    If you don’t talk about LGBT drugs violence Canadians mental health it doesn’t exist. Won’t someone please think of the children?! Let’s keep the internet safe for everyone. I’m starting a petition to remove any content not safe for anyone over 5. Please limit any naughty words to p*opy or d*rn.

      Mods can we ban this guy? Putting floaty stars in the word doesnt mean we magically dont know what it is. Theres a time and a place for such filthy language and it most certainly is not the internet.

    DDLC is pretty tame when compared to the various visuals novels out there. If Google hates DDLC, then I’m pretty sure they would go crazy over any Russian VNs that made it onto the Play Store. Those have a bunch of sensitive material.

      You can say any word on yt, it’s just that some get deprioritized by the algorithm, which hurts ad revenue, so people choose to self-censor. That’s different from them taking something down so it can’t be viewed at all.

        This is a bad take, using their major corporate power to bully people into censoring themselves beyond societal norms is not OK.

        I’ll give you a list of words that I’ve decided are not allowed and every time you use one, I’ll reduce your pay by 10%

          It’s not a “take”, that’s just how it is.

          I also dislike ad-based funding of everything, that’s why I’m on the fediverse. Also don’t like a “take”-based internet, but don’t tell anyone…

        Pretty sure they actually take videos down they deem straight up against their policy, the deprioritizing happens on top of that to videos that aren’t exactly against policy but they dont wanna promote it anyway

              YouTube doesn’t ban specific words, they have policies against certain types of content. You can individually say basically any word. But if you arrange those words to form a threat against someone, that will get pulled down.

              No. Unless you straight up talk about genocide they likely won’t remove your video. you can swear as much as you like, talk about all the sex and gender topics you want without getting it taken down. The self censorship is due to demonetisation (or just worse performing ads), unhappy algorithm so you don’t get as many eyeballs, and age restrictions.
