Yeah first it was larger corporations taking the lead of YouTube then demonetization and then Article 13 then corporations beating PewDiePie, Then Coppa and now they are taking ad revenue from you tubers in the U.S.A
and as you said he's the poster boy, I am 100% sure YouTube knew it was fake (there's no way they didn't) and went along with it because the controversy helped pull people to YouTube. Explains so much
Pretty sure it's the algorithm which just makes boring and bland YouTubers with these fake lives as the center of attention, while original content creators are pushed away or sometimes outright censored in very extreme cases.
The true horror of digital censorship is that it can be perfectly subtle. That in a vacuum of information you might not even have a suspicion that it's happening. Your words don't have to be stricken from the world, only contained, and the effect is the same. You don't have to be 'punished', only held back.
And you'll never know for sure, if it's because no one was interested, or because someone was, only in seeing that your words didn't reach the right ears by curbing your ambition.
For a miniscule number of people to control so many more in this way, is a horrendous prospect.
Its the year 2069 google controls all earth.. We are enslaved and sent to make their ugly fucking google glasses, robots roam free in place of the humans that are now made to work till exhaustion

2089: ALL MINECRAFT CHRISTIAN SEVERS SLAVE ALL HUMANS UNDER THEIR PROFANITY RULE IT IS ALREADY HAPPENING TO YOU Ninja dino
* Early-mid 2017: [what you said] One day in the middle of 2017: Trump/Kim Jong Un kept escalating on twitter like autistic kindergardners fighting over a toy, and now most of the world's population is dead or will die within the next couple of months because of the thermonuclear holocaust.
I agree. I have a 5-year-old little sister who is mentally addicted to these types of videos, and she's turning out very spoiled, wanting more toys every day. She is also EXTREMELY agressive and WILL throw her scissors at you if you take anything that's hers. She can be cute, but also very spoiled, and having a drunk attitude towards you if you get her annoyed anyhow.
I have watched all your newer videos considering sensitive topics yet I have never seen any sort of recommendation towards your channel and that's coming from a guy who actively tries to discover good new videos on a daily basis. Instead I get recommended streams, vevos, random russian videos, trending videos, random let's plays, songs that I have already listened, random vine refugees and other rather irrelevant garbage. I don't mind the system favoring certain things, but this is just forcefully preventing people from discovering videos they want to see.
I'm the same as you, except youtube also removed my ability to dislike things. Whenever I like things I see the like stat increase, but whenever I dislike nothing happens.
One where if something is going to get demonitized it's because the community wants it. There should be a feature where veiwers can say this needs to get taken down and stuff, for example if somebodys videos has 50% of veiwers disliking it and reporting moderators will look into it.
Micheal•Bean That Is A Good Idea, But Has It’s Flaws, Take A Peek At A Jake Paul Video. You Can See The It Has Massive Amounts Dislikes, And The Comments Are Usually Hating. A lot Of People Want To Flag His Videos And Get Rid Of Them, But Other People Like And Enjoy Them.
I Like Spaghetti! I suppose, however take age of those supportive veiwers into account. If I owned a large video platform I would make the age requiremnt more strict. 6-10 Year olds shouldnt be watching spiderman x elsa or swearing and innapropiate users like Jake and Logan Paul. I hate seeing 7 year olds wherever I go screaming "Yo Bro, have you seen the latest dope shit Jake Paul posted? It was fucking awesome."
Micheal•Bean It wouldn't work because people lie about their ages anyways. There's no way to enact strict rules against 6-10 year olds without verifying an account which would disincentives viewership.
SAMwolf if YouTube has no competition, there's no corporate REASON to get their shit together. If a monopoly does something the public doesn't like, the public can't take their business elsewhere. The monopoly still gets money and is satisfied
+Michael•Bean Well, people are supposed to be at least 13 years old in age in order to have a YouTube account (in according to the "Terms of Service"), but many people (young kids) lie about their age when they sign up for a YouTube account; so...
+The Very Edgy Yoshi Well, that website's server isn't working properly there, so I can't watch *ANYTHING* on that video-sharing website! Therefore, it mostly certainly isn't a viable alternative to YouTube... 😞😞😞
There's a site called vlare that's new that one of my favorite you tube poopers (captin dukturd) moved to vlare only has a small problem of randomly shutting down and other glitches but that's because it's new and it's servers arn't as strong as you tube's
Micheal•Bean Michael: makes really good idea Yes: Your idea is cool but it may be bad, just think about the Jake Paul videos? Michael: Okay, but 6-10 year olds shouldn’t be watching Spiderman-Elsa videos taking the insults from the videos therefore I will make the requirement to have accounts on my platform more strict. Me: Amateurs. Yes and Michael: WHAT WAS THAT, PUNK? Me, not even supervised and has the sheer willpower to control what I am watching and acknowledge that Spiderman Elsa videos are bad: AMATEURS!
@Creachure I was going to make a response for this person (which now that I think about it, POSTED THIS COMMENT TWO YEARS AGO) but nevermind, i'm too exhausted for this stuff
What I was going to write:
"wow so original, calling someone a dead weight subscriber when:
1. (assuming they are a subscriber) are obviously" (I stopped writing)
How do you know that? Did youtube tell you it was because of the word 'bad' in the title? Do they tell people why they take videos down? Did they ever? Why out of allllll the channels who have videos with "bad" in the title, they chose yours to take down? That makes no sense whatsoever and it honestly sounds like a cope. You're lying or wrong.
Ironically, this video was suggested to me. That's how I found your channel in the first place. That's like prohibiting handguns to give away rifles the next day.
+Groverkiin Muppetborn No, you're just not being realistic. You can still earn a living with Patreon and fulfilling a niche market that relatively few people want, but want much more and so are willing to pay for it.
Thank you for never accepting mediocre as okay. Thank you for fighting for quality content. Thank you for not being blindly ignorant like the rest of the users.
9:42 "Is this setting a dangerous precedent for content creation on YouTube?" - said almost exactly a year prior to Mumkey's channels being both taken down. Emp was definitely onto something... as well as the rest of people who were talking about that problem. It's a shame we couldn't do much about it anyway
Holy shit! You uncovered something big. But before I use this to my advantage I have 2 questions. 1. Does this "swearing bot" just look at captions or can it hear words as well as captions? 2. Are they going to remove the "YouTube advertising" view from videos just like they did with the codes because you uncovered it?
The rot of humanity, caused by malicious abominations of immense power, is built on sand. The only reason why these powers do not topple is because the sands listen when they tell them to be stone, don't be a uniform rock, indifferent from the other stones, be sand, a separate entity in charge of itself, but still part of the whole, the whole of humanity.
kai crenshaw Agreed! Usually I would call bullshit on the greedy corps argument, but I genuinely think that companies like Disney, Comcast, and Verizon are heartless.
This happens to me too! And I am a small I mean SMALL channel. The videos that are being demonized are simple speedpaint videos with mostly instrumental music playing in the background. Like you mentioned, my videos get demonetized before I even monetize them.
From Meme supreme to Public justice warrior. Thank you my friend. You are truly a vital part in the stability of this website. Well... at least the public side at least, the corporate side can eat a french revolution sandwich for breakfeast.
Been saying this for years, we need a new platform. Youtube will continue to do whatever the fuck it wants because it has a monopoly and people are helpless to defend themselves.
hell yeah, and i would be on board with whoever makes that new platform, i'd gladly move my videos elsewhere, because youtube no longer cares about the very foundation it sits on, channels like mine are too small to matter, according to youtube, and therefore i am meaningless, sigh, wish someone would make a new platform, youtube is on its way out
This video has honestly aged really well, the 3 questions you posed 9:50 are just as relevant today as they were in 2017. It's honestly really disheartening to go back and see what people were warned of, and how most of it has already affected us in the present.
"YouTube advertising" normally appears when your video is played on another video as an ad, but since this vid was not monetized nor advertised through YouTube advertising, this seems really suspicous, and the theory about a random YouTube employee/upper management watching this video makes sense. Another theory is that YouTube glitched out and played your video as an ad on someone else's video (probably 1-6 times, accounting for 5 second ad skip time)
Now, nearly 4 years later, YouTube has decided to stop doing Rewind videos altogether. They claim it is due to issues of scope and internal problems, but it’s hard to assume the issue didn’t have ANYTHING to do with year upon year of overwhelming backlash.

Mario37519 For some reason in my comment section a few comments from other people are not there. I didn’t delete them and I replied from the notification, but if I click it again I can’t see the comments.(there was swearing in them but I didn’t delete them)
Well, if someone were to band together a ton of huge YouTubers and get them to temporarily private and unlist all videos, it would cause YouTube to lose all profit until complying with our demand of change. It would essentially be a workers union, except on the interwebs. The main difficulty would be convincing people to risk their job for a protest that might not even work, however.
[And yes, the edit was adding the ‘however’ at the end.]
People keep saying this but dont understand that youtube doesnt make money. It has never turned a profit since Google has owned it. It's another extension of Google to get personal information from you. What your interests and watch habits are, and your lifestyle if you upload videos of yourself. They sell that info to companies and run ads on channels to recover some of the cost. There is no way to make a free website that will pay its content creators. That's if you could even get s partners to run ads on your site because sjws will just say youre a racist and hateful video site and get you blocked from the major financial institutions.
I'm so happy that this video currently has 666k views. I am willing to take all the help we can get, and I'm pretty sure God and Satan are both getting punished by YouTube about equally these days. It's just like the US and the USSR teaming up again, boys
No one but the companies think "Omg, coca cola on an isis video? I WILL NOT BUY COKE ANYMORE" if anything it probably makes me want to go get one in the fridge.
I can kinda understand the point of the isis stuff, but just normal swearing, i don't get that. If anything it makes more sense to appeal to the audience, considering people that watch more explicit content are most likely older, and therefore have more money to spend on products.
yeah like, i see an ad for netflix on a video that has things that well, i dont like to think about very much. and you know what i go ahead and want to watch even more netflix does netflix support racism, violence, and racist violence? no
pyropulse Coca-Cola probably still makes the same amount of money or more, even without youtube coca cola is everywhere and people who watch youtube will still buy it. As for Pepsi and other soda companies, I would say the same thing.
'wow some small youtuber SWORE and our ad shown there! Our marketing is absolutely ruined and no one will buy our products ever again! Time to pull all ads!'
@Orange Creamsicle right if everytime I reached for a root beer or dr pepper and a man came crashing through my wall like the koolaid man saying "drink a fucking coke dude" I'd never forget to reach for the powerful refreshing taste of a frosty can of coca-cola.
I almost wonder if there’s a way to disupport super safe friendly videos in order to reinstate revenue and curb the censorship.. it’s subtle aswell making it even more dangerous..
Honestly, not putting your ads on controversial videos convinces only 5-year-olds and old ladies that don't understand how the Internet works. No executive decided to put the ad there, they just decided to give the ad to YouTube to broadcast on whatever video people happen to be watching. I don't get how that could be seen as the vompany supporting the videos they literally had never seen in their lives.
It's possible that, if a video contains copyrighted content, the copyright owner will allow the video to stay up on the condition that it has ads on it and all revenue from those ads goes to the copyright owner.
@Le Bonk EmpLemon and CGP Grey talk about this (I think) and it honestly sounds like a good idea but I would say more of a 60-40 split of the money with the majority going to the OG content creator

Next up "EmpLemon linked to far right extremists banned on all platforms, because autoplay button sits on the right"
If a new website has a layout similar to how it was back in 2010 on youtube I'll gladly jump ship since this website will still continue to screw over its creators.
This video is really intersting, and shows how scummy YouTube really is. The way they say you can upload what you want aslong as you don't support hate speech, it's all good. But it's not, they censor it, and delete it because of the language, and subject matter. The advertisers are just as scummy by saying "We can't show our ad's on videos that mention the Las Vegas shooting, unless it's Jimmy Kimmel, and or it's a live CNN broadcast". It's complete horse shit, and YouTube needs to check what the fuck they're doing, and just stop going as far as they are for censorship.
I am somewhat under the rug recording my daily life at work and uploading the videos to YouTube each day privately with the intention of making everything public much later in life, perhaps in a few decades. It's the definition of *"broadcast yourself"*, yeah?
The fact that YouTube might censor me if someone or myself happens to naturally curse in my videos is concerining. I am going to seriously consider using another website, or at least be uploading to more than one website.
YouTube and archiving the real world became unfriendly recently.
NationOfOranges696 scoffs They don't really care about being "Family-Friendly". If they did, then the CP and Spider-Man/Elsa videos that infest this site would've been axed long ago.
It also seems like there is a major bias towards left leaning channels when controversy is a factor. It seems like conservative channels are the only ones being targeted.
YouTube just booted your video from recommendations? That's just despicable on YouTubes part... I think that this censorship should not exist, no matter what you upload, as long as no one is getting seriously injured or killed and it contains NO SEXUAL CONTENT (YouTube can't even keep porn off of its site, gg), and contains warnings if it contains non-sexual mature content. All videos should be allowed equal opportunity to profit and gain ad revenue. Some people need to get fired, either for the lack of control over their own algorithms, or for outright rigging YouTube in various ways.
I hope everyone on this platform watches this. This is one of the more important videos on the topic and I sure as hell hope it doesn't get censored like that.
The problem is that youtube doesn't recommend the videos, which is debatable as to whether or not it's censoring free speech. Also what the fuck kind of example is that
I have this issue as well. Even though I’m kinda new to content creation, I will never get monetized on YouTube, because I want the freedom to say what I want. I won’t say anything crazy like nazi stuff but I want to say what I feel and when I want.
And now YouTube rewind 2018 is the most disliked video on YouTube. 2019 rewind was basically a top 10 list. It wouldn't surprise me with how bad 2020 is, that it's rewind will be even worse.
I've been watching nothing but your vids for the last two-three days, and I still have to navigate back to your page to find a suggested I haven't seen. How low does YouTube keep going? You think they'd be at the bottom by now but they're still finding new ways to screw over the only good parts of their shoddy website.
This is crazy. From my experience with Youtube insiders (Employees and volunteers acting as supposed 'helpers') there's a seriously closed culture and a really unusual culture of open denial at Youtube: in terms of how they face the public. The lack of honesty combined with the total denial of reality (and of the evidenced experiences of users) creates a mood that seriously feels Orwellian...
They use gaslighting too. If you suggest this kind of thing (the suggestion algorithm being based on monetizability, or that it gets abused by people with access for reasons of censorship) they'll just insinuate that you're crazy for thinking that a corporation would want to grow richer.
Is history being rewritten? Are words being used to be confusing and contradict each other? Does Youtube spy on you 24/7? Do they remove your account and videos that they don't agree with and pretend you never existed? It is not Orwellian, it is just ignorance and refusal to accept mistakes. It could end up being Orwellian though.
I have an alternative explanation - views have a stochastic element, and you were unlucky. Not to discount the possibility that you were censored, but this could easily happen by chance alone. There're so many content creators out there, someone's going to think they're being censored even if they're not. Probably quite a few people will.
it got sandbagged, simple as that. Styxhexenhammer666 pointed out that there is an invisible blacklist for certain youtube channels who commited thought crimes. if these channels put any videos out, they get demonetized by default shortly after, if they are not flat out globally demonetized forever. some of them even during just the video upload. theres a whitelist as well for corporate channel, which basicly makes them immune to getting demonetized or flagged. Ever.
WHEN THE2018-06-29 01:53:13 (edited 2018-06-29 01:53:29 )
I firmly believe that the golden age of the internet has come to an end a long time ago (Couple years or so), and people trying to postpone their realization on the matter has, sure, made some gems of artwork that would otherwise not happen, but it still is the reason for 2 different likely outcomes: 1. the golden age of clarity: this would happen shortly after, and hints of it coming into being are already in play. For example: Channels like EmpLemon and topics pointing out flaws in big companies. One day, a short time later, these intellectuals will become the dominating majority of the internet, and successfully overthrow assbags like Youtube. 2. The dark age of the internet: Signs of this are also coming into play, and... it's not looking good. One day, even if it is a minority, more and more people will realize exactly what is happening. The internet will stop trying to, say, exceed limits and stuff like clickbait videos and spam will either cease or just be ignored. The sad thing about this future is, that the longer we try to postpone actually realizing what is to come, the longer it will take for another golden age of the internet.
1) It should just have a warning on it. Just go watch the majority of youtubers. particularly the more popular ones and you will find swear or have done controversial things at some point. 2) If its controversial it need to be talked about. If no one talks about it, nothing is learned 3) Yes as it will become much more dull. All the more memorable videos have some type of drama attached to it. Or are just inherently controversial [Winnie the pooh satan, your dogs a nazi etc]
THIS IS just THE MOST DEEP VIDEO ON YOUTUBE. YouTube was always just been upload, but lately its just been hey, censorship and all that. It's so bad, and it just removes the point of being on YouTube, to have fun. It has been overrun by big corporations, trying to grab a share of YouTube, and individual creators being absolutely MURDERED just by the search results, honestly I feel like moving to Vimeo, this has gotten too chaotic for me. See you later, only big YouTubers can get their way, some of them are good, but most of them are Fortnite youtubers.
This is horrible. YouTube creating a seperate bot SPECIFICALLY to censor videos, and not telling people about it (not to mention hiding evidence) is a dangerous turn for the worse.
Well youtube just recommended me to your channel after I watched one of your videos at random 3 months ago. They aren't suppressing your content as much as they are other youtubers/very specific key words
I think it'd make more sense to say that, rather than them recommending it less despite there being no monetization, that may have been why they recommended it less compared to the competition. No monetization means no money for them, so why would they recommend that when they could recommend a similar video that makes them money? That's just my take though...
I find it odd how TF2 went from a youtube blacklisted topic to being reccomended more than expected. ive seen a SFM vid in my feed many many times without actually watching any content that is related.
Well if you want to know something. Apparently Youtube doesn't scan thumbnails unless it is over 10 minutes long. There is a youtuber called Reactor and you can see it on his twitter. He is finding a lot about the youtube bots right now and how to do stuff to get past it.
Welcome to the new SJW friendly Youtube. Where even saying something like men and women having differences in interests and career choices is enough to get you fired from Google.
from what i understand everything that everyone says could be true because they have the same cause of being inappropriate. You get demonetized for the same reason the reach goes down.
emplemon, your content will always be great, i want you to succeed over and go against the odds, you've done it before and i believe you will do it again. keep spreading the word YOUTUBE HAS BECOME AN EPIDEMIC!!
I'm late to watching this video it did show up in my suggestions but that doesn't mean I disagree youtube it doing some fishy things to earn more money also I think this also correlates with the sensitivity of this age they are promoting popular videos from popular channels to get more money and hiding this they don't want us to know 2017 made this world terrible but actually there is nothing else to say I think the internet is dying. at least 2018 has some cool movies coming out.
I don't think you're right when you think this was intentional. When u think about it, the "algorithm" is just a huge neural network, and no matter how you train a neural network, there will always be some weird, unpredictable behavior... Although theoretically you might be right, i think it's not probable.

