Upload the same videos to a youtube alternative, the more this happens the more people are going to switch away from youtube and it's cancer, glad your video got reversed, would be happier if it didnt happen in the first place
It's sad that it seems to always take dragging it out into the public for these issues to finally get resolved. I've been hearing more and more about big youtubers getting no response by going through official channels, and only having their appeals/cases responded to by tagging them on Twitter or making a video about it. The bigger dogs are their money-makers, so it doesn't even make sense from a business perspective why they wouldn't be on top of your appeals and how your videos get flagged.
I think the reason it got taken down may have been the image of Hitler and nazis at around 11:47 in your last video. I know even history channels have problems puting that in there videos
Thank fuck! I was worried that I wouldn't get a chance to see it.
Even though I'm subscribed, with notifications turned on, YT still rarely notifies me of your uploads so I'm surprised that this was the first thing that came up on my homepage just now... 14 hours after you posted it... YouTube's new slogan: Near enough is good enough ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm sorry that YT keeps fucking with you, Emp... but I just two new EmpLemon videos in a row to watch, so I'm pretty stoked. Fuck those guys though, I'm heading over to StoryFire right now; thanks for all your hard work to keep shitheads like me entertained. Cheers.
i just uploaded a video that is just the song tequila but it looks for 1 hour and 40 minutes and disney copyright claimed it for infringing on the sandlot
EmpLemon, just so you know, your videos are probably targeted by the system because your channel has a really low P-Score (the channels point/ the youtube point system)
I recommend uploading the video to bitchute and then uploading a 30 second video on here with a link to the actual video. And then also upload the actual video to youtube.
so glad you're back dude. it never should have been that way in the first place, youtube is honestly just completely incompetent at this point. it really doesn't make any sense. i'm happy you're still planning on making the stuff you wanna make, but you shouldn't have to worry about whether it'll be taken down or not;;; either way, glad you got your video back, man.
hey emplemon i like your stuff and all but when ever all this election stuff blows over could you make a video similar to your how trump won with memes about who ever wins this election
Getting some real Atlas Shrugged vibes here "Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws ... just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt..”
You guys do know that YouTube is planning to remove all the EDGY stuff scene 2017 or so . One of my videos on my other channel got age restrictions any way by the way it was like 1 min intro so . Maybe if you guys read the guidelines first .
EMPLEMON logic . YouTube can't do wrong it's run by ✡️. 1 mouth later boo hoo guys 1 of my videos got an age restrictions I can't make money boo hoo i live in fear .
ME by the way. Mean while I live in box and starving every day aw sorry didn't you just defend sussan like last month .
It really is messed up that nobody's allowed to know what the rules are. It's all based on superstitions people have come up with from observing what gets yellow and what gets green. Supposedly you can swear but not in the first 15-30 seconds. Well I can't find anything Google released saying that's true. People had to reverse engineer that black-box style because they're so desperate to follow the rules.
@Stevo Lution how about you go to customer service can't believe that I will say that but YouTube did ad an helper so you can check the rules out . Also scene EMPLEMON is a left wing he must support sussan no matter what
You band the knee for sussan you get demonze . You defend YouTube on the coppa story . You get age restrictions You can all blow me at this point . You guys made this hell hole for your selfs . And just like EMPLEMON once said YouTube will be fine . You think a big tech like YouTube will care if me or you someone gets shadow band . You push for cencorship you will get what you deserve .
@Volvith i did figure out why it's video got age restrictions . Because of a Trump clip . Yeah . Not the monsters effects . But probably over a TRUMP clip . EMPLEMON must read the guidelines . YouTube HATES Trump .
@TheChannel exactly, enforcement of the freedom's granted by a constitution rests on the heads of the people. Eternal vigilance and willingness to punish maliciousness are the price of freedom.
I can't think of a website where it's not like this. Rules are arbitrary and can apply to almost anything. It is always at the discretion of moderators etc. to delete anything they don't like.
As someone who has studied history this statement couldn't be more true. One nation beats up another that was crippled cuz some guy was backstabbed only to have it happen to them. People rarely take a step back and look at it from a logical standpoint. For example, having YouTube Kids but still limiting the adult version. Just use the other platform and don't ruin this one. I mean money wise you're gonna make more if your platform has everything from nursery rhymes to pornography. Just make some stuff require accounts. For larger content creators employ some bozos to review shit to judge it instead of a bot or improve the bots.
I like how nobody is talking about Emp uploading to Storyfire. People complain about YouTube's BS for eternity, but nobody wants to take the first rational steps to overthrowing their monopoly in this space: Promoting a competitor. It's almost like people enjoy being angry about YouTube. Thank you for the alternative upload, Emp.
Cuz YouTube is extremely popular. Its really hard to overthrow..... but really, if super major youtubers would promote a competitor and dont uploaf to YouTube anymore and they stick to it for years, all of them......nothing would happen cuz people would find better or similar youtubers.... oh god, youtube is such a monopoly
almost all of the content creators and viewers are already exclusively on youtube, i would much rather youtube become somewhat competent then switching to a niche competitor with 0.1% of the userbase. besides, while a competitor may appear be more stable with having actually competent content policies, it's much less stable financially because it isn't backed by a massive corporation. even if a competitor gained traction, it's really just trading one problem for another i feel.
@RaZoX honestly not this time. Youtube is bigger than any of those sites and actually pays money to people so they have an extra big reason to stay. Youtube is a monopoly that far outweights the lightweights you mentioned in dominance.
@TVB BLM is more of a broad movement encompassing multiple tendencies and tactics than a single organization bearing that slogan as its name. The "official" org is run by harmless liberals - at this point, barely distinguishable from moderate conservatives - who would unilaterally condemn terrorism and throw more radical left BLM-adjacent orgs under the bus. Simply applying the blanket designation of "terrorist" to all BLM protestors, that's erring on the side of a lot of false positives or watering down the definition of terrorism to the point of uselessness. By a similar metric, every cop is a cold-blooded murderer because some of them have killed civilians during arrests, and lines of police clad in riot gear and backed by tanks are committing acts of terror on behalf of the state to intimidate even the most peaceful, unarmed, and naive anti-racist protestors, people who may find themselves having to throw a punch just to defend themselves as dozens of officers swarm the crowd on all sides for daring to stay out past sunset even if they were just walking home as a group.
This extremely inclusive classification door seems like it should swing both ways, but it doesn't because scary designations like "terrorist" only ever seem to apply to non-state actors. When an officer kills a Black civilian when nonlethal force was an option, secure in the knowledge that his city will in all likelihood refuse to prosecute him via grand jury and his department will defend him at almost every step, is that particular officer not terrorizing the civilians in the community they're supposed to "protect and serve"? Even if you believe there are troublemakers and agent provocateurs using the protests as cover to burn shit down and wreak havoc, the root sentiment that liberal and radical anti-racists unite and rally around is opposition to these occasional instances of unchecked state terrorism
No appeals to law and order are going to distract the (mostly poor and Black) communities subject to the sort of police terror from the reality of the situation: they're at the mercy of roaming gangs of armed men and women acting on behalf of the wealthy ruling class, some of whom can kill and kidnap people with little accountability if you allow them to find an excuse (and they can easily find an excuse) because they enjoy legal protections that criminal gangsters and other (implied to be Black or brown) "thugs" often don't, precisely because they're state actors. Which do you think is more dangerous to a peaceful civilian, all else equal? The gangster whose mugshot shows up on the nightly news and will very likely serve life in prison for murder with zero political pressure from the masses, or the officer whose unprovoked and premeditated killing requires sustained pressure from the masses to even warrant a manslaughter charge?
Returning to the earlier point about false positives, the FBI terrorism watchlist and similar government terrorism lists are a fucking joke. The FBI are themselves basically federal cops, which necessarily makes them potential political enemies of a movement like BLM and motivated to use any tools at their disposal to artificially discredit, criminalize, and demonize that movement.
This is why the FBI would want to cast a wide net to scare white and politically conservative people to turn them against ultimately just causes like the movement for Black lives and other people's movements. Such lists also provide pretext to monitor and surveil even the tamest political groups outside the liberal political mainstream, including completely nonviolent liberals for daring to question the bad behavior of even a few bad apples among the police. This is transparently a divide-and-conquer tactic to turn otherwise potentially sympathetic people who might have a common cause on other issues (especially economic issues!) against anyone using the BLM slogan.
@Discount Chocolate premeditated? You really think cops are just planing to kill minorities on purpose? At most these murders are 2nd degree murder not 1st degree. Second degree constitutes spur of the moment murders.
@cooldude 101011 You have a point. Given the conditions under which US police are conditioned to find it acceptable to "have to" kill certain (usually Black/brown) civilians based on "killology"/sheep-wolves-sheepdogs propaganda (not joking about this, these terms are actually used in a specific common police training program), spur-of-the-moment cases are probably significantly more common than premeditated cases (in which case I would argue it's 2nd degree murder rather than manslaughter). Looks like I may have gotten the legal terminology here incorrect. That said, I stand by everything else I wrote previously, which is based on systemic analyses of the US's criminal justice system, and of the role of police as agents of state violence.
@TVB “waaah! Waaaah! People want rights and a very, very small minority in an unorganized group is doing some crimes! Obviously they’re all terrorists!!!1!!1! Waaaah waaaaaah!!”
I'm right there with you buddy. I've been going through the same thing for the last 3 years. It's fucking crazy. They're so worried about pissing off the money men that they are fucking over the people that make them money. It's so backward.
YT:"Can't say certain phrases in the comments, even if you are trying to persuade people away from those toxic ideologies" Also YT:"Boarderline CP is A-OK" I wouldn't be surprised if this comment is auto-deleted...
Cancerous toy channel vids with disturbing thumbnails aimed at kids YT: 👍 Movie analysis vid meant for adults YT: NUUUUUUUUU THINK ABOUT DA CHILDREN!!! >:0
These are the same guys who didn't bother deleting Logan Paul's YouTube channel after he filmed him and his friends going into a Japanese suicide forest and laughing at a dead man
@Bilb Ono You know the third world doesn't only consist of Africa, right? It also involves places like Southeastern Asia or wherever. They easily get away with abusing animals, copying content, and so forth, despite people exposing their acts. Yet when someone like well, emplemon for example, uploads a video with a meager amount of copyrighted content, he gets utterly obliterated. Like, instantly. Don't look up Susan W's early life, by the way. And to prove that YouTube is simply choosing to let this scum happen, they sure didn't seem too keen to take down Logan Paul's suicide forest video.
@Salmon Ella they finally took down that channel that kills animals? I couldn't believe after I had flagged the channel and didnt anything. That's when I lost all hope for YouTube and Google
YT: "Oh no, we can't monitize an essay on a horror movie."
Also YT: "Monitize people (especially celebrities) donating and promoting terrorist acts like BLM and also talk about the 2015 Paris and 2017 Las Vegas massacres as well as uploads of plane crash and animal abuse compilations."

