i don't understand what happened in Bangkok today

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

Here's a link to the age-restricted video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIvCl5ptapKBgaM If you have any idea why that happened, please comment below and help me out!

[@renorzeta]

Orange Party need the Speaker Chair to pushing their Agenda. Red Party won't play their game unless Orange party being 100% Obedience otherwise it better for Red Party to competing to form their own coalition.

[@SFX2512]

Wondering if its certain words (especially how you pronounced them) triggered KZbin’s AI to apply age restrictions…

[@davidharris2151]

Could be the guy with the flaming shot who sets himself alight! 🤔

[@SFX2512]

The beginning of your video

[@vortexfx420]

weed, bikini women and blood all within the first 10 secs of the video 555

[@yaterspoon57]

It's the weed Chris. Google THC & KZbin age restrict.

[@101skaterat]

😂😂 I don't think it's the weed man tons of politics more than that lol 😂

[@mycomments1136]

Nice work! I've always enjoyed your channel. Thanks for trying not to be involved in and take side on Thai politics. You've definitely made the right decision because Thai politics is very complicated and it'd take more than 20 years of looking back to really understand it. It's not really "pro-democracy" vs "conservative (pro-authoritarian)" like most medias describe. Partially, it's more about corrupt politicians vs law & order, etc. Even more complicated, each side has several factions, good and bad, mixed together.

[@nypatech]

same happened to Tim Newton when he said the cannabis word. He's resorted to using broccoli and maharaja as substitutes

[@davidmartin6141]

Saw the same TNT video The "C" word gets you restricted

[@pingbookent]

All cable you saw mostly fiber optic from communication provider and 90% is unused. (The number is from The Metropolitan Electricity Authority; MEA who own the infrastructure)

[@RomanVarl]

It's weed subject age restriction. Don't forget it's still a serious crime in many countries.

[@terrann3545]

I watched that age restricted news reel twice, and I don't get why its age restricted, YT's algorithms get worse every year as its head gets shoved further and further up its own butt. Chris as a shareholder I feel that your work on that news feed was completely appropriate, awesome work.

[@papayapok]

Ok. I need to fix this misunderstanding. Those are not electrical wire. They are old telephone wire mix with internet fiber wire. You won't get electric shock with those. You can see there are 2 mass layer of wires on the pole. The electrical wire are upper, at almost the peak of its pole. So Basically, the lower are not dangerous. Well, I mean if you don't tripped over them when you cross a bridge, of course. 😅

[@shaunashton9744]

As someone who has worked in telecommunications my entire working life those cables drive me crazy.

[@DominanteMegaLit]

Ahhhh, the beauty of coiled advance in the kilometers! aahahahha It's NBA everywhere!

[@kevinp8108]

@shaunashton9744 - can you confirm that those jumbled wires are actually telecommunication wires, not power lines? I've heard so many different descriptions of those wires.

[@jimeadie8139]

Kevin P, the majority of the cables are communications cables. A Thai worker told me it was too hard to find faults so they just install a new cable. The strain on the power poles is not good 😟

[@kevinp8108]

@@jimeadie8139 Thanks for the confirmation!

[@shaunashton9744]

@Kevin P they're definitely not power. Not thick enough and if it was god help us. Even 1 power cable in that mess would create noise issues. There's probably enough of those already.

[@MikeMatsuno]

This is in regard to your request to watch the 60-second news video and comment on why KZbin put an age restriction on this video. It was really hard to figure out. The only scene I thought might be a bad influence for young people to watch was when the Russian drinker drank the lit on-fire vodka and it went down his neck and front of his body. Maybe KZbin thought that was too dangerous and a bad influence on young people? The only other part may be when you were in the pot shop asking them to roll you up a joint before work. But nothing blatant or obvious. I wonder why... ;0

[@katinte3092]

Thank you for your make this video to show people’s in the world.

[@texwashere2]

Fun Fact: If a video is age restricted then it is not suggested nor is it actually viewable to/by unauthenticated viewers. A very large percentage of views on YT are not logged in.

