#82What I find interesting is when you have parental controls on, and your playing a kids video, the advertisements are not something a kid should be shown.
Agree with this. It makes me very angry.

How on earth can parents willingly expose their children to any kind of advertisement is beyond me. Adblocking is a must. Especially at such young age, you should know and control all manipulative media your kid consumes.
You mean like TV ads, billboards, bumper stickers, magazines, newspapers, NPR sponsors, ....

Advertisers from France will never agree with advertisers from America on what is controversial. Not even speaking about advertisers from Saudi Arabia.
Excellent point. Saying vagina in the Netherlands isn't a big deal, in the US the FCC would be calling your boss.

Some serious double think right there.
What a shitty fucking law.

#86It's (un)surprising how fast YouTube responds to this somewhat mild criticism, while holding steady on their radio silence regarding the large amounts of huge creators who are getting demonetized and community strikes against their accounts. Nearly every big channel I watch has posted a video complaining about it in the past 2 months, with many just this week. Gives you some good insight on where their priorities are…
What communities are you seeing this in? In the firearms/gun rights communities, it seems like the prevailing opinion is that YouTube is specifically targeting them based on political bias. I've not really considering it much, but your comment makes me wonder if their issues are part of a much larger pattern.

In my jurisdiction, any and all advertisement aimed at children is illegal, full stop. It continuously amazes me that this is not the norm in the rest of the world.
Where is your jurisdiction?

A couple channels I used to enjoy have clearly limited their swearing, probably because they are afraid of losing their livelihood. I just see this as yet another reason to have adblock installed. Hope you're learning to enjoy cable TV again, folks!
YouTube hosts, monetizes, and promotes their content for free, and you're upset they can't curse as much anymore. People like Philip Defranco, while still pointing out the damage YouTube is doing to the ecosystem, monetize outside of YouTube to maintain control of their product. If the people you watch don't have a Patreon / Sponsors / merch, they are willingly submitting to the YouTube monetization algorithm. It fee…
Swearing seems such a light reason though

You have a pretty curious definition of "for free" here.
My understanding is that YouTube sells billions of dollars of advertising against this content and keeps quite of bit of that money for themselves.