Youtube doesn't hold animal life and vehicles being destroyed while carrying passengers on the same level as people that you can actually see their faces and people in general.
@Bilb Ono It seems like he's trying to say that Youtube is alright with people torturing animals as long as they are Asian because YouTube doesn't want to be accused of being racist for suppressing Korean culture (As in eating octopuses alive which is an argument that people make to defend videos like that)
Honostly, I love how real and angry your voice gets discussing this topic, its palpable. Also feel bad that your hard work is in the hands of a platform that cares nothing for you.
I uploaded an unlisted 20 second clip of me putting a cassette into my tape deck for my friends on discord. The clip a year later was then hit as 18+, and after the appeal they still kept the 18+ restriction.
YouTube decided that only a boomer could understand what's happening on the video anyway. Analog media? No streaming? What's this, some kind of middle ages technology? :D
Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.
You’re one of the only REAL YouTubes left that I really enjoy watching. All your videos even the poops are amazing I’ll try and buy a shirt or something you’re great EMP keep it up
Hello, User! Hi, this is Youtube checking in with you. We saw that you had some questions as to why your video is being targeted by the site! We figured we might as well be as transparent as possible in telling you why. For one, your video wasn't innocuous, sanitized, childproof, and disposable. So we disposed of it for you! To succeed on our wonderful platform in the future we strongly recommend that you're edgy enough to definitely not be a violation of COPPA, but not edgy enough that a child's mom or a journalist could throw a temper tantrum. We also recommend that you uppload waaaaayyy more than you are now. You ought to be putting out daily videos! You have to outpace the competition! You need to be attractive so we can put your face next to lots of brands! We've decided that in order to help you out, we're going to delete your old catalogue and give you a clean slate to start with. This has been your check-in from YouTube, goodbye and good luck!
The part about coppa is spot on,I had the same thought while watching this. Can't be too kid friendly, but can't be too adult friendly either, or else you get no money 🤦♂️
YouTube should either go all in on the "We just review things based on what we think on a case by case basis" and not even try to appear fair, or go all in on the "We use bots and very specific rules that detail exactly what you can and can't post". The current rules of "we just determine what the rules mean on a case by case basis" doesn't work on any level
@FasterSpinDash Won't say much about that here other than I said it in general terms, not the EmpLemon video specifically.
The closest that Emplemon's video was political was that one passing comment he made about the "virus" (can't say it fully without getting censored) and that might have triggered the algorithm to restrict his video as well.
Honestly, it's gotten to the point where YouTube videos are basically sidewalk chalk drawings; all your hard work being washed away by an unfeeling entity at any time for no reason is just an accepted aspect of the art form.
I'm glad YouTube restored your video but this is disgusting this happened in the first place. You're doing the best by holding through and inspiring the small guys. Thank you for your effort.
You know, it’s things like this that make me realize that if i were to make a site like youtube, but with fixed, more flexable terms and stuff, i could effectively be more popular than youtube by effectively doing what youtube used to do and sticking to it instead of desending down youtube’s route. If anyone that works at youtube sees this, i can effectively be better than you by being you before all this. Oh, and if this gets taken down for whatever reason, then i know i must have struck a nerve there.
I really found “Horror in Isolation” to be informative, thematic, and insightful. There’s a lot one can take away from the video. It’s so frustrating YouTube rejects content like this, without rhyme or reason.
Emp, I know I’m a fan but you deserve better than this. You’re a bloody legend for making your content. I really, really hope you make it out of YouTube’s downward spiral.
Hey Emp, software engineer here. From a developer's business/legal standpoint, it doesn't make sense to add a creator to a whitelist after being manually reviewed, especially if they upload a different video later. From a data analysis standpoint, a re-edited copy of the same video might as well be a completely different video, so if you upload an edited version of a manually reviewed video the algorithm has to re-evaluate it from scratch. I agree that the blacklist is ridiculous, but just wanted to share the technical reason this happened to you.
I've heard that there are third party services which can scan your video, beforehand and give you a percentage chance of it being safe for YT upload. Its the equivalent of submitting an assignment in UNI and getting a free Plagiarism scan, before submitting it and tripping alarm bells.
@Picky Physics Student Sounds like an expensive process if it's automated - processing still images is fairly fast, but processing video to find things that would violate the TOS is much more intense for computers.
I think you misunderstood what he said. Correct me if I'm wrong but what he really seemed to mean was that he was surprised the video he filed the appeal for wasn't added to some whitelist, which would make a whole lot more sense, as that sort of thing could just be metadata stored with each video on YouTube's end.
If the bot flags something that it thinks is infringing in the video, then finds out later on that it's not, then it should keep a note internally that this particular thing is not a problem. The fact that it flags multiple videos by the exact same creator for the exact same thing, even after being told it's not infringing on anything, is pretty silly.
@HeXaGoN no, he said that he took down the original video that was manually reviewed, re-edited it because he was unsatisfied with it, and re-uploaded it. That makes it, from a computer's standpoint, a completely new video. In theory, yes, it's possible to keep a copy of manually reviewed videos in a cache, and use the video recognition algorithm to determine they are the same basic video, but in practice this is impractical, as it's an edge case.
@JJ You can't just trust a user not to upload something against TOS, if they find out they're whitelisted they could take advantage of it and post something against TOS. It sucks, but ask ANYONE in software if they trust their users. It's not safe.
@Muffin Ch. アグリバスタード I'm not necessarily talking about the reupload of the same video. I'm saying that if the algorithm identify a feature it finds in a video to be a problem, but then finds out later on that it's not, it should flag that feature as "ok" so that it doesn't do the same mistake again. It might or might not use that information to better analyse videos by other creators, but the fact that it flags the same problem two times when analysing two videos by the same creator is just egregious. For a company like Google, that makes billions of profit a year, to not implement something so basic is pretty suspicious. To me, it's either one of two things.
1: They are incapable of doing it, either because they lost control of the software and/or all the competent people left the company for greener pasture 2: They are unwilling to implement such a change because they either don't care whatsoever for the creators or they think it's in their best interest to leave them in a state of constant fear and paranoia.
Either way, it does not reflect well on them as a company.
@Sydney Bean I agree. Many people have a very high opinion of Google when it comes to software, but I'm starting to think that reputation is unwarranted.
@JJ The fact that you called that feature "basic" shows that you have no idea what you're talking about. That's very complex, especially in the realm of video analysis. Look up Fuzzy Logic and the math behind it. Computers are not magic. You can't just tell it to do something like that and have it work. Somebody has to define an algorithm that takes a list of concepts, which can be billions of concepts long by the way, and checks that concept in every second of all of the millions of videos on this platform. This is not basic. This is ADVANCED technology that just doesn't exist. Name ONE existing copyright/TOS violation detection algorithm better than YouTube's. You can't. Because at the moment, it's the best we have.
To be clear, I'm not trying to be aggressive or toxic in refuting you so harshly. I simply don't want people spreading misinformation, and harshness gets across very clearly in YouTube comments
@JJ Duwang is spitting straight facts, if an algorithm such as you suggest were so easy to implement, then why has nobody implemented a system like this? Given, the systems in place on youtube aren't really found on any other platform, but therein lies the issue. Youtube is essentially forging a path in the dark, what with the legal/consumer-needs balance when it comes to video hosting. Even if it were so easy to create, you would then have the GARGANTUAN task of looking through the established code/algorithms, and attempting to merge them together. Working with amalgamated code sucks.
The bot is not a data driven match/compare procedure, it is already a featural neural net, something that is indeed trivial and in fact integral to its operation is to have reinforcement systems for preferred or unwanted features to be highlighted by it, that is an aspect of its definition
What really is happening is that the algorithm is so global that his sample doesn't affect the bot that much, or the algorithm is not allowed to use real samples as training data, I find the latter unlikely. Although, the algorithm is likely many branched and cached states of the same system that gets deployed in phases, so his influence on it may not be felt until some later date.
Google has mega servers for a reason. If they're too dumb in the code for the system to automatically realise a video is almost exactly the same as it was before then they've done nothing to improve it. Can't say I'm surprised, though. They managed to dumb down image search.
@Trenos301 We've had neural nets that do this kind of work for years. Google has made this kind of thing an iterated on it for years. If Google, dataminiest company of the miners of data, does not have enough data to train their nets on for this kind of work, with Youtube even being at their disposal, than they are just bad.
@Muffin Ch. アグリバスタード You assume that to create a gargantuan algorithm impossible to comprehend, and that cannot even know internally what itself is doing, is the only way to identify copyright infringement, but it's not. I might have exaggerated when I said it was "basic" to identify features in a video and compare it with other's, but what I meant is that it was "basic" for a company like YouTube to implement something like that. The algorithm they have created can clearly already identify what in the video is infringing, or else it would not work at all. From that point, it's a matter of extracting that information, storing it and applying it in other videos. Since the other video in question is almost a carbon copy of the other, it should be possible to correlate both videos with each other, identify that the only infringing parts of the videos were already previously identified by a human as "not being a problem", and to let the video go live. That is not "magic", that is completely within the realm of possibilities. But that would make sense. To assume that since YouTube implement "fuzzy logic" (which I think is a massive oversimplification of what is actually going on, but whatever), then the system has to be a black box with no way to access to it's internal working in any way, is to me closer to thinking of computers as being "magic" than my own assessment. But I digress.
If the whole system was, as you say, just a giant fuzzy algorithm, with no way whatsoever to reach what was inside, then you might have a point. If it was, however, then it would fall into my first guess as to why the system is as it is: They have lost the ability to comprehend or control the software they created in any way, shape or form and they're just as lost as anyone else as to why it makes these decisions. A scary thought indeed.
On a different note, you argue that since YouTube is one of the only (maybe the only?) company with an algorithm to identify copyright infringement, therefore their system is the best we can do. That is a fallacy. For all we know, YouTube's approach to copyright infringement detection is completely wrongheaded and will be looked back in a few year as a failed experiment. There is such a thing as being fit for purpose. Yes, there are too many videos being uploaded at one time to review all of them by humans (although they could very well review manually videos created by bigger creators, and the fact that they don't is baffling in it's own way). However, just because there is a need for a review system, doesn't mean that their approach is fit for purpose. And fit for purpose it ain't. To have an algorithm make decisions that impact the livelihood of people, without even being able to justify those decisions in the most basic way, or even learn from those decisions when clearly told those decisions are wrong, is in my opinion wrongheaded. The only reason people on YouTube accept it is because they have no choice.
@JJ I am done arguing over this, it's been over 24 hours and I don't really remember the video, so I'll just justify my previous statements by saying that I never meant that the YouTube algorithms are never going to improve. Obviously, they will. It's just going to take a while, because the technology doesn't exist yet. Also, I never meant to imply that fuzzy logic was the only piece of the algorithm. I was merely showing a fraction of the complex math required to do what you described. There is MUCH more to it than that, but fuzzy logic is definitely an integral piece of the puzzle.
@Void of Space and Time You know a mega server is just a bunch of expensive computers in the same room, right? All they do is make the code run faster by splitting different jobs into parts and running them concurrently. Also, since video search is the same as image search, why don't you code it yourself if you're so smart? The algorithm already exists, right? Should be ezpz for someone as smart as you :)
@Muffin Ch. アグリバスタード I'm not sure why you assume that the technology for what I'm describing somehow doesn't exist. A software that can use machine learning to identify features in one piece of media(ex: a video), that have the ability to correlate those same features to another piece of media, is not some alien technology from the far future. Think of an algorithm that can identify if two pictures are of the same person. The similar features can be highlighted and analyzed by a human. Machine learning algorithms does not always equals black boxes.
But fair enough, no need to argue any further. I doubt that continuing the discussion would lead anywhere.
That does not at all explain why this happened to him, this just explains the obvious that a whitelist is not a thing across the board, even for slightly altered reuploads. What he needs the answer to is why they took struck it down in the first place.
Don't feel bad Emp, I was getting it recommended it to me and so were all my friends. Those of us who enjoy your content will watch any video you put out regardless of all the hurdles we may have to go through, they're just so well edited and put together that it's impossible NOT to watch them. Keep going strong Emp
I think this happens to you way more often than to any other youtuber. My guess is that youtube's system tagged your channel as "fishy" (like permanently), so now it takes minimal amount of "negativity" determined by AI to block a video. In other words, it treats you differently. Like you're an ex criminal that just got out of jail.
This is a situation where I literally cannot see anyone siding with YouTube on this one. It's like when Charlie and Phillip DeFranco got that weird thing taken off. This was an even bigger no brainer than restoring Mumkey's channel... oh wait.... GODDAMMIT YOUTUBE!!!!
Luckily caught this one before any take downs. Thank you for continuing to give us excellent content, despite what YouTube wants you to do. I appreciate that you reuploaded the video too, even on another site, I'd happily watch your content wherever because it is just so good.
There are many things that i stand against YouTube for, but this one i'm actually in favor. Today's world is bad enough as it already is, people need wholesome content, not more horror and anxiety. It does not matter if it is a documentary, if it is a showcase, if it is a "behind the scenes" footage, et cetera; Every detail helps to make or break happiness, specially in today's day and age, and i am no blind and sleepy fool when it comes to that.
Sometimes, even if you have the best of intentions, you must have everything in mind, so it does not spread more chaos to the world.
@Zawmbbeh the faster you come to terms with your mortality, the better. People shouldn't be shielding themselves from that content because they 'can't handle it.' We all have a due date, and the denial will eventually come crashing in on you.
@Jacob P. just because someone doesn't enjoy witnessing acts of graphic violence doesn't mean they "haven't come to terms with their mortality." you think watching a graphic video means you're enlightened or something? you remind me all those nihilists who believe they're enlightened because they deny themselves any feeling of purpose or meaning in favor of a cold, unfeeling "factual" view of reality
@shawcrow meh were creatures that used to be surrounded by death who aren't anymore and pepper get weird about something that was so core to the human experience up until a few generations ago it's just odd
Well when machines are enforcing the rules you aren't going to have a super consistent experience with it enforcing grey areas of societies "rules" YouTube doesn't appear to make enough money to hire enough humans to review stuff
YouTube: “Broadcast Yourself! (As long as it’s within our rats-nest of a guideline system...or maybe we’ll take it down for no reason and not tell you why”
God I hate this site and how those in charge don’t even care about 95% of its users...
Love your content Emp! Watching you and your talent evolve over the years has been so interesting! I laughed my ass off at your YTP’s back in the day and I love your in depth and informative analyses of a wide range of topics! I got a chance to watch your breakdown of the thing before it was taken down and you honestly gave me the push to buy the movie here on YouTube! It’s awesome that you aren’t letting YouTube discourage your ability to keep coming up with great videos!! Looking forward to the next one!!
This is why censorship doesn't work...it doesn't suppress discussion. Just makes grown men talk like children to avoid angering an oblivious Big Brother.
some youtubers should really come together and decide on a universal list of code words to bypass it, it would make me happy to see the ghouls who decide this shit get completely circumvented
@StoneTheMason so if you start a forum for discussions on car repair, it’s completely fine if people come there and start talking about “slaughtering the inferior people” or something?
@Greedy Gamer well then it'd be pretty cut and dry then wouldn't it, lol. Listen, perhaps the reason I didn't articulate on my statement is because it's pretty damn controversial to begin with. But I don't see any reason to shield everyone's eyes from what's going on with people in the long run. Even if that means exposing younger kids. Kids in other countries see far worse than american kids on a day to day basis :)
@Greedy Gamer >censorship can work let me guess, you live in a first world country? Probably america? And... your somewhere around upper middle class to upper class? right? Am I wrong?
@Greedy Gamer The topic isnt "Private companies and owners cant enforce rules" the topic is "is it ethical to censor and silence people?" and the answer is no, it is not. Censorship has been used universally as a way to control the populace under a thinly veiled mask of ethics and morality. If you create a forum about cars and car repair, one of the first rules you would make would be "stay on topic", no? You own the forum after all, and you made it with the purpose of talking about cars and such. Its not exactly censorship as someone stating, say, political opinions shouldnt really be doing so on a forum about car repair. You dont go to a Christian church to preach about Islam and you dont go a Mcdonalds to order a Whopper. Because all of what I mentioned are owned by private companies/people, and made for a specific purpose. Regardless, you have the right to do so because you own the website. Yes, that does mean youtube, as a private company, has the right to censor people with wrong think. But the problem isnt "Youtube shouldnt be allowed to censor people" the problem is "It isnt ethical to censor people with "wrong" opinions, especially on a platform so large and wildly used".
tl;dr the discussion is about the morality of censorship and not private company's rights to enforce their own rules. Private businesses have a right to do what they wish with their own property, but it doesnt make it any less unethical and wrong to censor someone on a platform advertised as platform to share ideas and opinions.
@Greedy Gamer You aren’t really stupid enough to try comparing YouTube, an incredibly broad platform that has videos covering a plethora of completely different subjects, to a car repair forum, which is a very specific niche, are you? Someone leaving comments about slaughtering others has no place on a car forum because what does that have to do with cars? The comparison you’re trying to make only makes sense on an individual channel level, where a creator wants to keep their channel away from certain topics, and that’s what features like the ability to review comments are for. That’s not something YouTube as a whole should have any business in, with very, VERY limited exception. The most I’d say is permissible to censor on a platform-level would be comments that clearly violate U.S. federal law, such as sharing a link to where someone could download CP, and spam from bots. Anything else should be left up to the discretion of whoever runs their channel.
@Gabbo hold on, YouTube IS a private company, that is the topic. YouTube isn’t silencing people to control the masses, it’s enforcing its TOS and Community Guidelines. It isn’t silencing people for having “wrong opinions”, it’s keeping people from deviating from community guidelines and posting gore videos. Is it inconsistent? Yes. Is it ineffective? Yes. Is this expected of the largest video sharing site on the world? Absolutely.
@Lord Omega there are other places where you can happily do that. 4chan, Reddit, Pornhub, places where this is accepted. If you really hate that you can’t get that stuff on YouTube, why are you still here?
you say that as if suppressing discussion is somehow a positive thing and not blatant authoritarianism in complete opposition to the foundational ideals of all advanced western nations.
@Greedy Gamer "so if you start a forum for discussions on car repair, it’s completely fine if people come there and start talking about “slaughtering the inferior people” or something?"
Unironically, yes. Let people like that incriminate themselves. Light is the best disinfectant. What constitutes legal public speech is the purview of law and civics, not of private corporations who've now expropriated nearly all social and political discourse.
@Greedy Gamer What shady corner of the internet? Giant corporate platforms like youtube, facebook, twitter and reddit aren't small, unknown corners of the internet; and Prism is a thing, remember? I say that, for the most part, content and speech regulation should be more or less left up to agencies actually legally qualified to determine hat is and is not legal expression. Websites should be able to moderate based on relevancy; but on giant platforms like the ones we're talking about here, nearly everything is relevant.
Porn should be only allowed on websites that explicitly allow it; and gore shouldn't be allowed anywhere, for the most part (fake gore from movies, and videos or images used for informative or educational purposes being the exception); But political speech, even heinous political speech, should never be censored (again, unless it isn't relevant, which isn't the case on large websites like these being discussed). Incitement and directed threats are obviously not okay, but they're also already illegal. Platforms should not enforce speech laws, but should rather defer to legitimate legal authorities to handle such actions.
Said legal authorities may need to be expanded somewhat to handle the extra capacity, but let's not kid ourselves here, they'd just be making official what they've already been doing anyway without telling us. They already have most of that infrastructure in place.
In short, ISPs as well as large platforms act more as infrastructure than as private organizations. Them being able to arbitrarily censor legal speech, business, or other activity is a detriment to public interests. They should be banned from doing it in the same way that businesses are banned from discriminating on the basis of race, sexuality, religion, ideology, political affiliation, or etc.
And when someone breaks laws or norms on the premises of a private business irl, these businesses typically do not have private security forces to enforce their own version of the law. They call actual authorities employed by our representational and somewhat accountable government to handle the situation. I see no reason that online businesses, especially platforms, should be any different.
@Greedy Gamer you understand that YouTube was created as a means to "broadcast yourself". It wasn't designed with any purpose in mind other than that, and it was successful for ten years under that model.
@Sebastian Hahn I see what you’re trying to say, but the sheer amount of things on YouTube alone that would then require legal action is staggering. Everything needs to be reported to the authorities, who then need to track down who the user is, arrest them for questioning, leading to a possible trial which would be both lengthy and costly.
It’s easier to just ban them for breaking community guidelines (which exist for a very good reason).
@thinly veiled alien youtubers need to consult the ancient ones, the internet racists. They've become exceedingly efficient at circumventing censorship using every day words and letters.
tbh they do it mainly because of advertisers, so it would be more logical to blame them instead of the platforms, but yeah, YT has gone full retard more times than I can remember
@Greedy Gamer the problem with saying "so you want nazis?" is that youtube already has nazis, and they're just fine with speaking in code because actual racism is harder to stop than naughty words
@JazuX exactly, they were the first people that had to learn how to get past censorship. i hate to say "we could learn something from nazis," but it's like fighting unarmed otherwise
banning words does not stop racism. it passes the buck to other people so that you don't have to make any difficult decisions. but you still will, eventually. and you'll be like "but we banned blackface, how could this have happened"
@thinly veiled alien oh I’m aware, Nazis, fascists, white nationalists, they’re all here. When they’re even in the White House then I’d say it’s natural to find them on YouTube.
So glad they reversed their actions! That video was genuinely the best video from you I've ever watched, and also one of the best videos I've ever viewed on this platform. Keep up the great work Emp!
Hey man, I just wanna say that I love your videos. your are genuinely my favorite youtuber. From what I have learned, youtube sucks when it comes to the relationships with the creators on the platform. Sorry this shit keeps happening to you. Maybe one day, youtube will either change their bullcrap policy or another platform like youtube will rise to the top with less strict reasons for taking down videos. Good luck with your channel, and I wish you the best Emp.
Looked at The Thing on youtube once it was reinstated, and every video was age restricted, even the reviews. John Carpenter made a movie so terrifying, that yt is afraid on all fronts to show it.
Hey, remember in 2013 where everyone used to monetize edgy videos that we made for adults around our age without getting screwed over until 2017?
Man, if only we can go back to those days where we were able to monetize adult content for our adult audience without having Youtube demonetize us for stuff like that.
When you showed AIDS being one of the words that could result in an auto take down YouTube had a pop up show up that said “This information may not be supported” and I had to press Ok to get it to go away. I’ve literally never seen that before.
EmpLemon don't be discouraged, your Thing video was one of the best analysis of this film there is. Thank you for making that and for all of your work.
What you have to remember is that the video was reviewed by a human, so what one person might seem as needing to be age restricted, another could see fine
Isiolation is not only about the quarantine it's about mental probel like game end which is words and topic that for some reason....YT is really allergic about it.
Is quarantine really a bad word? I mean kids probably hear it every single day at school or hear their parents talk about it. It's kind of stupid to overprotect kids to this extent.
@Stewtrooper doesn't seem like, just tell the creator what is wrong with the video. Unless they're trying to suppress certain topics, than they don't know what they're doing, otherwise they're doing a great job
@Ivan Mixo it's not so much that it's a bad word but YT (and just about all of the other big social media platformers) have this obsession with "verified information only" as if they know the truths about any given situation or event. My theory is that certain channels that have maybe a critical or skeptical perspective, maybe not even related to Covid, but, say for example, EmpLemon's video about the red headed guy that "discovered the wormhole in YT that leads to software CP" is kind of an edgy subject, therefore YT removes the benefit of the doubt typically afforded content creators & throws their content on the chopping block based solely on hot button words, like "Isolation". In other words, they don't look at the videos as a whole or check context, or even friggin subject matter at all, the bot catches a word, removes the video & chop. They don't have to worry about it. Videos that don't violate TOS slip through the cracks & get deleted, but they don't care because the broader net takes down anything approaching the subjects they want creators to avoid. It's complicated. Hopefully this makes sense.
There isn't much further which it can spiral downwards. They're just rotating about at the centre of the Earth, at this point. YT has such a massive massive monopoly on video streaming sights that they can just do whatever, knowing that creators have nowhere else to go.
@Picky Physics Student why is it that no one tried to copy youtube? Why are there thousands of different pornsites and pirate streaming sites but no regular youtube clones?
I remember watching the video as soon as it popped i to my inbox and loving it. Nothing seemed off about it, the amount of the movie shown wasnt excessive, and i had a great time. Around 3 hours later when i went to show it to a friend, it showed up as removed by youtube. The idea that it was removed for being graphic is still bewildering considering how much content on youtube i can find depicting the same imagery. The downward spiral never ends.
About a month ago, I got recommended a video by YouTube called “Deer vs Plane” in which a deer pretty much gets crushed and eviscerated instantly, even though that is something I wish I had never seen as it is a videoed death. The Thing is a movie I adore and I find myself searching for analysis videos about it a few times a year. It’s something I want to see and I do not find issue with it’s gore because it is not real. YouTube, you fucking suck.
The true horror here is that apparently emp can upload two videos about the thing without me being notified about either of them. Truly this is a cold, dark, loveless world.
I'm glad you aren't gonna change anything for Youtube. I love your content and the video on Stanislav Petrov is my absolute favorite from you. Can't imagine what it'd be like and how much worse it'd be if you had been scared of getting in trouble with Youtube
I remember pausing the video to go for a walk and seeing that I couldn't watch it on my pc and that the video was removed. Still got to watch it. Thanks YouTube.
Damn, that was a great video too. Glad I got a chance to watch it. Good luck bro, and hopefully it goes back up. And to answer your question, no, your not allowed to talk about certain things unless you are on an approved list. I remember people getting hit for reporting on a mass shooting a few years ago, and Jimmy "please laugh" Kimmel was doing a bit about it, and that wasn't a problem.
Remember the good old days when you could easily find and watch whacky conspiracy theories and pretty much whatever else you wanted to see? Now everything is controlled and censored 😭
Thank god I watched the video as soon as it went up. It was pretty good, and I'm glad you made a video on such a masterpiece film of its time. If I may be so daring, I would say the possible reason Youtube took the video down was because of the scene where MacReady checks on Blair in the tool shed, where there's a noose dangling in the shot. It wouldn't be very farfetched to say that Youtube's algorithm assumed that the noose was going to be used , instead of just being a prop put there to compliment the scene.
i absolutely loved the video, really great analysis shame that youtube hates you i wonder if you uploaded the video to an entirely different channel if it would create the same response
I'm getting genuinely sick and tired of Susan Wojak's incompetence and the overall horse crap Google insists on encouraging. Thanks for the heads up, Emp, and good luck with your next upload!
Your analysis of The Thing was one of the best I've seen and it's a shame YouTube is such a huge fucking mess. Just know your hard work is appreciated and I will be showing your vid to my friends.
@RubbaTiti I legitimately want that game to die. It got stale in 2015 after it was run into the ground for over a year straight. I was fine with it at first, maybe I even liked it, but I genuinely can't stand it anymore.
@Amphibians RiseUp Probably because there exists a multiple maturity levels that are in between "heavily mature" and "fucking preschoolers"...AKA teenagers...
@Alienrun Your acting like you’ve never seen or been around a teenager. Most teens want to be “older” A.K.A, cooler, so of course they might wanna watch more R rated films or M rated games. Every teenager I have met in Middle School or High School can handle that kind of stuff. Your forgetting how tolerant teens are to these kinds of things. Obviously they’re not “mature” but they’re not sensitive to movies, tv shows, or games with adult themes
@Amphibians RiseUp Some teens are like that, not all of them tho. Like you have a lot of teens that are immature but try to get into mature media to seem more "cool" or whatever, thus being "edgy".
Of course, now that I think about it you could argue that teens who don't want to come off as "older" and stick to media for kids/teens are less mature due to not wanting to grow up.
As for their tolerance towards mature stuff, it depends. Like yeah they are more tolerant than a kid but I'm sure its not to the extent of an adult.
I guess my view on it is that while a teen is way more independant than a kid, that doesn't mean they are an adult yet. They shouldn't get into edgy stuff just cause, it should be done with a sense of purpose and genuine interest in understanding the realities of an adult world that they've yet to be responsible for. Like yeah a parent should loosen up on what their kids watch when they are a teen, but they shouldn't all of a sudden switch to "Yolo watch whatever you want! Who cares!"
TL;DR You are technically right on all of this, but I think the context and nuance of the situation take priority over "teens are adults but younger" when its really the other way around...
...that I feel is what tends to get lost whenever the subject of raising kids gets discussed/questioned.
@Amphibians RiseUp You are right. Also why does everybody always assume somebody is going to get pissy whenever another person expresses an opinion? I do not get that either.
Emp you are one of my favorite entertainers. Please don't put yourself in a position where YouTube is your only outlet. This place is getting more and more capricious and censorious by the week.
Emp, you should do new/revised/updated version of ‘Youtube has been on a Downward Spiral”. The debate on section 230 has been fascinating and it’s be cool to hear your take on it
I spent all day yesterday on YouTube. Watched newrly every video in my subscription feed but it wasn't until TODAY that your The Thing analysis came up in my feed. DESPITE having all notifications on for this channel and generally watching your great content the moment it comes out.
If you haven't you should look into other platforms to upload your videos to. That way if the worst does happen and Youtube removes your content there's still somewhere we can find them. It will also strengthen Youtube's competition and if enough people do that, then maybe we can force Youtube to change.
@WarmPotato Having that is gonna be great actually. The people on youtube as in the youtubers are afraid of change. The people managing youtube think they can just fuck up always and never have anything bad happen, why, because they have a monopoly, practically, over video sharing. They'll accidentally make youtube unsurvivable for not only small , but also medium ish, 500-750k subs content creators, which'll turn youtube into another T.V situation, till there's another site or invention that's the 'next youtube'. and that process will and has happened always. People bored of constant stream of same old content, weird folk make a niche, nerdy people get inspired and improve the niche thing by themselves, it gets popular, they want quick cash and fail to maintain customer care over time, they fuck up, only some content remains due to a plethora of reasons, people get bored of same old content etc.
Emplemon: Does 12+ videos where he in part or in full warns viewers and friends about uploading content like this. Or at least laments that YouTube is so sensitive about it.
Also Emplemon: What, how could this happen? No one could have seen this coming!
There needs to be a consolidated effort to support some sort of union, or to have a mass of creators leave the site, pulling audiences with them. The problem now is there is no competition.
at least with the thing vid he put 2 links. one to the age restricted version and another to a different website where he put the same video as a get around
I just can’t stand how they NEVER communicate any reasons. Like wouldn’t you want to SHOW the creator what they did wrong so that they know not to make the same mistake in the future?
Probably because YouTube is very vague about their rules on purpose, so it doesn’t seem like they’re contradicting themselves with how they enforce rules. I’m sure laziness also plays into it somewhere.
I mean, if Hartvigen can lose his channel with absolutely no warning and no human intervention until they get dozens of mentions on Twitter, then sadly anything is possible...
I know that it doesn't help your situation right now, but I really enjoyed your "The Thing" video. I thought it was really well thought out and well written.
@a regular person ow that sucks. you should be able to be proud of who you are. do you have friends who share your political views? i imagine that'd make it easier to commit to it. as for myself i'm not even sure what side of politics i prefer yet. i'm definitely very nihilistic, (which is equal to saying i'm too lazy and dumb to learn about politics and figure out which side to pick) and a lot of times i feel like i lean towards anarchy more than authority. dems are centrists btw, and what you said about either side being the same is exactly what Horseshoe Centrism is.. just saying. at least that's what i picked up from Jreg's videos. i only started caring about politics because of memes and Jreg's sarcasm. i live on sarcasm, but it's a vegetative state. i should quit..
@aAáÁAA i do have friends who share the same views, it's just really hard to introduce yourself as a dem to new people without immediately being looked at like a psychopath, so i usually refrain from stating my stances. Also, i genuinely never knew about the horseshoe theory before, so that just goes to show how new i am to all this.
@Are You Aware That You Are Reading This Comment? I guess I was reading it literally. There have been more strains of Covid. Covid-19 got out in 2020. Covid-15 did not. Snopes would say Biden is right based on that. It's very disingenuous.
Ironic that we get punished if we mentioned anything related to Tragedies or politics, but politicians, and celebrities can shove their BS down our throats and YouTube let’s them off the hook.
I love hearing about YouTuber's complaining about youtube. gives me a Washington monument. moaning like the platform is some sort of democracy, when in reality its a dictatorship. keep it up bro.
It is so frustrating seeing creators I like, like yourself, shackled by this ancient dinosaur of a platform stumbling around destroying everything it touches like a Godzilla on a three day bender. But also major props to you for not backing down and drawing your line in the sand. It really makes me respect you as a creator more than I already did. Cheers Emp and Happy Halloween. I also hope you can continue preaching the word of shaved balls to the masses as well :V
