That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the disclaimer

youtube: you can't make content that appeals to kids also youtube: you have to make content that's appropriate for kids

[@d_camara]

That was because youtube can fuck up, automatically flag your video as "for kids", and then sure you for millions because "you flagged a video as for kids and it's violent", but that was probably a very rare thing that happened a few times and got fixed, Ethan probably did that as a protest This video just got demonetized

"Safe for youtube" and it just shows a black screen and a stock explosion. I love that.

[@jamezjamez5572]

Can someone give a good a logical counterargument to "TF2 is an old game, the devs aren't gonna bet it's gonna go mainstream if they fix the bot crisis" (my brother stands on his point, I am bad at arguing, both of us haven't touched TF2, but I have seen how amazing this community is, on their creativity, passion, dedication, and open-mindedness, it's such a shame how neglectful Valve has become)

[@callmekitty6742]

It's a massive cultural icon. Famous for its fan content andrevolutionary gameplay. If they actually make the latter accessible for the average player, then many people who stopped playing TF2 or haven't given it a shot because of how broken it currently is are likely to find themselves having a great time and probably even giving Valve money if they are to fix TF2

[@professionalanagram]

Valve’s other games have a very sorry and outdated anticheat system, but tf2 is one of the worst examples of it. Essentially their motivation for making a good anticheat would not just be to help Valve with their own games, but essentially make them an industry leader by default because anticheat is pretty poor for several companies (Valve’s is just that abysmal).
