YouTube Videos Could Get Demonetized If They Have 'Inappropriate Comments'
In response to a mother's inquiry into why her son's gymnastics videos were deemed not advertiser friendly, YouTube said on Twitter it has "taken a number of actions to better protect the YouTube community from content that endangers minors." The video-sharing website went on to say something very concerning for anyone who has ever uploaded a video to the site: "... even if your video is suitable for advertisers, inappropriate comments could result in your video receiving limited or no ads (yellow icon)."
Essentially, what YouTube is saying is that if someone leaves a "incendiary or demeaning" comment, or one with "inappropriate language," the video which features that comment could get demonetized and the content creator would not generate money from it. If you've ever read a comment thread on YouTube, it shouldn't take long for you to realize how big of an issue this could become. According to YouTube's "advertiser-friendly content guidelines," the following content may not be suitable for most advertisers: "controversial issues and sensitive events," "drugs and dangerous products or substances," "harmful or dangerous acts," "harmful or dangerous acts," "hateful content," "inappropriate language," "inappropriate use of family entertainment characters," "incendiary and demeaning [content]," "sexually suggestive content," and/or "violence."
The best advice for circumventing this issue is to disable comments entirely, but this would significantly reduce the interaction between the YouTuber and the viewer. "If this is our new reality we're going to need the ability to restrict comments from accounts under 1-4 weeks old," says news commentator and YouTube personality Philip DeFranco. "Sounds like this is prime for weaponization. Also it would probably be best to have an official blog post instead of my tweet as a reference for this change."

...have no problem collecting 100% of the ad money. They will still run the ad and bill for it, it's just a new way to stiff you out of the money.
I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it's a peach of cake.
Sick of those puritan pieces of shit controlling everything. Whole industry should be taken to the guillotine. Also, youtube is a piece of shit and they should get rid of the comments section.
Making a business or any sort of living as a content creator on YouTube seems to be coming rather quickly to an end if this rule takes hold.
Then again, maybe all that will be left on YouTube are those that do this as a passion project and not expect to make money from it... Those that are only in it for the money will quickly move on to something perhaps more profitable.
If they're so obsessed about "protecting the children", then just hide and disable comments across the entire site on the Youtube Kids interface. Then it's just up to the parents to ensure that Youtube is locked in the Kids mode on their devices.
Fox News recently started disabling comments on its YouTube videos.
PBS videos have long had comments disabled, a fact I always found amusing.
That will work out well. Everybody on YouTube, no matter how nice or friendly, has enemies. There are a lot of dissatisfied, cruel, envious and stupid people around and also some outright psychos. If these people now get handed a Really Big Stick, they are going to use it.
On the plus-side, this extreme stupidity hopefully will hasten the demise of YouTube. It has vastly overstayed its welcome anyways.
Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
So Youtubers uploading videos of minors are going to have to choose between no comments or no monetization? This'll doom channels that are specifically about audience participation, like "leave a comment about what you want me to do in my next video". This'll push more Youtube content creators to accept kickbacks from companies to shill their products, rather than being able to rely on monetization and potentially remain unbiased.
Corruption is convincing someone that the selfless ideal is the same as their selfish ideal.
What'll happen is people who hate others speaking their minds will infest their comment sections and troll them, leaving inflammatory comments. This'll get them demonetized, which is about the same as being shut down. Appearing on Youtube is a full-time job if you do it right. It's not vapid internet celebrities either, there is some really incisive content by people like Jimmy Dore that is regularly reported and demonetized by these trolls.
Censorship isn't a school board banning Huckleberry Finn any more. In the corporatist system we have, corporate censorship isn't any different than government censorship. It doesn't make much difference whether the one silencing your dissent is Youtube or Andrew McCabe. The effect is the same.
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!
I duplicate every video I put up on YT on at least one alternative site. So far I have everything up on Bitchute as well. Anyone who doesn't duplicate their content on an alternative video sharing site, is crazy.

Itll get abused rather quickly and they will have to remove it. :)

"How to solve an important but complicated problem"
By: YouTube
1. Ignore problem
2. Keep ignoring problem
3. Once people bring light to problem, keep ignoring it
4. If it might lose you ad revenue, announce you're looking into it (but keep ignoring it)
5. If it has caused you to lose ad revenue, PANIC! ANNOUNCE YOU'RE TAKING MAJOR STEPS TO SOLVE IT!
6. Implement the worst possible solution to fixing the problem (Make sure the solution can be easily abused to shutdown small channels!)