I agree with the theory about "sensitive subject matter." You uploaded a topical video during a time when big tech is going to greater lengths than ever to censor anything that doesn't match their narrative. We can all hope that, after a certain date, this ridiculous censorship will either willingly end or be forced to stand down. But who knows at this point?
As the saying goes, "True tyranny is when the rules are entirely unclear and the punishments, for breaking said rules, are dire". Anyone in any situation like this should just leave ASAP, if able.
In five years there will be no good content left on YouTube, just kids videos and whatever the next mindless trend it. Get ready for your favorite YouTuber to be banned for TOS violations. Then get ready for what happens in 10 years - they've been scrubbed from the masses' memories.
I did a video recently that used footage from the thing, and while looking around for different clips I noticed some of them are consistently age restricted I.E: the defib scene
I am just now seeing this. Sorry Emp, this kind of stuff has got to be frustrating. I'm gonna do what I can to support you on Patreon, though I apologize in advance if it's not a lot.
"Laws/Rules Of Convenience". A favorite tool of small-scale governments and capitalist arbiters everywhere against anyone who might seek to probe the edges of the rules for any reason they don't approve of. The "mad" is largely performative, in a case like YouTube's; they're usually only too glad to re-assert their control by arbitrarily lashing out at an "offender" now and then. It keeps others wondering and worrying.
As time moves on people will have to watch what they say down to a t, and everything on the platform will feel like it's gone through the liberal glazing machine or wrapped in plastic.
It'll just be the "you can only do what simon says until simon changes his mind at a moments notice." youll never really know where you are with them and thats how they want it.
Guys the video is not “safe enough” for us, if we watch it our devices will literally burst into flames... Thanks Susan you’ve saved so many lives from these dangerous videos...
Tbh that vid was one your best! Im sorry The Thing got your vid, but i hope you continue to make good vids like it, cuz your channel is legit one of the best on here that keeps me on here.
What really activates my almonds is that Emp's "The Thing" video wasn't even controversial or talked about anything that could even be CONSIDERED as such. It was akin to when videogamedunkey covered The Shining; just somebody passionate and interested about a classic film. Such utter nonsense.
My best guess for the takedown was Emp making the (possibly accidental) implication through his editing that Trump was comparable to Macready, using Trump's "fire and fury" comment right after saying men like Macready have "no choice but to pick the least terrible option". The "fire and fury" Trump clip is followed by a shot of Macready shooting literal flames at the Thing, and later a brief mention of the Cold War doctrine of mutually assured destruction accompanied with a shot of Macready blowing up the Antarctic facility, killing himself and the monster. A YT reviewer might see this and make the (likely wrong) assumption that Emp endorses Trump's stated willingness to exchange nukes with the DPRK, despite the brief mention of Emp's other video discussing that time a nuclear exchange was narrowly avoided.
I watched the original video as soon as I got the notification [The first upload]. I came back later to rewatch it and was going to comment on the video about how well it was made but noticed the comments weren't working [probably because you unlisted it] so I reloaded the tab only to get a grey "Age-Restriction" cover on the video I watched literally 1 hour ago. I've watched almost all your videos multiple times because I love how you edit videos and go in-depth with so much information. Honestly, why does YT do the things it does when it's meant to be a public forum. Keep up the great work Emp.
Lol, for real. It's difficult to know what even violates some guidelines. I've consistently been kicked out of youtubes partner program, despite my content being transformative in nature.
It's not a fair usage issue, rather YouTube just decided "haha nope, we don't like you."
And of course, their support team says you're not allowed to use other content at all. So, does that include music and green screen effects too? They completely contradict what their FAQ page says. It's all so frustrating that it really makes me want to leave to another platform...
this is the only time I've been disappointed :c Only because I was super excited to see another video so quickly, but it's more of YT being YT. Hopefully they give you something to work with though. Their system is broken. It shouldn't be this tedious to find out what you did wrong.
I don't normally watch movie reviews or analysis videos. But you sir, gave a pretty good look at the Thing and I learned a lot from it. I'm glad I watched it when I could and am disappointed in YouTube. Don't let them ruin your analyzing spirit, you have a solid one!
I was SUPER lucky. I got the video in a new tab like 20 minutes after it uploaded, but when I got round to watching it, I had forgotten it was in another tab and tried to click on it from my reccommended. It told me the video had been taken down for breaking guidelines, then I found it in the other tab and could still watch it. The relief I felt in being able to watch that video pre any form of censorship YouTube might unleash was unparamount. It felt like I had jumped on something special in a tiny window. I rarely get opportunities like this, I always hear about them after the fact
Honestly I have been here since day one and I would jump ship at a moments notice, this is what the phrase "tendency towards monopolisation" means. Why create a better product when you're the only show in town.
I wondered what happened as I was watching it YouTube said it was some error and I kept retrying it and when I clicked off of it the video mysteriously disappeared. Thanks for clearing it up
To me it makes perfect sense. Youtube is a company that wants to make cash. So to maximize profits, they prioritize fixes that will appease their sponsors (mainly mainstream media companies). In their own eyes, their system is not broken, since its current state is not losing them any profit, and fixing it is an investment that does not bring them any new profits, so it would be a net loss. I presume the reason the rules are as vague as they are is specifically so they have the ability to do what their sponsors tell them without impedance (or lawsuits, probably). TL;DR: fixing their system would likely be a net loss, so they are not going to do it.
you can't talk about mature subjects, and at the same time anything that's to "child friendly" will be drained of ad revenue. This site really is a dumpsterfire and nobody is currently able to compete with it meaning they can continue to do this stuff
Your video captivated my entire family last night and got us super interested in the movie. I had never seen such amazing makeup before, and your historical analysis was fascinating, too! And now YouTube gives it the axe but keeps up reaction videos? W h y ? This is indeed horrifying.
This movie air for years even on YouTube at one point . Like how in the hell can you miss it . Even the freaking AVGN that EMPLEMON fab to at night Constantly kiss this movie ass .
@GOD KEK LIVES HERE I had just never seen it before, all I knew was that it had a mimic monster that looked cool. It was neat to finally learn more about it!
@Christian Flaherty: Sequel Edition well did you know that is a 2011 or so remake to . Not making it up. There was a video game in 2004 or so . And there is a comic book series who is just as creative as the remake who something tells me be it's not a remake . Your are welcome . Go check them out if you dear . And the original movie was also the 50s adaption who started it all . But no body want's to check this classic out .
@Christian Flaherty: Sequel Edition also EMPLEMON should have read the guidelines Because YouTube is planning to remove all the EDGY stuff out his website . Also I don't care if his video don't gets money big whoop . A kid got killed by a freaking black lives matter criminal and to top it all off EMPLEMON did band the knee for sussan multiple times and you want me to feel bad for him over a video grow up or should the F up . First he promotes cencorship but when the hammer fall's on him it's the system who is wrong .
@Christian Flaherty: Sequel Edition also I don't planning to post on YouTube anyway . I gonna put my videos on private and the system can suck it . Not like it will do jack if sussan and Google still push the buttons and make the backwards rules . You have a creepy channel remove . You have a channel who is talking about horror remove . We don't want our little soy baby's to start crying over some paranormal videos regardless if fake or not .
I watched the video stop loading the moment it was stripped. I’ve never been in person for a live take down before. At least it said it was removed for terms of service violations instead of simply fuzzy and unavailable. If only which terms were stated as violated.
And when one starts to get traction people will call it an alt right site and try to deplatform it multiple ways. These tech companies are basically cartels.
Emp...your a baddass. Ive got the bell on and ill watch what you put out. Also, the Thing vid was rlly interesting. Your content actually makes me think. Which is awesome. Keep up the work.
I saw the video and really enjoyed it, it's a shame that YouTube is so shockingly assenine about nothing at all. It seems that their end goal here is to make YouTube and YouTube for kids one and the same. Whenever a company like youtube gets big, this happens. How sad.
I absolutely fucking love that minecraft beastiality porn is allowed on this website but a critical analysis of an 80s horror film is too extreme for the platform.
At times like this Youtube's algorithms really do feel like their actions are just dictated by a random number generator. I cannot come up with any other explanation for how they can be this inconsistent.
We have an in Space D&D, or D&D in general. We have a good deal of roles made with advantage, and a few with disadvantage. There is a highly disproportionate amount of times that the roles are a nat 1 and a nat 20. Consistently inconsistent. To quote Thanos, "Balanced as all things must [was it "should" instead?] be."
Except I guess in this case, it's more like double nat 1s, which has also happened a number of times.
631 thousand subscribers... you should open a website to backup your content and maybe you can just cut out the "middle man" at some point. Don't let youtube own you. Keep up the good work!
The same thing happened to me aswell Emp. YouTube is REALLY cranking down on their "violence" policy. And they said so in emails that it would start September 22th of this year. However since i'm the little guy I can't appeal anything. "We’re expanding our age-restriction efforts as part of our ongoing commitment to keeping YouTube creators and viewers safe.
We’ll be expanding the use of automated systems, along with our team of expert reviewers, to apply age-restrictions to videos that aren’t appropriate for all ages." In plain english they're using another scan bot that'll take down any "violence" they see in videos. Remember the huge beef with the ice age, spongebob, and disney mascots beating another russian driver? Affecting markiplier and critical? That was only the beginning. This bot is more unstable than the ones previous. I'm scared for life.
hmmm I wonder if them implementing this a month ago during the "peaceful" protests that have been happening in the US for months ongoing has anything to do with that.
The social media giants have been doing REAL stupid shit lately (censoring even MSM and the government) that's even been pissing off people in the government that have the power to force these companies to knock it off. Make it known to your representatives that this is an important issue to you while the iron is hot and can get this issue solved.
This video was at the very top of my home page Emp. With all of the sensitive topics you mentioned in the video, I'm not sure what this means. Maybe it's just random chance what gets recommended and what doesn't.
I'm glad this is fixed for you. Nowadays youtube only fix anything if you're having some kind of large following or someone big got your back to call out youtube, most small youtube channel get shit so hard and their issue never get same light. Also talking about ANYTHING negative on site is no go at all, youtube love spreading false positivity on this site.
I think so as well. As far as I know, he has done some of the deepest dives into their algorithms and brought hidden patterns and motives to public light
I'm gonna assume part of the ideology talk got the video erased, then the human review went "ok there's nothing wrong with this but the gore is a little bit extreme, better age restrict just to be safe." If only you had the ability to talk to the reviewer, it would be possible to make your case and at least have a fair shake, possibly. Well you're big enough that you can raise a ruckus on twitter and maybe get youtube PR to notice, right? That's usually how big channel deal with these things, short of having direct youtube contacts.
1:29 Barely alive!? News flash! To watch age restricted content, now you need to send a picture of your id/drivers loicense!!! So unless you wanna feel the thrill of exibitionism and expose yourself in a data breach(those happen way more often than you can imagine), those vids might as well not even exist!
Considering the audience I dont think the use of codewords or euphemisms will harm the understanding of whatever narrative your video is trying to convey although it is a pain to have to go through this for stupid reasons. Still looking up for the next vid whatever it may be about.
Mr. Lemon, I think it's about time you get yourself some server space, an html tutorial, and a nice little domain and start up your own website. I'll watch your pube razor ads no matter where ya post them.
Bit off topic, but how cool would it he if Emp got a netflix show? Like he could talk about whatever he wanted and would have a team of professional editors? That would be so dope.
Says everything wrong with YouTube when it comes to sensitive topics and takedowns. No explanation, illogical, G-Rated or bust, just close your eyes and it never happened :)
The corridor crew just uploaded a VFX review video with the exact same scenes that you have in your video about The Thing, but their video is not age-restricted.
Here's the thing - techno-crats will always keep the rules vague, because tyrants always enjoy arbitrary uses of power. It also gives them a cover story to behave inconsistently without scrutiny, shutting down people they ideologically oppose.
Such egregious actions unluckily wrought upon you like a krill descending upon unsuspecting skykids, Emp. This current Youtube administration (as well as future ones) must be held accountable for what they have done to this site we call home, for all these years, political biases aside.
You're not allowed to talk about mature things on YouTube. Unless it's with a hard-right or a hard-left bent. For some reason political videos are perfectly okay.
Start a movement for actual youtubers to jump ship to another site, anything but youtube, something like that happening with enough people should force YT to do something good, or worse even, giving everyone else a reason to leave too.
That sucks. I literally remember getting the notification that u made a new video and thinking “oh that’s nice. I’ll watch it in about an hour when I finish work” and then it got taken down lol.
I actually got a warning saying it is sensitive content right before watching it. The only other time so got that was that parody video about bob ross but for feminism and drawing with period color or something like that. YouTube works in mysterious ways.
I've been noticing violent games have been suddenly getting age restricted. When you try to appeal it you get rejected with no real reasoning why. It's been odd as heck since months ago youtube said those games were fine as long as you follow the rules of monetization which they were.
We are all being squeezed out. Susan wants this site to be Streaming Service like hulu but with them in complete control of what you can even PUBLISH. almost like a PUBLISHER and not a PLATFORM.
5:19 Ah yes, that one event that happened between 1939 and 1945, truly the weirdest event in global history, on minute everyone is awake minding their business and then the next thing you know almost one-quarter of the world ends up getting occupied by mysterious unknown Nations with undescribable ideologies and a lot of people go to sleep never to wake up again.
I strongly suspect that the reason nobody ever gets a reason for their video getting taken down is that YouTube literally doesn't know. The bots that control automatic takedowns are, imo, most likely high complexity ML systems with many input nodes and many hidden layers. No human being is capable of understanding the exact inner workings and "motivations" of a system like that once it's been trained and starts producing results. It's basically analogous to an incomprehensibly large, automated, higher-dimensional, nonlinear system of equations that outputs the probability that you've broken TOS, given the data the network was trained on. The system is incapable of explaining itself, all it knows how to do is "solve" that big-ass system of equations to decide whether or not to demonetize/community guidelines strike/recommend your video.
The current state of AI isn't advanced enough to capture much nuance in its decisions. At no point does "the algorithm" develop any kind of understanding of the data it processes, it just shuts up and performs the statistical analysis it was told to do.
Emp :( I loved that video! It inspired me to revisit The Thing. I watched it last night. Your videos are always so good I wish they weren’t always under attack. :(
After seeing your manscaped ad on the thing video, and seeing the manscaped pitch while binging episodes of shark tank, I was kinda tempted to get one, then after hearing this fiasco on YouTube might jeopardize your sponsorship agreement, I decided to take the plunge and buy a set with your offer code as a way of assisting you. I guess advertising really works.....
Emp, i’m like 90% sure it’s was the ONE picture of Nazi Germany. Youtube absolutely HATES any references to swastika, hitler, etc. It doesn’t matter the context they’re in.
I wonder if people will realize more and more that the stuff that Youtube offers is starting to no longer be worth it. Uploading space, an algorithm, and a large user base might be starting to be less and less appealing.
Sure you’ll get more views for a video, but look at this video! YouTube just censored something that contains history (aids epidemic). It’s like the whole “the Holocaust never happened” meme but actually real.
But whatever, I’ve never uploaded a damn video in my entire life that got views; I’m just a viewer that doesn’t think for themselves and watches trash. Whatever. But I’m not.
Oh, I see, want to know something? You see, I had visited the video and added it to my "watch later" queue. So when I actually watched the video it was marked as "unlisted", which was rather confusing. I sorta assumed that you made a video that you wanted to only be available for a limited time or something, like some sort of Halloween special or something. Now I know what actually happened at least.
(Also, you must lay your trust in YouTube to be nice or to care in the first place? Yea, good luck with that, that's harder than getting a politician not to lie, or to fly to the moon with only a cookie jar.)
Creators want transparency. It's that simple. Just tell people wtf they can or can't do. People are getting tired and someone is bound to snap...
Also create a decent fucking platform for mature content. Why the fuck can TV have a mainstream show with full frontal nudity and fictional gore but youtube creators can't even mention the word A*DS without getting demonetized.
had a dream where you made a video called "there will Never Ever be another film like Freddy Got Fingered" and now I'm gutted that that wasn't a real video.
Peoples income in many cases is totally reliant on they're YouTube income and taking that away without warning, randomly, is disgusting. I hope somehow finally comes up with a decent alternative to YouTube.
The only thing I see here is bullshit and that is more scary than any monster. sorry this happened emp. I watched the whole thing on the bus coming home and loved it. No matter what youtube pulls or where your videos go I still watch and enjoy them. 😊👍
This sucks. I had an experience with this a while back. A video that is clearly up on youtube right now. I re-uploaded it with restoration efforts to allow it to be more viable and in higher quality. At first it showed up in searches and was viewable just fine. But after a few days it suddenly got supressed, wont show up on searches, and for some reason took months for the new thumbnail to appear. But if you search for it on google it shows up immediately without any issue. Youtube seems to randomly target stuff for what seems no logical reason.
What your doing is good Emp, keep doing it, there's not a whole lot of people who make content because they want to rather then bending over to take Youtube's buttfuck just so they can keep their money. you've been one of the few channels i've still been subscribed to for quite a while, as every video is unique and not the same bullshit rehashed which makes me anticipate uploads and keeps me coming back.
Let me just say this: I do not work for YouTube i do not have any connections with them, and neither with Google. So I don't know what you expect me to do.
Things will never change on youtube That's the sad truth Let's move to another platform But noone has the power or money to do so That's a sad truth It could be done if all youtubers big and small come together to collaborate and make their own platform for everyone to enjoy without the fear of these issues. But either theyre not capable (dont have the money or experience) to do so or are just too lazy to move foward as they wont collaborate with others isolated in their own channel or see it as pointless endeavor And that's another sad truth We are all stuck on YouTube's platform noone is going to make the change for us and we cant do it alone so I guess were all in a downwards spiral and for good until everyone decides it's time to move on
It's so unfortunate that Youtube is so vague and cryptic with what and what not to do on this god forsaken platform. it just makes me want to find somewhere else to watch content, but we really can't do that because of there monopoly of video sharing. So we see creators like you trying to survive this toxic relationship you have with this site. I wish for the best with your future endeavors Emp.
What's worse is when people worse in the Copyright Metagame get off scot-free, while Youtubers who are being actually transformative with materials get punished. I've seen alot of channels which are just flat out reactions to content and showing full on clips of the, in question, original material, get a pass and in some cases, applauded by Youtube, for their works.
Ok I'm with you hudson I got 100 pounds of improvised explosives and a van let's take a trip to california visit Susan at work and let's "do something about it" lol
I find it funny how random videos like yours get taken down over things like actual porn or animals being beaten to death. I guess movie reviews aren't okay but gore porn is, good to know.
Half the time they even give you a reason it's stupid and nonsensical anyways. I had a video where 2 seconds of it was the clip of scarce snorting baking soda as a joke, his original video of that is still up on youtube with ads, but my video didnt just get age restricted, it got entirely struck off the website for "violating content guidelines on illegal activity". Thanks Susan!
There is a big budget movie, from a top monstrous studio that is under development right now, that happens to rely on both the horror elements that special effects provide and also happens to be a psychological thriller, both things at the same time, exploiting the isolation element within their current potential audience.
I wouldn't be surprised if the aforementioned studio among others, relies on YouTube for keeping potentially damaging content against their interests out of reach.
In the practice YouTube is a publisher, not a platform, and they as a private entity have the right to blow entire channels if they want to, although not strictly, morally nor legally acceptable, because their denomination legally speaking is still one of a platform, it's kind of normal to see that.
had no clue youtube demonetized history videos. That’s just wack and will overall hurt the future generations as the stop relying on books for information. Yet youtube has no problem promoting 5 carbon copies of ryan’s toy reviews because KIDS!
Google will never change. It's not Susans fault alone. She's a symptom of the problem for sure, but she's the nepotistic result of a corporate culture that cultivates that.
Emplemon: Makes video on how YouTube is blacklisting words like terror, hitler or other mature topics. YouTube: Plays an ad of Call of Duty cold war with graphical and extreme imagery.
There is a channel on YouTube that literally films whole, entire rodents being eaten and digested alive by various reptiles and ALL OF THEIR VIDEOS ARE MONETIZED AND NOT AGE-RESTRICTED. That makes me very angry at humanity.
I'm guessing it was flagged because it shows a flamethrower on the thumbnail, weapons in thumbnails are a big no no for YT, you can have mature videos as long as it looks child-friendly in a single glance
Usually when you upload a video I stop ever that I'm doing at that moment just to watch it. When the Thing video came out I immediately began to search for it but to no avail. Didn't know that it was YouTube all along-
Youtube says, "That's a mighty nice Newspeak Dictionary you have there. Let me just take those euphemisms away, it would be a shame if we had to ban you because a viewer with no previous relationship with your content objects to your play on words and hurt their feelings."
I mean to be fair the movie is R rated even on Youtube, so the video probably should be age restricted but so should all the other videos on it, it's not fair for them to just get you.
Emp, I have watched you for years. I understand that this isn't related to the video, but it's urgent. I'm imploring, no, begging you to make a video on the new Spongebob movie: Sponge on the Run. It is genuinely a mockery of the spirit of the show. A relentless cash grab of horridness.
its quite a shock to read through the google sheets document of confirmed demonitized words, some are ridiculous. for example, the lead singers from bands Soundgarden and Linkin Park are both demonitized words, most likely because they got rough media attention for their deaths years ago, but they're still listed.
2006-2010: youtube is for fun, no way to make money! 2011-2016: YouTube is a good job! 2017-2019: YouTube is for fun, don't make it a job or you'll be fucked 2020: good luck even uploading.
Your commentary is on point. That a robot gets to decide where your creativity and insight goes is extremely insulting. Kids watch whatever they're interested in whether there's an age restriction or not. At some point children will see reality and not the dumbed down version their helicopter parents cultivate for them. The children (like my son) who explored early YouTube and asked questions about things that were upsetting or difficult to watch will have a far richer life. I think censorship is something we should do in our own minds, not other people's.
What I would suggest is what the Angry Video Game Nerd did when he was becoming famous: upload a video to another site like StoryFire, release a 30 second to minute trailer on Youtube with a link in the description, and then some amount of time later upload it to Youtube. Doing this would make you slightly less beholden to the Youtube overlords.
They've been striking people very frequently recently.
I have been making videos for 4 years, and the other week a video was age restricted for the 1st time in my uploading history.
The video was called Mexicanfood.Mp4 and was a fake clip of a guy shitting a fountain with loudnigra and a spanish meme song from a couple of years ago.
Maybe it's because it was earrape, I did put earrape in the tags so maybe that was it, but it can't be. I've made much worse videos, 911 Jokes, porn clips out of context, making fun of dead people, so why the hell was it a tame-ish video that got restricted?
I'm getting really sick of them doing this to people, hopefully the restriction gets removed on your video or YouTube lighten their rules, but that's probably never going to happen though. :(
I somewhat see giving it an age restriction since you talked about a rated R movie, but I don’t think YT did it for that. It probably was the word AIDS or the visuals tipped em off
Can I just say something I realised recently? On youtube, if you want to make money, you have to target towards adults, but you aren't allowed (by guidelines) to target videos towards adults, so you have to target towards children, but that isn't allowed. What is YouTube anymore.
EmpLemon I'm gonna be blunt man. You should get a BitChute account so that you can have a backup of all the stuff you upload in case you get removed from the site.
HELLO!!! I want to spend time with celebrities. Just kidding. GAGAGAGAGA! I only want to spend time with my two girlfriends and record YouTube videos for with the 3 of us. OH YEAH. Don't hate me for living the best life, dear phro
I feel like the viewers should decide what the rating of the video is. If YouTube isn't willing to have real people review videos, have real people that are actually watching the content decide what the rating is.
I have been noticing some odd things about age restrictions on YouTube. Basically, the other day I wanted to grab some ghast sounds for a video i was making but then I saw the age restriction. A lot of you already know this but ghasts are from Minecraft which is a game that is very popular among people below 18 years old (and to all sorts of people in general). So why did this video got an age restriction? Maybe that YouTube played Minecraft and that it's scared of ghasts who knows?
I just got 2 videos i made 3 years ago down for violating the community terms. Problem is that it just was plain gameplay of a RTS game with no commentary so i have literally no idea why it was flagged.
@EmpLemon If a video is sponsored, in this case is was MANSCAPED, do the sponsors themselves have no protection when the YouTube gavel randomly falls onto someone's video? Like, I don't really know how exactly sponsors work, but this video was sponsored, and then YouTube shuts down your video. This causes not only your content to be censored, but the sponsor to be silenced as well, making your video a failed investment(?). Can a sponsor support your claim to get your video back on the air? Does your video being taken down damage your relationship with the sponsor? Are sponsors heading into a downward spiral now that the creators they help are being shafted by the big red eye in the sky?
This is extremely ironic. I’m a league of legends player. I just got a 2 week ban. My team mates told me to kys, so I all chat “shen told me to kys report please”. Then shen then reported me, and I received a ban. The chat log was what you just read. Appealed it to the website and I received a bot, and was told I’m unable to speak to a human about disputing my claim. Nothing I can do. I attempt to remove toxicity from the game, and I get banned for attempting this. Considering quitting the game altogether after this.
They're just bullying, it's getting pretty normal. If you want me to get Premium, Red, whatever. How about treating your creators with respect first, youtube.
The flame thrower in the thumbnail looks a lot like a gun and YouTube automatically age restricts videos with guns in the thumbnail so try changing it and appeal.
Lol i opened that video today in the morning i just watched 1h ago, lucky me on unlucky times. Bitchute gonna be the future of freedom of expression content. RIP 2005-2016, i got realy eerie when i saw that "red menace" post on emp video, the bottom description was talking exactly about susan
@Rock Golem turn out that YouTube hates him over a TRUMP clip in his review. Not making it up Also mr. Obvious got demonetize because how dear he expose vote Froude
You can't say you don't like "adolf hitler" or play a game with the word war in the title without getting demonotazed and censored by YouTube since the words war and Hitler are on the naughty list. So even mention that the great northern war, the thirty years war or world War one happened will get you demonotazed almost instantly due to the word war, it's a reality any youtuber that are covering historical events have to deal with.
Pretty sure you might just have to pull a James Janice of Dead Meat whenever you do future vids like this and blur out graphic imagery. Yeah, it kind of ruins the tone, and it isn’t exactly consistent with their policies, but if they keep handicapping your channel then there isn’t much of a choice.
I’m subbed with notifications on and I didn’t even see the other video in my recommendations. If it wasn’t for this video I probably would’ve never watched it.
Emp... make a BitChute to put all your videos on in case YouTube decides to take down your channel. It could happen, like how Mumkey jones got wiped off the platform
Meanwhile I'm not allowed to manually age-restrict my own content, a simple checkbox to say "Not for kids" when uploading. If I want to make something on a sensitive topic or super crude or whatever, I have to upload it, wait for someone to flag it for inappropriate content, and take a crapshoot as to whether YouTube will decide to keep it up with an age restriction or delete it.
why in the absolute (pardon my language) H E C K would youtube age-restrict your video?, it might be too graphic to show to kids, but that is what Youtube Kids is for, what the hell is YouTube's logic here.
historical revisionism has been a staple in US since its creation. Such as WW2, where Soviets did 80% of the work defeating the Nazis. But nowadays majority thinks otherwise. But sure, youtubers start to care when their pockets are being threatened.
Chris Hong2021-01-07 08:19:23 (edited 2021-01-07 08:19:48 )
The reason is the lack of passion. Tbh, I dont think susan cares about how the state of youtube is as long as its lining her pockets. She cares more about making the site more and more sanitary and "moral" because it would mean more advertising on the site. The reason why your video has been done like this is not because you made a video that goes against their philosophy. It is because they dont care at all, and that is much more scarier.
I'm not too versed in YT, but could it be the title itself? Perhaps the word "isolation" is triggering something within the algorithm 🤔 I remember the phrase "carona virus" being a no-no term for quite awhile...
I hate how I now notice every time someone uses breakyourownnews. It’s starting to be like seeing comic sans or impact font out in the wild and I hate recognizing it.
Emp, start uploading to C H U T E B I T. Grow a following there. That way if you or Youtube get fed up, you won't be 100% fucked. No need to self-censor there, either.
The troubles of modenr youtube as always...... meh the other day i got a thumbnail taken down for "community violations" but then no one told me what was the community violation. So i had to put a new one.
Nah,horror is cool on YouTube. You just got unlucky,or you channel is black listed in the algorithm. Honestly we will never know. Try putting in other channel and see if something changes.
I’d do story fire but another way you can get past the age restriction is if you type nsfw in front of YouTube it takes you to a website where you can watch it. Just don’t click on anything there except for the video
>Vid gets demonetized and not sent out to subs I think the obvious thing here is.. >Uploads new video saying that a video was uploaded >Video informing about the demonetized video is monetized and sent out to subs Stonks
Remember that episode of kids next door where some adults are trying to make all the kids safe forcibly? They get covered in bubble wrap and they get covered in tape and restrained. All of this happens because some adults viewed them as being too unsafe. YT are those adults right now.
At least this video hit my feed, thusly I’ll be watching the new banger.... hopefully they’ll just flip you on to a whitelist or something.... however they fix shit here
Just post one last video on YT, make it short, have the vid tell your viewers about your BitChute, pin it to your channel and then just upload to BitChute exclusively. Until a big chunk of the bigger YT channels start doing this, YT will just keep fucking with everyones channels and livelihoods. Need to speak with our wallets and go elsewhere.
I listen to the videos as I do things; chores or drive. This is on the level of a special education student who plays with his own waste. Comments like this have been taken down by a English bundle of sticks or a fashionable English cigarette. Does this platform think is this forever?
Look, before we get too deep into it I just want to take a sec to send a huge thank you to the beautiful people over at RAID SHADOW LEGENDS for sponsoring this video.Now you guys know I don’t usually take on sponsors, but I’ve been hearing a lot about this game recently, so I decided to throw some hours at it and give it a try,and I gotta say I’m really liking it so far. For those who don’t know RAID SHADOW LEGENDS is a free-to-play turn-based RPG that’s got like 15-milliondownloads over the last few months. Google Play even nominated it for an award for being one of its top RPG’s.
@tugger I haven't seen the word horror used in a title in a logn time, my dude. upload a video, and add #horror to it. it will NOT appear above the title as hastags in description will do.
maybe youtube should actually let us fucking talk to them and sort out issues like this other than standing on there throne of "we do nothing wrong, it's the content creator's fault" and if they arent willing to do that at least rework the fucking system
I feel you man. I fucking hate Youtube's copyright/ strike/ demonetise/ take down shit. Feels like all videos must only be shitty clickbait content for 5 year olds with 'no bad words'. I don't make any money from your platform anyway, Youtube; so why are you tryna to fuck up my shit!? Just trying to have fun, man. Damn.
I'm a subscribed, bell'd supporter with 100% or nearly there view-likelihood for Emp, and after the first video upload that was removed before I could watch it I never got recommended the "second" (for us; it's emp's third?) upload. It did show up in my notification feed, but not on my recommended page, I missed the notification so yea whatever though. Not sure why the same videos I've seen before keep popping up in my feed but not new videos from my favorite youtuber(s).
Cold number calculating machines that have no real definitive training data, including creative exceptions nor human emotions or feelings, regulating numbers that represent frames that represents a video is an amazing idea that will definitely work without any issue! «-- i.e. YouTube thinks this dumb machine can actually police content without issues.
This, amongst many other reasons are why I basically gave up on putting videos up here these days, because what's the point of it? No matter what you say, no matter what you do, someone over there at Google's main office is going to have a right royal hair across their ass about something you say and boom, next thing you know, your video's gone. Not only after that, bam, 'nother video's bit the dust. Then for the coup de grace, another strike comes in much like the RKO From Out Of Nowhere and then KABEWM, your channel's gone like a fart in the wind.
It's like what Styxhexenhammer said. It's high time to invest your time into alt-tech, because these legacy fuckers are far too infested with bullshit and let this amongst everything else just die a slow, painful and agonizing death for the sake of everyone else and whatever you do, just keep on going.
Simple. Just make a hashtag and at least 100,000 other people and fans to @ team youtube and susan in order to get it maybe reinstated and maybe get a reasoning for it’s problem. 👍🏼
A buddy of mine just got his YT account banned, supposedly for a comment. Even if he did say something so horribly egregious that it warranted a strike isn't he supposed to get a warning? This just happened within the last 24 hours and I don't trust coincidence. Is there some kind of new fuckery afoot?
the funny thing is that the movie itself is R rated which means that 17 year olds can purchase and watch the movie but 17 year olds can't watch a youtube video about the movie
Sam jacksons gun in pulp fiction is a star model b. Which is a 9mm despite its visual similarity to a .45 caliber 1911. Anyway theres your trivia for the day
say a bad word - demonetized, tossed off the recommended, age restricted
become too friendly - coppa
Honestly, it feels like YouTube completely forgot about the fact they made YouTube kids. When I was like 10 years old I was watching those wacky Spongebob YTPs and I grew up fine.
YouTube isn't broken, the world is! change yourself into the mindset of an advertiser and try to keep your reputation, if any. what happens is everything negative or bad which you dont want to be associated with WILL be DMed
Off topic but does anyone remember when emp lemon said they'd try to make dislikes as unnoticeable as possible? I can barely notice likes now because of this update, i would forget i liked something because its just white for likes and dislikes now

