“I bet YouTube is throwing a massive tantrum about not being able to censor the fuck out of the net Hellraiser game trailer. Then again, it’s an ad so maybe not. submitted by /u/Scarlet_Cultist111 [link] [comments]”

“Bruh, they allow gambling and practically adult ads, yet this is where they draw the line, guess they have better things to focus on.”
“I got subscribed to Charlie Kirk’s YouTube channel when i didn’t even want to be subbed to it. I only realised this when i got a post about the Charlie Kirk memorial stream. I don’t even lean that way on the political spectrum, I do not know why I’m subscribed to that channel and i think it was a purchased subscription”

They want to get rid of small channels and replace them with ai slop.
“Genuine question: What should they do about it? Let's assume that we (probably?) agree that they are not intentionally and knowingly promoting AI slop. How should they detect it? Using.... more AI? The cost of doing so would likely be very high and result in false positives and false negatives. As AI generated content gets better they would need to keep spending more money/resources into detection. I don't like AI slop and wish youtube didn't have it. But their copyright detection me”
“Real Creator cater to even more click bait slop content for the visibility AI slop just push the lever harder before they get ban Google reap the benefits by selling more AI slop”
“Well i mean YouTube allows pregnant child ai slop stories and bestiality ai chat ads, what do you even expect from this hell of a site”

“What happened to Airrack man? I liked his content, but then he became a content farm, even promoting gambling to his audience (which likely consists of people under 13) YouTube used to be broadcast yourself, make the world laugh and be positive. Now it's just money-hungry people and MrBeast wannabes”
“Makes sense. More users making more videos needs more hardware. Just imagine if ai generators were free”
“A huge proportion those followers are bots. That is the Internet- bot accounts posting AI content for other bot accounts to engage with. More engagement = more money for platforms so they do nothing.”
“OP, I think found your answer. Apparently they now require you to sign in to watch certain videos that feature minors. This only applies to videos that aren't marked "for kids" but have comments disabled due to minors' faces or voices being present.”
“From my tests it is true. I'm in Malta not the USA, however. So perhaps there's an override there, who knows.”
“He didn't get shadow banned, people just used the "do not recommend" thing falsely to ensure his channel didn't get seen. It's a terrible thing people can do to a content creator.”
