[@rwolfheart6580]

One of the worst examples I've seen lately is KZbin's treatment of Ann Reardon. She made a video explaining why a popular "life hack" (fractal wood burning) was incredibly dangerous and potentially fatal, and they took down her video for promoting dangerous activities. Meanwhile, all the people she showed in her video who actually did the dangerous project and tell you how to do it still have their videos up. She managed to get the video back up but it lost all the previous views and comments, she had to beg people to share it.

[@Boonesman]

Yesterday KZbin handed down their final decision to SummoningSalt, that his video will remain age restricted because of the three second clip of swearing. He's going to reupload it tomorrow with all profanity removed. Just ignore that their THIRD manual review restricted it for nudity, which is so out of the realm of plausibility that it's laughable.

[@rubyriot69]

poor dude, i love his content and i hope they’ll stop finding bullshit reasons to limit his monetization

[@chelsea_umberger]

The “age-restricting” that KZbin does is ridiculous. This has also happened to another creator where they labeled his video “made for kids”. It isn’t made for kids. It’s a video game rated T for Teen and is not for General Audiences. KZbin will do nothing for this creator. They just keep coming back to the same “conclusion”. It’s absolutely wrong.

[@shaggytheshaman]

I mean, what did you expect when you signed up for a website that offered free unlimited hosting space? The second I see a website offering something so ludicrous, the bells in my head go off. Add to that the fact that KZbin not only offers unlimited hosting space for free, but it also offers sponsorship and promotion for free. Any website that offers so many expensive things for free is gonna have some strings attached, that's just common sense. It's so silly how kids feel so entitled to being handed an easy career in entertainment. If you don't want KZbin making judgments about how age-appropriate your content is, then what you should do is actually pay for your hosting space and then you won't have to deal with somebody else trying desperately to protect their asses, because offering free hosting space to a nigh-infinite number of people carries with it a bunch of legal fears. If KZbin just let everybody do whatever tf they wanted with their platform, the people running KZbin would be in jail. They have to do things to protect themselves, and it's not easy monitoring literally billions of videos. This is what you get when you go with a free service making unreasonably extravagant promises (unlimited hosting space, promotion, and sponsorship all free of charge). If you want something better, well, hey, you get what you pay for my dude.

[@genderender]

@@shaggytheshaman you do realize that this about force mislabeling of a video for kids? The video was not made for kids, but marked as such therefore will show up in KZbin kids. So much for protecting their asses

@@shaggytheshaman the issue is there isn't a better paid alternative. youtube is THE long form video sharing platform. nothing else even comes close to giving youtube a run for its money. there is no other (viable) alternative. sure, you could use a paid video sharing platform, or hell another free one, but if enough viewers aren't on that platform, nothings gonna come of it. the content creators go where the most content consumers are. until that changes, youtube is their only option. also, no one is saying youtube shouldn't have rules & regulations for their creators. ppl ARE saying that those regulations are poorly & unequally enforced, which is true. a lot of youtubes regulations & moderation of potentially harmful content is objectively scuffed. all ppl want is consistency & clarity, both of which youtube seems unwilling or unable to provide.

Yet they can do nothing about bot accounts commenting the same spam 400 times per minute, on every comment on the video. There was a guy on Twitch that made a code live on stream that went through his follows and banned all the ones that were bots, simply by running a script "contains these words followed by this many numbers." It removed over 20,000. These seem like incredibly easy fixes, it baffles me that it's still a thing across the largest platforms in the world.

[@maddieb.4282]

@@genderender irrelevant, they said that they scroll away and report. Those are neutral interactions for the algorithm and should make it less likely that you’ll see related content. The algorithm doesn’t favor “negative” interactions, if you comment on a video it has the same weight regardless if your tone is complimentary or insulting. You may mean that negative content often gets more engagement through angry viewers which is true. Comments, views, and likes are really all that matters to the site.

[@eriswriterforbadastra]

As a small science education channel, this is really reassuring. My co-founder was enraged with how little views our video essays got in comparison to our recent drama adjacent video.