Why don't the YouTubers unionize and strike? Literally, the whole platform of youtube would tank to Netflix without its creators, tank fast and HARD. The viewers and subscribers could boycott youtube as well to show support for their favorite channels. Or everyone mass exoduses to nebula or curiosity stream. Youtube is capitalist, and in a capitalist system people do not vote by ballet they vote with their dolors. It seems like there is a real need for a streaming platform that's free and offers freedom of speech to genuine content creators. If someone would truly want to put youtube in its place, CREATE COMPETITION, using the above-mentioned need as a backbone for your business model and target audience. Your advertisement for the new platform could also come from the MEME community, who deeply despises censorship and would blow the whole thing sky-high as an issue that would sweep the internet. Just look at everyone's post below and see how much of them are MEME's? Some people in this chat have posted about Storyfire, looks pretty legit.
Youtube started as people uploading videos for free, then people started monetizing videos. Now were are back to uploading videos for no monetary gain because "yellow sign trolololo"
This is a softban on free speech if you ask me. Sure, you can go ahead and make the video, but if you do we will either take it down for no reason or just age restrict the video so you get next to no views or money.
I made a collage of a bunch of gifs of cartoon characters dancing with some of that crappy audio library music as a joke and YouTube decided to take it down for "Sexual content"
A Human reviewed and approved the video you deleted which a bot had flagged before, so why on earth would even consider a completely different upload to be safe from being flagged? Did you really think that YT content id’s all their videos against future uploads? This was well and truly your own fault.
@Smashed Tomatoes OK dude. Just don't complain. Live your dream. I'm just saying the golden age of youtube was back when you started. If you didn't get big before 2010, you won't get any traction unless backed by a multimillion media organization.
I'm sorry, but I can't get behind you this time. Many other channels have discussed this film, and there may have just been a system error instead of malicious intent on Youtube's part. However, I do agree that it's disgusting that Youtube never gave you any reason for the video's takedown.
You should put a bigger boarder on the thumbnail. It kind of looked like a community update at first, only noticed it because of the timestamp on the right corner
the major issue with youtube is its retardedly bad communication, between youtuber and the support. Like some of their reason of taking down the video is mostly small but reasonable, something that usually most creators would turn a blind eye but due to the lack of communication, the youtbers has no clue on why they got it taken down, look at mama max for example , he made a video around predators , it some got taken down, it literally took another video and the whole community and hashtag answer us pedotube, to get a simple explination that the personal info is being exposed. Like are u fucking kidding me, Litterally an explination can help long ways but why can they not just explain the issues and why are the youtubers has to guess the issue.
It’s just like that old saying “those who do not learn from history are doom to repeat it” how funny the ones on top rather hide the importance of that said history than let it be told even if it’s offensive and hurtful as a person who wants to be a historian one day I seen the writings on the wall idk if it’s just me but it seems politics influenced history hell we are seeing it where politics are changing people from the past, personalities and Changing the prospective of the events to fit their narrative i wish we can learn from our ancestors mistakes instead of being ashamed of our ancestors even if they done horrible things what do you expect from people back then? Ik this may not be relevant I mean in the comments and what I say may be extremely obvious but stilll.....
Remember that scene from The Amazing World of Gumball Episode The Joy (or whatever that episode is called) where Ms. Simian draws over the child's drawing with a sharkfin, just to show how anti-happiness-on-Mondays she is? If only Emplemon was still making YTPs, just to take that clip, and put a black-and-white photo of Susan Wojicki staring oppressively at the viewer in all "Big Brother is watching you" fashion, with the words "OBEY; WOJICKI!" on the top, and bottom (respectively). Then, when Ms. Simian walks by, instead of drawing a sharkfin, she draws "DIS" next to "OBEY", and makes Wojicki's face very silly, and comical looking, maybe with crossed eyes, a clown's nose, and her tougne sticking out, just to comically make fun of her dictatorial behaviour over her control of Youtube. THAT would be either hillarious, or emboldening, or both! Hey, Emplemon, can you, or someone else make this happen?
Huh, odd. I never got this (The thing video) in my recommended. I don't have bell notifications on, but I get non-bell subscription notifications all the time.
The problem with human reviews is that Youtube hire people of 3rd world countrys who barelly speak english and different cultures and languages affect the judgment of those who analyze the videos
Why the fuck does YouTube wish to "shield" everyone like this, it's fucking outrageous. And the worst thing is YouTube is so big that there's no chance for competition... aside from Twitch but that wouldn't end very well. It's fucking absurd, like something straight out of a dystopia.
> Finds Urotsukidoji legend of the overfiend > Plays it and youtube says its for Made for kids > An Horror themed hentai that was made in the late 80s makes me wonder that YouTube's algorithm is broken again
YouTube: What? You want fair treatment? Have a strike. Oh you're crying now? What? Other people did what you did? That's not relevant. This is you we're talking about. You need to produce content that makes us more money.
YouTube is not a place for discussion of mature themes. It is a place for you to get excited about the next product after consuming the last product, while hopefully having consumed that last product on YouTube, so they got money from it. Also consume the next product on YouTube too, so they can get more money.
Tbh, fake blood and gore is more than eligible for age restriction in my view. If you uploaded an animation with grossly detailed blood and gore, then it's still not suitable for children, even if the carnage in the video is completely fake. Still nonsensical that your video got age restricted while other videos on the Thing didn't, though. Either all of them should be, or none of them should be.
Man it sucks you have to deal with this bullshit. YouTube has really fell from grace over the years. It's sad this had become the new normal of getting your creativity stripped away.
Did you NOT realize you lived in a digital corporate global totalitarian reality!?
Don't worry. Neither did we. Isn't it amazing, how our worst nightmares snuck up and stole all we achieved. Heartbreaking, when we grew up in a world that shuddered at the thought of burning books, censuring artists, and at last codified human rights. All overturned by a colossal institution that exists in the ether to rule our fucking lives.
History will be amazed that we came so very very far as a world of people, only to turn backwards when gifted with the power of the internet. Bless you, there will never ever be another Emperor.
If You ask me emp, I would bet that YouTube think you were supporting Trump. There was a clip in the video that could be missiterpreted while You we're giving your conclusion
I guess it was too in-depth compared to the others, who were more clickbait and incorrect. Youtube loves the smell of misinformation, and any detail wrong is a dollar sign to them. Considering your style and how you fact-check during the editing phase of a video, maybe that's what is triggering the alarm for the bots as majority of the lies spewed from conspiracy theorists using much more violent and disturbing imagery are still up on the site as a recrootment tool. Meanwhile, youtube bans certain words and expects the bot to be 100% on point.
Corporate accounts on social media think they are hot shit, but then back out when called out. This happened recently when a disgusting ad was made using iconic SNK characters, and a very OOC Terry Bogard, practically the face of the FGC second to Ryu. This will no doubt get demonotized on Youtube due to the very bad timing between it and the controversey surrounding EVO 2020. This is why a second outlet for funds is important.
That really sucks, i really enjoyed the video, sorry. I had another weird take down on a really old unlisted/privated video, but it was just clips of other youtube videos. It was pretty innocent but i guess because it had an Idubbz clip it got taken down completely?? Im not going to ask for it back, since its really old, but i at least want to know why this happens. Anyways, take care dude, sorry it happened to your hard work.
Youtube needs to have a system where if the age of the child is below 13 they get youtube kids of something because it feels like there trying to keep things that are getting the creator of the video more into trouble when they themselves already have something to help them like i don't know... Youtube kids?
YouTube is basically We do not condone you uploading content that defend bully victims! Oh bullying video with 2 million views? Why should we take that down, too much profit to loose
YouTube Kids is for content aimed specifically at young children, or videos that directly appeal to them. It isn’t for “Anything that isn’t explicit”. YouTube still wants to keep the main site generally advertiser-friendly in order to make money. Not saying I agree with YouTube btw.
Youtube has done far stupider things to me, I got struck for using a song that wasn't even presented in one of my videos but seeing how I'm small with no fanbase I'll just need to put up with the shit. Also Youtube isn't a source of revenue for me and more about preserving or updating irrelevant archives that I think are important to me so I suppose I could care less? it makes no sense but logic is logic and the rules aren't the rules on this platform.
In the words of the great warrior poet DJ Quik “If it don’t make dollars, it don’t make sense”. I quoted someone and mentioned history. Now my comment will be pulled. Sorry Youtube overlord.
I'm a small channel... MINISCULE channel. I only make videos for My Friends and for self appreciation. Most of them are short, but I decided to make an 11 minute higly edited Review on an anime, talking about points that I didn't see no one talk about. I put My heart and soul into that video... Since I'm from Venezuela, My internet is terrible, so it took me about 2 days upload a 1GB video... It got took down and I got striked for no reason, I'm telling ya, it is as if Youtube doesn't want people to upload content to their platform... Now I dunno if I want to make videos anymore
50% of YouTube who seen mr. Beast: he isn't THAT sus right? The 25%: he is so sus his channel might die out like Shane's and Leafy's. The other 25%: screw you idc.
I NEED HELP: can someone tell me whwre is the video EmpLemon made about the Phineas and Ferb theme song? It was the fuckn bomb but I cant find it. Appriciate the help!
Another annoying thing youtube is doing is unnecessary, irreversible format changes that you just have to deal with when nobody asked for the change. Like what they did to the comment section.
I'm really sorry about that, Emp. This was my first interaction with The Thing, and I've made plans with friends to go watch it for the first time this halloween. We appreciate your content, even if the algorithm and YouTube employees don't.
I appreciate you just doing you, what fun is there in being a doormath, just rolling with whatever and never being out of line? Being critical and saying what you think is what makes the world a slightly better place.
what the f*ck. watched it yesterday and was about to say that it was one of your most brilliant videos, going in depth into the subjects and possible interpretations. Hope you keep doing what you do, love your stuff.
Wow, and it is such a great video! At least if they had told you what the issue was... but I guess this is how Youtube is now, a platform full of chaos, where you don't know who's video/channel will be the next victim.
To be fair, I can understand why it's age restricted due to the disturbing imagery in The Thing. That footage is brilliant and terrifying. What I don't understand is why the other channels are in the green for some reason. They should have the same precautions for 'protecting children from disturbing imagery' and have to deal with the same measures.
I am a human. I have reviewed (watched) the video and its contents. I can confirm that "The Thing: Horror in isolation" and its creator, "Emplemon", followed YouTube's rules. Reinstate advertisements for "The Thing: Horror in Isolation", remove any age restrictions from said video, and remove any strikes, bans, or overall punishments from "Emplemon" pertaining to said video.
0:00 No Reason Given 0:21 Maybe the Imagery tripped YouTube Content Cop 0:50 Successful Appeal 2:37 Hundreds of other videos Use The Thing 1:18 Vegetative State Video
Imagine going to work and on payday you had to spin a wheel for the amount with several spaces having a big fat zero lol.
With monetization being a source of a lot of creators sole income how can they have such an unorganized inconsistent system in place? There should be no reason if your video was reinstated once without any restrictions then again with one.
I remember back in your YTP days watching your WW2 YTP that got a laugh out of me some years back. Looking back they would never let anything like that slide these days. I went looking for it the other day actually, and behold, it's nowhere to be found.
I'd always suggest going to another platform like Vlare (once it's back up), BitChute (once they stop asking for donations), or GabTV (once it's released), but there's no way you'd get anywhere near the traction or revenue you could on YouTube. The days of YouTube being a "video sharing platform" are long over. It's now just television publisher on the internet.
Wish you all the best Emp. Your channel is awesome still.
I'm seeing more and more videos like this one from many other creators. I think it's time to start mass exodus towards a new hosting site. Youtube is on a downward spiral. Any suggestions??
Is it that hard for Twitch to basically do a YouTube ripoff? I feel like they have the perfect audience for it and people will probably still have to use sponsors, but at least less will be censored. I think...
The same thing happened to one of my YouTube poops. I had to edit it so much I just deleted the video because it was disgusting mess by the time it was eligible to be uploaded.
Amen Emp. Had a video taken down recently for including hate speech for including 5 seconds of the German song Funkerlied. This comes after I started watching what I upload after an edgy video I made years ago got taken down for the same reason. I've been trying to be a good little boy and YouTube kicks me in the balls for a second time. YouTube's guidelines bot is more sensitive to erupting than action movie gasoline.
Hey bro I think it was how you associated compelling themes of the movie and how society is dealing with the issues we are presented with today. It may be entirely political
Good reason to branch off to YouTube alternatives like Storyfire, but also Bitchute and Odysee. They'll never grow if we never try and YouTube will always have their hands twisting content creators nuts
I saw the notification, then i said "Well, i'll watch that in a minute after a DOTA match" then i came to see it be removed, i'll admit i was sad, fuck YouTube's automated systems, atleast its here now.
Ya YouTube is super inconsistent which is infuriating and super frustrating but I don’t think it’s unreasonable for YouTube to put on an age restriction for a discussion movie which has (and the video shows) a lot of super graphic content. Just to be clear YouTube still isn’t in the right on everything else IMO
It's not just you. Two of my emulator tutorials had the same fate hours ago. They have been deemed not safe for ads (only limited), and now both have age restriction. I filed an appeal but right now i'm ready to just disable ads in these videos anyway (they never made more than 0,1 cents anyway thanks to limited ads). I just don't get the age restriction when i have many other similar videos that got the free pass.
We should go back to newgrounds js... Hear me out people have several alt tech donation options if ur donations get big enough make backups on newgrounds ur editing skills would really bring more people back to the awesome platform
youtube just age restricted a 6 - 7 year old video of mine lmao no reason stated, even after appealing. it literally doesnt break anything within the link to their guidelines that they sent me
The article you mentioned about the Armchair historian is either exaggerated or downright false. The channel is still uploading content as recent as 6 days ago when this comment was posted, and still has content dating back to the time the article was written. It is entirely possible that he took a break, but didn't outright quit youtube.
Youtube bots must have gone mad the past couple weeks. 2 weeks ago, one of my video thumbnails got removed for a violation. I appealed. My appeal got approved and my thumbnail reinstated. 2 hours later, thumbnail got removed again. I appealed again and got it reinstated again in a day. 3 hours later, the thumbnail got struck again. I contacted Creator Support asking what the hell was going on. They said a specialist looked into it and that the thumbnail was reinstated. 18 minutes after the Creator Support told me it was reinstated, the thumbnail was removed, yet again. Earlier this week, I received news that the thumbnail was reinstated for the 4th time. So far, it has not been removed for a 5th time.
Ever since Mumkey was whacked I’ve feared for any creator with a brain. I support you EmpLemon! In fact we need to form our own political party, the Lemon Party. I’ve created a website with details on how to fight back but I can’t post links in the comments so just search “Lemon Party” on Google to find our site!
Where can one like, complain to google? I can't watch critical, well made content like yours, but every pedo and groomer and bad-faith corporate shill gets recommended and propped up by YT and google.
I've been watching your videos for years and I have your notifications on and everything. I got pinged for this vid But I never got notified for ur previous vid. Sad.
I got my video in the collaboration "One Horrifying Moment"on Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds blocked worldwide because I used the song "Ain't No Time" by Bill Withers over audio of George W. Bush addressing the nation on 9/11, and followed it up with a montage of the war in Iraq and a quote from an article that day. It continued into the credits where my voice over takes up the second half of the video, and it's TRANSFORMATIVE AS WELL AS A CRITIQUE -- I BASICALLY PULLED A DR. STRANGELOVE... BUT the bot assumed that it was just a 1/1 recopy, so now I missed an open window to build my audience and get it seen by as many people as possible, and it's still in limbo if it'll get unblocked after it's finally visable. This website is so goddamn frustrating sometimes, and I can't believe I have to jump through this many hoops so I can get a SLIM CHANCE of getting a fraction of the viewers I would've gotten before.
Fook man i was plan to watch the video, YT bots is indeed always in Agressive mode but even more ferocious during Varus pandemic.