It's rediculous, because even if I wanted to say "The Na zis were very bad people," that would still get demonitized by YouTube's bots.
Maybe people were bored by how many youtubers milked youtube rewind with videos and wouldn't care about your 21 minute video because they have already seen many about it, and only care about the ones with 3 minutes. Your most viewed video was about a topic that wasnt as popular as youtube rewind. Please tell me where I am wrong
This is nothing new, many channels went trough that, the far as I can see it since the days “leafyishere” had his boom, no one showed the engraved code since it was honestly obvious YouTube did something, anyway I don’t think people should support YouTube anymore, bitchute is probably the second best option, problem is it’s kinda hard to navigate until you get used to it
6:29 Oh, they were replying to Kwebbelkop! It feels kind of odd when you happen to see a YouTube channel that you had fond past memories of being mentioned in a video by pure chance.
If it's any comfort, Emp, I you d you through the Leafy video. The corporate overlords are certainly willing to let people discover you - and since subscribing the majority of your well received vids ARE bubbling up in my home page.
I stopped using Facebook when they made it clear that I wasn't allowed to use the platform to criticize itself. It was also obvious posts were being shadow banned. Delete your social media.
#Emplemon I am with you man it’s not fair how we’re spending a life time in front of our computer watching each and every other YouTuber get demonetized,agerestricted,and then terminated it’s not our fault some of us are not kid or family friendly it’s the parents fault because they so careless about their children’s future that they have to attack any company they know that are not family friendly because they are stupid enough to fight the people in companies who make shows,games,and movies with adults content even though they didn’t do anything to harm them.
Welp, time to move to Vimeo....But in all seriousness, it doesn't surprise me that YouTube is doing this. The mass consumption of media and YouTube's role as a primary provider of said media has made YouTube really self-conscious of their image as company. Hell, my mom who is a teacher for a Christian school was talking about how their working on implementing YouTube into the school's curriculum. While I do think that's a good idea, it'll only make things worse for us in the long run as more and more teachers across the country start finding the less "civil" side of YouTube. It's only a matter of time before YouTube becomes the next face of big corporate television. One of two things needs to happen, YouTube needs to stop giving a fuck about 75% upwards of their new normie audience or a new site must be created to replace YouTube.
Watching this after rewind 2018 was dropped and just laughing at people being happy at 2017 being 25 most disliked when 2018 hit #1 with the collective effort of everyone who hates YT
I've been censored too and it sucks, for all of 2018 my channel's videos were getting false flagged and either age-restricted or a strike against me, if I was "lucky" it'd "just" get demonetized. I got my channel back in May after a couple hours of it going down then lost it in August what I thought was for good after my appeals were rejected. I just make weird science videos so there was nothing to censor (I even had the "don't try at home" disclaimer). Unfortunately they didn't see it that way and even though I got my channel back, I lost over 150 of my videos. Many of my friends have been censored as well.
I came from the unknown side and because I am from the unknown side this is my first time watching a video from emp and it was good I think because people like your videos they should have it go into there recommendation box not just have to be blocked from people who like you videos and be able to be accessed by the unknown people like me this is my opinion so it's ok if you don't like it.
Oh, they are getting their shit together, only that it benefits their interest, not the rest's. Youtube is a private enterprise, it always was and will continue to be, and they are doing everything in their power to min-max profits. They have decided that free speech and meta-discussion is both non-profitable and harmful for them, so instead they are re-designing their platform to benefit from lazy parents that leave their children to watch Elsa spanking Spider-man, and people that share the latest harmless, bland Trending #1 hit with their peers.
We have no right to be entitled, we were never the primary demographic. Morally it may seem wrong, but as a business they have their shit as together as they can.
My thought about this is that it's probably not 100% YouTube fault. What i think is that they set the algorithm to maximise profits, and the algorithm saw that demonetized videos are less profitable, so it doesn't recommend it
But they know what is does, and they did nothing to stop this, so they're faulty
Twice in the past few weeks I got community guideline strikes for one of my playlists. It was for analysis of some of my favorite sci-fi novels. There was no explanation for the strikes.
Steven Villman2018-10-03 06:39:22 (edited 2018-10-03 06:52:28 )
Translation: at least one of us YouTubers ABSOLUTELY*NEEDS* to form his or her own video-sharing website as a *VIABLE* alternative to YouTube, as YouTuber is NO LONGER safe for us to express ourselves without undue, unfair censorship from Google (the owner of YouTube)!!!
We just found out about YouTube's secret rating system. It chooses videos that won't get recommended and videos that will. That one wasn't getting recommended.
I'd say excluded ads was demonetization V1, the ratings were V2 and the scores were the latest version. I wouldn't be surprised if they sneak another version out this year.
YouTube needs to change its ways before 2020, although that's 2 years away its also going to be the very year that we can finally say goodbye to Adobe Flash Player as it'll be just downloads in our control panels at the year of 2020 that will no longer matter in terms of if you want to watch a YouTube video on the Internet, that's because people were discussing that the Internet security teams stated that Adobe Flash Player isn't doing as good as it used to be, that not only was the program known to be easy to crash but it also was filled with security bugs, people worldwide assumed for years that you need this program inorder to play videos anywhere if not just YouTube at all and that if you didn't have it installed yet they will show that error message in the sites that say you are in need of Adobe Flash Player to play the video file format supported by it, that's not really the case though, that's just because back then whatever sort of Internet browser you used then probably didn't support on their very own without the need of a download the video file playing formats others do though today.
That said that's the real reason as to why you cannot just immediately play a video on a certain web based Internet browser, some may not even support video file formats just yet and are awaiting that kind of configuration by those Internet browsers creators, this is something that a very large portion of the Internet back then didn't know yet, sometimes even today though the same problem still exists showing a error on websites or by computer error windows stating that the site your on besides YouTube attempting to play a video from those other sites don't support certain video file formats as well, they may even say while although you have Adobe Flash Player installed that you need it installed as if its a bugged message on the site or an error message your computer may show someday, that said the video may not even be on the site anymore besides its thumbnail being available somewhere in the Internet where it'll display a image of the video before its played only and when you click the video however it may be deleted, corrupted, the site your on may not even have been configured properly to handle playing videos at all, so with that said, there's still sites that are still today showing advertisement images, or video thumbnails that don't have anything to get/see from after clicking them other then the possibility that clicking them may be putting your security of your computers hard drive at some risk with hackers who hack those adverts/thumbnails a certain way to be able and brick your PC's or perhaps steal your passwords to sites, credit card information etc...
i havent had flash player installed for 5 years, you haven't needed it for YouTube for about that time, and twitch just recently switched to html5 too.
the irony of my situation here is that my youtube homepage wouldn't shut up about this video until i finally gave in and watched it. this video has been everywhere in my suggested videos, and ive had nothing to do with this channel in all the time ive been on youtube x3
I first discovered your channel from the behind the meme thing, after that I checked out som of your poops and liked them so I subbed. It's possible that I've been missing them but I haven't seen a single one of your videos since then besides this one.
holy shit. good work finding that “YouTube Advertising” thing, man. funny enough, i found this video through my recommendations. i hope you’re doin good, mate.
I know this is late but I've seen so many channels having their videos being demonetized even though there wasn't anything with "sensitive content" in them.
I've been watching your videos a ton. Like a hella ton. Sometimes I get recommendations for your videos on my youtube home page but never your 2017 rewind video. Ever.
I think this happens to most small youtubers like me. In fact, my most popular videos aren't even booming anymore. My most popular video earned as much as 1,145 views a day but now it's less than 20 views. 3 of my vids are booming today (earned 50-350 views/day as of Jan. 20) but i'm not expecting it to be booming very long so...
I’ve been studying the recommended videos sidebar of videos (which most people use) and have discovered a major flaw. I figured out it was a different algorithm from the main recommended videos algorithm. This flaw doesn’t show in the main algorithm. The flaw makes the algorithm like looping, meaning it likes recommending videos that you already watched, mostly the 15 or so last videos. This trend might possibly be mobile exclusive, since when I watch Youtube on my PC I don’t notice this issue, but it might just have to be with the fact that I watch Youtube much more often on my phone and not my computer. This might not be a common issue, so tell me if you encounter it also.
You’re really digging deep and discovering more flaws, and scary things happening to YouTube. Thank you Emp, you’re a true savior, shining light to those who don’t realize what’s exactly happening. YouTube is such a corrupted corporation.
I never thought youtube should promote any videos. I refuse to watch recommended videos, I watch videos I want and I search by view count and not by their results.
YouTube has a beef with you because you post videos unsuitable for ads (YTP) and because you point out their flaws and systems. In other words, YouTube is silencing you because you speak the truth.
The concept that user data must be stored in corporate network itself was the eventual cause of all these problems.
It existed because it's less expensive if users do not host their own data and manage access rights to their data. But it basically handed the freedom of controlling how your own data can be presented and used, to the corporations.
I'm not saying they did this intentionally, but I don't think it's a good position for democracy.
I say we take the fight to them. We should make entirely clean videos about complete trash and spam the entire website with them. Only go for topics that are bound to draw attention from norm. If we could successfully spam the site then everyone will leave it.
Would be pretty jokes if we were to just repost the same video over and over again and tag it to make sure it ends up being recommended everywhere.
Channels like watchmojo and the thousands of stolen video compilation channels already do this, and they've been doing it for years. People who actually care about quality videos are a minority.
Honestly, it's probably because of ur anti left and anti liberal views on things (which I love, btw). But any right leaning view points get censored on YouTube. Period.
I think the reason they hinder the performance of demonetized videos isn't for the sake of the community guidelines; even before what happened on YouTube in 2017, it wasn't a secret that their primary objective was to make money. I believe they censor demonetized videos more because, that way, monetized videos will be more likely to appear in suggestions, and there will be more of them. This way, viewers will be more likely to click on an advertiser-friendly video, thus upping their profits even more. Even if your video wasn't monetized, I take it YouTube didn't want their casual viewers to notice their flaws and the many content creators that were controversial and rebellious. YouTube simply wants a platform where there's no uprising of content creators wanting justice, and a safe system to generate revenue. Greedy shits.
Before this video, I got a four minute and eleven second ad that had a round-face asian man explain to me that he made everyday people into popular Youtube stars.
YouTube operates at a loss every day because YouTube as a business model doesn't work and this collapse of YouTube was inevitable and was always down the tunnel. I participated in tanking the rewind before realizing that and I think you should just take it easy on YouTube because you have allot of cool dedicated fans and you make cool videos and I think that you could do that for a longer time if you didn't hasten youtubes collapse with such provocative and viral videos such as this one. why not just enjoy the decline of YouTube, don't think of it as a downward spiral; but a receding tsunami wave that will inevitably crash upon a shore, just surf the wave Emp Lemon just surf the wave to the bitter end but please for the love of YouTube please don't fight the wave because I'm 100% sure there wont be another wave like this one. some one has to pay for all of the data and bandwidth that we use to upload all this YouTube poop we all love and call content and if not google, who else? who else is going to pick up this enormous tab? please don't end this glorious disaster I call YouTube.
but that's probably going to be pretty hard for you to do in the future since thee YouTube genre of YouTube poops is being demonized and is likely going to get hit hard in the future which will unfortunately either kill your channel or bolster it at the expense of further killing YouTube itself if you make a video about the censorship of YouTube poops.
The only other explanation I can think of is that it got crowded out by the glut of other videos on the topic.
Assuming there are only a finite number of hours people are willing/able to watch YouTube, particularly videos on the same topic, it may be that yours was overshadowed by the offerings from other channels. videos from the other channels got priority because of higher subscriber counts/more closely related channels.
Either way, this shit is fucked.
Regarding the questions: 1) No. 2) No; not allowing adds is one thing, but actively throttling access is another. 3) Not really, but only because the precedent is already there. YT will continue to fuck over its content creators, as surely as the sun will rise.
Camkitsune He specifically addressed that it wasn't due to popularity. Many smaller channels received many more views than he did, and his view count from suggested sources was virtually nothing compared to theirs. Besides, views from subscribers wouldn't factor into the viewers from suggested videos
This is a combination of YouTube being paranoid about family friendliness from the ad pull-outs and their machine learning bots giving lots of false positives
EmpLemon, I am a big fan! I really love your rick and morty YTP collab!

I thought this video wasn't monetized but I saw an ad meaning if you are watching videos on a phone you'll get ads and the money will either go the phone company and isn't linked to YouTube or the money goes straight to YouTube if the video is demonetized
we should all band together and start a competitor to youtube and agree to delete our youtube channels transfer all our videos to the competitor. we could call it "wetube" or something. maybe have a blue logo, or a green logo, that looks like youtube's own logo.
once i finished making it, i will put it on the app store and stuff, and you can download it for free, no ads, and it will NOT be the same as youtube, you can just watch things and upload things and ill make it nice and stuff
Hey emp, nice vid as always. I looked at the source code for this vid and some of your other ones and found the same block of text containing the words "RESTRICTED" and "SBOX_INAPPROPRIATE" followed by things like "sexually explicit", "violent", etc. After that block is "AD_BADGE" which I asssume is the demonitization icon? I'm not too sure what all this means. Maybe you can make more sense of it. https://imgur.com/a/WJEgz
edit: i found more code containing "adsafe-protected" followed by a bunch of websites, on a video that had the restricted and inappropriate code. I could not find this adsafe-protected code on emplemon videos, nor the websites. it seems that a giant chunk of this code is missing from emp's videos.
haha, yeah. youtube is pretty fucked right now. I think this is just a replacement for the numbered text that emp and pewdiepie said correlated to "inappropriate" violations? im not sure. i think this code may have been in place before. this is my first time paying attention to it.
I just looked at the source code, and it just doesn't say that any where. view-source:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo7MusZBlrE&t=156s there's a link if anyone wants to look for themselves but i was unable to find it. Granted, high effort lie
Problem is to get all of the good content creators to instantly agree to go somewhere else and have people agree to that is impossible.

