Leave your thoughts below! This is totally different from my other videos but I felt this was something worth discussing. So many channels are now getting demonetized, forced to only release “PG” content, and YouTube is pushing creators to conform with what advertisers want - a safe, PG-rated youtube video that everyone and their child can watch. But what happens when this pushes out the creators that we’ve been watching for years and what will happen to the future of YouTube if people start leaving to go elsewhere? Let’s talk about this. Feel free to add me on Snapchat / Instagram: GPStephan
In the beginning, YouTube Algorithms were pretty relaxed about their ad revenue. Pretty much any channel could make money. And over the years, we’ve seen some amazing content creators flourish because they were able to focus on youtube full time. they developed teams of businesses around their channel to create some hilarious and entertaining content.
Then the adpolocalypse happened. For anyone who isn’t aware, youtube was placing ads on controversial content - when this was discovered, advertisers freaked and pulled their ads from youtube until hey figured out a system that worked to prevent ads from playing on less-than-friendly videos. Ad revenue plummeted and my favorite channels stopped posting. It’s important to keep in mind that youtube is a business and they want to keep their advertisers happy. that’s their source of income for a website that costs them a TON of money to host.
Then, advertisers slowly came back and things appeared to go back to normal. Until now. YouTube has passed even stricter bots that demonetize anything that could be controversial or not advertiser friendly. The problem is that YouTube’s new algorithm in 2017 is so aggressive in what it thinks as unsuitable. Even though it’s a self learning program, we’re not sure at what point it’ll stop and how many people this will effect.
The real issue here is censorship. It’s allowing someone to create amazing content and create a living from expressing themselves without fear of not earning money - and making sure they’re able to recognize which video is actually “not advertiser friendly,” and which is okay. Certain words are triggers, but also certain titles - even if they’re totally PG. Who knows what the future of YouTube is, it sure isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, but a decline like this could force a TON of people to look elsewhere for their video-watching entertainment.

DEMONETIZED??? D-L, U-S.
I want youtube's Extinction. team are motherf***ers
It was only a matter of time. And all creators understand it, they are all after ad revenue and sponsors just like small channels did in the early days of cable. People say they don't want ads, but that's what finances the channel.
and new youtube vidoes they fucking sucks not funny and not good but noting of bullshit that they suck and i dont fucking care about becaue i dont watch the fucking news a lot so fuck the new vidoes on youtube becaue they fucking sucks and its boring to watch it so fuck them

Its not really thats much fun to watch on youtube anymore, its sad that youtube deosent care to fix it either. They just want that money
YouTube started going downhill when they teamed up with Google!!
This is unacceptable. The review process should be driven by humans, for example by reviewing reported videos. Freedom of speech is at stake.
youtube will die out
And YouTube wants people to buy their tv system XD. It probably doesn’t even have “The Science Channel” or “Animal Plant” because they are deemed to “graphic” or to “offensive”.
youtoo
leaf a like
Thanks for watching! I know it’s a little off topic but felt this was something worth bringing up and discussing since this seems to be such a widespread issue, and I'd hate to see YouTube slowly drown itself in "PG-ness" along the platform. Feel free to share your thoughts, as well! Back to uploading my normal real estate/money videos in the next day 🙂
