This is likely less to do with Logan Paul, and more to due with the previous adpocalypse issues that have occurred in the past year. Primarily due to advertisers complaining that their content was served next to controversial or offensive content in my opinion.
This is a direct way of drastically limiting the amount of content that they have to have a human manually review.
Unfortunately I am one of these small time Youtube content producers that will be effected.
The paul incident, i believe, compounded the problem. Really it heightened the negative media perception of youtube but they were already planning this second wave. Take a look at who is on the youtube censor boards, the activists against "hate speech" in gamergate are the main gatekeepers of the platfrom now. Providing policy changes which effect the platform.
Fvk Logan Paul. The amount of time people spend watching mind-numbing videos like his boggles my mind. This is why human society is gonna get overtaken by bots. We're becoming mindless consumption machines that provide no value to the universe.
Technically, microinfluencers are the shit now. All marketers want micro influencers now anyway, not huge wales like Jake Paul so you got that going for you
These changes by Youtube have probably been the works for at least six months and the Logan Paul incident has given them a great excuse to release the changes now. I saw a news video on Youtube by Tim Poole who believes that if you include all of details needed it will remove about 95% of channels from the partner program.
These changes are basically the end of new channels entering Youtube and earning themselves just a few dollars.
What did he do?
Cg
He posted a video about finding a dead body in a Japanese forest...a forest known for suicides. He claimed it was suicide prevention but that was total BS and YT removed the video and him from their preferred list or what ever. I'm not sure if that is what YT is doing what their doing though. One person mentioned it was to get rid of new channels coming in and steeling their content and making BS videos for money with it. Who knows.
At the start of the year, he went to the suicide woods in Japan and filmed a dead body of a man who killed himself and uploaded it to YouTube. People say he was poking fun at the victim. A lot of people were pissed YouTube demonetizes their videos but allow this BS
It is interesting how much people still watch peoples videos just for pure shock value. Just watching is supporting. It would be far better if the community just didn't view content like his, rather than having youtube make changes that hurt other users.
The irony is that somebody uploaded that video to DTube and is raking in the money. It was over $300 last time I checked.
For real? That is so messed up :/
d tube is best fasr better than you tube but as of now more user are on youtube
