"YouTube Is Restricting My Content" | Asmongold Reacts

[@HenriqueDiogoHD]

I was a KZbin content mod for almost 2 years, a majority of moderators work for outsourcing companies and have less than a year experience. The first thing they tell you during training is policy is always changing. The fact is there is so many young inexperienced people making the important decisions, and most BPO find a way to cheat quality control so alot of the work is done carelessly and only the control videos get attention.

[@yourfriendoverseas5810]

So it's the modern version of callcenters, except they control people's life income, as well as a primary source of information.

[@Ilidan9]

@@yourfriendoverseas5810 Its normal practice for every big company to outsource its support, at a certain point you can't handle the amount of customers you have. You just keep the the senior support stuff on your side. Not sure how youtube does it but maybe they should offer a Premium support hotline that creators can pay into (sounds awful but its also normal), instead of having to twitter KZbin and causing an outrage to get what you want.

[@ifeelbetterabouthis.louis3]

@@Ilidan9 outsourcing for a growing corporation is no excuse to skip out on quality and customer satisfaction, I'm sure you know that already but just in case it slipped through your mind.

[@Ilidan9]

​@@ifeelbetterabouthis.louis3 Oh im totally aware of that. Just pointing it out thats the practice and trend of all big companies. Thats why big companies introduce special business hotlines that cost's to avoid pissing off big Customers. Not sure how youtube would tackle that but people ain't gonna buy a support premium for 500-1k a month or some price it based on their product usage/revenue. Either way, youtube has to establishe a better communication with their support. They save to much on this, especially for big content creator's it seems unacceptable.

The commenter in the stream was right, though, that it largely does come down to religion. It doesn't matter whether or not specific words, or profanity in general, are prohibited in the Bible.

I think a major part of all of these problems is just bad employees. Asmon probably has had overwhelmingly possitive interactions with youtube because he rolled the dice and got a competent person from youtube handling his issues that was able to properly identify and solve them.

I've had these issues myself with internet providers, phone providers, etc. Just makes a massive difference who you speak to on the other end.

[@LAKD]

KZbin is purposely vague, so they can inconsistently apply their rules to their liking. They know they have a monopoly in this market, they can pretty much do what they want because most people just complain, but will stay watch KZbin.

[@TriFekt]

So the reason it's the first 7-15 seconds of a video, it's purely because if you have a smart TV, when you are in the KZbin app, it previews (plays) the first 7-15 seconds of a video without you selecting it. So advertisers probably complained at some point about ads on videos like that.

[@Argumemnon]

"Keeping the platform safe for all users" Yeah because someone might hear a bad word and be traumatised for life by it.

[@HIP-HOPOPOTAMUS]

There should be a long content exemption IMO. I think the Ad Update is from Shorts introduction to ads. They realized how quickly a YT short can get inappropriate and are protecting the advertisers that will be featured on content that they don't want to be on. So they applied the new rule to all content. Tweak that the first 15 second rule is only on shorts and I think it solves a lot.

[@cooloncrack]

27:40 it does make a lot of sense, i was refused for monetization few times for some bullshit reasons but on my lengthy videos i still have like 2-3 ads, it's just that i don't get my part of revenue, youtube gets it all, even demonetized there are still ads on your videos but youtube doesn't need to pay you anymore, in a word, you work for free if your "career" is youtube

I wonder if KZbin is planning on pushing content towards its premium service. Free version of KZbin heavily age restricted and premium version not. It would make sense imo to do this for them to get more revenue to their platform.

I mean an easy get around for this, as long as you're not cursing the entire video, would be to add an intro to all your videos. Have like a 5-10 sec intro and you're golden.

If a game has a PEGI rating for 18 years old, shouldn't a video of that game also be restricted to that age?

[@kazumakariama]

I'd argue no, because the viewers are simply viewers and the content is meant to primarily be the creators regardless of how its viewed. Some watch horror games being played through the lens of another creator because it lowers the shock factor, the same thing is done for a game like GTA. You arent partaking in anything regardless of whos playing and or whos watching. So the points dont matter from youtubes side regardless.

[@trolleurdurden5534]

That's besides the point. The issue here is the retroactivity and absence of fairness in appeal. Which is basically exactly the opposite of how things are done in the legal system, and for a reason.

28:30 It's not monetized for the creator, but that does not mean it is not for youtube. I saw restricted videos that had ads in them....

[@nodvick]

28:40 I've only gone to your twitch stream once... Anyway, the point is, I had 3 unskippable ads play right away, then 10 minutes later another, 30 second unskippable ad. That's when I left the stream and didn't return. If you believe what you are saying about not playing any ads on your channel, you may need to start a conversation with twitch staff.

In a lot of EU country's it is illegal to share a picture of your ID, pasport or drivers license without blocking out certain info that KZbin wants you to share with them effectively making it illegal to watch age restricted content in a lot of EU country's.

Asmon I was fired a month and a half after a disagreement with a VP of Retail Operations. There was 0 write up, they allowed me to work through the busy holidays, did year end inventory, took a mental health leave of absence then came back to a changed lock on the store's door. There are 0 protections for most workers and no recourse, I was with that retail corporation for a decade.

[@Todestelzer]

YT is hiding videos a long time too. Even when you search for the exact title the video will not show up at all. The only way to see them is to go to the feed of the YT Chanel and search manual for it.

[@the_lomax]

So what youtube should do is allow advertisers to select what content they want their advertisements to be advertised on say G M or R16. The majority of companies will not care about what their products or services are advertised on its about reach that is what advertising is about exposure and reach. To me, it sounds like youtube is removing monetisation while still playing advertisements on the people's content and making bank off the work of content creators.

"Bro, he shouldn't have done that... He shouldn't have rolled..." Yea, that could be moist critikal and markiplier all over again, but with all of KZbin...

im honestly a little worried about this cause gaming in general is going to be severely hurt if they consider anything in gameplay as "violent" since its my main source of stuff i like to see people playing on youtube

its not leftists or SJW's that are forcing this, it's the people who pay for the ad time... they don't want their brands next to it plain and simple you content creators aren't on living on the whim of youtube, they just do whatever the people who are paying them demand

The thing that people fail to fully realise is that those policies are worse (less just) than the laws in the country. What people feel about that is that private companies should not be able to make policies that would be illegal if they would have been written laws. But putting companies on the same level as the government would be a tricky thing and lengthy conversation BTW, bitchute does come up on the search (immediately checked when He said that). Google even corrected me that I've typed "sh" instead of "ch" _LULW_

[@exracer327]

I think you are correct - these changes by KZbin to demonetize creators are done to protect advertisers (who give revenue to KZbin but not to the creators) while at the same time the creators, who are no longer making money, are producing content that KZbin is selling advertising on. That is diabolical. If creators shift to promoting advertising on their own channels rather than being monetized by KZbin, then KZbin's profitability will increase significantly because they are no longer having to give money to creators. Demonetizing creators has to be a new profitability model for KZbin. It is in KZbin's best interest that creators do not know how to restore monetization because that would cost KZbin money.