Not possible. Youtube can destroy it if it becomes even slightly popular. Look at Vidme, one of its reasons for the site's closure was "due to an increase in competition". That means that Youtube won't stop stomping its competitors until it's the only platform left.
with the shit youtube does i will not even be supriced if one day i go to youtube and tells me "you haven't bought the youtube acces card please consider going to your local kiosk"
Oh, you fell for the net neutrality meme. Well, it's been three and a half months. I'm sure all that doomsaying reddit was screeching about a year ago will come true. Any day now...
YouTube is total bullshit these days. That's why I'm tinkering with a project that will enable users to watch videos from others in a peer-2-peer setting. Download the program and browse. YouTube without the website. No central server, no censorship other than community driven censorship of illegal material, creators are free to make money how they see fit. And, best of all, no uploading. You set a folder as your active directory and whatever video file you place in the directory is visible to the community. Still working out bugs, etc but it's showing promise. Maybe one day it can dethrone this monster...or at least scare it into working for it's users again.
The story of Emplemon- First a well known contributor to the YTP Renaissance, then smacked into a downward spiral which eventually ascended him to another plane of perception, allowing him to see through the immense bullshit of YouTube.
YouTube is crossing a line their mind set is that we don't matter as much as them, but we make up YouTube and everything in it good or bad so i just want YouTube ti start being more attentive to our vids and thoughts. Don't get me wrong i love YouTube but it just needs to realise some things about being a business around people.
They already took down a video of mine talking about YouTubers I like and demonetized 2 videos of mine (Clusterf*ck and My Stalker). Welp, I'm moving on to dailymotion.
I have an idea. Trick the Bot into demonitizing any video that contains the tag "youtube" and maybe.... even a bunch of normal tags like "dog" or "food", making google have to actually do something about it
when i used to make videos i made remixes of songs remixes i made with a phone app after recording the songs from my stereo which was playing a CD that i spent money on rendering copyright infringement null and fucking void because by buying the CD i bought rights to use the music whenever and wheverer i want but youtube still flagged me for copyright
I think that i may know what the advert that censored your video was. i have watched a lot of YouTube critics (Mostly Movies) and i have seen maby 2-4 times this 5 second long advert with just the YouTube logo. i don't know if the videos are mortised. i hope you get something out of this
I've seen this done before several times. This is really starting to cross the line between censorship and removing one's freedom of speech. Of course, you can throw that out of the question since YouTube is a globally private business. So its not like suing them or claiming them unlawful would do anything. And to make matters worse, with net neutrality gone, things are gonna get much worse on the internet when it comes to creative minds and copyright. This problem isn't just about people making stuff on the internet. Now its about whether someone who has a mindful topic about anything can be shut down at the slightest mistake, be it for profit or not.
And the worst part, we haven't even seen the shit hit the fan yet.
Things are gonna go really, really badly for not just content creators, but practically everyone on YouTube in general. Fuck me..
Yehia Falcon it can't be gone in the uk, it's held together by competition, and everyone would end up using a cheap provider that respects net neutrality if it did go, meaning companies would die and thus all of them fight to keep it going
but, wouldnt this mean that small irrelevant newer youtubers like me will be trashed by YouTube´s algorythm?, and wont be able to grow at all?, at least im from Mexico, so Net Neutrality aint gone
Welp. Almost all common forms of entertainment in life are completely fucked. The only thing that can happen next is if Ajit Pai becomes King of the World. Then we'll have to say goodbye to everything.
I think I remember that rewind video you made when I first played it did have an ad play first. I am not lying to you to me it’s a vague memory but to you it could paint a clearer picture. I remember watching that video in the car on my way to a restaurant. I’m certain it was.
The guidelines for monetisation also got leaked. All of this confirmed that people reviewing your video can demonetise it based off their own personal beliefs, completely fucking over creators getting SJW reviewers.
Joe Scott has explained a similar situation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ft1LCn12Lds&t=578s (jump to the 4 minute mark where he starts talking about it). In his case, it wasn't profanity or anything like that, it's just that one of his videos was unusually successful. Apparently, when you have a video that suddenly does very well like that, the YouTube algorithm is programmed to stop recommending videos from your channel for a while, in case you are just paying for views or something like that.
Is doing that really necessary? That's another discussion entirely, but obviously YouTube is trying to make a profit and they won't do that if a channel is just watched mainly by bots. Is there a better way to do it? Of course, but hey, it's YouTube, what else do you expect?
wait... 1,000,000 watch time in minutes? a minute is 60 seconds. 60 x 1,000,000 is 60,000,000 seconds. 1 view is counted as 3 - 4 seconds. so 3 divided by 60,000,000 is about 20,000,000 views. thats like $20,000 - $100,000. emp, i think your fine.
Censorship is not promoting some messages over others, but preventing one from talking at all. You can certainly argue there are issues with how the algorithm works, but it doesn't fit the definition of censorship.
Hope you still read this videos. Stop talking about memes and start talking about youtube. Your other videos are much worse than this one. If you keep going with comentaries, you are going to grow big.
They shouldn't demonitize a video for saying swastika, since the swastika was originally a Hindu symbol meaning 'well-being' . The Nazis stole the swastika symbol but it's not the same, the Nazis symbol is flipped.
Something I commented on your last video that I'll say again here since there's a better chance of you seeing it, is the fact that despite having notifications on for every upload of yours, I never got one for your last video, nor did it ever show up in my recommended feed, but a week later after its release, on my home tab on the mobile app. I don't know if this was more of that spicy censorship, but if anyone else reports something similar, then we have reason to believe it actually happened
i recently found you trough suggested content. I think you appeared around the time channel awesome fiasco happened. And i don't know why , i think you never talked about channel awesome. So im clueless how you ended in my suggestions. I mean i like your content. And the first video i watched is how trump won the election using memes. I don't even know how the suggested content system works to be honest.
Wow, this is really shitty. I'm really starting to get fed up with YouTube's current practices. I just wish there was a better alternative out there...
You cant just access your comments like before, you must go back to the video and then scroll around to see who he was responding to. It slowed to a tricle now.
It's not run by a DVD copy of Shark Tale. It's run by a GB Boy Colour cartridge in a Super Game Boy SNES cart in a Game Boy Advance that has a Game Boy screen with a backlight and dual screen.
I haven’t done a shred of research of how it works but I see a lot of people going to Facebook lately... but like I said idk how things work over there may be worth looking into.
It's not YT that cares what your content is. It's the brands of the advertisers that care and make YouTube sanitize itself so it's safe for the ads of these companies that essentially employ and is the main stream of income for YouTube. Without it YouTube wouldn't be as big, as popular and as free as it is and very doubtful people would of went from free YouTube to a paid premium YouTube. It basically had no chance.
Im sorry but I think youre a little bit overreacting here like it looks a bit weird but I dont think that Youtube would only cencor your video on Rewind becouse a lot of the Videos about YTRW 2017 were talking in a negative tone lg from 2019
This Video was showed to me as i watched other non monotised video maybe because i like videos that show me information and not clickbait challanges so they let us watch similar content and the most trending videos are most shit for me and i dont know if other guys who watch the same videos like me think the same but the best monotised videos are 10 minutes challanges. I live in germany where many PoPuLaR YoUtUbErS steal the same shity trending videos from america just to get clicks and money. And that content is earning money für youtube so they want that many people watch it and thats the way how youtube is killing content like yours
So apparently the word 'pinhead' is now bad. The 'ad viewer' on your video only got 50 seconds in and what word is used at exactly 0:50 in that video? pinheads.
I have loved your channel for a long time, and makes me love you even more. Keep up the great work in exposing these piles of crap and there corporate greed. We are the resistance. Long live EmpLemon
Nice of the princess to invite us over for a picnic, eh, Luigi? Luigi: I hope she made lots of spaghetti! M: Luigi, look! It's from Bowser. “Dear pesky plumbers: The Koopalings and I have taken over the Mushroom Kingdom. The Princess is now a permanent guest at one of my seven Koopa hotels. I dare you to find her if you can.” We've got to find the Princess. L: And, you've got to help us. M: If you need instructions on how to get through the hotels, check out the enclosed instruction book. (Just wanted to take people back to the days where YouTube wasn't fucked)
ive been told net neutrality being gone would hurt google more then others because 'neutralily' doesn't promote a fair share at all if some parties massively outclass others.
you have misunderstood the youtube advertising; this does not mean there are ads on your video, this means that your video was promoted as an ad to another view, so your video was the ad, which could still happen regardless of monetization, which affects 3rd party ads
oh boy when people said yt rewind 2017 was bad, no one was prepared for 2018. And, I guess 2019 was ok i guess. it was just so boring. at this point i wouldn't be surprised if they didn't mention covid in rewind 2020
Wait people avoid long videos, I do the opposite because it shows they put in allot of effort into it (Just checked my recommended yeah only one short video and it’s one of yours, huh)
Well, shit. If anything, at least we got #TankTheRewind to bomb,the YT Rewind comments section. Also, did the n-word happen to be 50 seconds into the video?
A video I just posted yesterday got age restricted it’s litterally me playing Genshin impact, breaking it, and putting words/sounds over it I’m so confused
Does this mean you’ll go back to making funny spongebob type instead of being a meme spewing doughnut head? Kek remember Gabe le doggo, remember we are numero uno, remebr downward spiral, how bout le epic frog meemee? I legit am die 👅😂🍆 💯
Ok i don't think net neutrality being removed is bad, afterall, YouTube, Netflix, comcast and Google supported net neutrality, so its odd you have companies supporting it.
This is kinda ironic (for lack of better term) to me because I found this guy's Channel from that video in my homepage( admittedly it was about a year late)
YouTube NEEDS to fix their shit, now. The best thing they can do, in the immediate moment, is open a discussion and be fully transparent to their users.
The worst thing they can do is keep going on this downward spiral. If nothing is done, the users and viewers will basically riot, with no respect of the platform that has given them no reason to do otherwise other than giving an easier means of viewing online videos. If nothing is done, YouTube will destroy itself and the video-sharing industry.
Let Me Explain (Rebecca Parham) does have pretty shit content but if she was unpaid for something she should've been paid for? yeah, that's pretty damn scummy on youtube's part.
They deleted my old account and I haven't even been able to figure out why. It makes me afraid to start a channel with videos again. I wanted to post videos with my utauloid on here.
omg i watched this video... only to point out that this got demonetized, then there is a recomendation of youtube red on my bottom left corner YOUTUBE WHYYYYY I WANNA GO BACK TO 2014. btw it told me to ditch the ads
nononononononooooooooo. DUDE okay I am a new viewer and you won't read this. But you haven't uncovered anything you actually just demonetized your own video. by not monetizing it in the first place it doesn't make youtube money so they don't promote it. the other videos were monetized so they popped up for people

