YouTube probably got pressure from advertisers. Like how sponsors poo poo a brick over TLC taking their bulk ad buys and sticking them on Duggar shows that no one wanted to be associated with anymore.

Youtube probably doesn't want to screw their advertisers by making them run ads on something about gang rape or teen suicide, and it's not like they can watch every video posted to YouTube to make sure they filter out the graphic poo poo. I don't think it's dumb at all because it's money. It's not like they're banning you from youtube forever and stopping you from making internet movies. They're just not letting people make advertising bucks off of certain content anymore. Especially considering how prevalent things like Patreon are these days, it's kind of weird that so many people get bent out of shape over youtube advertiser cash. But then I remember there are people on youtube entirely based around advertising solely to children to get a bunch of dumb kids to watch their dumb shouty videos every day all day.

I use uBlock and in the last week I've been getting ads forced though while watching youtube playlists. I don't get them when I click on individual videos, but monetized playlists have them hardcoded somehow. Reading about the new content rules, it makes sense that YT is making a huge push to start matching appropriate ads to videos. (I'm watching though Scott Manley's KSP Interstellar Quest, and I got space-themed car ad.) They pop in and load in the existing video and takes a refresh to get rid of them, which loses your place in the video. If users were being banned or their videos deleted wholesale, I'd get the rage but it sounds like the automated flagging system hasn't worked itself out yet and it'll improve over time. lovely and annoying, but not the YT Apocalypse where they're purging to make the whole site ad-friendly.

I also use Youtube Options as well. I have NEVER seen an ad on playlists or otherwise.

I get it for free with Google Play music, and the offline saving thing is awesome. I line up a few videos for the train ride home while at work, and save my data for shitposting here.

Yeah I got the Play sub because it's great for workout and family road trip music, and the Red sub is the bonus for me. Wouldn't pay for it by itself. I was downloading YouTube videos on en.savefrom.net for the ride home from work, and this just cuts out the middleman.

Every single thread in D&D is a topic that would be banned under this, right? And pretty much anything dealing with history (in the past and present. This makes pretty much everything kid rated only? Anything else would be covered by Copyright? If they run this over all of youtube, no one makes any money except Google? I guess that works for them. The Schadenfreude is seeing everyone stop's trying to put anything on youtube. Maybe we all start watching porn channels because they won't care what you put on them andf you can talk about politics/news/current affairs/history/anything and still get some money from advertising of some sort.

There have also been videos that have had monetization disabled because of that but youtube still runs ads on them. I guess advertisers don't mind it when only google gets the money. Andrast has a new favorite as of 12:03 on Sep 2, 2016 |

I have NEVER had an ad on my computer with uBlock. My PS3 on the other hand - every loving video has an ad plus massive overscan issues  EDIT: I won't judge your viewing preferences. I watch/listen to some terrible poo poo too.

FCKGW posted:You don't get your channel hosed, you just can't profit from running ads on tragedies and harassment. So should TV news agencies not be allowed to run commercials? Should someone who does makeup tutorials not be allowed to monetize? I mean, they literally banned (direct quote) "controversial subjects." Are people no longer allowed to have a civil debate about relevant issues? The ability for anyone to say anything is what mad the internet explode like it did, and limiting that is (I can't believe this needs to be said) a Bad Thing. Sure, if someone's uploading videos that are actively inciting violence, yeah gently caress 'em. But some girl who has managed to eke out a living showing other people who to do makeup is too ~controversial~ for youtubes algorithm? Cmon man. That's just silly. belt posted:I don't get why this is stupid.

All that being said, I'm still laughing my rear end off at it because it's fuckin' funny to watch people who make a living doing youtube videos whine about the prospect of being forced to get a real job.

Like I said, YouTube Red just means I don't have to save them to my computer then transfer them over. YouTube Red basically does nothing for people using a browser that uBlock doesn't do.

The new Youtube policy is pretty dumb. Just flag the videos with over 18 content and be done with it. I am a video game nerd and if you've ever played online video games there is often cursing involved, violence, and all around Mature rated content. Why should the people who make videos about video games be cut off because of the way they create content? Does this mean political videos are being purged too? I don't get the rationale here.

Advertisers want to have some control over what types of content their brands are being associated with. It's not entirely unreasonable. The videos themselves aren't being removed or anything, just ineligible for getting ad revenue. SpacePig has a new favorite as of 18:06 on Sep 2, 2016 |

It works the same way as ads on TV: companys want to portray an image and having an ad for American Airlines doesn't really run well with a 9/11 conspiracy video edit: the alternative to an automated system is some guy at YoutubeHQ screening every video before it gets monetized; that's roughly how TV/Magazines/etc works

Wouldn't the answer to be not to associate those ads with those types of pages though? Just populate the videos with ads that are relevant. It seems weird to just pull the funding all together.

If Youtube still displays ads over the content (and thus profits off the video) despite the content not being monetized for the creator, does that count as theft or what?
