He’s not wrong.

Disney Drops Pewdiepie Over Anti-Semitic Jokes

Maker Studios, a division of Disney, just severed their deal with YouTube megastar Pewdiepie. They pointed to a (now-deleted) January 11 video in which Pewdiepie paid two men to hold up a sign that read, “Death To All Jews.”

http://kotaku.com/disney-drops-pewdiepie-over-anti-semitic-jokes-1792324412

This comes across like pewdiepie trying to be "edgy" to shed his image of being some one that 11 year olds like. "No seriously guys I like pepe memes as well."

Odd. Surely Google can serve ads to people above a certain age.

They absolutely could if they wanted to. They've even had a Youtube ads age restriction feature for 7 years now so they can profit from ads for booze and other stuff that can't be shown to kids. Also some of the age restricted videos have racked up hundreds of millions of views so Youtube lost a pile of potential revenue from not running ads alongside those videos, so it's not a decision they took lightly.

My guess is that they didn't want to be seen to be profiting from R-rated user content.

When I use Youtube on my console the ads seem to be exclusively sports gambling related or insurance companies. Actually - separating those two is redundant.

Exactly. "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be." Aptly, this is from a book, Mother Night, about someone pretending to be a Nazi.

Also: Pewdiepie is a screeching moron and he's the reason I can't stand to watch 95% of let's plays. gently caress that guy.

R-rated audiences are just not very profitable. On the internet typically the most valuable target audiences per 1000 views are the very old (medicine and alternative medicines) and the very young (toys and games). Kids have a very low resistance to ads and through their often middle-aged parents they have access to massive spending power. Most countries heavily restrict traditional forms of marketing aimed at children for this very reason but legislation has been slow to catch up to the reality of internet ads.

Yeah, but those guys weren't part of the President's team. That was before he was elected. This is the first of President Trump's inner circle to fall.

YouTube does not want to be Redtube, so they ban porn. If something is pretty risque but not actually porn, they just don't allow it to be monetized. This minimizes the financial incentive to push the limit while avoiding accusations of censorship.

It's things like this that make me legitimately think: is Donald actually loving mentally challenged? You're on what is supposed to be a secure phone call, on an unsecured phone, with half a dozen people crowded around you, themselves recording all of it with their own unsecured phones. And there's photographers documenting all of it. Where does he think leaks come from? This is way beyond his politics and it just Donald being a loving idiot.

It's not hard to figure out. Donald is being presidential in his club. He's telling people that a membership not only entitles you to golfing and clubhouse privileges, but also the opportunity to witness a President doing presidential things. Obama watched Bin Laden get taken down in a cramped situation room. Join Mar a Lago and you might see ISIS leaders double tapped on a projector screen.

Cue every foreign government or media organization scrambling to get a membership or pay a proxy who already has one.

YouTube cancels PewDiePie's original series following Nazi controversy

quote:

PewDiePie was set to release the second season of his original series, Scare PewDiePie, a YouTube Red exclusive that the video giant paid to produce. The release of that show has now been cancelled, according to a YouTube spokesperson. PewDiePie is also being removed from the Google Preferred advertising program, which is reserved for its bigger and more marketable creators. That will have a direct hit on PewDiePie’s earnings, as the Preferred program is home to brand advertising that generates more revenue than typical YouTube advertising.
