then don't fucking label your stuff for kids, it's not hard dude
this youtube change literally affects a very small amount of creators, and it's mostly creators who no one wants anything to do with
and no one is going to get charged with a $42,000 fine. the most that's going to happen is you get a video removed, or a strike on the channel.
Its not that easy. You have to label it correctly. But nobody knows how to. Animation and video games are for kids. But mature games are not. But they cant tell if its mature from the thumbnail. So, what do you label it as. You could probably label it correctly, and fight it in court. But that still eats up time. And money, if you get lawyer. And its not youtube thats fining people. Its the FTC or whatever. Who plans on doing it. They even sued YouTube for 170 million recently. It actually affects everybody...
It's pretty easy when you understand how law works.
You make a video and mark it as you see fit, if they complain you indicate how you marked it. Until they create guidelines, they basically have to accept your defense unless they have good reason to believe you are acting with malicious intent.
Basically you're fine unless you're trying to skirt the law so you can target ads at vulnerable people.
They do have guidelines of some kind. But theyre vague and not exactly right. Things like video games and animation are said to be for kids. Or if theyre are cartoons, or have toys in theyre likeness. And stuff like that. Its basically makes it to where most things could be considered for kids. Which contradicts things like game ratings. Or tv shows and movies rating...
Could being the operative word.
If they took you to court for monetizing a review of Deadman Wonderland, they would be laughed out of court. ---