[@dominiquelaurain6427]

Agree a lot + Chris, I watched your video after log in, and I have missed the big age warning sign tagged somewhere. Are you sure there is one sign displayed for "viewers" or is it only for you in the managing tools of your channel ? Some youtubers have been slammed by the AI, even the night wish master of sin city

[@dominiquelaurain6427]

usually the age warned videos have a blurred picture thumbail, and your last video thumbnail is crystal clear... Groucho Marx would have said : "the first 5 year old kid nearby can check it easy"

[@mariannayoung-kv2uh]

There was no restriction when I watched just prior to watching this video

[@GregorBrown]

I'm trying to understand! 😂❤ Watching now, brother.

[@robertdawson4502]

I watched what you called the age restricted video first without knowing that KZbin claimed it could not be posted. KZbin must have changed their minds about it.

[@jitsak1977]

Most of the cables on the power line are Fiber optic cable (FTTX). When you cancel the FTTX service , they just let it stay up there. and line the new one when someone make new contact.

[@shaunashton9744]

There's probably a big business in recycling all the old cables, surprised that there's no project to clean it up. Do you work with Thai Telecom networks?

[@jitsak1977]

@@shaunashton9744 They have a project to remove all lines to underground on Sukhumvit street just a week ago, I heard from the news. I am Networking engineer become Apartment owner, I did not work in Networking anymore.

[@jitsak1977]

@@shaunashton9744 I heard that thay remove non-used line when the pole can not carry the weight of the cable anymore. They did it but rarely. Network Infrastructure in Thailand most of them are FTTX media that why internet in Thailand is so fast because They just line it new every where.

[@shaunashton9744]

@Jitsak Srisakwarakul I have had a little experience in FTTX, what you describe is the exact opposite to Australia where I am from, our networks were quite good but getting run down, as they are mostly underground no one notices that much. Plus the speeds have always been terrible

[@jitsak1977]

@@shaunashton9744 I think the real problem is not local network in your country that make it slow. I think because it your country geography is alone, big and distance from another. Backbone connection has been invested by only 1 country. While Thailand is in the middle of southeast Asia close with many countries, they can share the investment on a same big backbone undersea cable project. I am not sure , am I right? but it is what I think.

[@jamie1944]

Tim Newton was demonetised for talking about cannabis on his TNT daily news programme, he called it broccoli the following day and still got demonetised.

[@geoh999]

Good morning we live in Northern California. And there was no restriction when we played the video just say you know..Geo.

Hi Chris.Definitely the 'Weed'' bit.Some countries would get upset about that segment.

[@brianoc6057]

Heading to Bangkok down town area in a day can’t way thanks for sharing everything

[@vintageexcellence]

As soon as you say cannabis the video is flagged and demonetized. Tim Newton said the “C” world gets him all the time so he started calling it broccoli and his videos were also demonetized. The age restriction is interesting, maybe that was added because you spoke about rolling one up for use. Pretty lame how strict they are on weed, the must have a bunch of old people in charge at google who are still scared from seeing reefer madness in the 50s 😱

[@SantiSabaiLife]

It's not necessarily the marijuana content. In this last week I've heard many KZbinrs comment on videos being demonetized or age restricted and no one can figure out exactly why.

[@Tronnet]

I know others in KZbin that are complaining massively from the KZbin Restrictions

[@amswestyorkshire8048]

The best thing about Thai politics is not to take side as is very complicated and for your own happy time there.❤

[@alisoncherry65]

I don’t think you video is age restricted

[@rondo365]

It has to be the cannabis content Chris; all the legal sites here have an age verification blocker. Always enjoy your insights! Especially Canadian Chris, that guy's a star. Needs a toque though.

[@stefancarpenter]

It seems to not age-restricted here in Poland, as far as I can tell.

[@davidkelley9848]

Worked fine no age restrictions

[@DominanteMegaLit]

Ofcourse I watch THE REAL NEWS! It's called 60 Seconds in Thailand! 💪💪💪

[@Mooncat6]

It will be the word Cannabis Chris. I know another KZbinr who found out this in a similar way and now refers to it as the Devils Lettuce. Another one I know had to call it coffee. He would talk about the type of cannabis, or the variety he had bought, and use the word coffee instead of Cannabis e.g. sensemillia flavoured coffee.

