00:02:23.700 notably being the shift to advertiser-friendly content and the enforcement of stricter content

00:02:28.120 guidelines because of these recent changes under Wojcicki Susan has been viewed in a very negative

00:02:32.960 light within the community whoa maybe that's why they disabled dislikes there are many reasons as 0.68

00:02:37.640 hey the soy boys why Susan Wojcicki is ruining YouTube and in order to fully understand the 1.00

00:02:42.980 situation, we have to travel all the way back to February of 2014, when Susan Wojcicki was named

00:02:48.880 the CEO of YouTube. Prior to Susan's promotion to CEO, YouTube was run by Salar Kamengar,

00:02:56.000 one of the first 10 employees of Google back when it was just a startup company. Under Salar,

00:03:00.480 YouTube had a driven approach to online entertainment, and that was to empower

00:03:03.860 creators to not just share the media, but to become it. But it hasn't been until today with

00:03:07.860 youtube that everyday people actually are the media you guys don't just watch news you make

00:03:14.040 news you don't just split through channels and complain there's nothing to watch you create new

00:03:18.100 ones some of which i think are going to become as well known in the future as networks like cnn

00:03:23.520 mtv and espn during his tenure youtubers began establishing themselves as brands that could

00:03:29.340 compete with the viewership of traditional television i used to watch this dude all the 0.97

00:03:32.580 time i cannot believe all the creepy shit that he was accused of i'm not gonna say he did it or not 0.97

00:03:36.160 but he's gone for the platform now so he must be guilty in some sense but looking back bro there 0.99

00:03:40.680 was a lot of creepy shit he was really talking about i think he got away with it because he was 0.98

00:03:45.620 gay with the top creators easily i used to watch this dude all the time too ray william johnson 0.98

00:03:50.340 pulling in millions of views per upload youtube became an attractive platform not just because

00:03:54.500 of the numbers that they were pulling but because of the idea that anyone can do it anyone can become

00:03:59.320 famous so to speak while salar maintained the focus on youtube there was another employee at

00:04:04.260 Google, and her name was Susan Wojcicki. Wojcicki came to Google in the same year as Salar,

00:04:10.580 1999, but her focus within the company was its branch of advertising. You may not be aware,

00:04:16.020 but when it comes to advertising- Oh, that's why everything got friendly. That's why I got

00:04:20.380 two strikes. That's why everybody wants to ban me because the shit that I'm talking about is 0.99

00:04:24.180 not safe for Coca-Cola, but Susan's prioritizing that over real content, but that's great. Great 0.99

00:04:30.880 job great job that's good just milk it out get all the money you can and ban any creativity

00:04:35.680 susan's pretty fucking good at it disregarding the abundance of today's sponsorships youtubers 1.00

00:04:40.820 make money from adsense basically every time you see an ad on a video that factors into adsense 0.94

00:04:46.300 and gets the creator paid but adsense isn't exclusive property to youtube as it's actually

00:04:51.180 a google creation in 2010 alone adsense pulled in 28 billion dollars in revenue and guess who's

00:04:57.600 the driving force behind all of it. Yes, Susan Wojcicki is credited as being the mastermind

00:05:14.740 behind AdSense. She also is credited for being the driving force in Google's purchase of YouTube

00:05:19.840 way back in 2006, which to her credit is an outstanding achievement. So what specifically

00:05:25.820 happened with YouTube that made Susan in charge of Salar. By 2013, YouTube had over 1 million

00:05:35.180 members in the YouTube Partner Program, 30 times that of the previous year. But

00:05:39.500 despite the growth in monetizable content, advertising to pay these creators was failing.

00:05:47.720 There was a lack of advertisers implementing their ads through YouTube's relatively new

00:05:52.440 true view system you know what they need more of advertisers because without more advertisers

00:05:58.600 all those people are going to starve every time you watch a youtube video and there's an

00:06:02.740 advertisement with a little skip button that is their true view and suggested ads are a part of

00:06:07.800 true view as well true view is youtube's primary system for advertiser content that they still use

00:06:13.660 to this day i didn't know back in 2013 not only was true view new but it was somewhat confusing

00:06:19.200 as well. So when advertising was failing, Google had to make a decision. Well, they had such a

00:06:24.380 powerful advertising mogul under their belt, so giving Susan the opportunity to take over in a 1.00

00:06:29.660 desperate situation seemed like the route to take. And it worked. Not only did TrueView get refined,

00:06:36.920 but YouTube became a platform that led in reaching more viewers than television,

00:06:41.440 backed by capitalizing advertisers. This meant that a ton of revenue for the platform corresponded

00:06:46.700 with the large viewership, which was a vast improvement over where Salar had left it.

00:06:51.240 But the issue with Susan is that while yes, she should be applauded as a significant figure in

00:06:55.940 advertising and revenue being as prominent as it is on the platform, the extreme methods that she 0.94

00:07:00.620 has taken in order to maintain these advertisers is wrong and hurting the creators. And who better

00:07:06.240 to explain it than Wojcicki herself.

00:07:32.660 For the past few years, creators have become noticeably frustrated in what seems to be censorship on YouTube.

00:07:38.380 Any media...

00:07:39.100 Look at that, Shai.

00:07:41.500 You see all these yellow marks?

00:07:43.660 I got like 10 videos ready to go.

