00:00:07.320 August 11th, 2020. Filthy Frank's cake trilogy, one of the last remnants of what many consider
00:00:14.180 the golden era of YouTube, was wiped entirely from the platform.

00:00:36.940 Crying about me every day

00:00:39.480 To the people that don't know
00:00:41.600 They don't want you to laugh anymore man
00:00:43.560 They don't want you to see real comedy
00:00:45.060 They said it's problematic and toxic
00:00:46.740 It's brainwashing bro
00:00:47.820 That's why all of YouTube sucks now
00:00:50.080 It's the same type of people
00:00:51.400 It's the same bullshit
00:00:52.780 You gotta throw a million dollars at a homeless guy
00:00:55.140 shoving horby up your ass this was this was old youtube personality based satire characters filthy
00:01:02.320 frank was goated bro be frank better known as joji these days was the home of edgy and absurd
00:01:07.880 comedy on youtube at the peak of his popularity frank was making videos baking vomit cakes
00:01:12.500 getting ass tattoos and granting make-a-wishes for young disables but now with frank receiving
00:01:18.300 two community guideline strikes within a 90-day period the termination of this channel may be
00:01:23.180 way closer than we think and there's one entity in the middle waiting to pull the trigger you also
00:01:29.260 have to not be a you're hiding your putrid malformed chin youtube has updated their
00:01:34.060 policies to prevent creator-on-creator harassment they're making a statement here it wasn't even
00:01:39.100 age-restricted it was straight up removed from the platform we care about creators creators are
00:01:42.940 the heart of youtube susan wajiski is the ceo of youtube and she has been in that position since
00:01:49.020 2014 and within that time you know wl on susan how you rate her as a ceo frame of 2014 to now
00:01:56.320 youtube has gone through many many changes i personally love her i personally love when i
00:02:02.160 said losing i meant that i was losing my respect for myself because i keep on disrespecting susan

00:02:18.000 doing a great job nothing but utmost respect for how you're running it keep it up keep it up it's
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
00:02:37.640 hey the soy boys why Susan Wojcicki is ruining YouTube and in order to fully understand the
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
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
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
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
00:03:45.620 gay with the top creators easily i used to watch this dude all the time too ray william johnson
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
00:04:24.180 not safe for Coca-Cola, but Susan's prioritizing that over real content, but that's great. Great
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
00:04:40.820 make money from adsense basically every time you see an ad on a video that factors into adsense
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
00:10:04.740 what is hateful conduct that i hate you hateful conduct
00:10:13.820 who decides what hate is where's the consistency bro i just clicked in my head bro
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
00:10:30.340 deal in the video saying i hate you but it's not considered hateful violent conduct assumption as
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.
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!
00:13:42.980 Motherfucker!
00:13:43.840 Goated video!
00:13:45.600 Yes.
00:13:46.160 Yo, someone put this video on my Discord.
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
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
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
00:16:25.620 The way this situation is fucked
00:16:26.800 Because I'm against both ideas
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
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.
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-
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.
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
00:20:30.960 out he sold out i would put h3h3 in that category that's why he switched up everybody else got
00:20:37.880 banned leafy got banned i dubs got banned filthy frank became joji so h3h3 adapted he was in that
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
00:21:46.480 papa bless this wasn't like the papa bless what the fuck bro i remember all these memes mo put
00:21:52.180 that in the fucking h3 subreddit all he got is fucking overweight lesbians watching this shit
00:21:56.540 now yo h3 subreddit you remember vape nation papa bless oh god he had some great memes back in the
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,
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
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
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!
00:25:33.660 Okay.
00:25:34.660 Okay.
00:25:35.660 Stop the cap!
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
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.
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
00:27:17.700 Yeah, how the fuck do you compare Hillary Clinton to Billie Eilish, bro?
00:27:22.420 Here's why
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
00:28:18.520 shouldn't have been able to apply for verification. And even... Yeah, but she's just... Hollywood's
00:28:24.760 Poster, I'm so glad her self-esteem is she still this
00:28:29.080 Happy all the time not that happiness is bad
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?
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
00:28:45.040 Shut the fuck up shut up shut up shut up shut up. I doubt any creator with just one video
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
00:29:37.380 CPM she makes fucking
00:29:39.340 bank off of
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
00:29:59.380 they know the game
00:30:00.480 they can't say their real beliefs about shit
00:30:03.140 they won't talk about who they voted for
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
00:33:52.740 years on my main channel not one of my videos bro my shit like me getting pumping views and
00:33:59.880 not even 48 on trending give me 96 on trending soon susan just one time so i can just see it
00:34:05.700 get a screenshot i can shut up why the fuck you think i'd never get put on trending maybe because
00:34:10.140 they have a certain type of creator that they want to promote maybe they have favorites maybe
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
00:34:57.820 him more viewership rp juice how the fuck juice get to talk to her but she don't even talk to
00:35:08.000 real youtubers mom we gotta get your subscribers way up we're gonna make it happen oh yeah you're
00:35:21.620 gonna make it happen oh so you favor celebrities and artists you're gonna make it happen i'm the
00:35:29.580 ceo treatment of videos with nudity and sexual content are not consistent at all i understand
00:35:40.720 that content involving nudity or sexuality for educational purpose yeah you remember when you
00:35:45.620 used to be able to see titties on the tube there used to be a subreddit too like youtube titties
00:35:49.900 I don't know if it's still up damn YouTube used to be a wild place
00:35:54.440 You could watch a movie in 12 parts with Chinese subtitles and it was reverse part seven spider-man 3
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
00:36:08.540 Nothing anymore just live leaks and not for sexual gratification is allowed, but there are rule breakers
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.
00:37:13.720 that's bad oh no it's gone it's gone it's gone wait no it's not okay let me oh chat chat chat

00:38:41.340 Demon.
00:38:42.340 Demon.
00:38:43.340 Demon.
00:38:44.340 Devil.
00:38:45.340 Prayer.
00:38:46.340 Bad.
00:38:47.340 Bad.
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?
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.
00:40:10.940 Here, chat, demonetized.
00:40:16.380 Demonetized.
00:40:17.440 Whoa!
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
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
00:45:02.780 that the media does not give a shit about youtube as a platform and if there's hateful
00:45:09.380 or violent content they only care to tarnish the name of youtube because it threatens their
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
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
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.
