      @toadysp 4 роки тому +750

      From what I've heard, I think that's moreso an issue with Coppa. UA-cam restricts features on "children's content" because they want creators to lie and say that their content isn't made for children even if it is. That way they can still make ad revenue off of it. Basically: Coppa said "You guys can't make advertising revenue off of content labeled for kids because we don't want you collecting ad data on children.". So UA-cam is like "Okaaay we'll just try to force our content creators to lie then, so that way if a lawsuit happens, the individual creators who lied will be held responsible and we won't, and we can still make money." Basically the only way you're able to profit off of kids content now is to put yourself at risk of a Coppa violation.

  • @OutlawPrince45
    @OutlawPrince45 2 роки тому +752

    The most suspicious thing about Matt for me is the fact he never left an anonymous tip off to law enforcement. It’s extremely easy to do, very safe, and just common sense. His aim was not to target predators but to target a corporation that predators are leeching off of. The way he so quickly and vehemently shot down anyone who contacted him to even discuss the possibility of a different solution was kind of unsettling. It just doesn’t make sense unless he has a weird ulterior motive. That and his *extremely* inconsistent level of technological competence. That part absolutely reeks of B.S.

    My theory is he was basically sick of UA-cam and frustrated he couldnt make a living on it. He knew how it worked, but his content just wasnt good enough to generate. So he started this entire debacle as sort of the last ditch molotov, then called it quits. Reddit, did what Reddit does. His video got huge from that at first, and everyone with ulterior motives began latching on. Advertisers, companies and especially online news-sites who have this constant competition / vendetta against this platform.

      I agree with you AlternateHistoryHub. IMO, I think he just got tired of the drama, and just got out of there, since he knew he wasn't getting anywhere. The part I don't get is why his streams were monetized but left when people were still willing to watch him? Maybe he was just mentally ill for all we know and wanted 4 things at the sametime. Honestly, I lack the creativity to come up with a theory of my own, but his actions just don't make sense, and maybe we are looking at it from an incorrect perspective. Maybe his plan, what ever it was, turned out to be badly thought out and fell flat. I don't know, I think I'm wrong myself, I'm just throwing ideas here and there, but one thing is for sure: He was not a good summeritan.

      The disgruntled UA-camr hypothesis doesn't make any sense, in my opinion. This was corporate, how the schedules all line up perfectly is way too suspicious. Watson's bizarre history on the platform doesn't disprove this hypothesis either, and in fact it helps obfuscate the agenda, anyone looking to hire someone for this kind of stunt wouldn't go for a blank slate. There is also the fact that the supposed exploitation was already being heavily discussed on several online forums prior to Watson's video, so there was a non-negligible and very loud swath of the Internet already very receptive to this message. Claiming that this was all about a disgruntled UA-camr only makes sense superficially, and ignores a huge portion of the story. You can't Occam's Razor this one without setting aside important details.

    Matt is the ultimate UA-cam paradox. He has quite good understanding of deeper internet minutiae, yet fundamentally misunderstands the consequences of his actions. He knows how to rile up a giant mob of people, yet has no interest in talking to the people who could actually help him and his cause. He went through the hassle of submitting anonymous emails to news sources, but had his name and face plastered all over the campaign. It's such a mixture of intelligence and incompetency that it's virtually impossible to try and figure out what the fuck he's actually trying to do. It's incredible in and of itself

      If someone holds to misleading counter intuitive intents, maybe it’s to cause the fallacy of “impossible to figure out.”
      It’s called corporate espionage. It’s been done so many times on this platform for various reasons.
      Can be corporate, political, or just “for the lols” some people like to “create games” which are actually giant psychological operations where they themselves are the lone gun that causes hundreds, if not thousands of people to lose their mind.

      My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