00:07:46.620 Demonetize, demonetize, demonetize. 0.99

00:07:51.080 The distributor of content like YouTube is not responsible for any of the harmful content that may be posted on the site because of Section 230 of law.

00:07:59.460 We are in the distribution of news companies.

00:08:03.020 Someone can upload a video and say their point of view about what happened with the news.

00:08:07.660 So then why would YouTube be so worried about removing content that they do view as harmful?

00:08:12.340 Because that's protected too.

00:08:13.680 Under the same Section 230, YouTube can act in the faith of a Good Samaritan.

00:08:18.200 So there's a Good Samaritan clause that actually enables us to remove content that is legal under U.S. law.

00:08:27.260 What?

00:08:27.740 What?

00:08:28.740 Samaritan clause that actually enables us to remove content that is legal under U.S.

00:08:33.740 law.

00:08:34.740 Wow.

00:08:35.740 Like mature content, adult content, hate content.

00:08:39.740 Susan gets to decide what hate content is? 0.64

00:08:42.740 That's good.

00:08:43.740 Actually gives us protections for that.

00:08:45.740 Yeah, tell me what's hateful.

00:08:47.740 And remove content that they view as filthy. 0.99

00:08:50.740 Filthy.

00:08:51.740 Excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable.

00:08:57.740 But now content that was completely acceptable just a few years ago at the time of its creation

00:09:02.860 is now being deemed violations of current day rules.

00:09:05.920 So let's look over the most notable videos taken down to these enforcements.

00:09:10.440 TV Filthy Frank, Vomit Cake, Hair Cake, Human Cake. 0.72

00:09:14.560 Filthy Frank's Vomit Cake was taken down on November 7th, 2019,

00:09:18.380 and the sequels were removed nearly a year later.

00:09:20.760 These videos were determined as a violation of YouTube's content guidelines

00:09:24.160 regarding violent or graphic content.

00:09:26.340 with the obvious graphic content being the vomiting and it's it's really funny i don't

00:09:30.080 think about it i don't want to bring up the clip right now but chat you remember we were just

00:09:32.920 reacting to the soy boy who made a 57 minute expose video on me and i paused it for a while

00:09:37.840 when he said yeah and i don't want to debate you because i hate you and those are the people that 0.70

00:09:45.060 are never going to get banned they can say youtube should ban sneeko and youtube was probably like

00:09:50.520 seriously considering it but how is that not considered hate content when a soy boy who despise

00:09:57.100 who watches all my stuff hates me and says in a video i hate you why is that not hateful conduct 0.65

00:10:04.740 what is hateful conduct that i hate you hateful conduct 0.94

00:10:13.820 who decides what hate is where's the consistency bro i just clicked in my head bro 0.96

00:10:22.060 a soy boy a fat soy boy could say i hate you stays up gets all the brand deals puts a brand 0.62

00:10:30.340 deal in the video saying i hate you but it's not considered hateful violent conduct assumption as 0.62

00:10:35.940 a cake now the current day community guidelines clearly state that the showing of bodily fluids

00:10:40.700 like vomit to shock or disgust viewers is against the rules however at the time vomit cake was

00:10:46.460 created it violated none of the guidelines as youtube used to emphasize the importance of

00:10:51.820 context the youtube community guidelines back in 2015 said that if a video is particularly

00:10:57.420 graphic or disturbing it should be balanced with additional context and information and

00:11:01.900 one can make the argument that filthy frank's content for the cake series was not just vomit

00:11:06.140 for shock value but the context of it was comedy there's a difference between uploading a video

00:11:10.620 That's why YouTube isn't funny anymore.

00:11:12.700 That's why you get the most low-energy, poorly-edited, sound-effect-garbage commentary channels.

00:11:20.680 This is toxic behavior.

00:11:23.960 Because real comedy is...

00:11:26.140 Vomiting the whole time versus a produced sketch that incorporates vomit as a part of the story in entertainment.

00:11:32.680 It looks like you have cancer or something, I-Dubs. 0.64

00:11:35.580 Yeah, it's funny.

00:11:38.400 It's funny.

00:11:38.940 each cake video had a type of story going on that used the cake for its intended purpose

00:11:55.680 and that wasn't just the shock value it was for the entertainment of the sketch and the story

00:11:59.900 being told but of course youtube likes to change its guidelines and apply rules that never existed

00:12:04.780 to pass content they just add another bullet point to ban the creator that they don't like

00:12:08.820 Well then, okay, YouTube.

00:12:09.860 So there's this old video of a guy drinking EpiCac,

00:12:12.140 very viral video back in the day,

00:12:13.880 causing him to projectile vomit all over the sidewalk

00:12:16.180 and eventually lick it up on the floor.

00:12:18.020 No age restriction, millions of views, not affected by you.

00:12:20.800 He licked it up off the floor?

00:12:22.700 Remember wild YouTube days, bro?

00:12:24.780 The reactions to the video, like the one by the Fine Brothers,

00:12:27.500 is also available with no issue whatsoever.

00:12:29.820 But what if I told you this same guy went on Jerry Springer

00:12:32.720 and vomited on people in front of crowds to shock them

00:12:35.400 and that those videos are completely available to view?

00:12:37.680 You know, there's a video of him on stage 8 years ago vomiting over some random fans.

00:12:42.260 Disgusting content on YouTube, I guess it only applies to some creators.

