Is it really bullying if the bullied is making fun of himself? All Lowtax did was compile the footage, stupidsweedish is the one providing the audio.

No, no, it is a manual process.

I talked about this on Retsutalk, but the gist is that back in the day, we had Khad guest on a video and he called someone a fag. It was very dumb of me not to edit that out or something, but regardless, someone else named TheFuryOfTheTubes took it upon themselves to get retsupurae removed from YouTube so they flagged a lot of our videos.

The ones with actual footage got taken down, we lost the account until we contested it, and we got it back. So since then, we've been very careful around camera footage. And Khad.

If that's all it takes to get a video flagged, then I don't see why PewDiePie can get away with it as well. Isn't he really bad about the homophobic and rape jokes?

I'm sure someone has to have flagged him for poo poo a few times.

He has 12 million subscribers who also double as eyeballs for advertisements. YouTube wouldn't do anything to jeopardize that unless he did something particularly egregious.

Maybe, maybe not.

YouTube does have an automated "Content Match" system which they use for third-party claims, definitely, but I'm pretty sure it's not the case for Terms of Service stuff.

But I honestly, I don't know how the flagging system works internally. Maybe people don't flag them? Maybe it has to be commensurate with the views the video gets for them to take notice?

don't forget how easily Anita Sarkeesian's video got "flagged." It seriously happened in MINUTES. The video was put back up, but only after the backlash from people. If she was a lesser-known entity then her video could have stayed down for longer.

(Sarkeesian's video originally got taken down for TOS? I had no idea.)

That's why I'm wondering if the flag number has to be commensurate with the view number before they take notice. It's easy to imagine the horde of people clicking on the "Flag this video!" option for her video; not so much for a PewDiePie video (or the people who do aren't a big enough percentage compared to the people clicking like).

But yeah, if they took down the Sarkeesian video temporarily, I guess I was wrong. It'd have to be automated then.

Yeah, its pretty much been automated since about 2010/2011

Unless you happen to be pulling youtube the big bucks, or are just an extremely big name in general, they'll usually bend to what ever flagging has been thrown at you, although it does require a decent amount of flags to have it happen

Dammit, I missed it. :(

Somebody please describe the video in great detail, so that I can fit in with the cool kids.


The video starts. There is a challenge with a countdown starting from 5. You think to yourself; This can't be so bad. I've seen the worst that youtube has to offer before, I'm tough.
Then come the images: Nine PewDiePies, all doing their PDP thing. Okay, you think, I've seen morons acting like morons before but maybe I should pause this until someone is done using the blender in the kitchen.

It's that moment when your mind fully processes what the sound you hear is. Those nine Pewds, all shrieking and screaming in unison. One is screaming that he is going to rape something, one is shrieking, begging for his other self not to rape him. You think you catch something about a barrel, and then the rest is lost. For the next minute and twenty seconds, you are subjected to sounds not unlike what you would get by feeding newborns and nuns feet-first into a wood chipper. You press on, and soon you think you can understand more of what these men are screaming, as if you have reached a moment of clarity. In that moment, you realize that there is no just and loving god. It fades, leaving you with a growing horror deep in your soul, and the shrieking of madmen echoing in your ears. You begin looking around for a sharp object to free yourself from this torment, but then, mercifully, the sound fades. You are left in silence, your eardrums having ruptured as a defense mechanism.

It's sort of like that.

If you're going to flag him. Flag him for hate speech, since he can at least be legitimately pinned for that due to all the rape and gay jokes. Although it might be a bit flimsy, it's the best option to actually have Google listen.

If it's automated, then the sheer number of videos PewDiePie puts out probably protects him too; anyone who dislikes him isn't even going to get through one entire video, so they're unlikely to all flag the same one, or multiple videos.

That wouldn't explain it if Youtube accounts for people having multiple videos flagged for the same thing, but from what everyone else has said I'm guessing they don't.

The first time I even saw the guy he was playing CoF in the recommended videos for a CoF LP by some Youtube LPer I was watching. My immediate reaction was, "Who's this jackass with his dumb face on every video? And oh god his name is so retarded that it's literally making me angry, what the hell."

Pewdiepie is actually far more tolerable as a wall of white noise. The real challenge is sitting through a single one of PDP's normal videos.