Can you talk about some Stephen King mini-series particularly I would love to hear your opinion about Rose Red that mini series has been approved for television so it should be okay for YouTube
lol they cant tell you why it was taken down because a robot is running the whole operation, and they cant bother improving it because that would be a time investment with no payout
You deserve it though for those stupid disclaimers you made about not bullying people, which we ignored and teached those trolls and meanies a punishment.
"I'm tired of your yappin'. All you ever do is complain, you never try to make things better; Well I'm running away from this dead-end family, I know there's a place for people like me with new ideas, there has to be!" 'Fine get going.' "Oh, I'm going. And you're gonna be all 'Where's Bender, I miss Bender'". 'We won't know that until you leave.' "Oh I'm leavin'" 'There's the door.' "I'll be good."
Kinda tired of content creators surviving off of YouTube yet complaining about it in every video. Sounds like spoiled brats cursing their parents after getting an allowance every week.
YouTube just doesn't want content with actual effort, they want factory content that seems to be made by a machine that uses Numbers instead of quality in it's algorithm. YouTube has turned to shit, you either get out of here and do something else on your life because no one had the brilliant idea to create an better youtube, or you just keep being google's pet. It sucks
Grateful for you making the video, reuploading it on Storyfire, and taking it in stride to move forward to the next project. When I saw the original video I clicked SO fast
YouTube: Hey, babe. You know I like it rough. Users and Creators: Movie reviews and analysis go down while abusers and animal killers thrive. YouTube: Oh! Ohhh! OHHHHHH! I'M COOOOOOOOMING!
Also there is a Movie Junkie's 15 min video consists only of every monster from The Thing no commentary, no nothing. It was uploaded 5 years ago and maybe new rules apply only for a new videos?
Hey emp! Maybe you are being targeted because of the us elections. YouTube has become more strict. Since you made the trump video that made him look good, like a meme god, then YouTube now things that these videos are trump friendly content. Which means, bye bye any videos. Although this is just my theory...
You made it all up so you can just make money on story fire 🔥 did you . And it one point you self defendant YouTube so by you logic YouTube can't do wrong.
You mustn't be afraid, for it is simply the will of M O N T I Z O N passing through your channel. Do not be angry, for M O N T I Z O N loves you, and died for our evil, racist sexist homophobic racistsexisthomophobicracisexihomphoBFKEGJEKGBWGI-
It's purely out of habit. There are alternatives but only the people that are banned from Youtube use them. People will stop using Youtube when everyone is banned from Youtube.
Editing is a profession; editors actually make movie composers’ jobs easier. How are editors supposed to be industry-ready if YouTube discourages editing?
I sincerely hope big name youtubers start switching to new platforms. I'm so sick of all the censorship. We don't even know what they're censoring. I hate youtube so much but they have the monopoly. I wish creators could get together and collectively decide to use another platform.
I truly feel sorry for you Emp, i discovered this channel about a year ago and I feel that you get better with every video. So far I've been enjoying your content and I gotta say you've opened my eyes about how Youtube treats their creators absolutely terribly.
If i can save up some pennies i'll probably buy some of your merch.
I'm just glad I had notifications on so I got to see the full video with no issues as soon as it came out to benefit you. Great video, keep up the good work Emp no matter what BS YouTube throws at you you'll always have the full support of the subs!
The Thing video, as with all your other recent videos, was excellent, entertaining and informative. Looking forward to more top-tier content, good luck to you not getting boned.
It's stuff like this that makes me want to reach through the screen, grab one of the few humans working for YouTube and ask them "How did I violate the terms of service?" just to get a straight answer from someone's mouth. God forbid you just get an explanation on what the violation was, and of course their Team YouTube twitter is an absolute joke. I couldn't fucking believe it when they tried to be like other edgy brand Twitters with the "and yet you follow us" tweet. They're just fucking assholes and they know it. Why is it so hard to get straight answers? I know the site has been like this for forever now, but goddamn is it still frustrating.
I was concerned when I saw it got taken down the first time. I guess I just need to stop whatever I’m doing whenever I get a push notification to watch the content. I’m glad I still got to see it. Keep up the good work king.
It took them a week to review one of mine. I've heard of others who had their appeal answered within an hour to four, others almost two weeks. That lovely inconsistency at it again.
Damn I guess I was lucky to see the video, and it was a great video. Seriously fuck YouTube, just generally doesn't make sense to censor people that are giving you money or promoting your content.
I know this doesn't fit very well, but I respect this man more than anyone on the site. He speaks his mind and when he is stopped, he works around it and gets his message heard. Respect Emp, respect.
I know how you feel. Last year, I shot a scenery video from a video game with an hour's length and a couple of weeks later, I got slapped with a copyright strike. So I had to take the video down.
YouTube is literally broken. Any time you upload a video you have to pray that some glitchy AI doesn't kick you in the balls over a few seconds of footage that shouldn't even be against YouTube's rules.
I can relate. last saturday i tried live streaming Silent Hill 2 and the stream was taken down for no appearant reason other than the assumption that it was a horror game. It also happened when i live streamed Death Stranding and heavy rain too but i could only assume that was because of the cutscenes of the people taking a shower, but it was just random when it would be taken down, because one stream i had taken a shower at least 4 times in DS, but the video was never taken down. the end where a fucking baby is shot in the chest was not taken down either. i have no idea what causes this and i don't really know if i can do anything about it.
If the word F E A R gets you demonetized, does that mean that we can no longer mention a certain someone who made a story on animals in a farm so people aren't educated about YouTube's increasing power on our freedoms? We truly are on a downward spiral.
I was really excited for the video, clicked, and it was blocked for TOS. Came back hours later to find it buried at the bottom of the subscription pile, while I will admit that I got a notification for it initially, if I didn't dig for it I would have missed one of my favorite videos!
Thank god. I thought I was going fucking nuts because I wanted to watch that video again, Yet it wasn’t even in my history. I figured my brain made it all up warning me in your voice that isolation is making me go insane. To be careful of others in the future. Sorry your video got screwed over by YT
When I opened the video on my watch later playlist, it said it was taken down due to containing copyrighted material. I searched up the company name when I saw that, but i can't remember. I'll try searching for it and see if it helps in any way or not
You got to be fucking kidding, how did such a great video even violate TOS? I swear they're gonna give you the Mumkey Jones treatment if this keeps happening.
Something similar to this happened on a much larger scale. A nintendo direct was released yesterday, and it was immediately taken down by youtube with no explanation. The video was back up with no edits in 5 minutes because they finally pissed off the wrong billion dollar Corporation. Youtube is finally the one in hot water because of these unexplainable take downs.
Personally i think what got the bots angry is that you showed a Norwegian getting shot, and because you did not grieve for 5 min for the lost souls at the Norwegian lab. This guess is equally likely to all other guesses, so ergo: YouTube think Norwegians are more important than other people. Flawless logic. Almost as good as the bots
Make a similar formatted video but change the subject matter to something kid friendly to see if it’s really the content that gets the video taken down
Probably the only solution for this is to move your passion work somewhere else, but you can't do that because less people will see it and you won't earn money in any other video posting websites.
I think the real problem here is inconsistency. The Thing is an R rated film, so making it 18+ kinda makes sense. I'm sure the for-purchase film is 18+ as well. But, they don't lay down the law evenly. Some creators (big and small) get away with it, while others seem to get prejudiced by the ban hammer. IDK. I'd rather them screw everybody over fairly (so we can learn their standards) or not at all. It's crazy, I agree.
Looks like the movie available for purchase on youtube has an R rating, so it would make sense to be age restricted. Maybe it had something to do with the scenes you showed in the video (and maybe they didn't show up in the other videos you mentioned later?)
Me: I'll finish watching this video later. Youtube: No you won't.

