skyfire Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 YouTube must be getting a lot of pressure from the SJWs and the ad networks on what is acceptable and what is not. They have made changes to the policy regarding the what type of violent content is accepted. You can check the new guidelines here. https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/21744943 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpotato Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) I'm confused, from what I understand this is technically not a bad thing, according to these guidelines youtube creators will able to upload simulated or planned violent videos without getting an age restriction "ban" or "tag" (I dont know what to call it), which makes the video harder to find or watch, instead the videos will be subject to approval from Youtube.

That’s what I was getting from the article as well. I really don’t see the problem here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For consumer side there is no issue. It only affects gamers who play horror, thriller, action, zombie genre of the games where violence can't be controlled inside the game.

skyfire Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 Affects as in maybe they get tags for violent game inside sort of warning. And maybe also have to take down game or being asked to shadow list to certain age group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats actually whats getting me confused, according to the guidelines the new policies will help content creators to prevent their videos from being shadow listed from a certain age group due to violent content. I know that YouTube has been demonetizing a lot of videos recently and these guidelines are supposed to help prevent that, well at least thats what I understood.

skyfire Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 The games which are often get reported for the blood and other violence won't be appearing in specific feeds and trying to bypass some feed restrictions I guess is under review with that policy.
