Holy fuck, what a monstrosity. I had to turn off that insipid music and turn on schoenberg's second string quartet, part 3 (with the opera vocals), because I couldn't fucking stomach that crap. It's funny how they're supporting all community members to rat out other members of the community. Youtube has been trying to do garbage like this for so long and make the site "family friendly". They have this idea of a strict, clean youtube run by anita sarkeesian values. It really does make me fucking sick.

Wow, I thought I was a faggot.

WHO ARE YOU CALLING A FAGGOT YOU FAGGOT??? That must be what you are, because obviously the idea of someone being a faggot makes you really upset. Why else would it make you upset besides if you were secretly one yourself?

You're a weird dude

Cue the inevitable "but it's a private company" excuses.

It is.

nope

Yep.

So idk if I'm just not reacting right, or if I'm missing the point here, but why is this disliked? I assume because they're giving the people the right to moderate videos and dictate what does and doesn't go on?

It sounds like an attempt to fix their shitty service in the first place, but they seem to be going about it wrong.

Giving free agents the ability to decide what is and isn't acceptable for the website tends to give people Orwellian vibes, yeah. Their use of vague weasel words like "negative content" is scary, because the term is so ill-defined--anything can be considered negative content, depending on individual sensibilities, and it's maybe not the best idea to give these easily-offended people clout when it comes to content policing.

Personally, I don't think much of anything will come of this, but people are definitely right to be in their feelings over it.

I like how the thing this program is most susceptible to (bandwagoners arbitrarily shutting down things they don't like) is acknowledged very clearly by the video shutting off comments.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the moderating comment sections aspect. That's another scuzzy thing.
