[@WMDistraction]

This all stems from the fact that politicians - mostly people in their 60s and 70s - do not understand how radically the media landscape has changed in just the past 15-20 years. People no longer just consume content. They interact with it, transform it, and create it. When these politicians were children, things were marketed to them by corporations who did their best to figure out what they wanted, but now, content that is made *for* those demographics is often made *by* those demographics (or adjacent ones, like parents). This doesn't just mean that Timmy and Nancy can find content that might be deemed inappropriate by corporations that are trying to maximize their profits, but also that all kinds of content are being made for all kinds of adults who are into all kinds of things, including interests that might be traditionally thought of as targeting children. These rules don't work because the lines aren't drawn by corporations anymore, but individuals and small groups, and people are fickle and harder to put into boxes than corporations that spend millions of dollars specifically so that they can comply with the law (at least enough to financially benefit them...).

@@TruFalco Like, do I just go delete some of the fun older videos I've made? What if I was someone who made videos on this site YEARS ago, didn't even long into the site for yeeEEAARRS, then suddenly got slammed with like, 30,000 dollars? I'm pretty sure I don't even make half of that in a year. It would ruin me. I would become homeless, or forever in debt. I'd have no options.

@@CronyneWARE that's why people are reaching out to the FTC to try to open a dialog with them, or at least clarify what these rules mean. They said humans are going to be involved, so it's not going to be expressly the content ID system all over again, automatically fining people. There's going to be processes the FTC will follow.

Hey Arlo! I'm pretty new to your channel, but I'll definitely be sticking around. As another 30-something who grew up with Nintendo, so much of your content resonates with me. Nintendo is ingrained in our childhood memories. We have so much love and passion for the company. When we see they're doing questionable (at best) things, we get angry with them. Not because we hate them, but because we care and we expect more. Because we know they're CAPABLE of more. So, in response to the end of your video... much love man! For you and your content. I'm glad the FTC mess didn't turn into the end of your channel, and I look forward to seeing more :) Thank you for all you do, really.

Nice quote! My favorite part was when the evil corporations took over the government and forced consumers into slavery. Good thing we have the FTC to prevent that from happening, right? Oh...you'd prefer Google or Amazon to protect your data...ok.

@@thisguy3500 Instead of evil corps you instead have a government already in place forcing consumers into slavery.

@@thisguy3500 A big controlling government is just as bad as a big controlling corporation. In my opinion, the United States needs to dump the Senate and the House and become a real democracy like Switzerland. Then, when the people feel that a corporation is getting too powerful, they could vote to cap or shrink their profits.

FTC: KZbin needs to like make content kid friendly. KZbin, an app where you have to be 13-years or older to join: Yeah, you have to be kid friendly. Literally everyone else: Didn't you make an app to fix this problem? If parents are so concerned, they should either install KZbin Kids or like actually pay attention to what their kids do online. FTC, COPPA, and KZbin:

Fucking retarded boomers are the cause of all this

Yep, I hate 'em

[@xxTheOOBxx]

While I agree the FTC is way out of line, your comment is a little unfair. Everyone knows kids use KZbin, and KZbin pretended they didn't, illegally gathering information from kids and targeting them with horrifying videos. People have also been making horrifying videos largely because they know kids would find them. Something needs to be done and KZbin was only making things worse. If the industry doesn't self regulate, government will, and no one wants government to regulate media.

[@Narusasu98]

Yes but it's annoying to pay attention to what your kids do, you know. Poor selfish parents, give them some slack :v They didn't want children in the first place.

[@xxTheOOBxx]

@@Narusasu98 Parents have never had watch over their kids 24/7, and there is nothing wrong with society and the government to want to protect kids. This is a complicated issue and trying to pass blame doesn't help anyone.

[@trees_are_round]

This reminds me of the whole Tumblr thing from last year where they got rid off all their NSFW content bc of how accessible it was to kids. Tumblr lost a good chunk of their user base bc of it and many artists had to scramble to figure out where they were going to post their art bc, ya know, it’s their livelihood. All censorship is going to do is hurt the creators, not protect the consumers.

[@LeafShade]

Tumblr, bought for billions then sold for a couple million the next year. But this isn't a youtube problem, this would be an internet problem.

[@trees_are_round]

Gabriella von Haven that’s true. But the attempt didn’t work. So now we’re left with bots and nothing fun 😂😂

[@papermario3982]

They got rid of the NSFW because of FOSTA-SESTA, essentially. Which got pushed through by Facebook trying to distract people from their information scandals, against the advice of every expert on sex trafficking, striking a serious blow to a free web. God only knows when we can get it repealed because if you oppose it you sound like you're being soft on sex traffickers or something
