It sounds like restricted mode is supposed to work on a per-video basis but the Vet Ranch guy is having videos restricted even when it's a video about looking at cute puppies.

Also, putting ammo in the microwave is actually super fun, but it's not as good as that other guy who put a bunch of .22lr in a popcorn popper.

I heard there's a cream for that...
Restricted mode also filtered out a bunch of channels centring around engineering and electronics for no apparent reason. It's like the algorithm interprets any jargon it can't understand as obsfucated swearing.

The actual issue behind channels like Vet Ranch and Demolition Ranch getting labeled as restricted is that YouTube has been putting a lot of videos on their restricted list after changing their algorithm in the past few weeks. Gun channels are some of the most vocal recent ones to get hit, but they've also noticeably restricted a lot of benign LGBT videos and pro wrestling videos. When the videos get put on restricted, they don't appear if you turn on restricted mode on your account (like if there's a kid browsing YouTube) and thus the videos get less views and therefore less ad revenue. Smaller channels can suffer greatly from this kind of thing.

Unless it was changed recently doesn't restricting a video prevent the owner from collecting any ad revenue from it at all?

I looked it up and yeah, you're right. As soon as they get restricted, that revenue gets cut off completely.

They also banned channels with less than 10,000 views from joining their Partner program to make ad revenue, so I guess the schadenfreude is Google trying to torpedo itself.

This one is a non-issue. 10K lifetime is trivial to get, and if you have less than that you would be earning less than a dollar total from all your videos.

The gun stuff irks me, to be sure, but what really gets me pissed is having all the GLBT stuff automatically added to the Restricted list and blanket banned from revenue. Good job making GBS threads on an already underserved minority.

Well history has proven that the gay community has very little in the way of consumer power so why would you advertise to them?

Get hosed, Kelvin Mackenzie.

Notoriously homophobic, former editor of the Sun newspaper here finally has something catch up with him - he compared a footballer to a gorilla in one of his columns.

A mixed race footballer.

quote:

In his column, MacKenzie wrote: “Perhaps unfairly, I have always judged Ross Barkley as one of our dimmest footballers. There is something about the lack of reflection in his eyes which makes me certain not only are the lights not on, there is definitely nobody at home.

“I get a similar feeling when seeing a gorilla at the zoo. The physique is magnificent but it’s the eyes that tell the story. So it came as no surprise to me that the Everton star copped a nasty right-hander in a nightclub for allegedly eyeing up an attractive young lady who, as they say, was ‘spoken for’.

“The reality is that at £60,000 a week and being both thick and single, he is an attractive catch in the Liverpool area, where the only men with similar pay packets are drug dealers and therefore not at nightclubs, as they are often guests of Her Majesty.”

quote:

Speaking after his suspension, MacKenzie told the Press Association: “I had no idea of Ross Barkley’s family background and nor did anybody else. For the Mayor of Liverpool and a handful of others to describe the article as racist is beyond parody.”



It's frustrating that his previous homophobia, naming of rape victims against their will, posting the addresses of gay people and encouraging people to "visit" them, etc, has gone untouched but I'm glad some form of karma has caught up with the fuckwit. I don't see him getting much more than a slap on the wrist though.

Is the schadenfreude this new YouTube video format where a 3 second clip is looped 20 times then there's a minute of black screen and overdubed 90s jockjam music? I feel like this is intended to game some YouTube algorithm somehow.

Cops behaving badly?

That's how the first-aid kit racket works. You get hurt opening up your first-aid kit, so you need to use more supplies, so you need to replace it sooner.
