should of enforced it to begin with instead of just breaking it in out of nowhere
This is litterally one of the main causes for the American Revolution.....
yea

nuuuuuuuu! leafyisbeefy will live on!
As I was watching this I started thinking of yours and other UA-camrs old videos and started crying and also thinking what happened from 2007-2013 (When UA-cam was good to me)
I'm just saying, this seams like a terrible idea for UA-cam. Even if they are trying to make it kid friendly, do they have any clue how much they'll lose from this? Good luck, Sparklez.
Well yea. I mean apparently no one under 13 is supposed to have a UA-cam account yet they don't allow cursing?
If UA-cam doesn't do this, advertisers will just go away. Advertisers go away = UA-cam is over. Alphabet has been rather benevolent all this time since UA-cam hasn't been profitable from the beginning. Right now the algorithm is a bit ruff around the edges, but it will get tuned in time and soon things will be normal.
Fuckin' SJW! (Andre Breda)
UA-cam is committing suicide.
+André Breda Advertisers haven't ever went away, why would they now? They make money off of viewers too.
I think they should see they messed up, then they should find a better solution to this "advertiser friendly content". If they had some kind of rating system like G, PG, PG-13, R and then advertisers can choose what rated video they want there ad to put on.
We are working on a youtube alternative. We will have the kickstarter up and going soon. We will keep everyone posted on how things will go soon. We will post a link for it soon on reddit.
What's it called?
What be callwe
On today's episode of kickstarter crap...
Thank you for being so level-headed and articulate in explaining what's happening and how you feel.
This is a story of how UA-cam gets fucked over.
UA-cam: Hey guys, we just released the new community guidelines! Well, enforced it more. So you guys better stop cursing!
1 hour later.
UA-cam: It seems like the you tubers hate it. Well it doesn't matter, they either take it or leave it.
Big famous UA-camr: I quit. UA-cam is shit now. Gonna stream from now on, on twitch.
Other famous you tubers: Gonna go stream on twitch now too.
Twitch HQ: Okay, we are now making twitch like UA-cam. More money for us. Hehe!
3 seconds later.
UA-cam HQ: How did we end up in a road side ditch getting gunned down like the degenerates we are?
UA-cam acting like there's new kid on this website lol...
They need censorship
Can UA-cam do this This seems as though it would infringe on peoples freedom of speech/expression.
its their website they can do what they want, if the only wanted christian videos speaking the word of the bible and only that they can do that. although that would be a very prejudice format they can do that, bc they arent actually inhibiting what you say or how you express yourself in every aspect of your life, its just for when youre on their site. bc if that were the case we would be able to post sexual nudity on here, which we cant bc its ultimately up to youtube. you cant come into my house and say things bc you have a freedom of speech, its my house my rules, now you can be outside my house and say what ever you want bc you are allowed to be there and you have that right.
Oh, alright.
I mean I could be in your house and say what I want, you'd just throw me out. Which is what you're saying about this topic. I get what you mean. Follow the guidelines and all is good.
stupid guidelines at that. lol i doubt they'll follow through with them tbh
Banksy McGee Honestly so do I. That's going to be hard to enforce in the first place.
Jordan's voice is so calming I feel asleep watching this its currently morning 😂😂😂
This is literally censorship to screw youtubers over "saying these list of words makes all your videos unmonotized and you cant do anything about it even though we have some videos with the words on there, but thats irreverent" fucking hypocrite youtube
Do u really think UA-cam actually wants to do this? Someone like the federal's r making them do this. Since they r this they r going to make less money themselves. So it doesn't make any sense
+Parker Shelton-Lamb Nah, they are going to make MORE money from this, because they are probably going to take more money from those channels that have profanity, and they already take 70-75% of ad revenue on UA-cam.
They are NOT taking money. They are ending ads which means NO ONE gets payed. YT loses money. YTers lose money. Only advertising companies gain.
The youtube is dying slowly. R.I.P UA-cam
cya in heaven
With the way UA-cam is going down, it may not be their but on the other side.
