Hello there guys and girls,
welcome to another monthly channel update of mine.
Originally this update was supposed to be released in October.
But I really feel like this should be out in September already because I am angry as
fuck.
Today I wanna talk about YouTube itself.
You know about the adpocalypse that happened a while back, some time in April?
Before all of this you could kinda calculate with a thousand views coming down to one dollar
in earnings.
That dropped massively with these changes.
For many creators the earnings halved.
Now, to me the revenue on YouTube isn't as important as it is to the guys and girls
living off of this platform.
Still, I find it very scary because we are now entering the realms of relentless censorship.
And before you wonder why I start this rant now, months after the adpocalypse started,
let me tell you why: The reason I'm talking about this is that near the end of August
YouTube added a new feature inside the video manager, showing you which of your videos
actually are not advertiser friendly.
And this just triggered me enough to make this channel update.
I found that around half the videos I created over the last years are now classified as
not advertiser friendly which directly correlates to the loss in revenue.
This just makes me wonder how do they even classify the content like this?
By the tags?
Because that would be super superficial.
They say in their guidelines that context is important in deciding if a video is eligible
for ads but how can they know the context if nobody, I repeat, nobody has ever seen
the video?
Right after upload a video gets automatically classified as ineligible for advertising so
it has to be the tags or something else.
So what I did is to just test it.
I uploaded the video "A Rich Man's Pleasure" and added the tags "bitch" and "bitch
cannon" in there because it says so in the video.
The context is satire.
So the point of the video isn't to actually be misogynistic, it's the exact opposite,
to make fun of rich people and misogynists.
But still, the video got flagged as not advertiser friendly.
Then I deleted the video and uploaded it again without including these two tags in there.
In fact, I used the same tags as in the video "The Truth About Chemtrails" which was
somehow advertiser friendly, despite it being a complete parody of all advertisements ever.
Still, "A Rich Man's Pleasure" was ineligible for advertising.
So how the fuck does the algorithm decide this shit?
Does the algorithm understand satire?
I don't think so because even most humans don't.
And how come that episodes 12 and 10 of Good Driving Bad Driving are eligible for ads while
episode 11 isn't?
I mean there are literally people being brutally run over by cars in every episode.
This just shows that YouTube does whatever it wants and the algorithm is seemingly random.
But of course there is this generous feature that lets you request a manual check of your
content.
But who the hell is gonna do that?
Especially if you have dozens or even hundreds of videos.
And then how long is it gonna take YouTube to make these checks?
Yeah...one week they say.
And here's the deal: You can only request a manual check of your video if it got a thousand
views within the last seven days.
This means you can't have your video checked before making it public.
Who thought of this???
WHY WOULD A CHANNEL UPDATE THAT DOESN'T CONTAIN ANY CUSSING BE INELIGIBLE FOR ADS?
This also means that if a bigger creator uploads a video and it gets flagged as not advertiser
friendly, he has to wait a whole week for the check.
By that time the bigger creators get a hundred thousand or more views.
YouTube is literally cheating them out of their money.
And small creators?
We don't even get a chance to apply for a manual check.
And if one of us is one day lucky enough that a not advertiser friendly video goes viral,
you get absolutely nothing for it?
Boom, one million views in a week and you're sitting there with fucking nothing?
They are punishing the people this platform was built upon!
Fuck.
You.
Tube.
Here's another fun part.
Quote:
"We can typically process videos within 2 hours after upload, but bear in mind that
a video's classification may change later based on how viewers engage with your video."
Unquote.
So does that mean if someone has dedicated haters and they really know how to make a
community go sour, the haters can actually change the status of the video and make the
creator lose revenue?
Are you out of your mind?
I just think that this whole system is ridiculously superficial.
Not advertiser friendly?
For whom?
If I make gaming videos there shouldn't be an ad for Christina Aguileras new fragrance
because it's not the right target group anyways.
In which case it doesn't matter if I say fuck two more times so it's 46 fucks in
this fucked up rhyme.
I think YouTube should have the data power to place advertisements with a better targeting.
Why would a company that creates, say, gaming hardware like MSI or Nvidia be afraid of advertising
on a Battlefield 1 montage?
They shouldn't care if the creator cusses from time to time or if people get shot in
a first person shooter.
And if they do, they have no idea how the gaming culture works these days.
Let's look at it this way: What happened to the assumption of innocence?
By automatically classifying content as not advertiser friendly you are assuming that
a creator is doing something bad or immoral right from the start.
They are putting us on the same level as terrorists, who rightfully so shouldn't earn a single
buck via YouTube ads.
By which criteria the almighty algorithm gets triggered remains in the dark.
This is just wrong.
Plain wrong.
I'm gonna repeat it once again: For me YouTube is not about making money.
But there are many people who depend on this income.
They have built this career for many years.
Plus it's about the principle here.
And I just wanted to finally let off steam about this massive pile of bullshit.
Let me know what you think and I will reply for sure!
Thank you for listening to this rant and stay tuned, whanowa over