What's the music used in the video? I want to listen to them while practicing in CSGO
there is an average of 10.27 mins per view or around 10 mins and approximately 16 seconds per view which is47.61% the length pf the video. maybe that's is the cause for it not recieving attention maybe. but 47.61% is no slouch. compare it to the other anylitics of any of your other videos
This is true. My most popular video was demonitized because it plays a real song. It used to get over 1,000 views a day but only got 13 views yesterday
They didn’t do anything to pyrocynical so the millions of teens that are too cool for Jake Paul don’t hate YouTube anymore than they do from when pyro uploads his videos about YouTube
Hey Emp, don't expect you to respond, but, I couldn't for the life of me locate the source of the music starting at 5:04; would you be able to throw me a bone? heh
Its called the brazilianaire, an obscure classic from amon tobin (aka cujo in 1995-96). Check it out along with other artists like dj food, 9 lazy 9, funki porcini (half of 9L9), dol-lop, wagon christ, t.power, and others from the ninebar and ninja tune record labels (look up ninebarecords on discogs). Sorry if you had to wait so long.
Yknow what, I’m tired of YouTube being dystopian. Let’s revitalize #TankTheRewind Post it in the comment section of anti-rewind videos (Pewds, etc.) We wont get anywhere without breaking top 10!
YT is a typical company as it's very concerned with $ and growth, nothing out of the ordinary, nothing insidious. However, they're also actively trying their hands at social engineering. YT, like many "tech" companies, are filled with the new left (which are an aggressive, closed minded and generally out of touch bunch). I really dislike the term "anti-American", but that's exactly what this new left is at their core. Nevermind that this nation hasn't always lived the ideals of freedom of all types, it was at least something to shoot for. The new left cares nothing for freedom whatsoever and seeks overt control of every kind. That is anti-American.
I think not monetizing your videos may have influenced the view count pattern. If you monetize a video Youtube will be interested in promoting that video, and if you don't then they don't really care.
do you think its possible you're wrong? 48% still seems like it could have just been the video not doing as well because of many small untraceable factors like appealing thumbnail viewer interest, burnout etc.
Youtube has a really strange place in my life. I love the videos and how many people post with different informative videos, but I have a loathing for the freaks who put this totalitarian platform together and as I click videos I truly have the idea that Youtube and Google are the scum of the earth. So I love the videos and can't stand I can't find them except where freaks of nature dwell on the hideous youtube.
EmpLemon hey, I discovered something. The screenshot that you showed says the bot from YouTube advertising viewed for 50 seconds, and that is right when you said the word normie. For some strange reason, the autocaptions capitalized normie like a proper noun, so I assume that the bot counts the word normie as slang or an insult so that contributed to the sensorship.
EmpLemon you should see 2018's rewind...... not only is it in the top 25 most disliked, its in the top 10, and the top 5, and the top 3, because it is the most disliked video^^;;;;
1.Then why don't they censor or delete intensely disturbing video's?😏I don't believe you dude,2.Why would your video be so great, and then hit rock bottom? Does anybody got a response, or am I right?😏😏😏
By the way the rage over net neutrality was just because they hate trump, the internet existed before 2015 my friend. Its 2018 almost 2019 and the internet is mostly the same but youtube continues to censer people and opinions they don't like. This has happened with and without net neutrality.
Blandness (i.e; censorship, corporate whitewash, fundamentalist PC) is the most suspicious of all attitudes...the 'new normal' wears a blank, generic face. 😨😠
I still don't understand why some genius/millionaire doesn't have a competitor out yet! Like, we have chrome competitors that are playing off the fact that nobody trusts google. Why not have a youtube competitor?
There is so much content uploaded on YouTube it would be literally impossible to keep up. Also in certain countries (like the UK for example) have laws that would make YouTube regulated like a TV channel or newspaper.
Youtubers need to go on strike they dont make a lot of money off adds when nobodys uploding i know its hard to organize considering you guys don't work together at all but nkbody likes the way youtubes going
Those shitting on California for being the SJW HQ is fine, but it's mainly southern california. Northern california actually has reasonable people and is a decent place to live.
wanna know something I found funny? about a day after I saw tank the rewind I tried reuploading it to spread the word and was always rejected due to somehow violating guidelines, I even screen capped the event =\
wait, some of the bigger youtubers get ads running on their videos but say what youtube considers not advertisement friendly for videos. My thinking is that YouTube just wants those ads running because they will get the most views.
The kid channels should be on YouTube kids exclusively, and should not be monetised, especially seeing that you’re not even meant to have a channel under 13
We live in a world of ever-increasing corporate censorship. This crackdown on obscenity is part of a larger system. I believe that what YouTube has done is essentially modify their algorithm first to crack down on independent news productions like Secular Talk that don't spout corporate-approved bullshit, and then bend over to advertisers eager to get their messages into the minds of children by promoting content that parents wouldn't object to.
I made a joke on how something like this would parallel to the last Jedi movie, where the YouTube bots would fire on all the YouTubers and demonetize and shadow ban their videos. I am phycic.
10:12 EmpL I literally fucking hate that guy because of his poor policies on well EVERYONE ALREADY KNOW WHO THIS IS. Who agrees he should be hardcore fired from the FCC. He basically wants to fuck over YouTube and the whole net too for his own capital benefit if what it is at all god forbid. Jebus Chrisp.
"Less" refers to something which is abstract, and cannot be counted - less water, less enjoyment, etc. "fewer" refers to something which has a concrete quantity - fewer hats, fewer views, etc.
The Problem is that the same process will repeat: humble beginnings, humble leaders, when it grows more, it just becomes another heartless corporation only interested in money.
You're just jealous that Youtube Rewind has over 3 million likes and you are making videos that break the rules. You dont get mant likes. That is why you made this video. You either photoshoped the disliked button, or you inspected the dislike button to be very high. T_T
In like 2025 Youtube's gonna have an entire Revolution of us. Have you guys seen the 2019 rewind? SO MANY DISLIKES! JOIN THE DAMN RIOT! YOUTUBE NEEDS TO BE REFORMED!
Why doesnt someone just create another website thats way better than youtube? Hopefully we can use a site like that to boycott Youtube and hopefully have it run out. Any thoughts?
EDIT: I just looked at the suggested videos after I watched this one on the right side of my screen. Its all Trending videos, I don't know if this helps but its pissing me off.
Because you need 100's of millions of dollars to invest in something like that. It isn't like you have a web browser and you know how to code da html's and now u got yourself Youtube 2
Its a good idea but so many have already tried and failed. The fact is, you can't use a website to beat YouTube. My idea is peer-2-peer. A program on your desktop that connects you directly to other users with no middle man. Your fav creator places a video in their "share" folder and the program allows others to watch it straight from their program on their machine. No censorship that way.
The problem not Why doesn't someone make another site, but more of why doesn't anyone make the jump. The viewers are ready to do it, but if the content creators are terrified to take the risk, the viewers will see no point and think everything fine. They don't want to risk their financial lives, and how far they came, and don't want to drop Youtube no matter what. If it's not that, it's the website financial issue too, where they need the ads.
If youtube been struggling to keep the ads, other sites will face this same issue as well.
I don't know why any other company tried to make a video hosting website capitalizing on the disaster that youtube is becoming by offering a guaranteed monetization system, with a good marketing campaing they could bring the people to their website and we could abandon youtube forever. I know doing such thing is really difficult because yt is a monopoly and previous attempts didn't work, wich disencourages companies to invest in a new platform, but it could happen.
See my comment close to this one. Basically my idea but the system I'm working on has no website or central server. It's peer-2-peer so no one person or entity can control content.
Wrestless this kind of service isn't very user friendly for the masses – wich are the ones who brings the money – so it's likely that it would fail unfortunately
When people hear Peer-2-Peer they think "Torrents" like Vuze and BitTorrent but my idea was something much more polished and easy to use. It's all speculation right now and grand ideas in my head but who knows. Maybe one day I'll be able to put it all together...or get it crowdfunded haha
@Dakota Taylor yes I am. And that is the kind of semantics that has gutted the Constitution. But great job showing your colors. I hear loud and clear that you support censorship of the masses
@Dakota Taylor either way you are arguing that because it's a corporation it can censor what it wants. Even though it is an open platform that a majority of people use, like Facebook to keep up to date on information or entertainment. Considering how dumb/lazy the average US citizen is they believe the first thing they see and regurgitate it without due diligence. Public opinion can be swayed very easily by these companies. The fact that you defend these practices of either straight blocking, or burying it to where the majority won't see it shows how misled of an American you are. Censorship of any viewpoint is wrong no matter how much it may offend or make people uncomfortable. You either have freedom of speech or you don't, there is no nit picking or by definition it isn't free. But please continue to argue for and defend corporations, instead of the people. In the end you are arguing to be right, not for what is right. Our opinions may differ but that's the beauty of it all, we can share different view points and learn from them. Have a good day. 🤝
@Dakota Taylor well I tried. I'm sorry that you can't wrap your head around the ramifications of your train of thinking. I leave you to your blind corporatism.
Hey Emp lemon how come both pie and your average suggested videos was blue and first but then your vid that was attacked hadsuggested videos as orange?
in the long run, it doesnt matter. know why? the message of the video, tanking the rewind, smashed the rewind 2017 vid all the way down to number 11. regardless of youtubes policing, la resistance lives on!
supersmashbro596 This is just observations on how YouTube handles suggested videos and what qualities in videos factor in to the situation of how people would see the videos
if there one genre of videos that need to stop, it would be those stupid nursery rhyme kids videos that keep popping up in my recommendations that are so random. I don't even watch that crap. yet it gets recommended to me. IDK Mabey something's wrong with the algorithm
Ok so...like in the script Quote Done I only need to get some likes. Also, youtube sucks and now they suck more because of some guy that has no clue on what he's doing and he pulled ads from youtube but... eh, I'm still getting Mafia City clone ads.
I think the "Youtube Advertisement" thing in your analytics normally means views that came from advertisements you bought to promote your own video. In this case, it might just be a weird bug. But that's just a theory. It's way less interesting than the conspiracy you're talking about in the video lmao
isn't it the advertisers fault that videos are being demonetized and not youtube's . I mean if it were youtube's then that would mean youtube is making a decision on behalf of the advertisers which is stupid
ALSO YouTube, as I’ve found out, automatically demonetizes videos that have games in the title that can be seen as remotely offensive. Basically say game X is really popular, but a lot of the people playing it got it demonitized for whatever reason. Now, when you upload a video about game X, YouTube will demonetize it automatically, assuming that the unfriendliness is consistent through all videos. Then, after appealing, the video gets remonetized. The only problem with this, like Emp said, is that most views for videos come in the first couple of days, so most views you get were from a time when you were demonitized.
I have watched your videos frequently in the past and liked them. I was never recommend this video. I would have loved to have seen that video because I watched many like them (rewind rebuttals, complaints and compilations of what it should have been).
7:40 Since when is "swastika" considered a racist word? It's a wide group of different patterns, and most of them aren't even remotely related to Nazis/fascists.
I am a brand new channel to YouTube and I think this is happening to me too out of the 6 videos I’ve made, the one without profanity or any controversial topics has the most views (about 100) and all of my other ones (with profanity and controversial topics) have around 50 each
Ironically after sharing the video my web browser that I had no problem at this moment started to hit the crapper especially on this video only was two other videos that make no sense one music video and just another thing that's completely meaningless but all the tabs were YouTube just figured food for thought
I want to see a good counterargument. Not because I think this is an unconvincing argument, but because I want more information before I take this as fact.
I do not get money from YouTube but still, they like to either limit my videos because of a song played or they just say. Well since you used that song we can allow you but it has to have ads on it.
If you record in a place and some really good action is happening but suddenly some music comes out and YouTube is like nah you had a chance to avoid that but ya didn't. What On Earth how can I avoid music when it is out in public.
i would rather call theyre algorithm dumb, since it is more likely that theyre algorithm is wonky. than i would support what is most likely a conspiracy theory.
we need to move on to a new service the only one I can legitimately think of is pornhub do to the fact they have less censorship and will allow next to anything on there sites
I need you to test something. Make a youtube video that Youtube is great or something and under it add a link to some site that you can upload the video that is against it (and see the views) I wonder if you can trick the algoritems that way.
I think what happens is if you get over a certain number of views (ie the number of views that would make the video marketable) YouTube's AI scans the video to see if it's able to be monetized (and if needs to be buried to keep provocative videos away from the main page). Oh and if you make "offensive" content too much you'll be tagged as a creator of offensive content and be demonetized outright and will have to submit all vids to monetization and pass the censor enough times to get back on Google's AI's good graces. It's social manipulation driven by the actions of the big corps as a result of market and social forces.
I've heard rumors that the video monetization is influenced by the comment section toxicity. If we yell racial slurs in the comment section we might get your videos flagged.
Hey who ever will be reading this I find something odd. I was watching a video that might be named but not right now. It had someone using the n word but I got a ad on the video and it came out in 2016. I just want to say ,I am on this guys side.
We something like a "Newtube" run by the fans, for the fans. Essentially if people who had 10 mil plus subs all joined and made a big stink. Everybody would leave youtube and join this "Newtube"
>Complains about YouTube (on youtube) >YouTube notices >YouTube said fuck you >Gets suprised when YouTube dosent wanna show someone bashing them. (On YouTube)
You appeared in my recommendations but I only clicked to post this comment. I am sick and tired of getting recommended videos regarding youtube's "censorship"
Can't believe your still using the inaccurate view/like system. You do understand the majority of your viewers probably doesn't even have am account, and that's just the beginning of the flaws
COMMENTING AS I GO ALONG 1. What is stupid about the auto-caption check is that some people just have specific voices that don't work well with the captions. Once I found an auto-caption that said "fuck" even though the video was squeaky clean. 2. I think that Youtube Advertising is that sometimes Youtube shows your channel trailer as an ad. I remember that it used to happen a lot more but I haven't seen one in years.
If youtube has this algorithm that learns from tis mistakes, i wonder if it will accidentally delete the wegbsite and be all "whoops, probably shouldnt have done that!''

YouTube is kinda justified in this case, I just think they take this way too far... I mean, Google- I mean, YouTube has an app called YOUTUBE KIDS. WHY DO KIDS WATCH NORMAL YOUTUBE?!? AAAAAAAAAAHHHh
i was about to say who the fuck do you think you are but the statistics you use definitely justify your theory, a lot of entitled youtubers love to go on about how youtube is out to get them because they aren't the gods of youtube with neverending streams of viewers and subs yet. nice vid, subbing.
Kool nãosei Not to sound like a pessimist, but if Net Neutrality in a big place like the US is dead, that could open up a whole new can of worms for the other big countries
so youtube makes propaganda about America? Youtube sends people to prison and does unspeakable thing to them? Youtube is spending all their cash on nuclear weapons? but really though where is the comparison between the two?
Sweet Roll Also, for the record, ISPs have throttled internet speeds of their consumers so the idea that ISPs aren't harming anyone and the "big mean ol guvment is ruining capitalism" is bullshit. We need regulations to keep people from doing shit like that.
Sweet Roll And I'm probably going to stop commenting on this now that i remembered the OP'S comment had literally nothing to do with net neutrality and I'm probanly just annoying him with notifications about a conversation he doesnt care about.
EmpLemon has quickly become one of my favorite political commentators. I love sitting back and watching the world burn, and EmpLemon's YTP spice he adds certainly helps.
I’ve been a fan since 2014, the ytp uncredibles is what caught me I believe, I forgot it was a long time ago. You’ve came a long way since then and I like to thank you for your contribution for calling out YouTube and demonization bullshit for political purposes.
Lad, I have watched multiple of your videos, I've been following you for years (not subscribed) now hear me out. Youtube is a business, it's a company, it's a service. They are gonna implement measurments because the content produced and uploaded to the site is vast and too much for human laborwork to handle. Even demonitized and hidden videos have been catched to share ilegal content, and I'm not talking about gore, I mean worse. (You browse 4chin like me, so you can guess th stuff by your own experience). Yes, most of the manouvers are gonna hit on people that try to speak their minds and creativity to the world. But here's the thing, creativity and open mindness is not profitable. It hasn't been and it will never be. This is why the people who are attached to more creative and outside content usually reside in very shitty and unstable sites. Nobody not even their own users want to sustain them. I like to watch your videos, I enjoy them, the Meme Theory of Trump was an enjoyable view. But try to stay out of trying to raise a point or "awareness". There's nothing to prove or fight, and less for a monoplio as big as this site that can eleminate you with the press of the button. But hey, if you want to be a rebel and fight against it, go ahead. Maybe I'm just too old to to care for these things. Anyhow, have a nice one and will be checking on your new vids.
While I don't follow you much, I'm mostly interested in the ytps, I have to say these videos you're doing about the state of youtube are really well done and enlightening. Youtube has been going down the shitter, but seeing how rotten they have become does really upset me. I really wish that some competitor would rise to fuck up youtube really badly. Something that resembles the good youtube of old times, not this bullshit that's even worse than television. If it can be of interest, I got this video recommended a week after ya upped it.
Buddy, I think you might have just made the first crack in the dam. Also, the fact they monitor the captions, rather than the video itself is suspect. For one, I'm sure we've all seen just how horribly inaccurate they are. This means you could go an entire 30-minute video without swearing once, yet since the captions' accuracy is so poor, there might be a bunch of swears in the captions that the algorithm will pick up on and demonetize the video because of. Another thing to think about: Youtube controls the algorithm that generates the automatic captions, meaning that, if they so chose in the future, they could tweak it in a way that it will interpret and display certain, commonly-said things about Youtube's business model as nasty swear words, which the 'advertiser-friendly check' algorithm would then use as reasons to demonetize the video, making it get less views, and ultimately make it harder to even find.
Honestly, I think the only time anyone, be it the government or a private business, should be able to censor what someone is saying is if said someone is deliberately trying to incite violence or hatred (or at the very least, they should need more of a reason than "I don't agree with what you're saying").
Mate, I HIGHLY recommend making some backups for this video and uploading them onto other websites, they will look for ANY reason to remove this sort of thing from their website.
A fascinating analysis, seems the rabbit hole keeps getting deeper.
It seems like a lot of these issues could have been avoided if YouTube didn't have advertisers at all, and instead used some other means of monetizing videos. But, with that genie out of the bottle, and corporations being what they are, I don't know if this kind of chicanery is going to stop. I hope I'm wrong about that.
8:31 I love how that thing only watched 50 seconds of the video to censor you. I downloaded that video and saw that it stopped getting views and uploaded it to my channel, saying that you watch the original video as well to support you. I lost 75% at 50 seconds as well and that’s where you said “these commie pigheads like to see”. And my recommended views are 31.1% in the beginning and die to 18.9 % average. It died almost the same day as it got uploaded. My stats aren’t that exact because, I came back and commented and i don’t have a viewership or anything that would watch a video after a day it got uploaded. But the recommended part is fascinating to me. Most views came from my channel page and people who are notified to me. With recommended being deadlast.
once you start censoring one offensive thing, you have to censor all offensive things. but where do you draw the line? youtube is obviously struggling with this. it has become more of a "censor everything, or nothing at all" kind of mindset. it's scary. that said, always enjoy your content. happy holidays mister emperor
I have a theory for the future of youtube. I think that because of this censorship, youtube as a platform will suffer. Not just for the people who go on this site and watch the videos, but the employee's of Youtube itself. Eventually, youtube will hit into a lawsuit so ahrd that it may cumble before our eyes. With subjects like this being brought to mind, I think Emplemon is being a youtuber that loves his platform and does not want it to be ran by corporate sellouts, willing to kill a channel because they wanted to tell themselves. And if youtube ever hits that lawsuit and crumbles down, it may just be what it once was, broadcasting yourself. But their could be another thing that google does. It could find a new site after youtube crashes. But I digress. Goodnight.
The ironic thing about YouTube is that they could really give a damn what you have to say in the comments. What some people say on here (in general) blows my mind and they get no reprimand or nothing.
PS. You should make a social media account if you don't already have one so you can safely dig through the secrets in case your channel is deleted, but otherwise, great work and I love your content!
Notice how this video, the video that points out everything that's been going on regarding censorship, has nearly thirty thousand less views- 76,114 -than the average EmpLemon video.
I feel sorry for YouTube as a platform itself. The technology behind it expands beautifully but more and more content gets censored. So why even upload in the first place?
I think that the end was good. The whole Ajit Pai / Net Neutrality controversy really got out of hand. Thanks Ajit Pai for ruining people's lives in America! I hope that you enjoy all the money that you get from the American people! Same goes to Verizon and all the other cable companies!
Thanks ghad with have you emp! i use the site since 2007 but i only created my youtube channel in 2k15 but for some weird reasons youtube has became a piece of corpurationized shit
I only found this from other videos, I’m subscribed to you and haven’t found this in my sub box for ~3 days, that is extremely odd. I think YouTube Is either Censoring your videos or it has a major bug.
I have a brother that watches Youtube regularly. You could say he is a normie, since he watches someone named Collins Key a lot.
I asked him what he thought about the ad-pocolypse and he said he didn't know what I meant. I told him it was videos having their ads taken away and he said "I don't like watching ads, so that's good."
Bear in mind, my brother has been watching Youtube for over a year now. He has no idea what is happening to Youtube. It's not unreasonable to say that most normies have never heard of the ad-pocolypse.
People will watch a video thats long depending on what the video is about. A video about the critically acclaimed behind the meme will get a lot of views and the fact that its a 32 minute video will make the video very successful
Damn. I haven't been keeping up with everyone else's vids on the rewind, but I'm not surprised. I wonder it the bit detected people downloading the vid and uploading it to their own channels... Unrelated, but what do you think about hardline conservative thinkers + politicians acting like Net Neutrality isn't a big deal, and straight-up mocking people who do? Even people in the break room at my programming job are talking about how it's some kind of SJW plot or some shit
Wouldn't it become less watched as more and more Youtubers who are more famous than you began making videos on the topic. I remember you made the video almost immediantly after the Youtube Rewind came out. So, there was your boost. But since more famous Youtubers made videos of it, they'll watch that instead of yours since you're less known. I think Youtube does censor videos, but I think this one is a stress.
Yo, I've been clicking through some of your videos, seeing as you had to deal with bullshit people, and appreciate the not bullshit people commenting, so here's my comment. Also google's diversity quota is gonna be their downfall lololololololol
i hope they dont do this to followers as well. what i mean is what if they start taking youtube/google privileges for example: -comments/opinions of all sorts -likes and dislikes on all sorts of posts -subscriptions to channels/accounts -viewer freedom -account freedom -and finally signing in or out this comment could be taken down but it wouldn't be done by EmpLemon.
What actually happened was nothing. People just didn't watch the video. If it was being removed from suggested videos, you wouldn't see a marginal drop. You would see next to zero. And I wouldn't be seeing the video in my recommendations right now. And comparing it to the Behind The Meme video doesn't help your case because that video has actual interesting discussion about a barely touched topic and title and thumbnail actually draw viewers in. Besides, YouTube Rewind discussion is usually just as groan-worthy as YouTube Rewind itself. It's just generally annoying.
You deserve to be censored. You made a 32 minute video on Behind the Meme, who is just an innocent guy who makes stupid videos. Stop observing obvious problems. I have no idea how people enjoy this.
6:29 Look at that tweet! it's a very PR way of saying Yes, but we don't want to admit it. They say yellow $ alone doesn't impact search and discovery. the very important part follows: "BUT if the video is also not suitable for a wider audience" They follow it by saying it's not related, but really what's to say it doesn't just so happen that those videos with the yellow $ are all also happening to not be suitable for "wider audiences"
It's a bot checking the subtitles, it does not work, but YT does not care. (Do you really think real actual people monetizes videos?, too much work man.)
this is going to get worse as we see the fallout of the end of net neutrality. as i said on the rewind video competition keeps things more honest. please please please emplemon upload this and the rewind video vimeo and any other flash video sites willing to host.
Youtube advertising watched your video for 50 seconds, you say thoroughly four seconds before the 50 second mark, and say normie pinhead on 50 seconds.
Why don’t we make it clear that YouTube isn’t for kids THAT WAY if you complain your kid is watching inappropriate vids then it is the parents fault for being irresponsible and letting the kid on something that isn’t there age
None of your videos after the behind the meme video shower up in my home page, even when I went out of my way to search you up (you WERE NOT showing in my subscription page) it took me going to your profile to find your newest videos.
Hey Emp I was wondering why in the suggested video and browse features colors swap from blue for browse and Orange for suggested on your video to blue suggested and orange browse for Pie video?????
Welcome, welcome to City 17 you have chosen or been chosen to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers. I thought so much of City 17 that I elected to establish my administration here in the citadel so thoughtfully provided by our benefactors. So welcome to City 17 ITS SAFER HERE
Check out the video of MR. OBVIOUS about YouTube hiring people to demonetize videos and these people get to put down controversial videos/videos they didn't want.
#youtube localized trending views (maybe advertz revenue :( sucks :(. whenever i press trending. all vidz. recomended are local :( awful to watch. so i seach manually, glad to stumble this channel :)) cheers bro. :))happy holidays :))
Ill leave this comment as a time capsule for All the 1% of the US population who will be able to see this. Ie. Those who can afford the YouTube entertainment package for 20$ a month
TheCartoonGamer8000 I can't believe you guys don't know Cujo/Amon Tobin. Amon Tobin's work is iconic in electronic music and is licensed frequently due to it's unique ear catching sound. He was the posterboy for Ninja Tune for the longest time.
lolinatorishere this has nothing to do with net neutrality. Do you even know what net neutrality is? It was an act that ensured data is treated equally. YouTube is not an Internet provider. YouTube censored before net neutrality, so your statement makes zero sense.
Because there's always the other side of the coin which no one likes to talk about. For example, net neutrality is here to stay. What they're getting rid of is title II of net neutrality which was reinstated in 2015 under the Obama administration. I know this dude browses /pol/ so he probably knows what's up.
I don't see your arguement...also, call me a bandwagon, but literally 80% of America, no matter what portion of the political compass, disagrees with what you just suggested.
Net neutrality is a good thing and It protects our internet freedom and the only reason it was repealed is because ajit pai is a corporate shill that only cares about a small portion of the US, thats all there is to it and your disagreement with it is just you being manipulated by the lies of buisnesses and the chairmen who voted to repeal it

