It's all a big lefty conspiracy. Only guns and conservatives are being targeted.
YouTube's Restricted Mode Is Hiding Some LGBT Content [Update]
Unless you're a liberal, and YouTube is restricting channels focusing on LGBT issues.
Where's LeadEye with his "always follow the money"?
Youtube hasn't always paid for content. It might be interesting for some of you to take a look at the history of how users started to make money, how the program expanded, etc. I *think* it was when Google bought it that some uploaders started to get paid.
The Restricted Mode issue is also separate from the demonetization issue. I'll re-visit this thread soon with a larger explanation when I have time... but the Restricted Mode, Gun channel thing, and advertiser problem... are mostly separate.
Google/YouTube may be complicit, but they also may be entirely incompetent. They shouldn't be assumed to be the enemy here. There are some big powers outside of Google that have a major influence on what's happening.
At least one part of it is definitely about the money, and the dying old media launching attacks at new, influential people.