UA-cam just wants to join Harambe smh
YOU'RE NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE 12 YEAR OLDS OMG
Says the person with a kids toy as their icon
I'm 11 rip me
Oh no I'm not supposed to be here oh shit. oh wait. I dont care no 12 year old cares tbh
Lol. Last I checked this was Captain Sparklez. And uh also... Check your little pic before you make dumbass comments.
there are still so many 12 year olds that watch that shit too tho
I really appreciate the way you broke this down and explained things. Thanks for taking a methodical and ELI5 route. :)
Seriously, can't they just add a feature where the channel can specify the age range for appropriate viewing? Wouldn't that help advertisers decided which are appropriate for their intended age group?
So is there a gaming video coming today?
Maybe pixelmon?
There was, Trials was earlier.
Yeah I'm not a fan of trials, but I was just wondering if he was gonna upload another gaming video.
+Proraptor Gaming doubt it, he does two videos a day wether it's a combination of a vlog style video or a gaming video!! Soooo probably no other video today
UA-cam is rated 17+ so it shouldn't matter if you are inappropriate unless it is explicit material who cares you should be aware on what you are watching and your age. So who cares!
its 13+
do you know anything at all?
Lara Stjepič Lying age with parental permission IS allowed. Where I live at least.
+Wajih Mooshroom 13+ to make an account but on all other things suck as mobile and console it is 17+ to download it. (I'm talking in a general standpoint)
Charmin Ultra Strong Toilet Paper YT is available for console? Wait what...
+Lara Stjepič yeah I think it's 'legal' if a parent Is watching you when your on UA-cam. So PG
thanks captain for the information I was confused why some of the youtubers I watch have been taken down their videos anyway
UA-camrs need to sue Google for taking away 1st amendment right
Why Google?
+ChintzySpade130 Gaming they own UA-cam
+ChintzySpade130 Gaming Google owns youtube
Oh,thought UA-cam was an independent company
+ChintzySpade130 Gaming not after 2012-13 ish.
you probably weren't around when Bob was "threatening" WWIII because Google bought UA-cam....that was a meme in the UA-cam comments...
Those guidelines remind me of my school dress code.
Including this topic 😂
so probably stupid and slightly conservative(Which is pretty bad)????
+avery dotts this is more liberal than anything else as they are trying to impede "harmful/hurtful" phrases and wlrds that could hurt someones pysche.
illicitTree yt I mean, that's not true though, Liberal is just "Don't be ignorant, or close minded" which is literally what being conservative is, close minded and ignorant
This isn't liberal, it's regressive :(
12 minute long video, has dozens of likes. come on people, watch the video first
Lol
no, you watch it first
Don't tell me how to live my life!
Tesla Haxz Dont tell me what to not tell you!!!
UA-cam should just make a system where advertisers can have a sort of blacklist or something on certain video tags, URLs, channels, etc. because that would make it so much more simple. Just because one certain advertiser doesn't want to be advertised in conjunction with a specific topic doesn't mean another totally different advertiser has a problem with it.
I hope nothing extreme happens to UA-cam because this is what i want to do for a career. :/
who cares
?
follow your dreams :)
+l1ghtning _b0lt thanks. means alot 😊
you might not care...but who cares what you think Bubbles. The Human ODST does and good for him.
Thats not a feasable career. Itʻs ok to have dreams just dont expect them to happen.
HEY! This is offensive to blind people!!!!!
Lmao nice joke
xD
Flagged for having sound which will offend deaf people.
its all the god damn parents who get on here and are like, "BILLY!!! YOUR 12 WHY U WATCHING SOMEONE CURSE!!!" kid responds, "because its funny." then instead of a "REAL" parent saying your too young the terrible parents yell at youtube for allowing it. if you dont like ur kid watching youtube then dont let them........
I love how you always kind of try to explan all the sides of the issue when something like this happens, it makes it a lot easier to understand what's goign on. Since stuff has the tendency to get blown out of proportion and panic and mob hysteria spread like wildfire on youtube, I always come to your channel when youtube has a change like this because I know it'll be explained in a fairly non-biased, comprehensible way. I just wanted to say thanks for keeping me and a lot of other people informed!
UA-cam is going to get in some shit. Some small company is going to create something AMAZING for big youtubers and they will move there. So i have no idea why they are changing the policy in this way.
Doubt it, running a service like UA-cam is very expensive, it's so expensive that even though UA-cam earns $3-4 Billion annually, it's still not profitable.
Kind of like Patreon? That went fantastically didn't it?
I just realize that UA-cam is starting to be like TV, UA-cam was suppose to be a place where you upload dumb and stupid things. You were free to say what ever you eant to say...