Sniph me see the thing that set me off about net neutrality is that it's "slogan" is a free and open internet. However that is coming from the same people who censor people who disagree with them such as google. And before 2015 when the new laws were set in place everything was perfectly fine, and in fact net neutrality was enforced before then. And this shit about "muh netflix is gunu throtel" is false because the new ruling acknowledges that as anti competitive and will enforce it. I'm going to put a link to a picture that explains this in a separate comment. Tell me if it goes through.
Maybe I will provide an actual argument tomorrow because I don't feel like doing so right now
I feel like your stuff gets censored. You produce amazing stuff, it's coherent and cut great. You're absolutely being throttled and I've been think this for awhile now.
I just wanted to say that I found you quite recently through the suggested videos and subscribed almost instantaneously, so don't give up the good fight my friend. As an early uploader to YouTube making mediocre YTP's back in 2007-2008, I find all of your content fascinating. YouTube has been going downhill (ever since the google+ integration in my opinion), and we need people like you exposing their totalitarian ways to the new-comers of this website. Thank you.
Im glad I got to this one and the previous one, made me feel a little warm when I knew that I was part of that like ratio.
On net nutrality: The best choice we have now if the federal government is playing hands off is to turn to state government and get them to impose net nutrality. If a state legislative senator or representative gets a bunch of calls suggesting this they will go for the easy way to please their constituents, or at the very least we are draining big company lobbyists as they buy more and more officials. Although, the legislatures wont take that money if they know it will mean they lose their office. Anyways have a good night
Aw geez, now sure do I feel great of having my freedom on the Internet protected by Ajit Pie. He is such a nice guy, and he said I could still instagram my food, haha. Thanks mr. Pie, even tho I don't have interest in doing that, but you surely know and worry about the needs and problems of the people and how your decisions affect the masses.
Great video, EmpLemon. Thankful to learn this information, had no idea. I'm going to keep watching your content. Long videos don't bother me so much, I'll watch 1 hr long videos LOL. I like the direction the channel is going. Have a good Christmas and New Year.
EmpLemon keep doing that detective work. You are a shining beacon of hope to those on the bottom, and when I say bottom, I mean everyone here. Don't pretend you're different on position here.
Holy fuck man that YouTube Advertising discovery at the end gave me sincere chills. I'm so glad I watched till the end, there is certainly something to this theory.
This video hurts. Because what it says is just what we all secretly knew about YouTube, and what it's become. A vile, hungry beast. With no care for it's content creators.
This is not okay. It's one thing to remove advertising and it's another entirely to remove someone's ability to have their voice heard. Something needs to be done about this.
Honestly I can see why youtube would censor controversial videos but I don't think it is fair and I don't think this video will perform well under YouTubes new guidelines
I'm terrified: ever since the demonetization-ing started, things have been getting a lot worse and cringy. I don't want this site to be taken down, but if Youtube doesn't get their act together, there won't be a youtube anymore. Susan needs to be taken to court, this shit has gotta stop ASAP.
i've reached the point where a shorter video is less likely to be watched by me but i choose what to watch based on the channel thats on. length is a concern but some channels , you know, i gotta watch everything they make
God damn was mess. I was planning on taking this Winter Break off to learn about programming and animating for a development of fun side hobby, but now the Internet as I know it is on the verge of death and I have to spend all my time archiving music, videos, games, anime, and all that shit because next year it might be as good as gone. 2018 is gonna be quite the trial.
Such an avalanche of crap happened in 2017... It really looks suspicious. I'd say that those PewDiePie's fuck ups were just a suitable occasion to start all of that (either for YouTube, or corporations, or government) What to expect next, where haven't they hit harder? Copyright?
You know what I think we all should move to a site different than YouTube and start a new community in that site and as more people come and people get more involved YouTube will start realizing but the damage will be done and there will be no turning back. I mean think about all the shady shit that YouTube has been doing people we NEED to hit them where it hurts we need to hit them in there wallets emplemon I hope you have read this and I'm sure that you got my message.
you seem to not care at all about making a "great" youtube channel but you have given lots of facts I did not know and some theories that all have interested me.
one day you will make a video that explains something important and it will get in trending, one day
Eventually this situation will become like adoption of the L85, where Britain repeatedly swept the very obvious problems with the weapon under the rug while soldiers were left a questionable device to keep them alive. After multiple studies and research like your and other YouTuber's videos, they eventually couldn't keep the glaring issues under the rug and sent the design to H&K for an extreme makeover. This created the L85A2, something many agree to be acceptable to be used in combat. I'm really hoping YouTube gets shipped off on it's own or gets under management by a new company to have something at least acceptable to use for browsing the internet's videos.
Might I just mention that youtube is a private platform and can censor whatever the fuck they want, that's not a violation of free speech since it's their site.
Watching this video right NOW, there's none of your videos recommended to me in the video bar next to it. Which isn't normal. Even going to the home page, you're no where on my "browse recommended" or whatever.
I downloaded that last video and when I try to re-upload,it told me that it was violating the community guidelines of YouTube. Anyone else got that when they tried to repost that video?
more famous youtubers need to be made aware of this.. like H3H3 or some shit, they have usually more subscribers and might have an effect on this whole incident..
Hey bro. You should go ahead and make a backup channel so when the YouTube gestapo kicks in your channel's door and firebombs it, you can continue business as usual. I've seen it before, I'll see it again.
Ok, I was going to make a comment saying that Youtube removed your video from recommended bacause no monetization = no money for them, but since you did not monetize it in the 1st place...yep, censorship detected.
Another way YouTube censors videos is that they automatically blur parts of the video, if they did this to block number-plates and things that can be used to dox another person, then fine. But there using it to block out parts of videos from channels like Filthy Frank (which is where I saw it take place) YOUR CHANNEL , and many others, which you may take as YouTube patrolling there content, but it blocks alot of things which people wanted to "Broadcast" which goes against there old motto, I think alot of this is to do with when google bought YouTube, and turned it into another shady money-making business
Your videos show up on my home menu that's why I watch them. I never search unless I don't see anything from you for a while then I just look on your account itself
The repeal of Net Neutrality gives corporations more power? Well, that's where you're wrong.
The whole concept of Net Neutrality is to give corporations like Comcast and Verizon the top power in the market for wireless products and ISPs. If you were to remove net neutrality, all internet traffic will no longer be at the same price (let's say you don't use Netflix, with NN you have to pay the same amount of bandwidth that Netflix takes up even though you don't use it, without NN you can pay for how much bandwidth you use. This is why Netflix does not support net neutrality, not because there some activist to "free the net", but instead because they will make less money). Also, small ISPs will now start booming once again before 2015, since before 2015 it was basically useless to start a small ISP company if every single isp has to go by the same standards.
I'm not here to say whether YOU SHOULD be in favor or not in favor of net neutrality, what I am saying is you shouldn't make it a free vs not free internet situation, but instead a Liberal vs Conservative issue, go by the political belief that you represent with yourself. I get the Indian man doesn't communicate in debates or with people on the web about the issue and his stance, but that does not excuse the lack of research Americans can do about the issue. People automatically assume that Ajit is a piece of shit because Philip DeFuckface says so or that Jewthan Klein made a funny meme on twitter about it, but if we had a full debate election style, most US citizens will stop waving their shitty "Don't tread on me" photoshopped jpeg on twitter. Like you said on your MEME THEORY about Trump "Some people are too busy, too lazy, or just too stupid to get politics".
I noticed that i wanted to rewatch ur video and even after i typed like 70% of the video name and it was still not recommended. And for example on watch2gether i had to copy the video link because u couldnt find it through searching for the title
i have found a way to download a copy of your video in anticipation of censorship. If you want a plan for us to spread this video i can use a throwaway drive account for people to share your video that I "borrowed" for now.
They are using Alpha ZERO. It is a stunning, incredible, scary, brilliant mind-boggling AI.... Look it up. It is an AI that teaches itself... So it is constantly learning.
I kept looking for videos with the hashtag #TankTheRewind and I never find anything, not even my own two reuploads of it, which only my subscribers across my channels have seen. Then they just blocked one of my friends from uploading it at all. Do you have any thoughts?
In like every video like this you have some kind of clip including tf2. A little of topic but what do you main? How many hours do you have? Do fans ever notice you in tf2 or do you have a different name? What other games do you play on steam? Do you actually play tf2 or do you just like using clips from it?
Dear EmpLemon, have you seen Sᴜɪᴛ Yᴏᴜʀsᴇʟғ's video about SJWtube hiring outside companies to watch certain videos to rate them manually according to some survey SJWtube handed out to those companies? http://youtu.be/kekBcDYyP14 Shoutout also to Tower Dog (@dog_tower on Twitter) for giving Sᴜɪᴛ Yᴏᴜʀsᴇʟғ the material needed for his video 👋 Yours truly, Ukog-Nos Takeuchi
Shouldn't youtubers just move to another platform? Or at least promote a different video hosting site? If there's no one to watch their adds, then what is youtube going to do?
YouTube also scans the thumbnail of your vidéo. It happend To a french youtuber called baborlelefan who wanted To put a guy with an headscarf on his thumbnail among other things. Je did some tests and when he remouved that guy thé vidéo was back To advertiser friendly
The internet is fucked. Net neutrality is gone, youtube is fucked an some creators will move to other platforms because of demonitization and we will have a split community.
Honestly it's stupid you should be able to say and do what you want but think of the children who's parents aren't monitoring the kids activity. Like it's your fault for saying fuck

the auto-captions for the first 50 seconds of the video he is talking about. 50 seconds being the amount of the video the bot watched
I respectfully disagree with your theory of YouTube decreasing viewership of your video because of the use of the n word. I think it might have to due with the fact you stated in the video to mass dislike the video which might have been classified as "bullying". But either way they still decreased viewership which is wrong.
Zamboni Zombiebot yeah, I thought the reason for YT blocking his video was because of #TankTheRewind that he mentioned in the video, comments and description of the video.
Censorship is the suppression of content to any degree. YouTube isn't going to take down a video like this without any justifiable means as it looks far too suspicious, so they suppress it as much as they can with as little people noticing as they can so they can save face and avoid too much backlash.
Its pretty cute that people want to get upset over using someone elses website and having to adhere to their rules because they own said website . You might as well cry about speed limits and parking tickets just because you like to speed and park like an idiot.

Emperor Lemon, I will support your channel no matter what. I've been subscribed to you for about 3 years now and I can say that YouTube has become a but of a dreary place now. But I always seem to find those diamond-in-the-rough channels, and I'm glad I found yours before you got too lost in this bizarre era of YouTube. Keep up the good work my man!
Damn, you do loads of research for this stuff. Most people go "Finally, someone that understands!" instead of "Finally, someone that understood so much they did the extra work to help others understand!". You're a champ
I really like your videos on the politics/inner workings on Youtube. The fact that, as you've stated, YouTube isn't your job probably works really well in your favour. I think your arguments are well researched, fair and well argued. Keep up the good work :)
You know lemon, I didn't know all that much about YouTube's iner workings until you made that rewind video and this one. I am not a content creator, just a viewer. But learning this made me want to help content creators, all this shit robs them of profit which makes them not want or not be able to make content. You keep going, it's a good thing
What Youtube has done so far in 2017 shows how scummy they are and how little they care about their creators. I truly find it hard to believe that the adpocalypse only started in January of this year.
I miss the time when it was your own fault for watching videos on YouTube and that you had to be 14 to create an account. With Disney watering down Hollywood and YouTube watering down it's availability, kids of the next generation are going to grow up with silver spoons stuffed up their ass.
It would NOT surprise me, if Disney bought out the rights to Harry Potter and we got another 10 movies, just so they could sell merchandise and drown in their profit gain creating movies with no clarity. If you think JK Rowling or even Warner Bros would never give up the rights, it only takes so much offering before heads start getting turned. The're already making a deal with FOX for $60 Billion. They already have Marvel and Star Wars and don't get me wrong i dont mind Disney they do well with Pixar but for bigger franchises creating eye candy entertainment blinding viewers with forced popcorn flick story telling and cheesy dialog isn't going to impress many people especially adults.
That bit with the youtube advertising bot was disturbing to say the least. It's undeniable proof that whatever content you make will be seen and judged by youtube in order for them to have the maximum amount of control over their website in the end. I wouldnt be suprised if they have a bot that judges and deletes comments as well if they are suitable or not.
See: The reason why I loved your channel since the beginning because you don't make them to be just about you. From YTP to now, the beacon of hope likes on you.
True freedom can never be reached, but I implore to YouTube to try to allow everyone to speak their mind, regardless of the future consequences. It's better to die with knowledge than to live in ignorance.
We should've abandoned YouTube when we still have a chance. Now without net neutrality new platforms never gonna be able to stand a chance without make deal with internet providers.
Honestly, what needs to happen is a strike. Viewers need to stop watching YouTube and creators need to stop making content until the higher-ups submit. This will never happen unfortunately because we the viewers are too infatuated with YouTube to restrain from using it, and the creators can’t afford to stop making content cause it’s their livelihood.
My videos got hit with the censor shadow ban too. I went from 50k views a month to just under 25k. I made 50K when I wasn't even making new content. I started making new stuff and got a video that exploded in popularity then it was restricted because it butt hurt a few feels. My channel hasn't been the same since. Most of my audience finds me through sharing and browsing.
Youtube being this shit made me stop caring about putting effort into my channel. Planned on doing something, but no, the only thing i might do is an occasional shitpost and even that requires actually effort, so stopped before even beginning...
Also this whole net neutrality thing seems to have become a meme, because literally nothing happened with it being repealed
Could it have anything to do with the fact that you said at the end of the video that anyone could steal it and re-upload it to their channel? Maybe there were so many exact copies that the algorithm was recommending those as well and it reduced the stats for suggestion views across all of them.
It could be a new thing with relation to reporting bombing or idk. Maybe behind the meme brought his normie army to attack. Lol just kidding, anyways love your videos. Whenever you upload a video, the whole world stops and does not return until the video is over.
I think you're on the right track, but I don't think it has to just do with the suggested videos. It seems more like the overall discovery algorithms, which include search results, sub notifications, & all other forms of discovery, are being stunted. And considering Google owns YouTube, and also happens to be the most used search engine, means they can censor whatever the fuck they want. I've watched my two biggest, most prolific videos get demonetized, one of which regained monetized status. The one that's still limited ads had a good 6 day gap in views altogether! I've also seen some strange sources showing up in my discovery analytics, similar to what you showed. I might have to make a response video to this about my own censored content, and the various factors that have stunted certain videos on my channel.
EmpLemon, Youtube's system of marking videos as watched or not is currently broken to me. Videos I've watched, such as your Reality Check video, are no longer marked as watched (The red bar thing at the bottom of the thumbnail doesn't show anymore for that video). I currently do not see your Reality Check video in the suggestions column.
The fact is that YouTube and it’s overlord google are both reliant on advertising to survive. This puts them both in a very precarious position when shit like this happens. I’m not forgiving them for anything they’ve done, but I think it’s extremely important to see their position.
I already knew something was the fuck up, but when you showed that single view from "YT advertising", whoever - or whatever - that is, I got sketched out more than ever prior.
Goddamit YouTube, stop doing all of this shit to your content creators and fix all of your crappy bots or you will have a huge riot on your hands. You have been warned.