00:12:45.880 The slow-mo guys, who are on YouTube's good side by the way, can make a video showing slow-motion vomiting,

00:12:50.700 which is pretty disgusting in my opinion as a viewer.

00:12:53.520 And the tags of the video label it as disgusting and gross.

00:12:56.680 But how does YouTube treat it?

00:12:58.280 Age-restricted.

00:12:59.420 But Filthy Frank?

00:13:00.920 Deleted.

00:13:01.280 Another video with 500,000 views that has a guy eating, vomiting, and eating the vomit is not age-restricted, even with the title stating graphic content, and the tags being disgusting, gross, and vomit.

00:13:12.500 Another video called Banana and Sprite Challenge is literally just people sitting in a circle and vomiting and is still completely available to watch on YouTube, even with the label Vomit Alert.

00:13:22.120 I understand why everything should be allowed on YouTube, everything, but who's watching this, bro?

00:13:31.600 Chat, you watching this?

00:13:32.320 In the title, something isn't adding up here.

00:13:35.000 Content cop Leafy, one of the most viewed commentary videos of all time, was taken down for harassment and bullying.

00:13:41.960 Come on! 1.00

00:13:42.980 Motherfucker! 1.00

00:13:43.840 Goated video! 1.00

00:13:45.600 Yes.

00:13:46.160 Yo, someone put this video on my Discord. 1.00

00:13:47.960 Discord.com slash GG slash Sineco.

00:13:50.500 We need this content back.

00:13:51.860 I want to watch this one more time for the memories.

00:13:53.740 Criticizing LeafyIsHere was taken down for harassment and bullying.

00:13:58.340 For a bit of context, iDubbbz made his content cop on LeafyIsHere,

00:14:01.700 calling out his bad content and making fun of his bullying of other people's appearance.

00:14:05.760 He shouldn't have to bully people looking the way he does.

00:14:09.200 So I decided that I'd raise funds for chin implants.

00:14:13.160 To satirize how Leafy picks on people for their appearance,

00:14:16.360 iDubbbz made fun of Leafy's chin.

00:14:18.200 But apparently YouTube thinks that this is bullying,

00:14:20.600 Even though, once again, these rules were not the same back then, and this video was satirizing

00:14:25.180 the actions of the person he was criticizing.

00:14:31.040 If that logic applies to this video and gets it removed, then why wouldn't the same happen

00:14:35.260 to a channel like Leafy, whose whole career was bullying on vulnerable people, including

00:14:39.920 kids too.

00:14:40.800 You know, minors.

00:14:41.740 Minors, the huge importance of protection on YouTube right now.

00:14:44.700 All of Leafy's videos making fun of the appearance of kids are still readily available on YouTube.

00:14:49.620 no they're not are they

00:14:51.020 but for some reason

00:14:53.420 YouTube took down

00:14:54.280 this is from 2020 though

00:14:55.680 on the one video

00:14:58.100 that was satirizing the content

00:14:59.600 that was considered problematic

00:15:01.200 at the time of this recording

00:15:02.580 Leafy's channel actually got terminated

00:15:04.420 say what you will about Leafy

00:15:05.800 I personally

00:15:06.520 if you know my channel

00:15:07.640 I don't like Leafy

00:15:08.680 but I still think it's

00:15:10.160 Leafy's funny though

00:15:11.080 like

00:15:11.300 you gotta admit

00:15:12.780 that was a wild time of YouTube

00:15:14.380 I was tuning in

00:15:15.280 I enjoyed that content

00:15:16.200 termination is setting a bad precedent

00:15:17.900 for YouTube going forward

00:15:19.260 i'll explain why the reason why i thought leafy got terminated was because of spam and clickbait

00:15:24.760 because he has a history of doing that and his recent you get banned for clickbait man oh yeah

00:15:29.600 just because he was roasting social media's golden girl the untouchable pokemon pokemon videos only

00:15:35.320 like three of them actually talked about pokemon the rest were about like some random topic so why

00:15:39.820 does that matter but from what it looks like leafy got terminated for harassment and bullying and

00:15:44.460 i'm assuming it's from these recent pokemon videos the thing about leafy's videos regarding

00:15:48.880 pokimane those videos were criticism he did poke fun at her appearance but the worst thing he said

00:15:54.220 was pokimane isn't even attractive harassment there's really no other way of saying it she's 1.00

00:16:02.360 just not hot dude that's not she's just not hot dude dude i mean you you would though come on

00:16:08.020 leafy why are you lying you're just a good looking girl man you're a good looking girl

00:16:12.840 Come on Pokeman

00:16:14.980 Let me poke you man

00:16:18.160 I wanna 0.93

00:16:20.740 Poke your mane

00:16:21.760 Look at Leafy though bro

00:16:24.700 You really ain't got no chin 0.99

00:16:25.620 The way this situation is fucked 0.99

00:16:26.800 Because I'm against both ideas 0.95

00:16:28.240 One of them being that

00:16:29.320 He was harassing Pokeman

00:16:30.780 Which is not true

00:16:31.820 I don't think he was harassing Pokeman

00:16:34.060 He was criticizing

00:16:34.880 You got a funny looking eyebrow bro

00:16:39.880 You have Filipino right

00:16:41.380 yo leafy come on my stream chat w's right now if you want to see leafy on my stream we gotta talk

00:16:46.080 man for actions that she has apologized for and two leafy did actually break these guidelines for