Alright how about this, you draw people in with the promise of drama but turn it into a science conversation. Like you could talk about old scientists drama. I think that early science academics had lots of drama so you could do it. For example, there's stories like people stealing each other's ideas or even the drama of new ideas disrupting old ones in the science community. You can use this to draw people in but then actually teach them the science concept connected to that person, era or situation.

KZbin's discrepancy when it comes to demonetization and restriction is wild. Matt Walsh still has an incredibly popular youtube channel where he makes calls to violent action against trans and queer people; meanwhile, positive and incredible creators like summoning salt get screwed over.

[@audsdacity]

I don't understand the reasoning behind the vagueness-- they're definitely using automated review, it's not hard to just add automation that flags the section in question and lets you know what's wrong with it. Do they deliberately WANT to keep it vague so that nobody's able to look too closely at their policies/procedures? The only reason I see behind that is for them to be able to flag things arbitrarily.

[@darienwells8038]

To me it seems like a strategy to avoid accountability- blaming the amorphous seemingly random algorithm is easier than actually moderating/setting hard bans on types of content. Setting a precedent means anyone can point out where theyre slacking on moderation for profit/views/etc which is a big no no for youtube corp and friends 🙄

[@rwolfheart6580]

I think it's definitely deliberate. The vast majority of people uploading won't bother appealing it, they'll just cut their losses or edit and reupload. If they were more specific, the fact that the algorithm is bad at its job would be more obvious, and then people would bother complaining/appealing.

[@vividdem]

From what I understand the problem is that KZbin just doesn't let creators know what the problem is when they claim there is one. Like how are you supposed to correct something if you don't know what the issue is. KZbin really doesn't give its creators any other option than to be at the mercy of the algorithm and reviewing system

[@sidneyh.l.5890]

I feel like youtubers need to unionize to make the company be better

[@rwolfheart6580]

I sincerely doubt that could ever happen, unfortunately, although I agree with the sentiment. Like they said near the end, any kind of efforts for collective action on social media are just a drop in the bucket, and KZbinrs have no other good platforms to go to (or threaten to go to). There's just not enough dissatisfaction among creators for KZbin to care.

[@tecc]

Tbh KZbin is almost at this point a monopoly, so far as video uploading sites are concerned. TikTok is a competitor, but it will be a long uphill battle before anyone disrupts KZbin’s corner in the market. After all, KZbin has a history of being able to steal top creators on other platforms and entice them to upload on KZbin. There are very few profitable options available to long-form content creators.

[@northstarjakobs]

When it comes to the idea of tiktok as a competitor to youtube, I feel like their niches are separate enough (with the hosting of longer form content specifically) that tiktok doesn't really have the same pressure as a competitor that a situation where a business isn't a monopoly would have

[@tecc]

@@northstarjakobs yeah, thats true.

[@therecognitionscene3771]

I uploaded an unlisted video of Animal Crossing Wild World gameplay footage (no commentary) to show a friend, and KZbin age-restricted it and I have no idea why. And then there’s a video of a live Mitski performance that seems to be flagged as for kids even though the lyrics have like, suicide imagery. I know they don’t want to reveal too much about the algorithm so people don’t game it, but I really have to wonder how it came to these decisions.

[@Brossentia]

As a whole, speedrunning is looking for a reliable place for streaming that supports its creators. Twitch had been good, but more and more, Amazon seems to be cutting people's chances to actually make money there. KZbin has a huge chance to bring over many more speedrunners. But they keep botching it. Time and time again, they botch it.