to be fair, showing clips of an 18+ movie, including gory scenes makes that age restriction a no brainer (also funny that the vid was never taken down on my end, and im in germany, the country where everything gets blocked)
I mean that does make sense to a degree, it's just bullshit how 1.) a video getting age restricted makes it pretty much dead in the water as far as recommendations go and 2.) as Emp said there's loads of videos that use the same footage and don't get age restricted. I think what's gotten him so pissed in this is just how Youtube is so inconsistent with their decisions.

@Theodore Hodbor how does he know that the other videos are not restricted? i cant see that his video is restricted anywhere in the info and if i take the videos url ( https://youtu.be/NorHmI6wTec ) and load the video in a browser where im not logged in on a different computer it loads and plays just fine and if you search for "the thing" videos on that computer i get to see all those videos aswell if you search for it, you see it, no matter the restrictions it simply wont be reccomended as such or go in the trends tab as youtube is covering its bases and tries to appeal to a general audience, cant show small kids gore after all
Upload the video in 2 minute chunks on another channel. See which one gets removed. If none get removed, repeat with 4 minute chunks just to see if you accidentally split the 'offending content'.
Then sit there basking in your useless info, since youtube will still do nothing about it.
Could you maybe sync your videos to https://odysee.com ? It'd be nice to have your content on a theoretically uncensorable decentralized platform, instead of just two centralized platforms.
I was thinking the only thing that MIGHT have got it taken down was because of the word "terror," but you showed they took it down for using horror instead. In conclusion, what the fuck is this platform anymore
The same happened to me with the community guideline strike. Appealed. It wasn't a community guideline strike but still age-restricted. I cannot appeal the age-restriction. Here is the thing YT is probably doing everything correctly because in the broader landscape of the site it is smart to keep any content or content creator that could "harm" the site as small as possible. I will not go into a conspiracy theory here bc those are dumb but there are probably a bunch of automated systems that have flagged you.
funny how they attack your video, but yet I've seen more then 10 videos of uncensored hentai stay up on Youtube for more then 3 years. It's sad as fuck to see this.
Wow an education video that shows the positive of a great horror movie classic and compairs to modern epidemic thats going on in the world LETS TAKE IT DOWN!
P.S its mostly because its a Rated r movie. Should have just review something more pg friendly like spooky buddies Halloween and even that too much for youtube. Please dont btw
I can somewhat understand an age rating because it's an R rated movie (an oldschool one too at that, you don't just get an R rating back then for nothing), however it still completely sucks that it completely neuters your video getting recommended Because everything has to be for everyone (or kids) or else it's for no one apparently. Even still, kinda dumb that you can't talk about historical events here without an age restriction when we get taught about genocides in middleschool. Obviously it shouldn't be shown to kindergarteners but once you reach middle you should be able to learn about Hitler's escapades. Hell I'm pretty sure I got taught about racism and slavery in elementary.
Spread out to alt tech, mate. It takes content creators like you to take a leap of faith now and grow these other sites with your following so that you won't have to rely on YT forever. Sure, there won't be monetization there now or right away, but as they grow, they will come and they are growing, but they could use people like yourself to accelerate that growth so that everyone wins. No need to just quit here and migrate to BitChute or whatever altogether but branching out helps.
the problem is that youtube is really run by bots that arent even that good. youtube might have people who run it but they are using bots to do the job.
Dude this makes no sense, I’m pretty sure that some movie clip channels have video clips of the movie SAW and those are considered “child friendly” this is just bullshit
sync your channel to LBRY, then it'll be accessible both on LBRY and the other portal for it odysee. They make the process straightforward and automated, and it gives you leverage and autonomy over your content again.
Its honestly frustrating to see how youtube fucks people over. I watch a channel that covers WW2 history, and 99% of their videos get demonetized. I think viewers need to start putting serious pressure on youtube to make it a freer site.
As for right now, i’m glad to hear you won’t be changing your style or topics just because of the fucked up system. You’re one of my favorite creators on this site, and us fans truly appreciate the effort you put into your videos. Keep up the great work Emp.
Didn’t they make a separate app for children? What was is called? YouTube Kids? What’s the point of going through hell and back making sure anyone who is even thinks about sensitive topics is demonetized when you have your own separate fucking app that already solved the problem???
Youtube has so many videos that they can only do so well with reviews and takedowns without hiring many many many thousands of people (or more) to full time go over every video in detail and then write a report on it. It's flawed and often shitty but I mean what can you expect, I don't hate youtube for it, I don't even think youtube makes google a profit they just keep it around because it's such a big thing they can have on the internet.
The other reality is advertisers just don't want to have ads on content about hitler or something like that so what can youtube do short of just abandon profits entirely and lose even more money on the platform. At least they don't just take the videos down entirely (most of the time)
I've seen family friendly let's players with 3 digit sub counts get fucking blasted out of nowhere and someone else I watch for reasons makes content that is basically 18+ and I get 2 ads every 3 minute video and have for years.
I also know a guy who replaced "Sex" with "cereal" in his videos, still said it like 100 times while talking about his escapades and was fully monetized from then on XD
Then he uploaded a video of a cockroach and was demonitized for graphic content.
I seriously don't understand why there's a whole app called YouTube Kids that's specifically for children's content, but age-restricted videos still get demonetized and not promoted by the algorithm. Why do people need to make content that's safe for kids if this platform isn't even for them? Why can't we have an adult platform where we're allowed to see adult things because we're adults?
Aw we must thank everyone on YouTube who said coppa Bad . EMPLEMON is one of them and he band the knee for sussan so I don't feel bad for this soy boy.
empy itrs soooo obvious its cause, like, The THing, is R RATED , and thats SO SCARY ,oh GOD NO im getting scawed thingking about it!@!!! .just think of the children!!!!!!!
Don't hate me, but aren't most people on youtube past the age-restriction? Like, I made a Youtube account when I was 12 JUST to get past the age restriction. Iunno, I think most people that are watching Emp aren't under the age of 12 and know how to get past age restriction.
Well, I'm gonna re-watch the video, not just because you need the views but it's an amazing analysis on perhaps my favorite horror movie of all time. Youtube sucks man, hope they get their shit together.
I remember opening your review, watching half of it, going to finish packing a box, coming back and it just being gone for the next couple hours. Youtube can honestly get fucked
What bugs me is other analysis videos and clip channels never got demonetized and they showed some of the most gory and gritty scenes in their videos. Like you said.
YouTube is weird, they never send me notifications or put your videos in my recommendation after years of not watching your channel but as soon as you criticize them it appears magically.
YouTube has seriously become soft over the years to appeal to kids when the sight was never meant for kids....it's not our fault that we have Karen's leaving their kids on a phone
Dear Emperor, will we ever get another “There will never be another” ? if so that would be more than satisfactory. All of your videos are amazing, you deserve more credit than you get, highly appreciated. 🐐🙏🏾
@Aflay Yeah I’m aware and it really sucks. Content creators like Lemon, can’t go all out like they want to, they have to constant worry while making content to fit a narrow criteria, it’s insanely frustrating for the creators and the viewers like me. YouTube is dumb 😐
@Aflay Yeah indeed he will. That’s why he’s one of my favorite YouTubers. First video I watched from him was the “there will never ever be another show like Spongebob”. From there on, I was hooked.
Someday, the internet will wake up and learn that the ad dollars of coca-cola and the good graces of the music industry arent worth destroying the platform for, seeing as its basically impossible to create a sanitized platform or enforce copyright anymore. You can just say "nah fuck off" at this point.
this reminds me of a music video which used beef in place of human guts, got taken down with no chance of getting back up. they had to cut the shot of it.
Rip I had to re edit my most recent video because of 10 seconds of copyright material. It was flipped, minimized, and there was no audio. I was also using it for a review. I had to re edit the part that was flagged, render the whole thing again, and reupload it. I didnt even get an email from YT- I only learned that it got taken down from fans commenting and insta dms. YT's copyright and takedown system needs a rework to make it more clear. Also, I'm glad that I was able to watch your "Thing" video before it got taken down!
Doesn’t Cr1tikal have a company that allows people to actually sort out these kinds of “YouTube double standard” problems? You should try contacting him about it.
it's sad that bitchute is one of our only options. it's that mess or the shitshow vlare, or the dead in the water vidlii, or a rabbit hole of other shitty video sharing sites moral of the story: youtube is hard to replace
@evelync64 Only because they get government subsidies and have useful idiot activists at all the usual terrorist groups get their competitors shut down for various ideological offenses. Total carpetbagging cronyism going on. Bitchute is building the self-sustaining infrastructure it needs so it can survive these attacks.
@Funcrackeh It's just a place to post whatever, no real theme to it, but I made it so that everything is sorted by newest, so that the ratings/title determines if you want to watch/listen to it or not, no algorithms. It's far from finished, but it can be found at cosmoa.net :)
@CPWolf 24 yeah but did you forgot that is only code in the end of the day . But sad to say only Google control's this part . To bad EMPLEMON has no balls to call them out or else his channel will get removed Alex John's style .
UPDATE: YouTube has reversed the age restriction! We're back in business, baby.