00:16:51.680 years on end the youtube guidelines on bullying back in 2016 were still against how leafy went

00:16:57.600 about making his videos where it was like the lowest form of just look at all the w's leafy

00:17:02.220 leafy let's talk you banned off everything right look at somebody trying to platform you somebody

00:17:08.600 you were one of the goats on youtube i love your content i'm a big fan let's talk let's talk you'd

00:17:15.660 be a great guest on my panels let's bring leafy back you see the chat right now my chat wants you

00:17:21.380 back on someone because they were ugly or something like that so while yes it is accurate 1.00

00:17:26.340 that they're terminating him for breaking rules for so many years the problem is that this precedent

00:17:31.780 is going to be applied to other creators going forward who are clearly satiric like i'm afraid

00:17:36.380 Idubs is going to get taken down for bullying Tana Mongeau, Ricegum, and all those people.

00:17:41.120 It's a very scary time right now.

00:17:42.980 Psychic Pebbles, Fine Bros React. 0.74

00:17:45.340 This animation was legitimate satire used to criticize the ridiculous lengths the Fine Bros go to make reactions.

00:17:51.940 Wait, they got banned too? Psychic Pebbles, one of my favorite channels, bro.

00:17:55.400 That was the OG me canyon.

00:17:57.060 I remember this video. I've seen this video a billion times, bro.

00:18:01.300 Yo, WPsychicPebbles, man. How many of the OG YouTube people are here?

00:18:05.060 the ridiculous lengths the fine bros go to make reactions out of everything.

00:18:10.340 We've done kids react, teens react, elders react, youtubers react,

00:18:14.980 cause survivors react, syndromers react, babies react, and child mo-

00:18:19.700 react. What else can we do? We need more ideas. We need more ideas!

00:18:25.780 I've seen that video at least a thousand times, man.

00:18:28.260 ...came at a time where the fine bros were capitalizing on tragedies like school

00:18:31.540 and s***. Psychic Publish's video

00:18:34.160 was not a threat or intimidation.

00:18:35.780 Yeah, I know. Okay, Mario says, Sneakle, you literally have a video

00:18:37.860 from like six years ago saying Leafy's content

00:18:39.800 is what's wrong with YouTube, lol. Yeah, I do.

00:18:42.920 He was doing it.

00:18:43.760 He was repetitive, bro, but I enjoyed his stuff.

00:18:46.040 And there were pros and cons. A lot of the times,

00:18:48.120 man, when you're a YouTuber coming up six years

00:18:49.960 ago, you need to have a hot take about

00:18:51.960 another YouTuber. You see the same thing with me.

00:18:54.240 My biggest fans are making

00:18:55.960 hate videos on me. The difference is

00:18:57.860 they're like 25, so it's like,

00:18:59.860 Okay, you got to grow up six years ago. I'm gonna give myself an excuse. I'm gonna give myself an excuse

00:19:04.860 I said leave these guys. That's what you do to try to blow up. You hate talk

00:19:09.940 The poppin youtuber, but I was a fan. I was a big leafy fan. No cap

00:19:15.400 Medation to bully it was actually the textbook definition of satire satire does not equate to bullying or harassment like YouTube

00:19:22.740 Things the point of satire is to poke fun at something with an underlying intention

00:19:27.420 Psychic Pebbles' satiric intention was very clear, to criticize the Fine Bros for trying

00:19:32.180 to profit off of relevant tragedies and milking out the react genre.

00:19:35.860 This video was age-restricted for years, until it was unfairly taken down on December 11th,

00:19:41.020 2019, and it was not harassment or bullying by any stretch.

00:19:45.060 Gokunaru, the death of H3H3 Productions.

00:19:48.440 Gokunaru's nearly two-hour criticism of H3H3 Productions was not- 0.94

00:19:55.040 I would even consider the OG H3H3, and you can even clip this up and send it to him too, put it in his fucking subreddit.

00:20:01.940 The OG H3H3 was some of the goaded YouTube content too.

00:20:05.460 That 2014 to 2016 era, before he became L3L3 with a terrible podcast, lying every single day, saying stuff that the cancel woke mob wants him to say. 0.93

00:20:19.340 h3h3 used to be to not give a fuck edgy chaotic all that what they call toxic humor but he sold 0.98

00:20:30.960 out he sold out i would put h3h3 in that category that's why he switched up everybody else got 0.99

00:20:37.880 banned leafy got banned i dubs got banned filthy frank became joji so h3h3 adapted he was in that 0.99

00:20:45.000 category and sold out became a woke twitter social justice blue-haired warrior and we missed the old

00:20:53.560 h3 ma harassment or bullying it was a well-constructed video that pretty clearly

00:21:01.680 criticized the actions of ethan klein only because i'm afraid he's going to try to kill somebody

00:21:05.640 but i also don't trust him with the address i think he would like post it on twitter immediately

00:21:09.420 so thank you even here like how long ago was this have you ever heard him speak this clearly

00:21:14.460 it's just like every year he slowly gets slower his eyes get a little wider more vacant and vapid

00:21:21.100 he gets a little fatter and slouches down on his chair a little more even the way he's speaking

00:21:26.000 here is 10 times more eloquent than what he is now ethan declined in the chat but i also don't

00:21:31.140 trust him with the address i think he would like post it on twitter immediately i was last time

