can't wait for the age of mass flagging. makes it easier for the trolls, that's for sure. ooh, and the direct threat to free speech with fantastic tools such as "duck you, i disagree with your video".

The main reason people are complaining about it is because this is one of the most powerful global corporations attempting to get free labour out of people when otherwise they'd be paying Indians with PhDs a dollar a day to do this sort of thing. The rest are complaining about the potential for the YT Gestapo to mobilize soon of course.

This may force some people off to Vimeo, however they have a no vidyagaem footage rule meaning that some sort of alternate arrangements will start popping up similar to what happened when gun owners decided to leave after their ad revenue was slashed and their channels deleted. I have a feeling Google may withdraw it or heavily neuter it before it goes live. Just look at those thumbs down.

those thumbs-downs didn't sway them from google+. it won't sway them from this. it's like the voting system here in the US - make it appear like the peoples' opinions on the matter are important to the corporate god, but in reality, the real decisions are made without their input at all.

google+ is still around much to the dismay of mostly everyone. it ducked up comments, it ducked up how accounts work, and it directly attacked privacy by asking for everyone's real name. that's something NSAbook has gotten away with.

this is a time where corporations will get away with whatever they want even if it's illegal. those thumbs-down will be laughed at by the old dinks that are in their own little bubble of reality. youtube is going to become more and more broken and google knows they can do it, too. they know they can do anything they want, even design something that flatout doesn't work. they're a monopoly. the only thing that will get to them is a real competitor. and that's not happening. ever.

(but on the topic of NSAbook, they want your real info just like google+ does. but they want it on an extreme level - they'll ask for an ID. that's illegal unless you are a grocery store, online store, cop, whatever.)

Yeah you're right. Google in particular rarely seem to go back on things, and the forced Google+ integration was only lessened a fairly long while after it was implemented.

Overall we're going to see a situation where the entire thing will be subject to abuse. In fact I just signed up and am waiting to be approved . We've already got situations where big players are telling their hundreds of subscribers to mass-flag videos of people they don't like, and this will just exacerbate it.

The difference with this is that this scheme may affect the hip pockets of the big players on there who essentially make money out of their videos. If this hits hard then we may see a situation where they simply give up and walk away entirely due to the slashing of ad revenue. Level-headed people aren't going to enter into a sweatshop scheme such as this meaning it will most likely consist of literal children which should work out nicely.

oh, it will definitely harm big channels or just any channel who makes money.

we've already seen a ton of people sick of google's nonsense. people like boogie (who i spelled boobie just then), critikal, channel awesome members, and probably a lot more. i keep seeing some h2. h3. something, and leafyishere. no ducking clue who they are but they've been voicing their concerns over corporate shit, too. google needs to know that if there was another option, these people would leave and that would harm them.

unfortunately, pewdiepie hasn't seemed to speak up. i'm sure we'd know about the most overrated youtuber speaking up. he's probably soul-bound to google's asshole. but, i imagine they'd listen to pewdiepie. he could threaten him leaving and they'd probably get a bit scared.

Is this Youtube conundrum even affecting our foreign friends here? I don't know if they get a different kind of Youtube than us, and maybe they have their own kind of problems about it.

as far as i know, google ducks the whole world nearly equally. sometimes videos are region locked for no reason.

as for china, they could either have their own version (with like, 2 propaganda videos), or none at all. i know china usually gets their own special version of something if it's deemed alright by their almighty thought police.

No, actually in Romania it's different. It's like a tax. Half of my family's taxes is because of youtube. We have to pay to be able to access it. But if we don't pay, some people in red come and cut off a finger of every family member. Life's tuff, man

BECAUSE ALL OF THOSE GREAT CHANNELS SUCH AS DRAMA ALERT, LEAFY IS HERE, RICE GUM, SCARCE AND THE REST OF THE TALENTED PEOPLE OUT THERE WILL GET CENSORED

Ok,seriously speaking, I'd love to see Keemstar's channel shut the DUCK down.

But yeah, the serious problem here is that, for example, if a feminazi doesn't like a person who posted a video, simply teling their OPINION on the subject, then the feminazi can simply delete it.

simply put, you won't be allowed to have your own opinions anymore because some butthurt idiot who lives in their mom's basement says so.

So it'll basically be how it's always been, except now they've made it public information and added a "point system" to the site, which will change nothing except make their rules slightly easier to exploit/abuse for the common person.

Problem is that people could "group together" and flag something that offends them or something that they dislike. Youtube is basically giving moderation to the userbase, and those people will prioritize their own likings and agendas and not uphold Youtubes policies. It really worries everyone!

That already happens though. Various influential people have in the past told their followers to all report certain videos of people they don't like. In that regard it will just get worse.