38 likesalmost all of the content creators and viewers are already exclusively on youtube, i would much rather youtube become somewhat competent then switching to a niche competitor with 0.1% of the userbase. besides, while a competitor may appear be more stable with having actually competent content policies, it's much less stable financially because it isn't backed by a massive corporation. even if a competitor gained traction, it's really just trading one problem for another i feel.

0 likes@TVB BLM is more of a broad movement encompassing multiple tendencies and tactics than a single organization bearing that slogan as its name. The "official" org is run by harmless liberals - at this point, barely distinguishable from moderate conservatives - who would unilaterally condemn terrorism and throw more radical left BLM-adjacent orgs under the bus. Simply applying the blanket designation of "terrorist" to all BLM protestors, that's erring on the side of a lot of false positives or watering down the definition of terrorism to the point of uselessness. By a similar metric, every cop is a cold-blooded murderer because some of them have killed civilians during arrests, and lines of police clad in riot gear and backed by tanks are committing acts of terror on behalf of the state to intimidate even the most peaceful, unarmed, and naive anti-racist protestors, people who may find themselves having to throw a punch just to defend themselves as dozens of officers swarm the crowd on all sides for daring to stay out past sunset even if they were just walking home as a group.
35 likesThis extremely inclusive classification door seems like it should swing both ways, but it doesn't because scary designations like "terrorist" only ever seem to apply to non-state actors. When an officer kills a Black civilian when nonlethal force was an option, secure in the knowledge that his city will in all likelihood refuse to prosecute him via grand jury and his department will defend him at almost every step, is that particular officer not terrorizing the civilians in the community they're supposed to "protect and serve"? Even if you believe there are troublemakers and agent provocateurs using the protests as cover to burn shit down and wreak havoc, the root sentiment that liberal and radical anti-racists unite and rally around is opposition to these occasional instances of unchecked state terrorism
No appeals to law and order are going to distract the (mostly poor and Black) communities subject to the sort of police terror from the reality of the situation: they're at the mercy of roaming gangs of armed men and women acting on behalf of the wealthy ruling class, some of whom can kill and kidnap people with little accountability if you allow them to find an excuse (and they can easily find an excuse) because they enjoy legal protections that criminal gangsters and other (implied to be Black or brown) "thugs" often don't, precisely because they're state actors. Which do you think is more dangerous to a peaceful civilian, all else equal? The gangster whose mugshot shows up on the nightly news and will very likely serve life in prison for murder with zero political pressure from the masses, or the officer whose unprovoked and premeditated killing requires sustained pressure from the masses to even warrant a manslaughter charge?
Returning to the earlier point about false positives, the FBI terrorism watchlist and similar government terrorism lists are a fucking joke. The FBI are themselves basically federal cops, which necessarily makes them potential political enemies of a movement like BLM and motivated to use any tools at their disposal to artificially discredit, criminalize, and demonize that movement.
This is why the FBI would want to cast a wide net to scare white and politically conservative people to turn them against ultimately just causes like the movement for Black lives and other people's movements. Such lists also provide pretext to monitor and surveil even the tamest political groups outside the liberal political mainstream, including completely nonviolent liberals for daring to question the bad behavior of even a few bad apples among the police. This is transparently a divide-and-conquer tactic to turn otherwise potentially sympathetic people who might have a common cause on other issues (especially economic issues!) against anyone using the BLM slogan.

2 likes@cooldude 101011 You have a point. Given the conditions under which US police are conditioned to find it acceptable to "have to" kill certain (usually Black/brown) civilians based on "killology"/sheep-wolves-sheepdogs propaganda (not joking about this, these terms are actually used in a specific common police training program), spur-of-the-moment cases are probably significantly more common than premeditated cases (in which case I would argue it's 2nd degree murder rather than manslaughter). Looks like I may have gotten the legal terminology here incorrect. That said, I stand by everything else I wrote previously, which is based on systemic analyses of the US's criminal justice system, and of the role of police as agents of state violence.

For one, your video wasn't innocuous, sanitized, childproof, and disposable. So we disposed of it for you! To succeed on our wonderful platform in the future we strongly recommend that you're edgy enough to definitely not be a violation of COPPA, but not edgy enough that a child's mom or a journalist could throw a temper tantrum.
We also recommend that you uppload waaaaayyy more than you are now. You ought to be putting out daily videos! You have to outpace the competition! You need to be attractive so we can put your face next to lots of brands!
We've decided that in order to help you out, we're going to delete your old catalogue and give you a clean slate to start with.
This has been your check-in from YouTube, goodbye and good luck!

2 likesHey Emp, software engineer here. From a developer's business/legal standpoint, it doesn't make sense to add a creator to a whitelist after being manually reviewed, especially if they upload a different video later. From a data analysis standpoint, a re-edited copy of the same video might as well be a completely different video, so if you upload an edited version of a manually reviewed video the algorithm has to re-evaluate it from scratch.

I've heard that there are third party services which can scan your video, beforehand and give you a percentage chance of it being safe for YT upload. Its the equivalent of submitting an assignment in UNI and getting a free Plagiarism scan, before submitting it and tripping alarm bells.

4 likes@Picky Physics Student Sounds like an expensive process if it's automated - processing still images is fairly fast, but processing video to find things that would violate the TOS is much more intense for computers.
5 likesAlso, hi again.
I think you misunderstood what he said. Correct me if I'm wrong but what he really seemed to mean was that he was surprised the video he filed the appeal for wasn't added to some whitelist, which would make a whole lot more sense, as that sort of thing could just be metadata stored with each video on YouTube's end.
4 likesIf the bot flags something that it thinks is infringing in the video, then finds out later on that it's not, then it should keep a note internally that this particular thing is not a problem. The fact that it flags multiple videos by the exact same creator for the exact same thing, even after being told it's not infringing on anything, is pretty silly.
9 likes@HeXaGoN no, he said that he took down the original video that was manually reviewed, re-edited it because he was unsatisfied with it, and re-uploaded it. That makes it, from a computer's standpoint, a completely new video.
1 likeIn theory, yes, it's possible to keep a copy of manually reviewed videos in a cache, and use the video recognition algorithm to determine they are the same basic video, but in practice this is impractical, as it's an edge case.
@JJ You can't just trust a user not to upload something against TOS, if they find out they're whitelisted they could take advantage of it and post something against TOS.
8 likesIt sucks, but ask ANYONE in software if they trust their users. It's not safe.
Underrated comment.
1 likeI still don't think it justifies YouTube age-restricting the video though.
@Muffin Ch. アグリバスタード I'm not necessarily talking about the reupload of the same video. I'm saying that if the algorithm identify a feature it finds in a video to be a problem, but then finds out later on that it's not, it should flag that feature as "ok" so that it doesn't do the same mistake again. It might or might not use that information to better analyse videos by other creators, but the fact that it flags the same problem two times when analysing two videos by the same creator is just egregious. For a company like Google, that makes billions of profit a year, to not implement something so basic is pretty suspicious. To me, it's either one of two things.
2 likes1: They are incapable of doing it, either because they lost control of the software and/or all the competent people left the company for greener pasture
2: They are unwilling to implement such a change because they either don't care whatsoever for the creators or they think it's in their best interest to leave them in a state of constant fear and paranoia.
Either way, it does not reflect well on them as a company.
@Sydney Bean I agree. Many people have a very high opinion of Google when it comes to software, but I'm starting to think that reputation is unwarranted.
1 like@JJ The fact that you called that feature "basic" shows that you have no idea what you're talking about. That's very complex, especially in the realm of video analysis. Look up Fuzzy Logic and the math behind it. Computers are not magic. You can't just tell it to do something like that and have it work. Somebody has to define an algorithm that takes a list of concepts, which can be billions of concepts long by the way, and checks that concept in every second of all of the millions of videos on this platform. This is not basic. This is ADVANCED technology that just doesn't exist. Name ONE existing copyright/TOS violation detection algorithm better than YouTube's. You can't. Because at the moment, it's the best we have.
2 likesTo be clear, I'm not trying to be aggressive or toxic in refuting you so harshly. I simply don't want people spreading misinformation, and harshness gets across very clearly in YouTube comments
2 likes@JJ Duwang is spitting straight facts, if an algorithm such as you suggest were so easy to implement, then why has nobody implemented a system like this? Given, the systems in place on youtube aren't really found on any other platform, but therein lies the issue. Youtube is essentially forging a path in the dark, what with the legal/consumer-needs balance when it comes to video hosting. Even if it were so easy to create, you would then have the GARGANTUAN task of looking through the established code/algorithms, and attempting to merge them together. Working with amalgamated code sucks.
2 likesThe bot is not a data driven match/compare procedure, it is already a featural neural net, something that is indeed trivial and in fact integral to its operation is to have reinforcement systems for preferred or unwanted features to be highlighted by it, that is an aspect of its definition
0 likesWhat really is happening is that the algorithm is so global that his sample doesn't affect the bot that much, or the algorithm is not allowed to use real samples as training data, I find the latter unlikely.
0 likesAlthough, the algorithm is likely many branched and cached states of the same system that gets deployed in phases, so his influence on it may not be felt until some later date.
Google has mega servers for a reason. If they're too dumb in the code for the system to automatically realise a video is almost exactly the same as it was before then they've done nothing to improve it. Can't say I'm surprised, though. They managed to dumb down image search.
0 likes@Trenos301 We've had neural nets that do this kind of work for years. Google has made this kind of thing an iterated on it for years. If Google, dataminiest company of the miners of data, does not have enough data to train their nets on for this kind of work, with Youtube even being at their disposal, than they are just bad.
0 likes@Muffin Ch. アグリバスタード You assume that to create a gargantuan algorithm impossible to comprehend, and that cannot even know internally what itself is doing, is the only way to identify copyright infringement, but it's not. I might have exaggerated when I said it was "basic" to identify features in a video and compare it with other's, but what I meant is that it was "basic" for a company like YouTube to implement something like that. The algorithm they have created can clearly already identify what in the video is infringing, or else it would not work at all. From that point, it's a matter of extracting that information, storing it and applying it in other videos. Since the other video in question is almost a carbon copy of the other, it should be possible to correlate both videos with each other, identify that the only infringing parts of the videos were already previously identified by a human as "not being a problem", and to let the video go live. That is not "magic", that is completely within the realm of possibilities. But that would make sense. To assume that since YouTube implement "fuzzy logic" (which I think is a massive oversimplification of what is actually going on, but whatever), then the system has to be a black box with no way to access to it's internal working in any way, is to me closer to thinking of computers as being "magic" than my own assessment. But I digress.
0 likesIf the whole system was, as you say, just a giant fuzzy algorithm, with no way whatsoever to reach what was inside, then you might have a point. If it was, however, then it would fall into my first guess as to why the system is as it is: They have lost the ability to comprehend or control the software they created in any way, shape or form and they're just as lost as anyone else as to why it makes these decisions. A scary thought indeed.
On a different note, you argue that since YouTube is one of the only (maybe the only?) company with an algorithm to identify copyright infringement, therefore their system is the best we can do. That is a fallacy. For all we know, YouTube's approach to copyright infringement detection is completely wrongheaded and will be looked back in a few year as a failed experiment. There is such a thing as being fit for purpose. Yes, there are too many videos being uploaded at one time to review all of them by humans (although they could very well review manually videos created by bigger creators, and the fact that they don't is baffling in it's own way). However, just because there is a need for a review system, doesn't mean that their approach is fit for purpose. And fit for purpose it ain't. To have an algorithm make decisions that impact the livelihood of people, without even being able to justify those decisions in the most basic way, or even learn from those decisions when clearly told those decisions are wrong, is in my opinion wrongheaded. The only reason people on YouTube accept it is because they have no choice.
@JJ I am done arguing over this, it's been over 24 hours and I don't really remember the video, so I'll just justify my previous statements by saying that I never meant that the YouTube algorithms are never going to improve. Obviously, they will. It's just going to take a while, because the technology doesn't exist yet.
1 likeAlso, I never meant to imply that fuzzy logic was the only piece of the algorithm. I was merely showing a fraction of the complex math required to do what you described. There is MUCH more to it than that, but fuzzy logic is definitely an integral piece of the puzzle.
@Void of Space and Time You know a mega server is just a bunch of expensive computers in the same room, right? All they do is make the code run faster by splitting different jobs into parts and running them concurrently.
0 likesAlso, since video search is the same as image search, why don't you code it yourself if you're so smart? The algorithm already exists, right? Should be ezpz for someone as smart as you :)
@Muffin Ch. アグリバスタード I'm not sure why you assume that the technology for what I'm describing somehow doesn't exist. A software that can use machine learning to identify features in one piece of media(ex: a video), that have the ability to correlate those same features to another piece of media, is not some alien technology from the far future. Think of an algorithm that can identify if two pictures are of the same person. The similar features can be highlighted and analyzed by a human. Machine learning algorithms does not always equals black boxes.
0 likesBut fair enough, no need to argue any further. I doubt that continuing the discussion would lead anywhere.
That does not at all explain why this happened to him, this just explains the obvious that a whitelist is not a thing across the board, even for slightly altered reuploads. What he needs the answer to is why they took struck it down in the first place.