00:21:34.840 you've heard him even say a sentence that clear so thank you ethan for putting an alcoholic on

00:21:40.120 blast sending him on an emotional roller coaster you're you're doing the lord's work man papa 0.99

00:21:46.480 papa bless this wasn't like the papa bless what the fuck bro i remember all these memes mo put 1.00

00:21:52.180 that in the fucking h3 subreddit all he got is fucking overweight lesbians watching this shit 1.00

00:21:56.540 now yo h3 subreddit you remember vape nation papa bless oh god he had some great memes back in the 1.00

00:22:04.500 day items video it was a cut and dry analysis on the wrongdoings of h3h3 but after its

00:22:09.980 initial takedown, more information came out stating that it was against the simulated violence

00:22:14.260 policy on YouTube. In principle, this is an accurate enforcement. The video did go against

00:22:19.300 violence guidelines on YouTube because of its implications that he would murder H3H3. Yet, 0.96

00:22:24.320 there are videos of legitimate murder that are available to watch on YouTube, and these videos

00:22:30.460 can be found on the LiveLeak channel. These are channels that show actual violence, not implied

00:22:35.220 like goku noru actual violence and it's like comedy is the biggest threat to susan they get

00:22:41.520 the respect to at least be age-restricted and not nuked entirely without reason so when youtube says

00:22:47.000 that they enables us to remove content that is legal under u.s law like mature content adult

00:22:52.700 content hate content clearly what they consider no you leave hate content up susan i know you

00:22:58.020 watching this every single day there's a hate video posted about me susan every single day

00:23:05.180 they say this is hate content i hate sneeko ban sneeko i hate him why is that not hate content 0.73

00:23:14.860 or hateful or harmful is subjective and it's this inconsistent enforcement that is killing

00:23:22.420 a large genre of content on this site we're a site where we give everybody a voice but that is false

00:23:29.460 when you actively remove content that actually doesn't violate your policy yet show favoritism

00:23:34.740 to others that is not giving everyone a voice youtube this seems like it was a targeted removal

00:23:40.740 of content from creators you do not like you cannot apply these actions and delete history

00:23:45.620 from the site why are you trying to police internet history when the standards you hold now

00:23:49.620 don't add up to what they were before the point of youtube content change is to show growth

00:23:53.860 and deletion is blatant censorship like a lot of those old videos on that main channel were like

00:23:58.580 this isn't what we accept for guidelines now even though it was posted fucking five years ago yeah 0.92

00:24:04.960 like we're going to remove it or we're going to do this to it blah blah blah and that started

00:24:08.700 happening like all across the board and a lot of the time it's not about uh making money off it's

00:24:13.700 more about the visibility and if you're going to get views off something like that yeah yeah you're

00:24:18.140 making it in like a closed room for certain specific people that are going to see it.

00:24:23.500 How can we trust that the content we are making right now will hold up to the guidelines in five

00:24:27.740 years, when as we've seen the guidelines are inconsistently enforced and constantly changing?

00:24:32.460 Is a Cody Ko video roasting religious people going to be deemed as hate speech in five years?

00:24:36.700 No, because YouTube's golden boys.

00:24:40.220 Well, YouTube will decide that.

00:24:41.980 So then why is YouTube prioritizing celebrities over YouTube?

00:25:03.660 MatPat of The Game Theorists had a chance to interview Susan on creator issues affecting

00:25:07.560 the community.

00:25:11.980 But one interesting point that MatPat brought up was that celebrities seem to get preferential

00:25:21.920 treatment by YouTube.

00:25:23.580 The verification button doesn't exist for creators, but does exist for celebrities.

00:25:27.780 You know, there's all these massive changes.

00:25:30.100 It exists for everybody in the same way.

00:25:32.660 Cap! 0.95

00:25:33.660 Okay.

00:25:34.660 Okay.

00:25:35.660 Stop the cap! 0.99

00:25:36.660 According to YouTube, the verification check mark is not available for people until they

00:25:40.320 reach 100k subscribers have authentication of their channel and an active channel at that this

00:25:46.180 was actually a change that was announced in september of 2019 and many creators who didn't

00:25:51.000 fall into the new standards lost verification if they had had it did like i think and i don't know

00:25:57.080 why they did this there's been a lot of backlash from creators and the criteria is kind of vague

00:26:01.600 it's like in order to get verified you need to have built a large audience and community on

00:26:05.660 YouTube. What does that mean? Like a big audience? How big? It's just kind of weird. I don't know.

00:26:11.040 It's another string of stuff that people hate, I guess, that YouTube's doing. Once again, YouTube

00:26:15.040 enforced new rules that hurt those who followed them prior. If like, uh, Billie Elish comes onto 1.00

00:26:20.940 the platform without 100,000 subscribers, she's not going to get a check mark until she gets 100,000

00:26:24.900 subscribers. Yeah, I mean, yeah, is that true? Um, we'll have to, let me have to look.

00:26:35.660 Hey, Matpats, I'm grilling her. 1.00

00:26:38.720 But I think, I think, let's like talk about a politician, right?

00:26:44.220 Because we have politicians who are coming on our platform, okay?

00:26:47.520 So election integrity is something that we're working incredibly hard on.

00:26:51.220 Yeah, just dodge the question.

00:26:52.220 So you have a politician who comes on.

00:26:53.880 You don't want to have, we have to be able to give them a checkmark.