I've been a user/creator off and on since 2005. Haven't made any money from it, yet. Too much time between ideas. Recently, I've been trying to make a return but the platform still seems to fight itself. This place used to just be where people posted FFX cutscenes remixed to VNV Nation or other music, and the weird kids wanting to leave a tiny scratch on the sidewalk of fame. I love all parts of the site: games, commentary, music, films, cooking, etc. ...but the thing that sticks out from all of this... is the attitude of KZbin, the corporate side. They are like the teachers who started a class on projects, but continues to ignore the students, bc they got better things to do like mass-market your ideas and collect extraneous profits. Maybe I'm just getting older and hate seeing peculiar animosities keeping the sides from talking. We're all in this crayon box together. The elders of our world were young once, they've just forgotten and became neglecting. But if Scatman Corothers taught me anything, it's that a simple thing can change your life.

[@TheMaskedHero]

I love Summoning Salt content. But as a parent, I would keep a hyper sensitive ear to what is being said in a video, because I wouldn't watch it while they are around. Although, to be fair, my kids don't know what swear words are, because we don't call attention to it when it does come up on the radio or when relatives slip up. I don't want to get to puritanical about the issue, but those kinds of videos, where 99.9% of the video is completely clean, I would censor the streamed swear words to prevent something like this from happening. ***The editing and muting stuff is a good point, the platform has been around long enough that there should be that kind of work around on hand to automatically mitigate this issue in the short term.***

[@GrayYeonWannabe]

sincere question, do you have the same policy about violence?

[@TheMaskedHero]

@@GrayYeonWannabe That is an excellent and relevant point. And I would say no, dispute the fact that my kids would get in trouble at school for hitting someone. And after watching the video on the Summoning Alt account about what they went through and the policies, I actually think this issue is even more ridiculous, because the profanity is such a small section of the video compared to KZbin's example in the policy. At the end of the day, I do wish there were tools in place for creators to not lose so much of their potential momentum with a video, such as the option for the flagged sections to get muted in the short term. And I agree more with Jarvis after viewing the SA video than I did 45 minutes ago.

[@TheMaskedHero]

This has really stuck with me over the last few hours. And I think at this point I'm ready to just say that I actively disagree with how KZbin handled this.

Sounds like it's finally time for people to stop expecting a free paycheck from KZbin and go back to hosting their own content like things were a little over a decade ago. Things were so much better that way. We didn't have to listen to KZbinrs constantly complaining about their free paychecks -- instead they gave us *content* (believe it or not). There was none of this reaction bullsh#%, none of this "being upset that my video for adults was reasonably categorized as not appropriate for children," none of this purposefully making your videos look like sh%& to avoid copyright claims, none of this constant complaining about Fair Use, none of this insufferable sense of entitlement that those of you who grew up with KZbin as a career option have... If you guys want to start moving away from the free ride KZbin gives you and start hosting your own content on your own platform I will 100000000% follow you. Things were infinitely better when everybody had their own website instead of everybody uploading their videos to the same website and constantly complaining about how much they hate all the free money KZbin gives them. Enough is enough. Us poor people are sick of hearing rich KZbinrs complain about how KZbin gives them free hosting space and free promotion and how much they hate it. Just make your own website then and pay for your own hosting space and promote your content on your own and then you can do whatever tf you want. This sense of entitlement you have where you expect KZbin to bend over backward providing you with free hosting space entirely free from any sort of rules or regulations is just obnoxiously tone deaf. Life doesn't work that way. If you want your own rule-free hosting space, you're gonna have to do what the rest of us did and pay money for it. If you want a free hosting space that promotes your content and does all the hard work of getting you advertisers, then you're going to have to accept the fact that there are going to be some rules and regulations. I dunno how you expect KZbin to hire people to personally watch every single video and come to a conclusion about how appropriate it's content is. That's ludicrous. If you want something like that, you're going to have to actually pay for your hosting space instead of just taking a free hand-out. When you take free hand-outs, you're obligated to abide by the terms of the person giving you the free hand-out. KZbin bends over backward providing millions of people with not only free hosting space but also free promotion. AND they do the hard work of finding you a sponsor and hooking you up with advertisers. Get. The fuck. Over it. Or pay for your hosting space. I'm so sick of hearing KZbinrs complain, and I miss the days when everybody had their own website instead of just social media accounts on other people's websites. Figure it out, my dude.