Well that is strange. Your video has been on the top of my iPhone YouTube app homepage for the last three day. They only reason I never watched it is because I have no interest in Youtube rewind 2017.
So what's being said is 20 of my videos were viewed by "YouTube advertising"? The demonetizations also appear slightly more random to me as one of the ones kept monetized had the word "fappy" in it. That said, it ain't doing justice for splicers like me.
yHey, I'm not a youtuber, really, I just try and pay attention to how the system functions. From what I've heard from other speaking on the subject of 'the algorithm', which is the mechanism by which videos are suggested, your channel just isn't really preferred by the algorithm. You've gone through some major changes in your channel's structure and content fairly recently and the algorithm doesn't promote channel's videos if their content isn't consistent. That's why everyone opens secondary channels for content that diverges from their channel's normal content. Basically the algorithm doesn't care about you if it can't put your content in a box. And you don't really put your content in a box, so Youtube doesn't promote it. By the way, I'm NOT on Youtube's side here, but I don't think their trying to suppress your channel, they just don't care about you, and because you aren't consistent with your video content, you aren't worth the effort to promote. Keep doing you!
i love your work and i am not trying to insult you, but possibly its just because your a smaller channel then the other channels and you don't have YouTube rewind in the title. because the way YouTube algorithm works is that at this time of year those video's are promoted, as to spread the video itself, or spread parodies, like last year when nigahiga made a parody. (promoting the original video.) so you more so got cucked because the algorithm had a bigger word-key to focus on.
9:45 depends no, not at all. yes. i feel like heavily disliked videos shouldn't perform well, while heavily liked videos proform better... and even then, the video should be reviewed before getting such a treatment.
I feel like the only reason the youtube rewind 2017 has any likes is that youtube artificially put likes in. i really dont know what kind of person would leave a like on youtube rewind.
I'm pretty sure I only got the vid in my suggested because I watch every one of your videos within 2 days of uploading, cause who knows when they'll remove your vids or something. Keep riding that D O W N W A R D S P I R A L pal.
Idk if it helps, but I came across your Tank the Rewind video when it was sensibly linked from Reddit (r/OutOfTheLoop, because I was, having never cared about Rewind prior to this entire year of YT fucking up and blatantly disrespecting it's content providers, and your video was cited by the user to be the most concise summation).
Perhaps another thing to consider/rule out in your drop in views: were there any vids that came out from popular channels or got particularly big that could have "pushed" your video down the recommended video queue as it were? Would that even make a difference? The search code must think it's Relevant enough because it's not far down the list when searching "Youtube rewind", so I honestly wonder. Are you dealing with the same obstacles other "undesirable" channels are facing?
Mmm, i cant wait to go to the big company store on cashmas, and spend money on a brand new, just like the last one but "better", more expensive, 100% fat and ad free Disney made steamed hams.
And yet somehow I’m here with a bunch of mega edge content and only 1 video of mine has actually been taken down, albeit on a technicality so it’s not necessarily totally unjustified, at least that’s what they claim.
the human kind is a very precious life form that make his way from his own effort, good and bad people come and go at the timeline of the history, in 2017 the humans rights has been forgotten for those who claim liberty and equality,oppresing the people, crush Palestina, censoring our liberty of expresion on youtube, take the free internet and selling to powerfull compañies, dark times are come for this beautiful planet and his habitants. like said Edmund Burke:"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing".
Backup all your videos on something like BitChute. I know the site has pretty terrible and mediocre content but just so your stuff doesn't get deleted.
I support Net Neutrality, but check it. Ajit Pai actually talked about YouTube Censorship on Fox News, name one politician that supports Net Neutrality who actually talks about YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Censorship like Pai did.
1.While I personally don't think it is ethical, there are many people out there that think it is, and they have been voicing their opinions since the birth of media itself. Look at movies for example. In the 1910s and the 20s filmmakers had free reign to film and make money off of any film they wanted and expect the same general audience to see it. Then in the 30s people started making very controversial and obscene films, and that's when we got the moral nazis that are the MPAA. Books have been banned, and so have TV shows. There will always be morality police, whether it is from the left wing SJWs or the Right Wing religious nuts, and they are a blessing and a curse. They can keep some people from doing terrible things by telling them they are wrong, however they have always been the biggest threat to creative and innovative thinking.
2. You have to remember, you are an amateur. There are people out there whose job it is to speak on controversial topics while not offending anyone. Why do they have these jobs? Three words, public image matters. You are reflecting bad on a company if you make a video with a ton of obscenity. YouTube doesn't want to be like a 4chan or pornhub where anything goes, it wants to be an appealing site that gives decent quality content that is fluffed up.
3. I think it does for the near future, but right now we aren't in a stage of censorship, rather we are on the verge of regulation. The future of the internet is going to be regulated. Will this silence some people, yes, but it happens with every medium we see. It was honestly a matter of time.

Net Neutrality is shit, so I don't know why you're complaining about that at the end.
Explore the terrible world of earth Where big evil corporations take control of every thing And every thing is silenced, Be forced to smile and buy there products Be spied every moment And then Lose your sentience
Lmao people acting like this is the end of the world. The world isn't going to fall to dictatorship because you're not allowed to post your highly edited videos about some shit.
This seems more of an algorithm problem and not censorship. If YT didn't like the criticism then why are all the videos you showed getting suggested and aren't taken down? This seems like you just got screwed over by the bad algorithm not suggesting your video. For example the Youtuber Lazarbeam got demonetized and screwed over for the longest time for no reason, and he gets good views, but even he said he had the most views over the course of 48 hours.
Maybe because other people watch booming in bucks FAMOUS ( 1,000,000 subs or over) people who have more people to get views from. And YouTube wants to keep this trend going
I was surprised at how that video got way fewer views than your other popular videos and i'm glad you noticed too, it is really weird how that happened
Theory #1: That one advertiser view may have been a bot. It saw how well your video was doing and decided to scan it to see if it was suitable for monetization. But halfway through the scan, it picked up all the controversial content in the video and decided to dismiss it from recommended videos all together even before the scan was complete.
Theory #2: Consider this; YouTube Rewind got at least 1 million dislikes and your video managed to get around 150,000 views. Meaning that eventually a majority of the people who disliked the Rewind were already aware of the video’s intentions elsewhere (Twitter, Discord, etc). It’s possible that it was a simple view decline.
Theory #3: Someone reported it, and YouTube decided since it wasn’t monetized nor violated any terms that they would just slip it under the rug, thinking no one, not even the creator would notice.
Wow, from seeing you make ytp's, to exposing a bit of important information that most of us average users are oblivious to. Emp, you are a quality youtuber.
I see two positive aspects of this situation: 1.) Even though ScrewTube may have tried to censor your video by a theoretical blocking bot, it didn't even fully work. The Rewind STILL got trashed and lots of people still got/will get your message. I bet now that lots of schools are going on break, kids will have more time in front of their screens to watch ScrewTube. We can also reasonably assume that at least some of them will be fans of yours and will watch your video that exposes the Screwiness of the Tube. Hopefully, this will help give the video a power boost. 2.) If the video, which you've made right now reaches enough people, a massive unorganized investigation will unfold in which the common viewer begins to notice little things. When the little things are put together they become a massive weapon against ScrewTube. If enough collective evidence is brought before a large enough amount viewers to become a trendy issue, it will spread like a wildfire that ScrewTube will have no hope of controlling. Assuming it goes that far, ScrewTube may finally yield to us, the oppressed YouTubers (not ScrewTubers).
Emp, people like you motivate me to impact the world, to change it, and make a positive difference in the grand scheme of time. The fact that you mentioned your Reality Check/Tank the Rewind video with all these likes/views, including one from me, probably made a huge difference in time. Imagine if that like wasn't there. I know it wouldn't make that big a difference; it's just a like or view, but still, I'm a part of those likes. In a way, the likes/views were mentioned in this video; likes/views including me or probably Pie or NPCarlsson. With all that said... thank you for the shoutouts to my like/view, as well as others.
By the way, I hate censorship. I hate it so much. Everyone should have the freedom of speech. Everyone. Companies like the FCC are so unbearably sensitive.
It's just a lottery really. Sometimes they'll feature your video, sometimes they won't. You can have a ton of popular videos in a row, then you can keep making the same kind of videos and they'll be ignored. There's no logic to the system
I fucking hate youtube man. And i used to love this website. I'd go on it every day and watch all kinds of cool things. sad to see it in its terrible state today
Interestingly, the original video was on top of my suggested for weeks after I watched it. I think I even watched it twice! Weird. I don't doubt you're being suppressed from normie suggestions though
i don't understand. if what youtube wants is to make money, what's the point of not telling creators how to avoid being demonetized? doesn't it lose money for everyone if creators are forced to guess at what advertisers want?
This thing just goes farther down the rabbit hole. It is like a crazy uncharted story in the sense it gets crazier and crazier. Also why censor when you can educate and censor stops you from educating and to point out that censoring promotes ignorance which is sad
Now I'm not a super technical wizard and a master of the youtube algarthim and bots and shit, but as an experiment, what if you upload the most vulgar and profain (audio only) video possible, and put a quite or inaudible static in the background maybe the bazis wont censor it
if this is based on the auto-generated captions, does that mean that if I make a video about funk music, it might still be suppressed even without any swear-words, because the captions are wrong half the time?
This probably isn't the case but maybe it's because of that giraffe video you made with the intention for it to pop up in everyone's recommended. Youtube could have made all your uploads appear less in peoples recommendations to prevent it from working
This strikes me as odd. I assumed the demonetization bot was built into the site since it could flag videos before they even finished. Why make an external bot?
Neal Rame Why even use a bot? Why give a robot that only takes what the subtitles that could possibly wrong as proof enough to demonitize or possibly bankrupt someone? They need to use people for something as serious as monetization. Whether or not you get money from a video could mean whether or not you get to eat that day.
Because YouTube has proven that it really doesn't give a fuck about its content creators. I remember they used to run ads on demonetized videos have all the revenue go straight to YouTube. I wonder if they still do that?
Neal Rame I really can't imagine how disappointed the original creators are. Selling YouTube to Google was the worst thing they could do. YouTube had a great premise, it was one of the first video sharing sites avaible and the best and Google took what could've been one of the best think tanks ever and turned it into actual trash. Now, it's cucked to shit and there are such things as offensive ideas.
I think the "YouTube advertising" thing that watched your video might have been YouTube themselves. But, what debunks this (in my opinion, at least) is that it only watched your video for 50 seconds.
Also with ads sometimes I see ads that tell you how to get free __ and it's always a scam from gta to Roblox the ads try to scam you out of your account and steal you shit.
Bullshit, they're drinking their wine from a lead chalice. They're the one's killing themselves. "Dying out" infers that it's an inevitability - a freak thing of nature.
I say good riddance. I love Youtube with all my heart, but we need a different, more free platform. Just as the founding fathers of America stuck it to the most powerful force in the world and won, we need to do the same against Youtube and find some other site that can handle this shit adequately.
Dude maybe youtube's recommendation feature just preferred other people videos over yours or people preferred other peoples videos to your even when they saw both videos next to each other
How is this censorship? It will be one thing if your video taken down by YouTube itself. But if what you saying is true, then it hasn't be unreachable to get, it just have been harder cause of the similar videos.
giovanni moise There is a growing trend of "soft censorship". Blatantly deleting videos is very obvious and causes uproar. Quietly reducing it's impact massively and massively reducing it's chance to be discovered isn't obvious. We have seen this trend begin with the implementation of shadow bans on many sites, it's better to silence people and either hide their views or limiting them heavily so whatever they say will never reach a wide audience.
If youtube doesn't like you, you don't make money. If you want to be monetized and rely on adsense to make a living you need to diversify and use patreon and setup your own website where people can view your videos and you can sell your own ads on your own website(actually making money from your views instead of allowing google to get a %). Maybe even "buy that merch stoe for ur squadfam". you have a fanbase, pull some followers to your own website with your own privacy policy and no censorship. You can make a paywall like patreon or list free content from youtube hosted next to your own ads, you just need to find an ad agency that will pay per view or click. Need help message me I'm interested in side work. Youtube and patreon are just services. You aren't forced to use their platform but it is the most widely used and now you've built something great here on youtube you can't expect it to last forever. Especially coming out against them in any way.
I fucking hate YouTube I have made less than successful videos and I understand that I’m not the best YouTuber at all but YouTube didn’t promote any of my video in any recommend video lists I got no promotion at all
I'm starting to think everything now just wants money..ROBLOX(You know why *ODing)..XBOX (I can't login back to my XboxGold acc, 60 dollars!)YT, why..WHY and more

Instead I get recommended streams, vevos, random russian videos, trending videos, random let's plays, songs that I have already listened, random vine refugees and other rather irrelevant garbage. I don't mind the system favoring certain things, but this is just forcefully preventing people from discovering videos they want to see.

"YouTube advertising" normally appears when your video is played on another video as an ad, but since this vid was not monetized nor advertised through YouTube advertising, this seems really suspicous, and the theory about a random YouTube employee/upper management watching this video makes sense. Another theory is that YouTube glitched out and played your video as an ad on someone else's video (probably 1-6 times, accounting for 5 second ad skip time)

It's another extension of Google to get personal information from you. What your interests and watch habits are, and your lifestyle if you upload videos of yourself.

I don't get how that could be seen as the vompany supporting the videos they literally had never seen in their lives.

2 likesThis video is really intersting, and shows how scummy YouTube really is. The way they say you can upload what you want aslong as you don't support hate speech, it's all good. But it's not, they censor it, and delete it because of the language, and subject matter. The advertisers are just as scummy by saying "We can't show our ad's on videos that mention the Las Vegas shooting, unless it's Jimmy Kimmel, and or it's a live CNN broadcast". It's complete horse shit, and YouTube needs to check what the fuck they're doing, and just stop going as far as they are for censorship.

All videos should be allowed equal opportunity to profit and gain ad revenue.

0 likes1. the golden age of clarity: this would happen shortly after, and hints of it coming into being are already in play. For example: Channels like EmpLemon and topics pointing out flaws in big companies. One day, a short time later, these intellectuals will become the dominating majority of the internet, and successfully overthrow assbags like Youtube.
2. The dark age of the internet: Signs of this are also coming into play, and... it's not looking good. One day, even if it is a minority, more and more people will realize exactly what is happening. The internet will stop trying to, say, exceed limits and stuff like clickbait videos and spam will either cease or just be ignored. The sad thing about this future is, that the longer we try to postpone actually realizing what is to come, the longer it will take for another golden age of the internet.