00:26:57.260 Wrong.

00:26:57.440 Wow, Susan.

00:26:58.500 You really just dodged the question there.

00:27:02.280 So let me, let's talk about something else completely.

00:27:05.240 Yes, it is true that a politician would need some type of verification because they can easily be misrepresented by opposing parties

00:27:12.100 But Billie Eilish is not a politician and she would definitely get verified long before that hundred 0.98

00:27:17.700 Yeah, how the fuck do you compare Hillary Clinton to Billie Eilish, bro? 0.96

00:27:22.420 Here's why 0.99

00:27:23.180 Take a look at Brie Larson, a celebrity who recently made the shift to YouTube

00:27:27.600 By posting her first upload on July 2nd

00:27:33.520 so i did a thing this is a girls when they get a haircut so i did a thing guys um

00:27:45.020 i was a little bad don't hate me but i did a thing 2020 as of now she's verified and has over

00:27:52.780 300 000 subscribers but she got verified a lot earlier than you think with the use of the way

00:27:58.760 archive, I found that at just 102 subscribers, Brie Larson was verified on YouTube with her

00:28:13.220 first and only video at the time. Now, she doesn't fit the 100k requirement, which means that she 0.96

00:28:18.520 shouldn't have been able to apply for verification. And even... Yeah, but she's just... Hollywood's 1.00

00:28:24.760 Poster, I'm so glad her self-esteem is she still this 0.99

00:28:29.080 Happy all the time not that happiness is bad 0.99

00:28:31.560 But is she this high off of the fucking fame or has people fucking humbled her has she been humbled yet? 0.98

00:28:38.200 Even if she was able to she got Captain Marvel and like yeah, I'm not I'm Hollywood's good girl, and everyone's like okay 1.00

00:28:45.040 Shut the fuck up shut up shut up shut up shut up. I doubt any creator with just one video 0.99

00:28:52.060 Kelly stamps and what?

00:28:54.760 Bro, I've never been invited to one of these things, man.

00:28:58.540 Never.

00:29:01.220 She follows me on the gram, though, Kelly Stamps.

00:29:03.900 Bro, I have never been invited to VidCon.

00:29:07.340 All these creators that I know in New York

00:29:08.980 were just got invited to the Sony event.

00:29:11.300 Didn't email me.

00:29:12.300 I don't get a brand deal talking to me at all.

00:29:15.960 Not once has YouTube contacted me

00:29:17.640 to be on a minority people of color event.

00:29:20.740 They want these.

00:29:21.600 I know her videos, bro.

00:29:23.380 and you see those like cute little girl videos

00:29:25.500 with a spatula

00:29:26.160 it's simple stuff it's like I'm a girl

00:29:29.720 and walking around

00:29:30.660 nothing

00:29:32.260 controversial just safe

00:29:35.080 content that gets the highest 0.99

00:29:37.380 CPM she makes fucking 1.00

00:29:39.340 bank off of 1.00

00:29:41.420 30,000 views a video bank

00:29:43.160 that's what they want non-problematic

00:29:45.980 simple content

00:29:47.280 and she should say the same thing it's simple stuff

00:29:49.560 a lot

00:29:51.580 of these girls I'm gonna be honest bro

00:29:53.240 behind the scenes

00:29:55.300 and not her specifically

00:29:57.360 a lot of these girls behind the scenes 0.99

00:29:59.380 they know the game 1.00

00:30:00.480 they can't say their real beliefs about shit 1.00

00:30:03.140 they won't talk about who they voted for 0.99

00:30:05.380 they won't talk about feminism

00:30:07.100 even though they think and know the truth

00:30:09.640 they go la la la la la la la la la

00:30:12.420 so they get these interviews

00:30:14.320 and they get the bag

00:30:15.740 would get verified

00:30:18.400 it exists for everybody in the same way

00:30:20.840 so YouTube is flat out lying

00:30:22.540 This policy does enforce preferential treatment, because as we just saw, someone who has the

00:30:28.820 resources of being a Hollywood celebrity can just come to YouTube and have the policy favor

00:30:33.520 them over an actual creator. Same thing goes for Matisse Theibel, an NBA player who just recently

00:30:39.000 got verified under 100,000 subscribers. But then I came across a particular channel by the name of

00:30:46.080 Taylor Stevens. Now, Taylor Stevens is not a celebrity by any means. I couldn't find him

00:30:50.720 anywhere besides youtube however he also has a verification check mark right next to his name

00:30:55.480 i know 6 000 subscribers i know someone with 2 000 subscribers who has a verified check now i was

00:31:01.120 curious on whether he got his verification before the guidelines had changed and youtube once again

00:31:07.080 exposed itself through the archives i found that taylor's channel while experiencing a sub growth

00:31:12.660 had not been verified as late as february of 2020 meaning the verification he currently has would not

00:31:19.160 make sense because it does not meet the current guidelines and he was not verified prior to them

00:31:23.960 being enforced but do you know why he experienced this sudden jump in subscribers yeah chad if uh

00:31:29.480 nowadays if you if you know the right people you can get verified it's not really youtube

00:31:32.720 verification is very easy compared to all the other platforms turns out if you look in his about

00:31:36.560 page he's an editor let me chat i have what three and a can the gram still not verified i apply for

00:31:42.320 like once a week or something like that but if you're not uh oh i got an ep coming out if you