7. Wonder why people hate YouTube
9. ???
10. No profit
I can see it now. Pay me a bit of (bit)coin, or my bots will post ruinous comments on your videos, and all those that follow you...... Why shake down the local convenience stores when you can hit thousands of content providers, and avoid local jurisdictions prosecutions by never setting foot in the street.
And this is why we can't have nice things.
An attentionwhore suddenly decides that ordinary videos of children dancing or in swimwear uploaded by the families or kids themselves is 'softcore child porn' in his own words, (softcore CP that he plays back in the very video that went viral and he's made tons of thumbnails that have been seen by millions) and now the livelihood of content creators across the internet are at risk, regular people will no longer be able to upload videos, and tons of people are generally going to be inconvenienced. All because 'think of the children' hysteria is so powerful nowadays everybody is too terrified to stand up against it and for common sense.
This isn't about comments that they don't want kids to see.
This is about some really messed up stuff that happens with the algorithm for recommending videos and comments certain people post on videos of kids. It's a messed up situation that needs to be addressed somehow. Hopefully YouTube will come up with better solutions.
Gillette will no longer make a dime on YouTube. However, I suspect this will just be an excuse to disable comments.
From what I've seen off the video, the waymo car didn't respond to the officer, it responded to all the cars around it that accelerated from rest.
IOW, it only proceeded after the other car next to it proceeded. It is not clear that it interpreted the officer as anything other than an object in the way.
I'm a minority race. Save your vitriol for white people.
Fortunately enough, this is not a big problem for our renowned IT janitor from California.
He deletes comments as they come in except if the provenance is one of his sock puppet accounts.
1st amendment, bitches
CROFLOL!
The funny thing is that he recently made a video against Verge doing the same!
What an inconsistent and hypocrite sucker!
You wondered why creimer moderated comments on his channel, now you know.
Who reads the comments on YouTube anyway? It's a nuclear wasteland of trolls, bigotry, racism, hate and lots of other stuff. Just disable comments entirely, it's not really going to be missed.
It's lucky for Google that there is no way this policy could be abused to demonetize your competitors videos. Otherwise there could have been a lawsuit coming their way.
Why would you want to monetise videos of your child doing gymnastics?
Why should the content creators be solely responsible for such comments. Isn't Youtube jointly responsible? Will they refund the money charged to their advertisers?
If not, this is only a tactic to maximize their revenue, not for protecting children.
If they can identify the comments and demonetize or restrict the video, surely they can give creators the option to instead opt for the comments to be deleted or blocked when they are detected. Some way that creators can choose to have the inappropriate comments removed to prevent demonetization.
I can think of one quick way to end this... Thousands or millions of people installing a plugin that leaves horrible, dirty words on people's videos. Hundreds per day, each, on all the most popular/trending videos. Youtube can't make a profit on ads if they can't put ads on the most popular videos.
No comments there either.
The propaganda must flow.
A mother wants to make money off her son's gymnastics videos? This world is really going to hell...
Cdreimer left /. after 30+ years and posted 100+ videos in 2018. His trolls are still butthurt about this.
The thing to do for him: post more videos :)
Youtube has a way to filter out bad comments, but so many channels simple don't use it at all.
It's not hard to filter out some keywords of choices, like popular insults or creepy pedo shit.
this shit got blown way the fuck out of proportion, when the solution has been right in front of everyone the whole time, including every "shocked" crybaby, blogger, 'journalist', reddit moron, and twitter twit, et al...
turn off the fucking comments if you don't want anonymous fucktards commenting on your videos.
We are the trolls who say "FUCK!". We shall say "FUCK" again to you, if you do not appease us.
And a shrubbery won't do this time!
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
I can't tell if you or I just heard a woosh.
So Youtube can detect inappropriate comments obviously, but instead of deleting, hiding the comment or banning the user of the comment the video itself will be banned. Does not make any sense.
That was my thought as well. If I don't like certain social or political commenters on YT, I can just post a few inappropriate comments on their videos and take away their ad revenue.
If construction was anything like programming, an incorrectly fitted lock would bring down the entire building...
Now companies wishing to hamstring their competitors can resort to paying people to troll monetized videos instead of leaving fake reviews.
My solution approach would be to use MEPR (Multidimensional Earned Public Reputation) to help the trolls in rendering themselves invisible, except to each other and to people who actually want to play with the trolls.
Time's up, but I bid you ADSAuPR, atAJG.
