First of all, I actually know what those toy channels are like. My two year old half brother watches them. I often make the joke that's the videos I need to make. Be adored by millions of small children. Because yes, I tell my step-mother (who is aware I make videos) to make sure he doesn't find my stuff. Because I am vulgar and I make terrible jokes. But that's me. That's what I do. Also, he totally figured out how to skip ads on those vids. I tried to show him how, and he beat me to it.
The biggest issue I'm having with this is how vague these terms are. Like swearing, what do they count? Are we allowed to say certain things and not others? Personally I don't find any swear word I have kind of stopped saying is goddamn. But I won't stop other people saying it. And back to the controversial topics, what the fuck is that shit? They're topics of discussion. And often get some kind of reaction out of people. I mean, you can't stop people from talking about it. Because then we'd be left with the corrupt and bought off tv media. And again, back to the whole 'populace of idiots'.
They're being vague and completely weird about their enforcement. Because DeFranco had a point about the Syrian boy. Why is it ok for CNN to show graphic content, but someone talking about it is a no go?
I agree with Jim. The recent I left tv behind was because it feels overly controlled. The only thing I watch on tv now is The Blacklist and that's because I love the story and James Spader's acting [Also there are better things on YouTube anyway-S].
I understand it's mostly about the monetization right now. But it goes beyond that. It is a slap to the creators because it is strangling that freedom and that creativity. I get that they want friendly content that doesn't offend or upset people. That helps make money. But you know what? It's people who watch YouTube. And people can choose to stop watching something. I have a psychological issue where I don't like watching or reading anything bad happening to pregnant women or to little girls. Fucking, hell Quaker, you saw my reaction to that news story about a woman poisoning her daughter. I don't like that shit. But, in regards to fiction, I'm not going to tell people not to do have that kind of thing. I'm just either going to get up and walk away for a bit, skip it, or stop watching it. I'm a fucking human being. I make my own choices.
We can try to create our happy little space bubble and only watch shows like RWBY Chibi [Which even I admit is fucking adorable and we're watching it now-S] and Bob Ross, but that doesn't make it all go away. People need to grow up and learn to accept the facts of life.
So long as a channel is not promoting hate, or violence, or intolerance, then there shouldn't be an issue. If I want to talk about how fucking stupid Donald Trump is [Will, please, we'll be flagged for this. Yes I'm being sarcastic.-S] then I will and there shouldn't be a penalty so long as I don't go into hate speech or incite