00:31:47.200 don't play for the wisconsin wolves you're not gonna get verified or if you're not a safe non

00:31:53.240 problematic youtuber you're not gonna get it even though i'm lapping a lot of these people my

00:31:57.860 engagement's higher than most of these people but they're never gonna verify me on the ground bro

00:32:02.080 for jablinski games

00:32:03.580 jack black's youtube channel jack black did not channel box taylor until what seems to be late

00:32:12.360 2019 and because of this taylor began to get a sub boost from being featured as he accumulated more

00:32:18.520 subscribers youtube decided to verify him even though he did not meet the guidelines every other

00:32:24.440 creator has to follow once again showing that they not only lied it exists for everybody in the same

00:32:30.280 way but are giving preferential treatment to creators who are connected with celebrities

00:32:35.560 some general examples of unfair treatment and double standards on youtube is in a situation

00:32:39.880 like rocka rocka the channel known for their violent high produced and edited short films

00:32:44.360 that are treated to being demonetized and removed from the search engine have a look at this this

00:32:48.600 is our page we do skits and look how much has yellow and red 70 80 of the videos our videos

00:32:54.280 if you see the original skits they take months to make we literally put blood sweat and tears

00:32:59.320 into the videos but when big budget youtube tv does the exact same thing the policies don't

00:33:03.960 apply anymore this show breaks basically they don't support creators every single rule that

00:33:09.620 youtube gave us everything that youtube told us personally was wrong about they act like it's all

00:33:14.120 it's for the creator by the creator we support you yes but only libs non-problematic people

00:33:21.480 celebrities industry people one more time chat w800k just hit 800k yesterday on my second

00:33:30.160 channel good my documentary just came out on my main channel it's killing it right now i have

00:33:35.000 never been on trending to this i'm gonna keep talking about it everybody i know with the same

00:33:39.540 amount of subscribers with uh way less views have all been on trending all of them people who have

00:33:45.780 posted the same panel that i made have re-uploaded the video and went on trending never never nine 0.93

00:34:10.140 they have a certain type of creator that they want to promote maybe they have favorites maybe 0.99

00:34:14.100 they're picking shoes maybe they don't want me on the platform maybe they actually do want to ban me

00:34:17.900 maybe they want to find something to say it's misinformation and give me another strike

00:34:21.180 videos is in this show you've forbidden us from making mature content and then fund an entire

00:34:27.840 multi-million dollar show making that sort of content i'm not hating on the wayne show i think

00:34:31.700 it's an awesome show i just don't understand how youtube can make that show after the rules that

00:34:35.820 they've applied to everyone else we have a video completely restricted and hidden because someone

00:34:39.700 bites off someone's nose in this first episode which anyone can watch he bites off someone's

00:34:44.880 nose what they're gonna say is it's context it's all in context that's what youtube tells us it's

00:34:49.540 in context it's gonna be for a narrative believe it or not our videos have narrative as well

00:34:53.560 there's a video of juice world and susan wojewski talking about manipulating promotion and getting 0.81

00:35:29.580 ceo treatment of videos with nudity and sexual content are not consistent at all i understand

00:35:45.620 used to be able to see titties on the tube there used to be a subreddit too like youtube titties 0.97

00:36:00.760 And then when you found a titty on the YouTube, you'd be like whoa

00:36:04.220 I've been gathered people around grandma come titties in the tube 0.98

00:36:08.540 Nothing anymore just live leaks and not for sexual gratification is allowed, but there are rule breakers 0.95

00:36:14.220 Breastfeeding channels like Tashamama have promoted links to sexual content and pornography in their descriptions under the guise of their videos being education.

00:36:37.420 And that channel, while being suspended at one point, has been back on YouTube with none of their original videos being deleted.

00:36:43.720 Creator like Belle Delphine making sexually provocative content and using YouTube to promote borderline porn content on her OnlyFans is only age-restricted and not removed from the platform.

00:38:48.340 Bad.

00:38:49.340 Bad.

00:38:50.340 Bad.

00:38:51.340 How many was that, chat?

00:38:55.340 Of course, other creators don't even get the privilege of an age restriction.

00:39:10.320 Both of these instances are against community guidelines when it comes to promoting links

00:39:14.200 to sexual content.

00:39:15.440 This type of content should not be allowed, according to YouTube.

00:39:18.180 And then a music video like Cardi B's WAP that is fully sexual content, not for the

00:39:22.800 purpose of education is both monetized and not age-restricted because it is

00:39:27.080 considered art.

00:39:28.520 Demons!

00:39:29.120 If we can differentiate corporations with the context of art, why can't we do the

00:39:33.640 same for creators?

00:39:48.340 Demonetization.

00:39:49.140 It's a YouTube rant and I haven't even discussed that yet.

00:39:51.680 Every YouTuber has thrown the word demonetized.

00:39:54.680 This is what it is, chat.

00:39:56.860 You want to see demonetized? 0.99

00:39:58.520 Look at all these videos ready to go.

00:40:00.200 You see that yellow?

00:40:02.440 Look at all.

00:40:03.000 Look at all.

00:40:03.540 Even at the top, CEO of YouTube has a bias.

00:40:07.260 They're going to keep that in demonetized hell. 1.00

00:40:10.940 Here, chat, demonetized.

00:40:16.380 Demonetized.

00:40:17.440 Whoa! 0.71

00:40:21.200 Whoa.

