I've been hearing a lot of people, especially YouTubers, complaining under their breath about losing ad revenue, but I'm having trouble finding an explanation for it.

Pewdiepie said Nazi things, a bunch of advertisers freaked out and stopped putting money on YouTube affecting many, and some YouTube idiots are making claims that traditional media is trying to throw new media under the bus in an attempt to regain advertising dollars.

Advertisers don't want their ads appearing on offensive, crazy videos on youtube so youtube put in place a new policy that marks channels as advertiser unfriendly and those videos won't receive ads anymore.

And thus, shitty youtubers who make cancerous khantent are shaking in their boots because they won't be able to suckle the youtube teat anymore.

I dunno, I've seen some of my favourite YouTubers lose all of their ads over the last month. Maybe I have bad taste, but they all seem like good people that don't deserve to lose their income so suddenly.

I liked youtube better when everyone wasn't using it to make a quick buck anyway. :/ Now it is infested with cancerous videos with click bait titles, stupid pranks, toy reviews, giant surprise eggs, and giant gummy bottles.

Thank god for idubbbz.

But thankfully, idubbbz actually has a real job and doesn't support himself with youtube ad revenue. That's the difference between him and the ones bitching about this.

You do have to filter through a lot of garbage, but that's true for any entertainment medium. I view YouTube as a replacement for TV, along with Netflix, and given the (non existent) cost of watching stuff on YouTube, I'm happy with it.

Some idiot complained that a video was not ad friendly, and it was a video of a guy showing how stab proof vests are actually not stab proof. Which then some idiot reporter/journalist said that that guy is showing criminals how to kill police officers!

Only youtubers bitching about it are those with no jobs and live off youtube money. Everyone else who invested their money early on and work in addition to youtube like alot of fitness channels I follow didn't mind the cut.

Well the first part is right. The second part is idiotic. The issue is perfectly legitimate things are caught up in such filters and Youtube is apparently terrible at making clear to creators how their videos are flagged.

Nobody 'doesn't mind' making less money. And there's nothing wrong with living off videos and the like if you can. But it's an unstable platform and other revenue (patreon, merch, etc.) really is needed for any degree of security.

One of the problems with this is that Youtube isn't telling their creator's why their video has been demonitized, which has caused confusion on what is okay and what isn't

1) it was partially the media's fault in that case for taking things out of context (though he wasn't totally innocent, much of their 'evidence' was clearly no serious)
2) there were other factors, like ads showing up on violent or terrorist content

Basically these lazy Youtubers don't want to get real jobs so they get mad at their evil boss with the threat of ad loss.

Way to make even the most minor offenses into horrible abominations of mankind. Even channels who curse get affected by this, and who doesn't fucking curse nowadays?

I suppose I bit the bait though. Damn it.

Channels that talk about violence are affected too, even news channels, which makes no sense.
