They are judging a book by it's cover; it's if the video is enticing to kids/would want to make them click. You swearing halfway through/saying it's for an adult/boarding a plane with your butt doesn't factor into it. Because animation and cartoons are named as for children this could be a fucking huge issue for art channels, anime communities, etc. Also do videogame characters count as cartoons? I mean look at my sig there's Crash Bandicoot down there is he a cartoon that entices kids to click?

The video I'm talking about is a tour of the city museum (all ages playground) in St Louis and is titled "City Museum Outdoor Playground!!" or something. I have another one of ipatch going down the Ten Storey Slide there. (aside, that hurts your ass A LOT would not recommend)

I could see some bullshit algorithm pulling some shit on me for those videos. I mean does a tourist video showing a giant playground and slide appeal to kids? probably? But I definitely didn't make it for that purpose? idk. It's just so weird to me that it's so open ended that it could basically apply to anything, even people who posted silly tourist videos in 2010

I've been trying to figure out exactly how YouTube's spider works... and all I can glean is that YouTube prioritizes middle-popularity videos and content-creators with previous infractions. There's no real telling if YouTube is gonna bother visiting every single video, or if they're just gonna pick on the same targets again.

a more thoughtful post:

here's the 42k in context quoted from part of their statement:
'The Rule allows for civil penalties of up to $42,530 per violation, but the FTC considers a number of factors in determining the appropriate amount, including a company’s financial condition and the impact a penalty could have on its ability to stay in business.'

personally i have a video that has 3.2m views from 4 years ago with ads on it that is gameplay of a cartoonish game that has ~1,300 dollars of ad revenue accumulated with no other videos coming close. if they really wanted to go after me they could, but they wouldn't fine me 42k. they'd fine me a portion of 1,300 worst case scenario. but it wouldn't be worth their trouble. there are so many other people who make more who is more worth their time.

point being they aren't just going to go crazy on small time people who don't make a living from it. there will likely be people made examples of who are rich from youtube but would survive outrageous fines like logan paul or pewdiepie (logan paul is way worse than pewdiepie but pewds is the face of yt of grey area) etc. who will approach the 42k per video as stated above. those are extreme outlier cases and waving that number around without context is fear mongering.

if i made significantly more from youtube or was a regular content creator i would be very very worried. luckily for me this was never my livelihood. in fact i've never even claimed any of the money lol. personally moving forward i see no need to delete my yt channel but i won't monetize any new content i make because the sheer gray area leaves so much open to interpretation it's not worth the stress of seeing if pennies can be made from it on the side while it's done as a hobby.

That's good to keep in mind, but like I said my worry isn't so much me getting a fined
But most of the concerns are all just speculation until something happens

If actual humans review my content I'm not concern.

If YouTube gives them a bot like it does to the companies that copyright shit for a living, then that's an entire other issue

i don't think you understand how much content is uploaded to youtube every second

I don't understand the point of deleting our accounts at all, all this new challanges that peoples come up with are just terrible. My youtube account has been created since 2011 and with the help of subscribers.video my traffic increased by 4 times than me working on it myself, I would personally highly recommend it to everyone who is looking to get more peoples on their account and make some type of profit from it.

It’s very important that we consider all perspectives moving forward

This is the part where I sincerely wonder if that's a spambot, and now I'm worried that they're evolving...
