YouTube's Community Guidelines System Is Garbage
Acts 17 Apologetics ^ | 2/26/19 | David Wood

Posted on 02/26/2019 8:24:28 PM PST by OddLane

Earlier today, Tommy Robinson was banned from Facebook and Instagram. YouTube won't be far behind. YouTube is removing more and more content based on false flags. Videos that contain absolutely no hate speech are being removed as hate speech, and creators that haven't violated any rules or guidelines are receiving strikes and having their privileges (e.g. livestreaming) revoked.

YouTube's Community Guidelines strike system is pure garbage. YouTube is also punishing content creators for comments left on their videos. Perhaps the YouTube Creator Academy can address these problems...

By November 2020 a Conservative/Nationalist will be an endangered species of Social Platforms. Too bad we don’t have a President or DOJ fighting this.

Released today from GAB, a new add-on.

VERY COOL.

Organizing Big Tech into a quasi-governmental institution with unwavering allegiance to the Democratic Party was Barack Obama’s crowning achievement as President.

I have no biz relationship with either Gab or Dissenter.

This latest Adpocalypse started over pedophiles lurking on family oriented channels and leaving lewd comments concerning children seen in video content. One particular Youtuber made light of it on his channel and it went viral. Major advertisors started pulling ads. Now, YouTube is using scorched earth tactics to ostensibly clear out the offenders by either demonetizing channels or flat out shutting them down if any offending comments are found or reported.

Lots of false positives being reported by content creators, and it is now easy to torpedo a channel you don’t agree with politically or for any reason by simply placing inappropriate comments against a video.

I hope FR figures out how to deal with gab and dissenter. Even some great FReepers think gab is evil because it allows all speech that is _legal_. But even in conservative land, one can’t say anything about “Jews.”

If the SPLC hates Gab and Dissenter, then for me that’s a plus.

I mean, they inspired an armed attack in DC on the Family Research Council.

In any major city there are dirty people on street corners shouting all manner of nutty stuff to themselves and it doesn’t cause me to collapse into a bag of nerves —I just walk on and ignore it; I’m an adult.

After a week or so of filtering you almost never see people like that again. Gab can never replace FR or even come close, it’s just the rich photo feature that I like (most Freeps are too old to know HTML and how to post pics).

Besides, on FR you do get nuts here from time to time and mostly it’s no problem, here. Even with no filter system it’s no problem; you cope.

Absolutely. BTW I dissented this post just for fun, even though I agree completely that YT’s “curation” (to use a word the idiots unfortunately discovered recently) is crap (to use a good old descriptive word).

At least one really epic freeper thinks gab is really really bad. Not going to ID him though. I respect him enough that I am watching gab with a wary eye.

But it remains that we need a truly 1st amendment place AND gab has the right enemies.

The main beefs about gab are
- allowing anti-Jew posts
- some pornography that slips through

Yet if the avowed ethic at gab is all legal speech, that’s how it goes. You don’t have to look at bad stuff.

robinson’s main speech on youtube was powerful. I can see why muslims complained and got him banned. Unfortunately his videos and news stories indicate hey is truthful. We can’t let truth be a standard now can we?

The social medias never go after the false case makers and trolls. Their reviews are an obvious joke when the actual offenders are never ounished.

There would be no conservative nationalism if not for Trump. Your head’s wedged.

Gab and dissenter have to carry their own comments. They are not forced on unwilling hosts.

Yes exactly. We seem to be in agreement. Hope there’s no misunderstanding.

It is always easy to say somebody else could have done it (whatever, anything important) once one person stands up and does it. You are completely correct about Trump.

But I think it’s important to keep in mind that this “movement” will continue and grow when he’s out of the picture. Anybody thinking about taking him out should think about that.

That isn’t what you said. You said too bad we don’t have a president fighting this.

Okay, you’re the leader. Get to work.
