YouTube is Removing Videos - Are You Affected?

[just Moto]

Last laptop I had took up 8 hours to render a 5-8 minute video on Premiere Pro, with 2 dedicated table fans trained on it to stop it from overheating!
So I figure I would need a pretty decked out laptop with 2G dedicated graphics card, 32G RAM, latest processor to render videos. These things run into the $3k on ebay. Gotta penny pinch now mate, don't know what the future will bring. Last thing I would want is to run out of savings and go knocking on Centrelink.

Yeah man, I understand. Hopefully it's sorted out soon enough. I'm still waiting to see if another boycott kicks in this week or today.

For future reference... current laptops will export 10-15 minute 1-1.5gb 1080 60fps edits in 15 - 25 mins! $1.8k - $4K+ depending. It can wait like you said though.

If you use final cut pro you can probably render 1080p at half time.

Wow, this thread is really busy.

Let's try to stay on topic as best we can:

• Videos getting deleted / channels getting terminated (related to the kids space)
  
• Kids channels issues (what is and not appropiate)
• Advertisers pulling their ads due to the inappropriate content on certain kids channels.
• The possible future consequences of the above for YT as a whole.

This is not a thread about vids getting deleted for copyright reasons or other non-related stuff. Also - For other offtopic chit-chat (IT issues, tourism etc lol), please start a thread in chillout or whatever relevant sub-forum. This is a very good thread. Let's keep it on topic please and the signal to noise ratio high

Moving on - I was watching "closing bell" on CNBC last night. (It's a daily show where they discuss the stock exchange, the economy, stock prices, investing, big business stories. It's a very popular show watched all over the world by people interested in buying stocks.) And yep, you guessed it - They did a slot on advertisers pulling their ads due to "inappropriate content" and content that was attracting "predators". Obv their main concern was the safety of children but they also discussed the possible financial consequences of the story ........ Put it this way, if you were an Alphabet shareholder (Google's parent company) watching the show, you'd be considering selling your stock which in turn would put more financial pressure on YT.

I also found an article on their website: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/22/reu...downs-as-concerns-about-kids-videos-grow.html

I was checking a few family vlogging channels, and it seems videos with topless babies in the pool, eating food challenges with gross and slimy foods, are allowed and monetized. I'm seeing a double standard - if you are a vlogging family it seems that things are ok - there was one video where the adult dressed up as a gorilla and scare the kids - I wonder if that is allowed on kids channels?

There's even a video with a tooth being pulled out from a very young child, and blood. Is this very different to the Toy Freaks video that cause such an uproar? And yes, ads were running in front of the video.

I'm fine with whatever policy Yt wants to apply, but it needs to applied universally.

More examples of child endangerment:

There's videos that depict that kids were left, and the family abandoned after Mom left. These appear to cause heightened emotional distress for the child, and are forbidden under the revised guidelines. There's videos where kids get in a taxi alone - don't even go into the dangers of teaching that to kids.

In my opinion I fully agree that it's a double standard and toy freaks did the same thing with pulling the tooth out in front of the camera. Feels like window dressing a bit toward the advertisers and angry mob parents.
I just checked one of the most popular family vloggers in the Netherlands and they have zero videos removed but loads of videos with small kids in bathing suits, walking around the house shirtless and filming the kids with underwater cameras and ads running all over.

Youtube has some very serious problem. Like the whole premise of it is actually pretty ****** up. It's like we're living in some Orwellian alternate reality - with Trump at the helm. God help us....

Yup, those family vloggers are full with that stuff and contain the same stuff that got kids videos removed the last week. This video for instance is using poop and the baby as clickbait to get into the video.

DCTC Toy Channel has lost around 3 billion views in a few days. YT is removing play doh stop motions featuring something like blood, pregnancy and so on...

Yep, the more I look, the more clickbait and now banned topics I see. Damn what a double standard!!

 

[KidsCorner]

Yup, very double standard. This one is interesting too, a child very visbile, text saying she’s 4 years old and a needle. And ads run on this!,,.... This stuff got whole kids channels removed the last week....
