oh and no crash mats, Norris is landing on cardboard boxes there!

Yes, that's completely normal and standard practice on movies. Inflatable mats are only used when the impact point is definitely known. You can't use multiple since the person could slide between them. Cardboard boxes are used when the landing area is very large, and stacking them offset means the actor can't just slide between them.

I don't know if this really counts, but practically every post from a YouTuber about how their videos are no longer displaying ads due to suitability because of their content.

I suppose part of it is their response to it. Some have existing Patreons (due in large part that ad revenue is spitting out pennies, so why are you kvetching), others are claiming they'll be jumping ship (to where?), and some just want you to get outraged.

Post an example then. Also you're very wrong because a lot of people make their money on YouTube and their content is pretty vanilla but the backlash is so immense it's damaging a lot of people who've never posted anything remotely controversial. For example when YouTube age gated a ton of LGBT videos automatically they lost plenty of money for no reason other than YouTube's gently caress up.

Fair enough, here's a dude I follow with 15k subs, saying he's going to jump ship:

https://twitter.com/BootsToReboots/status/899544118283644929

Dude's content (especially his skits) can be actually mildly disturbing and violent, so no poo poo his stuff could be argued as not suitable for some advertisers.

As for people trying to make their money on YouTube, events like this remind me why that notion will always be a vein of schadenfreude for me. You'd think by now you'd get the notion that you're at the whim of a platform you don't have control over, unless you're crazy popular, but nooooooooo.

Even crazy popular people that have any content at all that the advertisers deem inappropriate get shunted into the "no income for you" category. Tons of people I watch that just do video game LPs are shutting down because they don't bother editing out curse words and other things from games and that puts them on Youtube's new unadvertisable list. YT's advertising has gotten so draconic that unless you're like the platonic ideal of a 50's sitcom you're probably going to get tossed into their no-monetizing category.

Yeah? That's what I'm talking about. If I was doing LPs and putting them on YouTube, I'd either put in the effort to ding out my swears, go into it knowing I'm going to forgo monetization, or both. Assuming in 2017 you're going to run a YouTube channel at something of a net gain (short of Patreon) is the kind of low-key pride-before-the-fall stuff that makes good schadenfreude.

Google just no-platformed a statistics professor at Columbia who's routinely cited and linked to by WaPo, NYT, etc. He worked for the Obama administration. He was the director of research and analytics for TARP, and ran the PBGC. NYT literally just based an article on his work, and linked to his blog page, but it's now a dead link because Google banned him from everything.

Everything. Even his gmail account. Google's response is their typical black box: "You broke a rule. We're not telling you which rule you broke. But it's in the TOS somewhere."

It's not just YouTube. Something is broken at Google.

You're literally always at the whim of a platform you don't have control over, regardless of your income stream. That's how capitalism works.

The "Puritan work ethic" - "hard work and persistence will always lead to success" - is a lie sold to you by corporations that profit from your hard work and persistence.

Would you also edit out any content in the whole video game that applies? Even knowing the video game itself can be one of the things advertised on Youtube, you can't get monetization for showing a video game where, say, people swear.

I probably wouldn't go that far, but that falls under the "go[ing] into it knowing I'm going to forgo monetization" thing I said in the post you quoted to make your reply.

The freude would entirely be on me for presumably wishing to squeeze blood from the stone of YouTube. If it wasn't the unworthiness for ads, it'd be the ad blockers making the numbers poo poo, and if it wasn't that it'd be trying to make money off YouTube videos in general without something like Patreon.

the uploader is the one that gets first pick at what content rating a video has now, so unless they're not applying one(and it gets restricted by default) you can't honestly blame youtube.
