Ya I'm so sick of hearing "can't mention that, YouTube will demonetize me" on videos (or what amounts to that with censored language, topics, blurred guns now, etc.) Just makes it very clear we're living in a corporate echo chamber where everything must align with what advertisers want. How about what the viewers want??? Fuck the advertisers
As long as the viewers refuse to pay for content, they get what the customers (the advertisers) want.
YouTube Premium actually pays out to "demonetized" channels. What people call "demonetized" is actually called "limited ads".
Pardon me Sir/Madam,
This is Lemmy.
All everyone does is shit on YouTube because they can no longer easily grab content without paying for it and they expect YouTube to constantly serve them content forever for free because "I'm SuRe GoOgLe CaN aFfOrD iT"
Even beeping and blurring is punished by the algorithm. A YouTuber called RTGame decided to start censoring swearwords and content by using the word YouTube and their logo. Either YouTube has to start flagging their own name or it won't detect it. Nothing has been flagged so far.
RTGame always comes up with some of the best workarounds. Assuming he was the one to come up with it