[@johnalveus]

i checked the transcript as you were talking and your F-word was removed from the script both times .. i’m guessing it’s normal but i never knew

[@travissimpkins8840]

Mon to bad i missed you guys, hopefully next time when I retire next year

[@apuestasfutbol]

Weed! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 When C Parker looking high and asking someone to roll a joint …. speaks for itself dude. If your video was for just Thailand the okay, but remember KZbin is available globally and each country has different rules and regs on drugs.

[@GregorBrown]

Did you use any language or anything in the first 30 seconds? That could do it.

[@gordiehowl3553]

Chris those look like Telephone company wires not Hydro. They also look like working in that area would take Telco Techs 5-10x as much time to figure out the cable in trouble.

[@Psumpaw]

The messy wires are communication cable NOT ELECTRICAL CABLE.

Girl in bikini is propably what is making it age restricted. I have heard about KZbin doing that for little things on other videos.

[@Milan-yw6rm]

Once you commented political situation & recent elections you got the age restriction! Not a fan of conspiracy theory but you widely talked about weed a year ago, and nobody complained. Keep on Chris with excellent work, share the good vibe worldwide and yes - like you mentioned, have a nice fuck. :)

I can explain to you Chris. Move Forward party’s leader supported publicly the weeds before but 4 years later he wanted to beat Poom Jai Thai party (who regulated weeds for both medical and economical use). There is an authentic video of Mr.Pita talking about his cannabis support 4 years ago.

[@abc_0_10_11]

I'm curious that is it because it's contradicting the laws in your country and the kids might end up in trouble for expressing controversial views? Please no more kids to this world who are brainwashed from the beginning - teach them be neutral.

You was also still unclear about the elections. What do the parties stand for (changes they want or not), and why did the move-forward party won?

[@danallard]

Gotta think it was the weed content that caused the age strike. KZbin is bizarre - they took down a 3-year old webinar I produced because a speaker used a personal clip he recorded specifically for the webinar.

[@Robert8455]

That is the perfect vlogging spot. Did you notice the safety mirror that is hidden behind some of the wires. How insane.

It’s the “c” word , I think

Hi Chris. I dont know exactly the "algorithm", I help you only with my understanding of "youtube content rating" just googled to know the criterias. I guess in fact the platform is using keywords or some sort of meta-information (like translating to texts). I will crypt my comment here but you guess easy. The N criteria : few clothes for the russians, the bear, Keith, the selling woman the V criteria : with the ugly daily news in sin sity, the P for all products you can use, include the mett with an hazardous status in the prude america (there are no Anutin outside LoS, and promoting some commerce is web sponsor frightening). Some irony from me, but I can recall the time when books for children with the "phoque!!" or "Wazz" in the superheros drawn balloons zine have been censored by prude people too in my country....Fifty years later, an AI is Judge Dread ...and I am not surprised ;-)

In last 15 years there has been military coups, tanks in the streets, arm soldiers at MRT stations, Suvarnabhumi airport closed, central Bangkok closed Central World Mall set on fire, politicians shot and killed by snipers ('men in black') while addressing crowds, and Thailand has kept on keeping on. The election went off without a hitch. The formation of new Government is going to the predicted processes. In relation to cannabis, I can remember cannabis, opium and heroin etc, while being illegal being freely available. Then over 3,000 people being summary executed in a drugs crack down. In the last year or so the practical no regulation cannabis production, supply and use.

[@marmawe]

In my opinion you shouldn't talk about politics, that's not one of your best skills, be more focus on your informative blogs about thailand as a destination for westerners.

[@cachecow]

I'd guess it was the tourist behaving badly part of the video that got age restricted. Street stabbings and bleeding bar patrons must have been too much for their delicate systems

[@Prahatech]

MoveForwardParty did not win an outright majority and needs partner parties to form a coalition. In situations like this, MFP cannot expect to dominate all key positions without compromise. They want the PM spot and the Speaker slot. And PleuThai gets nothing? Keep this up, and MFP will remain in opposition. Too greedy.
