--- Quote from: legacy on December 26, 2019, 03:11:03 pm ---One of my friends is on Youtube, dressed as Wednesday Addams talking about horror movies and series in a polite e professional way, and for certain obscure reasons, Youtube has tried several times to demonetize her videos accusing her of being about harmful and dangerous content. --- End quote --- YouTube's algorithms may have misidentified her as a child. Given their problems with child-directed content, the algorithms may be overly trigger-happy upon detecting the combination of child plus horror. |

You people really are going after low hanging fruit by picking on antivaxers and flat earthers. |

Firstly, you don't need to sign up for an account to view any of the content, you can just skip that stage. --- End quote --- There has never been a need for an account to watch youtube videos either. |

I can even follow my favourite channels on LBRY without an account or signing in to anything. --- End quote --- Yeah, whimpers have to complain how annoying it is to see the video stopped for advertising, like when you are in your car, and you complain that the traffic light gets red and you have to wait for it becoming green, or you have to stop and wait at the level crossing because a train is there about to pass. Life is something like that. With semaphores. I am not an expert on digital marketing, but talking about TVs I have some experience with a local TV station where no advertising apparently seemed a good idea, but in the end, it meant the management had to find a way to get money, and ... things went even worse without advertising. Life is something like that. Nobody does things really for free, and even a smile hides advertising. Now Youtube now has some problem with its algorithms, ok, hope this can be fixed somehow ... but at the moment I wonder ... has it ever asked you a single penny for all the hours of news, entertainment, and business opportunities it has given you? |