00:40:21.680 demonitized or demonetization around at some point on youtube the ability to profit off of

00:40:35.860 your content is literally just based on an icon if it's green then you've survived to those who

00:40:41.300 haven't it's back to the drawing board but reflecting on what you did in order to get

00:40:45.440 demonetized would be easier if we were actually given an explanation on how it actually works

00:40:50.720 But the problem is that the information we creators get isn't in line with the reality

00:41:19.120 of the situation.

00:41:20.120 sure youtube does tell you that if you don't do anything like this then money is all yours

00:41:24.520 while youtube classifies us as either monetizable or demonetized advertisers are treated a bit

00:41:30.200 differently if you're running an ad campaign and you want to limit your ad to play on videos that

00:41:34.360 are rated g or t or m you can simply click a tab that well abracadabra if you still had any doubt

00:41:42.920 there's your video rates this tool would not work and it would not be structured this way

00:41:47.160 if videos were not being rated internally this is some good information for creators to know

00:41:52.280 because it specifies the type of content that you are making and how youtube categorizes your videos

00:41:57.400 but youtubers have no access to this information you can make slightly vulgar content that is not

00:42:02.840 complete insanity but youtube can classify you as mature and you would have no way of finding out

00:42:08.440 why can't you put tv ma on our content why can't it be youtube ma or youtube 15. three quarters of

00:42:13.960 of the videos that use age restrict to 18 plus is suitable for 13 plus but wop wop is trending

00:42:21.540 how many views does wop have wops art wop is art according to a recent study by sprout social

00:42:29.620 users who are ages 13 to 17 make up 85 percent of the viewers and 18 to 29 make up 91 percent

00:42:37.340 that means that a large majority of the content doesn't have to be catered to family friendly

00:42:42.440 content above all there's a kids app for that so if you have a rating system enforce it properly

00:42:48.760 that would make the quality of the content not degrade the advertisers get to place their ads

00:42:53.800 on content that fits their demographic and youtubers can profit off of content that fits

00:42:58.840 their listed demographic when you spend so much time sometimes money creating content and uploading

00:43:04.520 it there isn't a specific reason as to why it was demonetized and when you file a review if it

00:43:09.880 doesn't meet standards you get a generic response with no explanation and if it does you're not

00:43:14.600 told why it was flagged in the first place we act on behalf of our advertisers if you don't

00:43:19.960 make us we act on behalf of our advertisers good job susan demon the time you don't matter 0.55

00:43:30.840 we care about creators creators are the heart of youtube stop the cap

00:43:39.880 that's a really good video shown you through this documentary youtube is message it doesn't

00:43:44.080 lie with their actions they've blatantly violated their own policies while giving everyone the

00:43:48.380 illusion of an equal platform so where do we go from here because i wouldn't have made this video

00:43:52.760 without proposing ideas that could maybe steer the platform in the right direction that i want

00:43:57.680 youtube to hear be more honest with your policies regarding content that is monetized you have the

00:44:02.580 rating system that advertisers can use give the people who make the content the ability to know

00:44:07.320 where they stand within the system. The mainstream media has always had a hatred towards YouTube

00:44:12.020 because they never understood the platform. When it started, they didn't take us seriously. When

00:44:16.600 it became bigger than any media outlet, they envied us. The mainstream media will do whatever

00:44:21.440 it takes to tarnish the reputation of YouTube. YouTube has to realize that when they determine

00:44:26.160 these media outlets as authoritative content, they give power to them to censor the platform.

00:44:30.820 Just because these are huge names, the reputation of the media is not always consistent as they

00:44:35.840 sensationalize news and manipulate the facts in order to steer an agenda and they've done the

00:44:40.100 same to youtube by sensationalizing it as a home for hateful and violent content they're trying

00:44:45.180 trying to curb harmful speech on their site cat hateful speech youtube has to grow a pair of

00:44:52.240 no they're not they're not trying to create hate speech every day there's another hater

00:44:57.320 it's making hate speech literally i hate sneeko i hate sneeko that's hate speech 0.96

00:45:02.780 that the media does not give a shit about youtube as a platform and if there's hateful 0.98

00:45:09.380 or violent content they only care to tarnish the name of youtube because it threatens their 0.86

00:45:13.600 reach as a media distributor youtube is the biggest distributor of content on the internet

00:45:18.000 and the media is threatened by that but from what we've seen mass online outrage is temporary 0.91

00:45:23.020 advertisers don't give a shit where they post their products on it's only when people get mad

00:45:27.220 and call them out on it they have to boycott temporarily but these boycotts don't last they 0.97

00:45:31.600 always wind up coming back because the dollar is what matters at the end of the day susan i'm not

00:45:36.220 calling for you to be fired okay i don't think firing someone's gonna change youtube yeah but

00:45:41.420 you think ban and the creators are gonna have made youtube as profitable as it has ever been

00:45:46.260 you've avoided many adpocalypses from getting out of hand but i'm saying that you cannot deny that

00:45:51.060 the way you've been treating the platform to succumb to the false pressure of political correctness

00:45:55.500 youtube is no longer for everyone with so many unwritten rules lack of communication and content

00:46:00.800 being deemed inappropriate from different eras, lies of favoritism and hypocritical practices.

00:46:06.080 YouTube has to be honest with us. This is YouTube. Not all creators welcome.