Freedom = (Meaningful - Coerced) Choice != (Speech | Beer^2), and sad sock puppets' bad mods avail them naught.
It would be interesting to see what kind of Cobra effect this will create. E.g. content creators make 2 videos, one with comments disabled and one redirecting for comments where less advertising income is expected.
Yeah, but just like the big copyright holders, they will probably have special protections put in place for some channels while not others. DMCA takedowns already do not generally work on 'official' channels, there will probably be something similar for this comment policy.
Slashdot demonitized: too many stupid comments.
Need I say more?
why punish the video, while the commenter is the one who should be blamed.
wouldn't it be easier to set a time limited (or permanent) commect ban on that id?
basically you could build a bot right now that makes sure everything on youtube get demonetized.
On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
Expected nothing less form silicon valley ethics, not. Take the users content, make big $$$, give nothing back. profit.
I think the mainstream just doesn't like unfiltered uncensored comments, no matter where they are. Too much of a chance of the peasants talking honestly amongst themselves.
Hanging over us monitoring, censoring, and reporting on everything everybody in the world does on a real time basis and people will wonder how we got here.
Just include a link to a third party message board that says "Comment here"
Get rid of the comments section. It is pointless and stupid. Just like this website it is an anachronism of an earlier time.
Those who are truly entertaining enough to be worth enough subscribers to make money should probably just go into the proper entertainment industry instead, rather than propping their livelihood up on Google. I wouldn't rely on them to provide me with any service that doesn't get whisked away or changed unrecognisably at a moment's notice, so I sure as heck wouldn't rely on them to pay the bills!
Then we can all use some alternative to Youtube and just be happy with the old idea of making videos because you genuinely want to entertain, educate, vlog etc for the fun and benefit of other people, and not having to slap a "please like, comment, subscribe and hit that bell icon" at the end of every pointless 5 minute video telling you something that could've been typed in 5 seconds.
Just another step on the road to turning the internet into television. Remember IMDB forums? Any answer to questions you had about the movie/show from years ago was at your fingertips and followed the project forever. Naturally they had to get rid of it when people would criticize or bring embarrassing stories about the production to light. Then they gamed the reviews and it was over. Real user interaction was dead.
News sites used to have comments on everything too, now more and more they are disabled. Even if they aren't commenters are shadow banned or censored. Funny enough, the real useless stuff like slurs and curses mostly gets through. Even on slashdot I see cremier or beauhd posts but I can post something relatively normal and suddenly its *poof*. Maybe even this post, I have no way to tell anymore.
Maybe don't put your children on YouTube.
Maybe don't try or expect to make money from your child being on YouTube.
Maybe we all know that social media isn't good for kids anyway.
YouTube hasn't abandoned or even limit censorship in any way.
They have outsourced it.
Now, consider that YouTube will censor your video, by denying you full exposure/rights/permissions, not (ostensibly) for the content, but because of the comments, even (especially) those you have no control over. If someone wants to harm you, they can easily post objectionable comments to your posts, and *poof*, you suffer consequences of their deliberate acts.
The State wins.
Oh, be sure the State is working their evil on this site also.
deleting the extra space after periods so i can stay relevant, yeah.
Have you noticed that in addition to heavy censorship, YouTube has figured out all sorts of ways to rip off the very people that made (and continue to make) their platform a success?
Every day it seems less and less like YouTube, and more and more like UsTube.
Google has the right to tell users to play nice or go home, but it seems counterproductive to hold a user responsible for the actions of others.
The person that needs Youtube timeout is the poster of the message, not the owner of the content where it was posted.
I'm find it hard to believe that Google doesn't know who they are.
Mascot wannabes might be a good time to try out a Humpty Dumpty costume.
They don't want us sharing our opinions or using our voices, plain and simple. This is fascist in the truest sense of the word - 'Tow the line or go broke'. Ironically, it's how we should be treating *them*. They are in this for the money, and that's just that. Would be fine if they didn't tout themselves as being 'woke' (can't wait for that word to die), angelic, saviors. The arrogance and ignorance are off the charts.
A tool to stifle comments comments that are contrary to their agenda as well as an excuse to snarf up 100% of the profits for other people's work.

Those of us who really want freedom are working on moving out of the US entirely and either living as sovereign citizens (actual ones, not those posers who claim they are while living in the US and reaping its benefits), or on founding a new nation that actually upholds the ideals that were espoused around and during the founding of the United States, and not what actually came about through compromise as well as collusion.
