This is just going to be used to allow fascist propaganda, isn't it?

They opened their doors to the goose stepping. Fucking corporate shitheads.

yes, surprising a total of 0 people.

This is such bad news. I'm sympathetic to content creators who have to step on eggshells to please the algorithm/advertisers... But this?

Yeah, this is not that. We all know who this is for.

They really are killin' everything, aren't they...

I assume you mean fascist propaganda over and above the right wing rabbit holes that already exist on YouTube….

Ugh, this is terrible.

Well yes. You obviously still can’t say “le dollar bean” without getting nuked from orbit. YouTube is a goodly Christian corporation after all, can’t have such content.

Videos are allowed if "freedom of expression value may outweigh harm risk"

oh it's that easy huh. why didn't we think of this before lol.

Do people still have to say unalive?

Censorship is goddamn stupid.
They should just tag content & let people decide what to filter.

And still block curse words and specific terms. Fuck this place

"Muh freedums profit" outweighs life. The silent bit spoken aloud. Cool cool.

As expected from this timeline and this garbage conglomerate.

I'm going to start using "inhumed".

Good. I don't really care about youtube, but less censorship is always a good thing.

How can you people say you respect science when you support silencing any criticism of it? That's not science. That's religion.

That said, this criteria clearly only exists to protect "influencers" who make youtube a proportional amount of money. If you have a channel with very little traffic and you say something controversial, you'd better believe your "freedom of expression value" will not be high enough to outweigh the corporation's perceived "harm risk."

Fuck this place

Are you implying you don't use YT at all? Or you use it and choose to be unhappy with it?

Just curious, I often get mad because they need to censor words, but not to the degrees to say 'fuck this place" and move to the other (unborn) alternative.

Can we talk about adblockers, or is that still somehow worse than nazi shit?

Btw they removed a popular Youtuber's "Degoogle Your Life" series lmfao (Linus Tech Tips). But a far-right thinnly-veiled racist video? All a'okay according to Google.

Personally I don't use YouTube the website at all at this point. I'm 100℅ Freetube and yt-dlp/Plex for watching the channels I like.

The alternatives are there. They don't have the volume of course, but they're very much born...

youtube shadowbanning, demonitization and censorship is the most retarded shit that's ever happened to the internet. the whole website is videos and comments of people who cater to kids and commercial advertisers and cant say shit.

Content speak continously erodes my frontal lobe.