8 likesThat said that's the real reason as to why you cannot just immediately play a video on a certain web based Internet browser, some may not even support video file formats just yet and are awaiting that kind of configuration by those Internet browsers creators, this is something that a very large portion of the Internet back then didn't know yet, sometimes even today though the same problem still exists showing a error on websites or by computer error windows stating that the site your on besides YouTube attempting to play a video from those other sites don't support certain video file formats as well, they may even say while although you have Adobe Flash Player installed that you need it installed as if its a bugged message on the site or an error message your computer may show someday, that said the video may not even be on the site anymore besides its thumbnail being available somewhere in the Internet where it'll display a image of the video before its played only and when you click the video however it may be deleted, corrupted, the site your on may not even have been configured properly to handle playing videos at all, so with that said, there's still sites that are still today showing advertisement images, or video thumbnails that don't have anything to get/see from after clicking them other then the possibility that clicking them may be putting your security of your computers hard drive at some risk with hackers who hack those adverts/thumbnails a certain way to be able and brick your PC's or perhaps steal your passwords to sites, credit card information etc...

*your videos
0 likesI’ve been studying the recommended videos sidebar of videos (which most people use) and have discovered a major flaw. I figured out it was a different algorithm from the main recommended videos algorithm. This flaw doesn’t show in the main algorithm. The flaw makes the algorithm like looping, meaning it likes recommending videos that you already watched, mostly the 15 or so last videos. This trend might possibly be mobile exclusive, since when I watch Youtube on my PC I don’t notice this issue, but it might just have to be with the fact that I watch Youtube much more often on my phone and not my computer. This might not be a common issue, so tell me if you encounter it also.

0 likesI think the reason they hinder the performance of demonetized videos isn't for the sake of the community guidelines; even before what happened on YouTube in 2017, it wasn't a secret that their primary objective was to make money. I believe they censor demonetized videos more because, that way, monetized videos will be more likely to appear in suggestions, and there will be more of them. This way, viewers will be more likely to click on an advertiser-friendly video, thus upping their profits even more. Even if your video wasn't monetized, I take it YouTube didn't want their casual viewers to notice their flaws and the many content creators that were controversial and rebellious. YouTube simply wants a platform where there's no uprising of content creators wanting justice, and a safe system to generate revenue. Greedy shits.

Regarding the questions:
1) No.
2) No; not allowing adds is one thing, but actively throttling access is another.
3) Not really, but only because the precedent is already there. YT will continue to fuck over its content creators, as surely as the sun will rise.

In his case, it wasn't profanity or anything like that, it's just that one of his videos was unusually successful.

1 likeSomething I commented on your last video that I'll say again here since there's a better chance of you seeing it, is the fact that despite having notifications on for every upload of yours, I never got one for your last video, nor did it ever show up in my recommended feed, but a week later after its release, on my home tab on the mobile app. I don't know if this was more of that spicy censorship, but if anyone else reports something similar, then we have reason to believe it actually happened

2 likesFree Speech Quotes:
14 likesMany people don't know this, but it's possible to read something you don't agree with on the Internet and simply move on with your life.
Freedom of speech doesn't protect speech you do like; it protects speech you don't like.
Being offended doesn't make you right.
When you resort to attacking the messenger and not the message, you have lost the debate.
Learn to be open minded and respectful to people's opinions, even when you don't agree.
A funny thing about tolerant people? They're really only tolerant when you agree with them.
If we do not believe in freedom of speech for those we despise we do not believe in it all all.
Those who do not know their opponent's viewpoints do not completely understand their own.
Freedom of speech is for everyone not just those you agree with.
Freedom is hammered out on the anvil of discussion, dissent, and debate.
We need more people speaking out. This country is not overrun with rebels and free thinkers. It's overrun with sheep and conformist.
What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist.
It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it.
Freedom of speech: Because my rights are more important than your feelings.
The only valid censorship of ideas is the right of people not to listen.
I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular.
To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the right of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.
Freedom of speech is the most enduring, stablizing, and sustainable value of a free society.
Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it.
If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
'Freedom of speech' means you support the right of people to say exactly those ideas which you do not agree with.
Hate speech is just free speech that liberals don't like.

The worst thing they can do is keep going on this downward spiral.

If nothing is done, YouTube will destroy itself and the video-sharing industry.

YT is a typical company as it's very concerned with $ and growth, nothing out of the ordinary, nothing insidious. However, they're also actively trying their hands at social engineering. YT, like many "tech" companies, are filled with the new left (which are an aggressive, closed minded and generally out of touch bunch). I really dislike the term "anti-American", but that's exactly what this new left is at their core. Nevermind that this nation hasn't always lived the ideals of freedom of all types, it was at least something to shoot for. The new left cares nothing for freedom whatsoever and seeks overt control of every kind. That is anti-American.

1 likeEmpLemon hey, I discovered something. The screenshot that you showed says the bot from YouTube advertising viewed for 50 seconds, and that is right when you said the word normie. For some strange reason, the autocaptions capitalized normie like a proper noun, so I assume that the bot counts the word normie as slang or an insult so that contributed to the sensorship.

We HAD Vid.me, but that got shut down.
0 likesBecause you need 100's of millions of dollars to invest in something like that. It isn't like you have a web browser and you know how to code da html's and now u got yourself Youtube 2
1 likeIts a good idea but so many have already tried and failed. The fact is, you can't use a website to beat YouTube. My idea is peer-2-peer. A program on your desktop that connects you directly to other users with no middle man. Your fav creator places a video in their "share" folder and the program allows others to watch it straight from their program on their machine. No censorship that way.
2 likesThe problem not Why doesn't someone make another site, but more of why doesn't anyone make the jump. The viewers are ready to do it, but if the content creators are terrified to take the risk, the viewers will see no point and think everything fine. They don't want to risk their financial lives, and how far they came, and don't want to drop Youtube no matter what. If it's not that, it's the website financial issue too, where they need the ads.

0 likesI don't know why any other company tried to make a video hosting website capitalizing on the disaster that youtube is becoming by offering a guaranteed monetization system, with a good marketing campaing they could bring the people to their website and we could abandon youtube forever. I know doing such thing is really difficult because yt is a monopoly and previous attempts didn't work, wich disencourages companies to invest in a new platform, but it could happen.

See my comment close to this one. Basically my idea but the system I'm working on has no website or central server. It's peer-2-peer so no one person or entity can control content.
0 likesWrestless this kind of service isn't very user friendly for the masses – wich are the ones who brings the money – so it's likely that it would fail unfortunately
0 likesWhen people hear Peer-2-Peer they think "Torrents" like Vuze and BitTorrent but my idea was something much more polished and easy to use. It's all speculation right now and grand ideas in my head but who knows. Maybe one day I'll be able to put it all together...or get it crowdfunded haha

0 likes@riddell26 You have no idea what you're talking about lol brush up on your legal theory a bit.
0 likes@Dakota Taylor either way you are arguing that because it's a corporation it can censor what it wants. Even though it is an open platform that a majority of people use, like Facebook to keep up to date on information or entertainment. Considering how dumb/lazy the average US citizen is they believe the first thing they see and regurgitate it without due diligence. Public opinion can be swayed very easily by these companies. The fact that you defend these practices of either straight blocking, or burying it to where the majority won't see it shows how misled of an American you are. Censorship of any viewpoint is wrong no matter how much it may offend or make people uncomfortable. You either have freedom of speech or you don't, there is no nit picking or by definition it isn't free. But please continue to argue for and defend corporations, instead of the people. In the end you are arguing to be right, not for what is right. Our opinions may differ but that's the beauty of it all, we can share different view points and learn from them. Have a good day. 🤝

1 likeALSO YouTube, as I’ve found out, automatically demonetizes videos that have games in the title that can be seen as remotely offensive. Basically say game X is really popular, but a lot of the people playing it got it demonitized for whatever reason. Now, when you upload a video about game X, YouTube will demonetize it automatically, assuming that the unfriendliness is consistent through all videos. Then, after appealing, the video gets remonetized. The only problem with this, like Emp said, is that most views for videos come in the first couple of days, so most views you get were from a time when you were demonitized.

0 likesI need you to test something. Make a youtube video that Youtube is great or something and under it add a link to some site that you can upload the video that is against it (and see the views)
0 likesI wonder if you can trick the algoritems that way.
I think what happens is if you get over a certain number of views (ie the number of views that would make the video marketable) YouTube's AI scans the video to see if it's able to be monetized (and if needs to be buried to keep provocative videos away from the main page). Oh and if you make "offensive" content too much you'll be tagged as a creator of offensive content and be demonetized outright and will have to submit all vids to monetization and pass the censor enough times to get back on Google's AI's good graces. It's social manipulation driven by the actions of the big corps as a result of market and social forces.
0 likesI've heard rumors that the video monetization is influenced by the comment section toxicity. If we yell racial slurs in the comment section we might get your videos flagged.

0 likesI’ve been a fan since 2014, the ytp uncredibles is what caught me I believe, I forgot it was a long time ago. You’ve came a long way since then and I like to thank you for your contribution for calling out YouTube and demonization bullshit for political purposes.
0 likesLad, I have watched multiple of your videos, I've been following you for years (not subscribed) now hear me out. Youtube is a business, it's a company, it's a service. They are gonna implement measurments because the content produced and uploaded to the site is vast and too much for human laborwork to handle. Even demonitized and hidden videos have been catched to share ilegal content, and I'm not talking about gore, I mean worse. (You browse 4chin like me, so you can guess th stuff by your own experience). Yes, most of the manouvers are gonna hit on people that try to speak their minds and creativity to the world. But here's the thing, creativity and open mindness is not profitable. It hasn't been and it will never be. This is why the people who are attached to more creative and outside content usually reside in very shitty and unstable sites. Nobody not even their own users want to sustain them. I like to watch your videos, I enjoy them, the Meme Theory of Trump was an enjoyable view. But try to stay out of trying to raise a point or "awareness". There's nothing to prove or fight, and less for a monoplio as big as this site that can eleminate you with the press of the button. But hey, if you want to be a rebel and fight against it, go ahead. Maybe I'm just too old to to care for these things. Anyhow, have a nice one and will be checking on your new vids.
0 likesI don't care what YouTube or anyone else thinks/says, I still love watching your videos, including your YTPs.
1 likeWhile I don't follow you much, I'm mostly interested in the ytps, I have to say these videos you're doing about the state of youtube are really well done and enlightening. Youtube has been going down the shitter, but seeing how rotten they have become does really upset me.
0 likesI really wish that some competitor would rise to fuck up youtube really badly. Something that resembles the good youtube of old times, not this bullshit that's even worse than television.
If it can be of interest, I got this video recommended a week after ya upped it.
Here's the thing, YouTube demonitizes videos with "controversial topics."
0 likesThe YouTube problem, seems controversial to some people, so just bringing it up deems the video to be breaking the rules.
Buddy, I think you might have just made the first crack in the dam. Also, the fact they monitor the captions, rather than the video itself is suspect. For one, I'm sure we've all seen just how horribly inaccurate they are. This means you could go an entire 30-minute video without swearing once, yet since the captions' accuracy is so poor, there might be a bunch of swears in the captions that the algorithm will pick up on and demonetize the video because of. Another thing to think about: Youtube controls the algorithm that generates the automatic captions, meaning that, if they so chose in the future, they could tweak it in a way that it will interpret and display certain, commonly-said things about Youtube's business model as nasty swear words, which the 'advertiser-friendly check' algorithm would then use as reasons to demonetize the video, making it get less views, and ultimately make it harder to even find.
0 likesDude keep doing what you’re doing.
0 likesWoah when you started talking about the YouTube Advertising bot thing, shit started to get somewhat scary.
0 likesHonestly, I think the only time anyone, be it the government or a private business, should be able to censor what someone is saying is if said someone is deliberately trying to incite violence or hatred (or at the very least, they should need more of a reason than "I don't agree with what you're saying").
0 likesMate, I HIGHLY recommend making some backups for this video and uploading them onto other websites, they will look for ANY reason to remove this sort of thing from their website.
0 likesGaww, darn.
0 likesI really thought that the animators had fun on that last sequence, and it was the only good part!
But it turns out not.
I imagined thinking that, if I ever create an animated series/characters/whatever that somehow hit it big, I'd animate in Rewind for fun.
But now, seeing as how they treat their animators, I think I'd rather stay low.
A fascinating analysis, seems the rabbit hole keeps getting deeper.
0 likesIt seems like a lot of these issues could have been avoided if YouTube didn't have advertisers at all, and instead used some other means of monetizing videos. But, with that genie out of the bottle, and corporations being what they are, I don't know if this kind of chicanery is going to stop. I hope I'm wrong about that.
8:31 I love how that thing only watched 50 seconds of the video to censor you. I downloaded that video and saw that it stopped getting views and uploaded it to my channel, saying that you watch the original video as well to support you.
1 likeI lost 75% at 50 seconds as well and that’s where you said “these commie pigheads like to see”. And my recommended views are 31.1% in the beginning and die to 18.9 % average. It died almost the same day as it got uploaded. My stats aren’t that exact because, I came back and commented and i don’t have a viewership or anything that would watch a video after a day it got uploaded. But the recommended part is fascinating to me. Most views came from my channel page and people who are notified to me. With recommended being deadlast.
once you start censoring one offensive thing, you have to censor all offensive things. but where do you draw the line? youtube is obviously struggling with this. it has become more of a "censor everything, or nothing at all" kind of mindset. it's scary. that said, always enjoy your content. happy holidays mister emperor
0 likesI have a theory for the future of youtube. I think that because of this censorship, youtube as a platform will suffer. Not just for the people who go on this site and watch the videos, but the employee's of Youtube itself. Eventually, youtube will hit into a lawsuit so ahrd that it may cumble before our eyes. With subjects like this being brought to mind, I think Emplemon is being a youtuber that loves his platform and does not want it to be ran by corporate sellouts, willing to kill a channel because they wanted to tell themselves. And if youtube ever hits that lawsuit and crumbles down, it may just be what it once was, broadcasting yourself. But their could be another thing that google does. It could find a new site after youtube crashes. But I digress. Goodnight.
0 likesThe ironic thing about YouTube is that they could really give a damn what you have to say in the comments. What some people say on here (in general) blows my mind and they get no reprimand or nothing.

People will watch a video thats long depending on what the video is about. A video about the critically acclaimed behind the meme will get a lot of views and the fact that its a 32 minute video will make the video very successful

I remember you made the video almost immediantly after the Youtube Rewind came out. So, there was your boost.

lolinatorishere this has nothing to do with net neutrality. Do you even know what net neutrality is? It was an act that ensured data is treated equally. YouTube is not an Internet provider. YouTube censored before net neutrality, so your statement makes zero sense.

You need to re-word that.

0 likesWhy does he, its a simple consept and literally every youtuber has covered it already
1 likeBecause there's always the other side of the coin which no one likes to talk about. For example, net neutrality is here to stay. What they're getting rid of is title II of net neutrality which was reinstated in 2015 under the Obama administration. I know this dude browses /pol/ so he probably knows what's up.
1 likeI don't see your arguement...also, call me a bandwagon, but literally 80% of America, no matter what portion of the political compass, disagrees with what you just suggested.
0 likesNet neutrality is a good thing and It protects our internet freedom and the only reason it was repealed is because ajit pai is a corporate shill that only cares about a small portion of the US, thats all there is to it and your disagreement with it is just you being manipulated by the lies of buisnesses and the chairmen who voted to repeal it
0 likesSniph me see the thing that set me off about net neutrality is that it's "slogan" is a free and open internet. However that is coming from the same people who censor people who disagree with them such as google. And before 2015 when the new laws were set in place everything was perfectly fine, and in fact net neutrality was enforced before then. And this shit about "muh netflix is gunu throtel" is false because the new ruling acknowledges that as anti competitive and will enforce it. I'm going to put a link to a picture that explains this in a separate comment. Tell me if it goes through.

0 likesI just wanted to say that I found you quite recently through the suggested videos and subscribed almost instantaneously, so don't give up the good fight my friend. As an early uploader to YouTube making mediocre YTP's back in 2007-2008, I find all of your content fascinating. YouTube has been going downhill (ever since the google+ integration in my opinion), and we need people like you exposing their totalitarian ways to the new-comers of this website. Thank you.

0 likesOn net nutrality: The best choice we have now if the federal government is playing hands off is to turn to state government and get them to impose net nutrality. If a state legislative senator or representative gets a bunch of calls suggesting this they will go for the easy way to please their constituents, or at the very least we are draining big company lobbyists as they buy more and more officials. Although, the legislatures wont take that money if they know it will mean they lose their office.