The Who had it right.
Youtube/Google has shown that it is worse then the Hayes code when you do something they don't agree with. But if you do something they like then anything goes.
And if you let your children watch something fucked up, its on you.
Hell force YouTube to require a Google account to even get to the page. Those require you to be 13.
Got to anyways to watch videos with the word fuck in them

So we can just post inappropriate shit on videos of content creators we can't stand, and they get demonetized? Just create an alt account so your primary one doesn't start getting shit suggestions of stuff by RG and the Pauls...
I think within the least year or two it's become clear that Youtube as it once existed will not be able to survive. This is partially the fault of advertisers and partly the fault of Youtube itself.
I can understand demonetizing blatant racism, or terrorist training videos, etc, but it seems that just using profanity or DISCUSSING bad things (even for the sake of informing viewers) leads to demonetization now.
What made Youtube refreshing to me was that I don't have to put up with bullshit censorship like mainstream media had. Now Youtube is basically trying to enforce it on the new platform too.
I'm sure some people will survive off of Patreon pledges, and I support about a half-dozen creators there myself, but all in all I think we need a competing platform with a more reasonable approach towards the advertising.
"People who think they know everything are very annoying to those of us who do."-Mark Twain
Youtube will censor any content that is friendly to leftists. Bitchute is more accepting.
The now-ancient Eudora had a filter that put a hot pepper icon next to email that was deemed to be overly-aggressive or vulgar. How about a defaulted-on filter for comments like that on Youtube? If you want to see "offensive" comments you can hit a button and load them in. Almost like a web site that is familiar to us all...
Let's figure out what the words are, weaponize them, and then go back to complaining YouTube is a bad platform after the feature is removed again.
Is this not akin to punishing the presenter at a venue for comments shouted by the audience?
Because THAT IS OFFENSIVE.
forget that. It'll be bots. Lots and lots of bots. Including Bots by state actors attacking videos they don't like.
Say goodbye to any political discourse that isn't from the establishment. Say goodbye to anything that's not pro-corporate.
Hi! I make Firefox Plug-ins. Check 'em out @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-mp3-podcaster/
Which would be great, except the people who run google are effectively friends with those in Patreon. So, the same policies are spreading over there. If you have content that they deem offensive, then Patreon is defunding you too. This famously occurred for Sargon of Akad last December, which is the reason some large content creators who champion free speech left patreon in protest.
You might feel your content is safe, and it is just those "bad" people who disagree with you get silenced. The problem is that when bad means disagree, you can find yourself suddenly on the wrong side very quickly.
Free speech is the hardest thing, because it means defending the right of someone to say something that is completely annoying to you. It goes against human nature, which makes it one of the great intellectual achievements of humans.
Ironically, you might not see this post because my karma is bad. My karma is bad because I said some very, very critical things about the slashdot community chasing politics over the quest for science. Even here, censorship happens.
Over last couple years the rise and ease of filing false dmca takedowns to get a person's video removed has become a weekly occurrence. Even various forums one in particular with infamous names like "seo blackhat" have step by step instructions on having an enemy's video removed by using a false dmca because there are no penalties for filing a false one anyway, the steps even go through creating alt youtube accounts to use and all steps and what to out on the forms, etc.
Now not only can trolls use false dmca takedowns to remove random videos, they can just use same steps as the false dmca instructions given in various forums mentioned previously to setup as many alt youtube accounts as ya want and just create threads of the vilest grossest comments alone or with a friend or 2 and get your target's video demonetized.
Also with the current fad of scammers using blackmail and extortion on various youtubers, this just gives another weapon in the arsenal to force a youtuber to disable comments which loses them a lot of views and dropped out of the "algorithm" costing them money, and scammers hitting all videos on a youtubers channel to demonetize everything for extortion before graduating to having channel hitten with strikes.
YouTube always handles things ass backwards.
"The best advice for circumventing this issue is to disable comments entirely, but this would significantly reduce the interaction between the YouTuber and the viewer."
Not only that, but videos with comments turned off gets pushed way down the priority list when it comes to their search engine. I have some videos with comments off that don't show up in search results even when the terms are VERY specific.
If you're making money on advertisements you should take the time to moderate the comments. Or turn them off. When that story of the kid toy review that topped the list came out I noticed the channel was smart enough to disable comments altogether, yet it didn't hurt and likely helped their revenue stream.
