Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
Youtube folks get fed up, go and put out binaries of their videos on Usenet or go to some other private video hosting they control ad revenue on.

Then they eventually turn around and have to be the ones that have to issue takedown notices on Youtube for people re-uploading their intellectual property without permission.

if you remember the hit thread i made where a huge woman who might have been a man with a cut off sleeves shirt sees a kid filming a street fight, then starts going 'dont film it dog, ill break your poo poo dog' while chasing them, threatening to assault him and then destroy his camera, before his friend sort of runs and bumps into her, so she falls down

youtube seriously deleted that video for 'bullying'

so the judge and jury of the internet actually sided with the person who intended to commit assault and destroy property because she got made fun of for falling down while fat in the comments

i wish i was kidding, also google flagged wikileaks as a hacksite 28 minutes after the DNC leaks hit the internet so i have no idea why anything surprises me anymore or why anyone believes freedom still exists

lol link to that video?

YouTube has always been heavily censored except for maybe the first year or two. And it's their right. You can use Vimeo for your pornographic art videos.

youtube twitter facebook etc. are not "free speech" sites, they are private websites and the owners can censor kick ban etc. whoever they want
this gets to be a problem when google, amazon, and facebook buy out websites like youtube, twitch, and instagram. there's nothing saying that they can't just ban you from every single one of their family of websites because somebody doesn't like you and complains about it

Is the problem with the way the commercials and ads work on YouTube?

Someone says something offensive on TV, people get together, say they're going to boycott advertisers unless they stop promoting it, etc.

On YT, however, I seem to get mostly the same ads no matter what I watch. Advertisers don't want to appear to be supporting controversial or offensive stuff, but they still want their ads to be seen, so is the quick fix, "Anything potentially offensive just won't get monetized for it, so you can still have the ads and what not, but content producers aren't benefiting from it financially."?

content producers decide the level of advertising on thier videos iirc so if they aint gonna get paid they will just tske all the ads off thier videos resulting in a total loss for advertisers anyway

p sure this is just a push towards youtube red

There is literally no 'produced' YouTube content worth watching anyway with the exception of pirated slightly hard to find TV shows which stay up bc they slightly alter the pitch to avoid auto takedown, and they're not going to censor the boring-rear end hydraulic press videos/baby animal/weed science/epic fail complications making up the other 95% of YouTube. I've never compelled to subscribe to a single channel ever. People simply don't put serious creative work on YouTube as the primary outlet.

I always wonder if YouTube mails out those ONE MILLION VIEWS trophies to dudes that upload a video that's like "GENESIS - LAND OF CONFUSION [LYRICS]" to their fourteen subscriber channel and inexplicably get 9 million views on it
