Serious question: what is HTBQ+? Googling doesn't seem to turn anything up.
It seems to be a variant on LGBTQ. Except I guess with "Homosexual" replacing "Lesbian and Gay".
I think it is right to „soft“-censor in this way (i.e. the information is accessible but not promoted). Reality without sorting and filters would be inhuman because market incentives to grab people’s attention would maximally exploit our tribal instincts and thereby completely destabilize our societies. This is already happening and it needs to stop immediately.
> This will in turn lead to censorship of political ideologies, HTBQ+, mental health awareness, suicide awareness and prevention, etc. Sounds like a slippery slope argument.
Ironic that they're using Google docs platform to publish the research. Maybe the censorship effect is not advertent?
My content is clean and all of it is programming/tech related (programming tutorials and some Raspberry Pi stuff).
So if there is an algorithm it's really naive at this stage or it doesn't apply until you request manual review.
The other day I stumbled upon this project: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube It's a federated tube that uses ActivityPub and WebTorrent. I think this platform should be invested in and creators should consider moving. The interests of YouTube and its creators will never be entirely aligned.
However, to make videos with quality content at a reasonable frequency, many of these creators depend on YouTube for income or at least partial income.
Any P2P / federated service would have to find an agreeable way to A) send ads in a safe and private way to each viewer B) stop people from manipulating the system to game ads while accurately determining if an ad was viewed.
Every single video, without exception, that I've uploaded in the past few months has been demonetized within a day or two. Then I request manual review and they're monetized again within another day or two. My content is clean and all of it is programming/tech related (programming tutorials and some Raspberry Pi stuff). So if there is an algorithm it's really naive at this stage or it doesn't apply until you request…
* allow them to demonetize / ban / block videos for abuse of categorization
* train machine learning on the various categories
It's a lot more socially palatable for Youtube to say "Hey guys, we HAVE a blood and violence category, but you didn't use it for this video. So we'll punish you for that."
Instead, we get programming videos getting demonetized / blocked for god only knows what reason. That makes people made, and is bad press.