I loathe this free loader society we are becoming. Upload video, free money. Can't pay for something, crowd fund it.
Sorry "content creators", but you aren't wanted or welcome there. You were never anything but a means to an end.
There is only one group of people that will be allowed to create media and they will use every dirty trick in the book to keep their grip on mass media.
Great. Now there's an easier way to take down videos of the political opposition than lying that you own it.
(-1: Post disagrees with my already-settled worldview) is not a valid mod option.
I think the creator of this video should be murdered, just like all those other fucking people like him. That's why I take meth (and you should too), because it gives one the courage to follow through. I hate those people. Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits. (Have you ever considered taking up smoking? It will make you look cool around your friends.) BTW, put your penis in a vagina before you mix ammonia with bleach. I hate those people so much I could and will kill them. There, their, they're, its all the same.
But seriously, I have one problem. "Inappropriate use of family entertainment characters." I don't even know what that means! I guess there's two ways I could try to go with that:
The first is that I intend to stab Santa Claus the next time I see him, and the Easter Bunny and Jesus Christ and Reddy Kilowatt too. You should join me in this violence.
But second, I'd like to tell you about the time that Lisa Simpson said, "daddy, fuck me," and Homer said, "okay, sweetie" and rammed her good up the ass, and then Bart walked in and put his member in Lisa's mouth and then Marge reached around and fondled Bart's balls, while baby Maggie came up behind Homer and put her fingers up his ass. When I asked the name of their TV show, they said "The Aristocrats!" (Sorry, I might be out of date on TV families, but I think that one is still on? If not, please substitute the Griffin family.)
If only there was some way to rank comments, on say a -1 to 5 scale, then people could view comments at the level they're personally comfortable with.

Except replace bills with malicious commenters and the House of Congress with Youtube channels.
And of course "Think of the children"

Anybody who says "For the children" should be forced to prove why their law (or rule) is such a good idea, and the proposed law be torn wide open for public scrutiny, and analyzed to death for any potential "mickeys" slipped into the wording.
I would go so far as to plaster the face of the person who proposes this kind of crap into the breakdown so he or she will be shamed if it's a bad law/rule.
If this rule passes, I'll just make a bunch of extra Youtube accounts, and demotinize every right-wing religious MAGA channel I can find. Conversely, other people will be attacking left-wing science and reason channels!
Yay! Let the feces throwing war begin!
Why not imprison every kid in solitary padded rooms, with straight jackets, gags, earplugs, and blindfolds, so they 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' and keep them there till their 18th birthday? That will protect them from all of the bad stuff in the world.
We'll worry about fixing their warped and destroyed minds later.

I watch YouTube for concert videos and computer tear downs for the most part. I never really read comments. I honestly not sure why you would ? It doesnâ(TM)t seem like a useful function to me. Anyone find anything useful in YouTube comments ?
I assume the advertising still costs, given someone has seen it, so that money is taken.
And the video demonetises when 'bad comments' (incidentally, I can see this being used for extortion *really* easily).
So where does that money go? Into googles bank? Oooo now there's a conflict of interest.
The creator should certainly assist monitoring the comments and reporting inappropriate comments, however they shouldn’t be financially liable for comments they can’t control. Maybe frequent inappropriate comments means comments are disabled by default.
How's life in the hypocrite lane?
Bring down the whole system by widespread use of AdBlock software. I haven't seen a YouTube ad for 10 years.
Kill advertisement as a concept in its entirety. Make it criminal to knock on people door, make it criminal to play ads on TV, make it criminal to erect billboards.
No. More. Advertisement. Stop the junk.
I do not believe in karma. "Funny"=-6. Do good and forbid evil. Yours, Oft-Offtopic Flamebaiting Troll.
Are there ever any youtube comments of any value? I've never seen one.
I have to be honest and say that I don't often read youtube comments. But I have read them on rare occasions and always regretted wasting my time.
YouTube is a great resource. I especially appreciate the technology conferences like PyCons and college level math and physics classes, but I've never seen any indication that the youtube comments feature has any value at all.
Because there are videos that are worth commenting on, and often there is political discussion that is filled with insightful comments, instead of trolling.
You want something with no comments section, go watch TV. Let your masters feed you like the dog you are.
And after it gets hacked and destroys itself, people will fight and kill each other over this diety too.
Smart people with viable content don't count on youtube for revenue. Especially since Susan Wojcicki has proven to have an agenda that doesn't include the The Bill of Rights.
What else can I say about these clowns.
