So I was reading boards like Reddit about Youtube kind of going crazy, and I just though it was business as usual. However, when i watched the Angry Joe channel on YouTube, I noticed he had to reupload a video because he was demonetized in the original video for cursing.
It seems like Youtubes is starting to even manually review videos as well.
But what gets me is if you search about the cursing issues you'll find in only the last 8-9 days there are many many youtubers complaining about this issue. Even about sometimes not even cursing at all or barely much more than a few "Damns" or maybe an "asshole" and not just talking about demonetization but suspensions. This is part of YouTube stepping up censorship and control as seen in this thread.
But the part that gets me is that MOSTLY almost all these cases are gaming related videos. Food channels, crazy stunt channels, anti-trump channels, style, beauty, make-up, tutorial, fix it vlog channels. Trans and LGBT channels especially seem to have complete immunity in most cases. Along with spanish channels.
It isn't very surprising though, people have been going after big gaming celebrities for awhile now and apparently that's where most of the advertising and adsense checks are going to so it seems they are trying to get that under their control so that they can regulate Youtube in a way the top brass prefer.
But the issue with that is YouTube no longer becomes what it's advertised as. Sadly, there aren't any alternatives these days, yet, that could give YouTube a smack in the face and make them come back to reality (even though Dailymotion claims to get a 3rd of YouTubes audience but view and sub count don't support that) .
Of course my issue is that this makes people who live off gaming and the hobby of gaming in general seem like toxic or bad people, while making them create less content, and possibly being broke.
It's likely the death of not only smaller channels, but mid-sized channels, and old favorites that have been with us since 2008-201l.