0 likesEventually this situation will become like adoption of the L85, where Britain repeatedly swept the very obvious problems with the weapon under the rug while soldiers were left a questionable device to keep them alive. After multiple studies and research like your and other YouTuber's videos, they eventually couldn't keep the glaring issues under the rug and sent the design to H&K for an extreme makeover. This created the L85A2, something many agree to be acceptable to be used in combat. I'm really hoping YouTube gets shipped off on it's own or gets under management by a new company to have something at least acceptable to use for browsing the internet's videos.

0 likesOk, I was going to make a comment saying that Youtube removed your video from recommended bacause no monetization = no money for them, but since you did not monetize it in the 1st place...yep, censorship detected.
0 likesIf YouTube continues down this path it will be dead by 2019
0 likesWell on the bright side, this video has around 25% of viewers hitting the like button, so there's that
0 likesAnother way YouTube censors videos is that they automatically blur parts of the video, if they did this to block number-plates and things that can be used to dox another person, then fine. But there using it to block out parts of videos from channels like Filthy Frank (which is where I saw it take place) YOUR CHANNEL , and many others, which you may take as YouTube patrolling there content, but it blocks alot of things which people wanted to "Broadcast" which goes against there old motto, I think alot of this is to do with when google bought YouTube, and turned it into another shady money-making business

0 likesThe repeal of Net Neutrality gives corporations more power? Well, that's where you're wrong.
0 likesThe whole concept of Net Neutrality is to give corporations like Comcast and Verizon the top power in the market for wireless products and ISPs. If you were to remove net neutrality, all internet traffic will no longer be at the same price (let's say you don't use Netflix, with NN you have to pay the same amount of bandwidth that Netflix takes up even though you don't use it, without NN you can pay for how much bandwidth you use. This is why Netflix does not support net neutrality, not because there some activist to "free the net", but instead because they will make less money). Also, small ISPs will now start booming once again before 2015, since before 2015 it was basically useless to start a small ISP company if every single isp has to go by the same standards.
I'm not here to say whether YOU SHOULD be in favor or not in favor of net neutrality, what I am saying is you shouldn't make it a free vs not free internet situation, but instead a Liberal vs Conservative issue, go by the political belief that you represent with yourself. I get the Indian man doesn't communicate in debates or with people on the web about the issue and his stance, but that does not excuse the lack of research Americans can do about the issue. People automatically assume that Ajit is a piece of shit because Philip DeFuckface says so or that Jewthan Klein made a funny meme on twitter about it, but if we had a full debate election style, most US citizens will stop waving their shitty "Don't tread on me" photoshopped jpeg on twitter. Like you said on your MEME THEORY about Trump "Some people are too busy, too lazy, or just too stupid to get politics".
I had an idea for content I wanted to make, but at this point it’s probably pointless.

0 likesEmperor Lemon, I will support your channel no matter what. I've been subscribed to you for about 3 years now and I can say that YouTube has become a but of a dreary place now. But I always seem to find those diamond-in-the-rough channels, and I'm glad I found yours before you got too lost in this bizarre era of YouTube. Keep up the good work my man!
0 likesDamn, you do loads of research for this stuff. Most people go "Finally, someone that understands!" instead of "Finally, someone that understood so much they did the extra work to help others understand!". You're a champ
0 likesEmpLemon, you're the voice of the internet. I thank you.
0 likesI really like your videos on the politics/inner workings on Youtube. The fact that, as you've stated, YouTube isn't your job probably works really well in your favour. I think your arguments are well researched, fair and well argued. Keep up the good work :)
0 likesYou know lemon, I didn't know all that much about YouTube's iner workings until you made that rewind video and this one. I am not a content creator, just a viewer. But learning this made me want to help content creators, all this shit robs them of profit which makes them not want or not be able to make content. You keep going, it's a good thing
0 likesWhat Youtube has done so far in 2017 shows how scummy they are and how little they care about their creators. I truly find it hard to believe that the adpocalypse only started in January of this year.

0 likesthis content is really great emp, keep it up.
0 likesI miss the time when it was your own fault for watching videos on YouTube and that you had to be 14 to create an account. With Disney watering down Hollywood and YouTube watering down it's availability, kids of the next generation are going to grow up with silver spoons stuffed up their ass.
0 likesIt would NOT surprise me, if Disney bought out the rights to Harry Potter and we got another 10 movies, just so they could sell merchandise and drown in their profit gain creating movies with no clarity. If you think JK Rowling or even Warner Bros would never give up the rights, it only takes so much offering before heads start getting turned. The're already making a deal with FOX for $60 Billion. They already have Marvel and Star Wars and don't get me wrong i dont mind Disney they do well with Pixar but for bigger franchises creating eye candy entertainment blinding viewers with forced popcorn flick story telling and cheesy dialog isn't going to impress many people especially adults.
The world is getting far too watershed.
That bit with the youtube advertising bot was disturbing to say the least. It's undeniable proof that whatever content you make will be seen and judged by youtube in order for them to have the maximum amount of control over their website in the end. I wouldnt be suprised if they have a bot that judges and deletes comments as well if they are suitable or not.

0 likesTrue freedom can never be reached, but I implore to YouTube to try to allow everyone to speak their mind, regardless of the future consequences. It's better to die with knowledge than to live in ignorance.
0 likesWell, shit. I thought going unmonetized would keep me on the recommended side of YouTube, but I experienced the same thing recently. Dammit.
0 likesWe should've abandoned YouTube when we still have a chance. Now without net neutrality new platforms never gonna be able to stand a chance without make deal with internet providers.
0 likesEmp, this is some pretty groundbreaking shit, we gotta get this knowledge out there
0 likesHonestly, what needs to happen is a strike. Viewers need to stop watching YouTube and creators need to stop making content until the higher-ups submit. This will never happen unfortunately because we the viewers are too infatuated with YouTube to restrain from using it, and the creators can’t afford to stop making content cause it’s their livelihood.
0 likesMy videos got hit with the censor shadow ban too. I went from 50k views a month to just under 25k. I made 50K when I wasn't even making new content. I started making new stuff and got a video that exploded in popularity then it was restricted because it butt hurt a few feels. My channel hasn't been the same since. Most of my audience finds me through sharing and browsing.

0 likesAlso this whole net neutrality thing seems to have become a meme, because literally nothing happened with it being repealed
Wonder if there is a way to prevent YouTube advertising from seeing a video.
0 likesYou just needed to make the video 1% more safe.
0 likesBut that would make the video less of an EmperorLemon video.
Could it have anything to do with the fact that you said at the end of the video that anyone could steal it and re-upload it to their channel? Maybe there were so many exact copies that the algorithm was recommending those as well and it reduced the stats for suggestion views across all of them.
0 likesHm... maybe if we dislike every single 2017 video by YouTube (specifically the YouTube Help channel) maybe then they’ll get off their asses!
0 likesIt could be a new thing with relation to reporting bombing or idk. Maybe behind the meme brought his normie army to attack. Lol just kidding, anyways love your videos. Whenever you upload a video, the whole world stops and does not return until the video is over.
0 likesBro, what is happening right now??? Why is this beast of a system allowed to run amok? Something increasingly needs to be done to fix this....
0 likesI think you're on the right track, but I don't think it has to just do with the suggested videos. It seems more like the overall discovery algorithms, which include search results, sub notifications, & all other forms of discovery, are being stunted. And considering Google owns YouTube, and also happens to be the most used search engine, means they can censor whatever the fuck they want. I've watched my two biggest, most prolific videos get demonetized, one of which regained monetized status. The one that's still limited ads had a good 6 day gap in views altogether! I've also seen some strange sources showing up in my discovery analytics, similar to what you showed. I might have to make a response video to this about my own censored content, and the various factors that have stunted certain videos on my channel.
0 likesYou were really just helping, yet they don’t realize what they are doing.
0 likesEmpLemon, Youtube's system of marking videos as watched or not is currently broken to me. Videos I've watched, such as your Reality Check video, are no longer marked as watched (The red bar thing at the bottom of the thumbnail doesn't show anymore for that video).
0 likesI currently do not see your Reality Check video in the suggestions column.
The fact is that YouTube and it’s overlord google are both reliant on advertising to survive. This puts them both in a very precarious position when shit like this happens. I’m not forgiving them for anything they’ve done, but I think it’s extremely important to see their position.
0 likesI already knew something was the fuck up, but when you showed that single view from "YT advertising", whoever - or whatever - that is, I got sketched out more than ever prior.

1 likeyHey, I'm not a youtuber, really, I just try and pay attention to how the system functions. From what I've heard from other speaking on the subject of 'the algorithm', which is the mechanism by which videos are suggested, your channel just isn't really preferred by the algorithm. You've gone through some major changes in your channel's structure and content fairly recently and the algorithm doesn't promote channel's videos if their content isn't consistent. That's why everyone opens secondary channels for content that diverges from their channel's normal content. Basically the algorithm doesn't care about you if it can't put your content in a box. And you don't really put your content in a box, so Youtube doesn't promote it. By the way, I'm NOT on Youtube's side here, but I don't think their trying to suppress your channel, they just don't care about you, and because you aren't consistent with your video content, you aren't worth the effort to promote. Keep doing you!
0 likesi love your work and i am not trying to insult you, but possibly its just because your a smaller channel then the other channels and you don't have YouTube rewind in the title. because the way YouTube algorithm works is that at this time of year those video's are promoted, as to spread the video itself, or spread parodies, like last year when nigahiga made a parody. (promoting the original video.) so you more so got cucked because the algorithm had a bigger word-key to focus on.

0 likesPerhaps another thing to consider/rule out in your drop in views: were there any vids that came out from popular channels or got particularly big that could have "pushed" your video down the recommended video queue as it were? Would that even make a difference? The search code must think it's Relevant enough because it's not far down the list when searching "Youtube rewind", so I honestly wonder. Are you dealing with the same obstacles other "undesirable" channels are facing?

1 likeAll jokes aside Youtube is shit now and I think that creators should move to a different website to post videos.
1.While I personally don't think it is ethical, there are many people out there that think it is, and they have been voicing their opinions since the birth of media itself. Look at movies for example. In the 1910s and the 20s filmmakers had free reign to film and make money off of any film they wanted and expect the same general audience to see it. Then in the 30s people started making very controversial and obscene films, and that's when we got the moral nazis that are the MPAA. Books have been banned, and so have TV shows. There will always be morality police, whether it is from the left wing SJWs or the Right Wing religious nuts, and they are a blessing and a curse. They can keep some people from doing terrible things by telling them they are wrong, however they have always been the biggest threat to creative and innovative thinking.
0 likes2. You have to remember, you are an amateur. There are people out there whose job it is to speak on controversial topics while not offending anyone. Why do they have these jobs? Three words, public image matters. You are reflecting bad on a company if you make a video with a ton of obscenity. YouTube doesn't want to be like a 4chan or pornhub where anything goes, it wants to be an appealing site that gives decent quality content that is fluffed up.
3. I think it does for the near future, but right now we aren't in a stage of censorship, rather we are on the verge of regulation. The future of the internet is going to be regulated. Will this silence some people, yes, but it happens with every medium we see. It was honestly a matter of time.
Net Neutrality is shit, so I don't know why you're complaining about that at the end.

2 likesI was surprised at how that video got way fewer views than your other popular videos and i'm glad you noticed too, it is really weird how that happened
3 likesTheory #1: That one advertiser view may have been a bot. It saw how well your video was doing and decided to scan it to see if it was suitable for monetization. But halfway through the scan, it picked up all the controversial content in the video and decided to dismiss it from recommended videos all together even before the scan was complete.
2 likesTheory #2: Consider this; YouTube Rewind got at least 1 million dislikes and your video managed to get around 150,000 views. Meaning that eventually a majority of the people who disliked the Rewind were already aware of the video’s intentions elsewhere (Twitter, Discord, etc). It’s possible that it was a simple view decline.
Theory #3: Someone reported it, and YouTube decided since it wasn’t monetized nor violated any terms that they would just slip it under the rug, thinking no one, not even the creator would notice.
Wow, from seeing you make ytp's, to exposing a bit of important information that most of us average users are oblivious to. Emp, you are a quality youtuber.
0 likesI see two positive aspects of this situation:
3 likes1.) Even though ScrewTube may have tried to censor your video by a theoretical blocking bot, it didn't even fully work. The Rewind STILL got trashed and lots of people still got/will get your message. I bet now that lots of schools are going on break, kids will have more time in front of their screens to watch ScrewTube. We can also reasonably assume that at least some of them will be fans of yours and will watch your video that exposes the Screwiness of the Tube. Hopefully, this will help give the video a power boost.
2.) If the video, which you've made right now reaches enough people, a massive unorganized investigation will unfold in which the common viewer begins to notice little things. When the little things are put together they become a massive weapon against ScrewTube. If enough collective evidence is brought before a large enough amount viewers to become a trendy issue, it will spread like a wildfire that ScrewTube will have no hope of controlling. Assuming it goes that far, ScrewTube may finally yield to us, the oppressed YouTubers (not ScrewTubers).
One way or another, justice must be had.

1 likei don't understand. if what youtube wants is to make money, what's the point of not telling creators how to avoid being demonetized? doesn't it lose money for everyone if creators are forced to guess at what advertisers want?
0 likessomething stinks bad, here. someone's lying.
Cant take thieves and crooks and try to expose them in their own courts.
0 likesThey even interfered and removed the rewind video from the most disliked videos playlist. It should be the 8th one on that playlist.
0 likesThis thing just goes farther down the rabbit hole. It is like a crazy uncharted story in the sense it gets crazier and crazier. Also why censor when you can educate and censor stops you from educating and to point out that censoring promotes ignorance which is sad

Same here man. It's eerie what YT might be doing behind our backs.
0 likesNow I'm not a super technical wizard and a master of the youtube algarthim and bots and shit, but as an experiment, what if you upload the most vulgar and profain (audio only) video possible, and put a quite or inaudible static in the background maybe the bazis wont censor it
0 likesSo what is this just a theory or did YouTube actually interfere?
0 likesif this is based on the auto-generated captions, does that mean that if I make a video about funk music, it might still be suppressed even without any swear-words, because the captions are wrong half the time?
1 likeJust create your own site already!, i would if i can, i would use all my pocket money for that, but i don't know about it.
0 likesI really hope this isn't true but it seams to be the case.
1 likeThis probably isn't the case but maybe it's because of that giraffe video you made with the intention for it to pop up in everyone's recommended. Youtube could have made all your uploads appear less in peoples recommendations to prevent it from working

0 likesThis strikes me as odd. I assumed the demonetization bot was built into the site since it could flag videos before they even finished. Why make an external bot?

Neal Rame Why even use a bot? Why give a robot that only takes what the subtitles that could possibly wrong as proof enough to demonitize or possibly bankrupt someone? They need to use people for something as serious as monetization. Whether or not you get money from a video could mean whether or not you get to eat that day.
0 likesBecause YouTube has proven that it really doesn't give a fuck about its content creators. I remember they used to run ads on demonetized videos have all the revenue go straight to YouTube. I wonder if they still do that?
0 likesNeal Rame I really can't imagine how disappointed the original creators are. Selling YouTube to Google was the worst thing they could do. YouTube had a great premise, it was one of the first video sharing sites avaible and the best and Google took what could've been one of the best think tanks ever and turned it into actual trash. Now, it's cucked to shit and there are such things as offensive ideas.

Bullshit, they're drinking their wine from a lead chalice. They're the one's killing themselves. "Dying out" infers that it's an inevitability - a freak thing of nature.
1 likeI say good riddance. I love Youtube with all my heart, but we need a different, more free platform. Just as the founding fathers of America stuck it to the most powerful force in the world and won, we need to do the same against Youtube and find some other site that can handle this shit adequately.
tman008 I think the same. We need to get out. Maybe that will tell them to change for better.

giovanni moise There is a growing trend of "soft censorship". Blatantly deleting videos is very obvious and causes uproar. Quietly reducing it's impact massively and massively reducing it's chance to be discovered isn't obvious. We have seen this trend begin with the implementation of shadow bans on many sites, it's better to silence people and either hide their views or limiting them heavily so whatever they say will never reach a wide audience.
0 likesIf youtube doesn't like you, you don't make money. If you want to be monetized and rely on adsense to make a living you need to diversify and use patreon and setup your own website where people can view your videos and you can sell your own ads on your own website(actually making money from your views instead of allowing google to get a %). Maybe even "buy that merch stoe for ur squadfam". you have a fanbase, pull some followers to your own website with your own privacy policy and no censorship. You can make a paywall like patreon or list free content from youtube hosted next to your own ads, you just need to find an ad agency that will pay per view or click. Need help message me I'm interested in side work. Youtube and patreon are just services. You aren't forced to use their platform but it is the most widely used and now you've built something great here on youtube you can't expect it to last forever. Especially coming out against them in any way.