7 likes@Greedy Gamer The topic isnt "Private companies and owners cant enforce rules" the topic is "is it ethical to censor and silence people?" and the answer is no, it is not. Censorship has been used universally as a way to control the populace under a thinly veiled mask of ethics and morality.
8 likesIf you create a forum about cars and car repair, one of the first rules you would make would be "stay on topic", no? You own the forum after all, and you made it with the purpose of talking about cars and such. Its not exactly censorship as someone stating, say, political opinions shouldnt really be doing so on a forum about car repair. You dont go to a Christian church to preach about Islam and you dont go a Mcdonalds to order a Whopper. Because all of what I mentioned are owned by private companies/people, and made for a specific purpose. Regardless, you have the right to do so because you own the website.
Yes, that does mean youtube, as a private company, has the right to censor people with wrong think. But the problem isnt "Youtube shouldnt be allowed to censor people" the problem is "It isnt ethical to censor people with "wrong" opinions, especially on a platform so large and wildly used".
tl;dr the discussion is about the morality of censorship and not private company's rights to enforce their own rules. Private businesses have a right to do what they wish with their own property, but it doesnt make it any less unethical and wrong to censor someone on a platform advertised as platform to share ideas and opinions.
@Greedy Gamer You aren’t really stupid enough to try comparing YouTube, an incredibly broad platform that has videos covering a plethora of completely different subjects, to a car repair forum, which is a very specific niche, are you? Someone leaving comments about slaughtering others has no place on a car forum because what does that have to do with cars? The comparison you’re trying to make only makes sense on an individual channel level, where a creator wants to keep their channel away from certain topics, and that’s what features like the ability to review comments are for. That’s not something YouTube as a whole should have any business in, with very, VERY limited exception. The most I’d say is permissible to censor on a platform-level would be comments that clearly violate U.S. federal law, such as sharing a link to where someone could download CP, and spam from bots. Anything else should be left up to the discretion of whoever runs their channel.

0 likes@Greedy Gamer They said it doesn't work; the seeming implication being that we should want it to? (we shouldn't).
2 likes@Greedy Gamer What shady corner of the internet? Giant corporate platforms like youtube, facebook, twitter and reddit aren't small, unknown corners of the internet; and Prism is a thing, remember? I say that, for the most part, content and speech regulation should be more or less left up to agencies actually legally qualified to determine hat is and is not legal expression. Websites should be able to moderate based on relevancy; but on giant platforms like the ones we're talking about here, nearly everything is relevant.
2 likesPorn should be only allowed on websites that explicitly allow it; and gore shouldn't be allowed anywhere, for the most part (fake gore from movies, and videos or images used for informative or educational purposes being the exception); But political speech, even heinous political speech, should never be censored (again, unless it isn't relevant, which isn't the case on large websites like these being discussed). Incitement and directed threats are obviously not okay, but they're also already illegal. Platforms should not enforce speech laws, but should rather defer to legitimate legal authorities to handle such actions.
Said legal authorities may need to be expanded somewhat to handle the extra capacity, but let's not kid ourselves here, they'd just be making official what they've already been doing anyway without telling us. They already have most of that infrastructure in place.
In short, ISPs as well as large platforms act more as infrastructure than as private organizations. Them being able to arbitrarily censor legal speech, business, or other activity is a detriment to public interests. They should be banned from doing it in the same way that businesses are banned from discriminating on the basis of race, sexuality, religion, ideology, political affiliation, or etc.
And when someone breaks laws or norms on the premises of a private business irl, these businesses typically do not have private security forces to enforce their own version of the law. They call actual authorities employed by our representational and somewhat accountable government to handle the situation. I see no reason that online businesses, especially platforms, should be any different.
@Greedy Gamer you understand that YouTube was created as a means to "broadcast yourself". It wasn't designed with any purpose in mind other than that, and it was successful for ten years under that model.
4 likes@Sebastian Hahn I see what you’re trying to say, but the sheer amount of things on YouTube alone that would then require legal action is staggering.

My theory is that certain channels that have maybe a critical or skeptical perspective, maybe not even related to Covid, but, say for example, EmpLemon's video about the red headed guy that "discovered the wormhole in YT that leads to software CP" is kind of an edgy subject, therefore YT removes the benefit of the doubt typically afforded content creators & throws their content on the chopping block based solely on hot button words, like "Isolation". In other words, they don't look at the videos as a whole or check context, or even friggin subject matter at all, the bot catches a word, removes the video & chop. They don't have to worry about it. Videos that don't violate TOS slip through the cracks & get deleted, but they don't care because the broader net takes down anything approaching the subjects they want creators to avoid. It's complicated. Hopefully this makes sense.

Around 3 hours later when i went to show it to a friend, it showed up as removed by youtube. The idea that it was removed for being graphic is still bewildering considering how much content on youtube i can find depicting the same imagery. The downward spiral never ends.

@Amphibians RiseUp Probably because there exists a multiple maturity levels that are in between "heavily mature" and "fucking preschoolers"...AKA teenagers...
2 likesidk just a thought...
@Alienrun Your acting like you’ve never seen or been around a teenager. Most teens want to be “older” A.K.A, cooler, so of course they might wanna watch more R rated films or M rated games. Every teenager I have met in Middle School or High School can handle that kind of stuff. Your forgetting how tolerant teens are to these kinds of things. Obviously they’re not “mature” but they’re not sensitive to movies, tv shows, or games with adult themes
2 likes@Amphibians RiseUp Some teens are like that, not all of them tho. Like you have a lot of teens that are immature but try to get into mature media to seem more "cool" or whatever, thus being "edgy".
1 likeOf course, now that I think about it you could argue that teens who don't want to come off as "older" and stick to media for kids/teens are less mature due to not wanting to grow up.
As for their tolerance towards mature stuff, it depends. Like yeah they are more tolerant than a kid but I'm sure its not to the extent of an adult.
I guess my view on it is that while a teen is way more independant than a kid, that doesn't mean they are an adult yet. They shouldn't get into edgy stuff just cause, it should be done with a sense of purpose and genuine interest in understanding the realities of an adult world that they've yet to be responsible for. Like yeah a parent should loosen up on what their kids watch when they are a teen, but they shouldn't all of a sudden switch to "Yolo watch whatever you want! Who cares!"
TL;DR You are technically right on all of this, but I think the context and nuance of the situation take priority over "teens are adults but younger" when its really the other way around...
...that I feel is what tends to get lost whenever the subject of raising kids gets discussed/questioned.
@Amphibians RiseUp You are right. Also why does everybody always assume somebody is going to get pissy whenever another person expresses an opinion? I do not get that either.

My best guess for the takedown was Emp making the (possibly accidental) implication through his editing that Trump was comparable to Macready, using Trump's "fire and fury" comment right after saying men like Macready have "no choice but to pick the least terrible option". The "fire and fury" Trump clip is followed by a shot of Macready shooting literal flames at the Thing, and later a brief mention of the Cold War doctrine of mutually assured destruction accompanied with a shot of Macready blowing up the Antarctic facility, killing himself and the monster. A YT reviewer might see this and make the (likely wrong) assumption that Emp endorses Trump's stated willingness to exchange nukes with the DPRK, despite the brief mention of Emp's other video discussing that time a nuclear exchange was narrowly avoided.

And of course, their support team says you're not allowed to use other content at all. So, does that include music and green screen effects too? They completely contradict what their FAQ page says. It's all so frustrating that it really makes me want to leave to another platform...
this is the only time I've been disappointed :c Only because I was super excited to see another video so quickly, but it's more of YT being YT. Hopefully they give you something to work with though. Their system is broken. It shouldn't be this tedious to find out what you did wrong.

It told me the video had been taken down for breaking guidelines, then I found it in the other tab and could still watch it. The relief I felt in being able to watch that video pre any form of censorship YouTube might unleash was unparamount. It felt like I had jumped on something special in a tiny window.

0 likesTo me it makes perfect sense. Youtube is a company that wants to make cash. So to maximize profits, they prioritize fixes that will appease their sponsors (mainly mainstream media companies). In their own eyes, their system is not broken, since its current state is not losing them any profit, and fixing it is an investment that does not bring them any new profits, so it would be a net loss. I presume the reason the rules are as vague as they are is specifically so they have the ability to do what their sponsors tell them without impedance (or lawsuits, probably).
0 likesTL;DR: fixing their system would likely be a net loss, so they are not going to do it.

0 likesI strongly suspect that the reason nobody ever gets a reason for their video getting taken down is that YouTube literally doesn't know. The bots that control automatic takedowns are, imo, most likely high complexity ML systems with many input nodes and many hidden layers. No human being is capable of understanding the exact inner workings and "motivations" of a system like that once it's been trained and starts producing results. It's basically analogous to an incomprehensibly large, automated, higher-dimensional, nonlinear system of equations that outputs the probability that you've broken TOS, given the data the network was trained on. The system is incapable of explaining itself, all it knows how to do is "solve" that big-ass system of equations to decide whether or not to demonetize/community guidelines strike/recommend your video.

We are all stuck on YouTube's platform noone is going to make the change for us and we cant do it alone so I guess were all in a downwards spiral and for good until everyone decides it's time to move on

I wouldn't be surprised if the aforementioned studio among others, relies on YouTube for keeping potentially damaging content against their interests out of reach.
In the practice YouTube is a publisher, not a platform, and they as a private entity have the right to blow entire channels if they want to, although not strictly, morally nor legally acceptable, because their denomination legally speaking is still one of a platform, it's kind of normal to see that.
Excellent videos, don't give up.

0 likesYour commentary is on point. That a robot gets to decide where your creativity and insight goes is extremely insulting. Kids watch whatever they're interested in whether there's an age restriction or not. At some point children will see reality and not the dumbed down version their helicopter parents cultivate for them. The children (like my son) who explored early YouTube and asked questions about things that were upsetting or difficult to watch will have a far richer life. I think censorship is something we should do in our own minds, not other people's.

The video was called Mexicanfood.Mp4 and was a fake clip of a guy shitting a fountain with loudnigra and a spanish meme song from a couple of years ago.
Maybe it's because it was earrape, I did put earrape in the tags so maybe that was it, but it can't be. I've made much worse videos, 911 Jokes, porn clips out of context, making fun of dead people, so why the hell was it a tame-ish video that got restricted?

For those who don’t know RAID SHADOW LEGENDS is a free-to-play turn-based RPG that’s got like 15-milliondownloads over the last few months. Google Play even nominated it for an award for being one of its top RPG’s.

0 likesWhy don't the YouTubers unionize and strike? Literally, the whole platform of youtube would tank to Netflix without its creators, tank fast and HARD. The viewers and subscribers could boycott youtube as well to show support for their favorite channels. Or everyone mass exoduses to nebula or curiosity stream. Youtube is capitalist, and in a capitalist system people do not vote by ballet they vote with their dolors. It seems like there is a real need for a streaming platform that's free and offers freedom of speech to genuine content creators. If someone would truly want to put youtube in its place, CREATE COMPETITION, using the above-mentioned need as a backbone for your business model and target audience. Your advertisement for the new platform could also come from the MEME community, who deeply despises censorship and would blow the whole thing sky-high as an issue that would sweep the internet. Just look at everyone's post below and see how much of them are MEME's? Some people in this chat have posted about Storyfire, looks pretty legit.

Then, when Ms. Simian walks by, instead of drawing a sharkfin, she draws "DIS" next to "OBEY", and makes Wojicki's face very silly, and comical looking, maybe with crossed eyes, a clown's nose, and her tougne sticking out, just to comically make fun of her dictatorial behaviour over her control of Youtube.

0 likesIf You ask me emp, I would bet that YouTube think you were supporting Trump. There was a clip in the video that could be missiterpreted while You we're giving your conclusion
0 likesI guess it was too in-depth compared to the others, who were more clickbait and incorrect. Youtube loves the smell of misinformation, and any detail wrong is a dollar sign to them. Considering your style and how you fact-check during the editing phase of a video, maybe that's what is triggering the alarm for the bots as majority of the lies spewed from conspiracy theorists using much more violent and disturbing imagery are still up on the site as a recrootment tool. Meanwhile, youtube bans certain words and expects the bot to be 100% on point.

Corporate accounts on social media think they are hot shit, but then back out when called out. This happened recently when a disgusting ad was made using iconic SNK characters, and a very OOC Terry Bogard, practically the face of the FGC second to Ryu. This will no doubt get demonotized on Youtube due to the very bad timing between it and the controversey surrounding EVO 2020. This is why a second outlet for funds is important.

0 likesI got my video in the collaboration "One Horrifying Moment"on Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds blocked worldwide because I used the song "Ain't No Time" by Bill Withers over audio of George W. Bush addressing the nation on 9/11, and followed it up with a montage of the war in Iraq and a quote from an article that day. It continued into the credits where my voice over takes up the second half of the video, and it's TRANSFORMATIVE AS WELL AS A CRITIQUE -- I BASICALLY PULLED A DR. STRANGELOVE... BUT the bot assumed that it was just a 1/1 recopy, so now I missed an open window to build my audience and get it seen by as many people as possible, and it's still in limbo if it'll get unblocked after it's finally visable. This website is so goddamn frustrating sometimes, and I can't believe I have to jump through this many hoops so I can get a SLIM CHANCE of getting a fraction of the viewers I would've gotten before.

God forbid you just get an explanation on what the violation was, and of course their Team YouTube twitter is an absolute joke. I couldn't fucking believe it when they tried to be like other edgy brand Twitters with the "and yet you follow us" tweet. They're just fucking assholes and they know it.

0 likesI can relate. last saturday i tried live streaming Silent Hill 2 and the stream was taken down for no appearant reason other than the assumption that it was a horror game. It also happened when i live streamed Death Stranding and heavy rain too but i could only assume that was because of the cutscenes of the people taking a shower, but it was just random when it would be taken down, because one stream i had taken a shower at least 4 times in DS, but the video was never taken down. the end where a fucking baby is shot in the chest was not taken down either. i have no idea what causes this and i don't really know if i can do anything about it.

0 likesProbably the only solution for this is to move your passion work somewhere else, but you can't do that because less people will see it and you won't earn money in any other video posting websites.
0 likesI think the real problem here is inconsistency. The Thing is an R rated film, so making it 18+ kinda makes sense. I'm sure the for-purchase film is 18+ as well. But, they don't lay down the law evenly. Some creators (big and small) get away with it, while others seem to get prejudiced by the ban hammer. IDK. I'd rather them screw everybody over fairly (so we can learn their standards) or not at all. It's crazy, I agree.
0 likesLooks like the movie available for purchase on youtube has an R rating, so it would make sense to be age restricted. Maybe it had something to do with the scenes you showed in the video (and maybe they didn't show up in the other videos you mentioned later?)
0 likesMe: I'll finish watching this video later.
0 likesYoutube: No you won't.
to be fair, showing clips of an 18+ movie, including gory scenes makes that age restriction a no brainer

I mean that does make sense to a degree, it's just bullshit how 1.) a video getting age restricted makes it pretty much dead in the water as far as recommendations go and 2.) as Emp said there's loads of videos that use the same footage and don't get age restricted. I think what's gotten him so pissed in this is just how Youtube is so inconsistent with their decisions.

0 likesYoutube has so many videos that they can only do so well with reviews and takedowns without hiring many many many thousands of people (or more) to full time go over every video in detail and then write a report on it. It's flawed and often shitty but I mean what can you expect, I don't hate youtube for it, I don't even think youtube makes google a profit they just keep it around because it's such a big thing they can have on the internet.
0 likesThe other reality is advertisers just don't want to have ads on content about hitler or something like that so what can youtube do short of just abandon profits entirely and lose even more money on the platform. At least they don't just take the videos down entirely (most of the time)
I've seen family friendly let's players with 3 digit sub counts get fucking blasted out of nowhere and someone else I watch for reasons makes content that is basically 18+ and I get 2 ads every 3 minute video and have for years.
I also know a guy who replaced "Sex" with "cereal" in his videos, still said it like 100 times while talking about his escapades and was fully monetized from then on XD
Then he uploaded a video of a cockroach and was demonitized for graphic content.
I was only halfway through...

0 likesI seriously don't understand why there's a whole app called YouTube Kids that's specifically for children's content, but age-restricted videos still get demonetized and not promoted by the algorithm. Why do people need to make content that's safe for kids if this platform isn't even for them? Why can't we have an adult platform where we're allowed to see adult things because we're adults?

@Aflay Yeah I’m aware and it really sucks. Content creators like Lemon, can’t go all out like they want to, they have to constant worry while making content to fit a narrow criteria, it’s insanely frustrating for the creators and the viewers like me. YouTube is dumb 😐

Rip I had to re edit my most recent video because of 10 seconds of copyright material. It was flipped, minimized, and there was no audio. I was also using it for a review. I had to re edit the part that was flagged, render the whole thing again, and reupload it. I didnt even get an email from YT- I only learned that it got taken down from fans commenting and insta dms. YT's copyright and takedown system needs a rework to make it more clear. Also, I'm glad that I was able to watch your "Thing" video before it got taken down!
