Sup, you beautiful bastards. Hope your having a fantastic Friday welcome back to the Friday show. For those of you who are new here Monday Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday
I put out videos where we talk about the news what's happening in the world and then Friday it's about the conversation. I go through the last week of videos, see what people are saying, and respond because having a back and forth is what this is all
about, that said there is one story that it's been requested
Over and over that really didn't fit into the shows this week that I wanted to address right at the top and [that] story was
about the update to the YouTube ad-pocalypse
For those who don't remember or didn't know, there are a lot [of] advertisers on YouTube that pulled their advertising?
This, because they found their content on videos
They were not happy about, ad revenue plummeted for many users a few bounced back
But it was still a pretty bad situation for a lot of people so in response to the situation YouTube said hey
We're going to fix it 1 we're going to have a tougher stance on hate speech 2. we are having broader Demonetization
policies and 3 we're going to strengthen advertiser controls
So that you can decide where your ads are, better. But after this there were still complaints from creators because ad revenue and
Demonetization was still a problem and content creators were concerned that the content was being smacked down because of these broader Demonetization
Policies. Well now YouTube, after all this time, has updated the situation on their official blog writing since March we've held thousands of productive
conversations with advertisers and implemented additional controls to restore advertiser
Confidence. As a result many advertisers have resumed their media campaigns on YouTube leading creator revenue to return to a better more stable state
We know that revenue fluctuations have been unsettling we recognize there is still more work to do
We know we have to improve our communications to you our creators
We also need to meet our commitment to our advertisers by ensuring their ads only appear against the content they think it's suitable for their
Brands. Here's an update and the first part Involves more details around advertiser Friendly Guidelines
Now we'll go into a few standouts and further explanations
but it ultimately no matter what with each thing it comes down to the part in the guidelines where they write, YouTube also reserves the
Right, at its discretion, to not show ads on videos and watch pages. So this is still guidelines and best practices one of the explanations
they expanded on: hateful content, a lot of people said well, what if the jokes or the content? It's supposed to be satire
It's comedy. Youtube writes, content that is satire or comedy may be exempt, however simply stating your comedic intent is not
Sufficient and that content may still not be eligible for advertising, for an appropriate [language]
I said am I going to get dinged because I say beautiful bastard they added, "occasional
use of profanity won't necessarily result in your video being ineligible for advertising, but context Matters harmful
Or dangerous acts, video-content that promotes harmful
Or dangerous acts that result in serious physical emotional or psychological
Injury is not eligible for advertising" some people have called this the daddy of five clause
Violence, this was one of the big ones we talked about a lot of things in the world sometimes violent things happen
And it's news. They've now added, "if you're showing violent content in a news,
educational, artistic, or documentary
Context that additional context is important" also if you're playing a video game they say, "violence in the normal course of video game play is Generally
acceptable for advertising
but montages where gratuitous violence is the focal point is not. Sexually suggestive content;
They've pointed out exceptions for non graphic sexual education videos and one of the most interesting ones to me, "inappropriate use of family entertainment
characters content that depicts family entertainment characters engaged in violent sexual
Vile, or inappropriate behavior, even if done for comedic or satirical purposes.
This is very obviously aimed at those
horrible videos that get millions of views where you have like characters from frozen and
Superheroes banging each other, shooting guns at each other, and just stuff you would think is generally creepy
And I'd have to say that as a dad who as a kid who watches youtube kids
I'm very glad they're going to be going after and
Demonetizing content like this and something else that made me happy about this is when I was talking to my sources at YouTube
They said you know we first became aware of it because the community spoke up when you have creators like ethan from H3H3
Talking about this it shows that while historically their reaction time not the best at least they are paying attention. Also if you're looking for
More information on what is okay and not okay as far as advertiser friendly content
They created a creators academy course, it's one of the cheesiest things in the world, for example when they're trying to inform you
What is okay for a thumbnail they said what's not okay?
Dead person in the thumbnail and a happy smoking baby which obviously leads to two very important questions one is the thumbnail
Okay
If the baby is not happy maybe it's an anti-smoking
And two is the thumbnail okay if the baby is happy but it's because he's vaping (dubstep plays)
Vape nation is repeated
in this they also explained that if you want to make sure your advertiser friendly or at the very least that you don't get
dingged, be careful of not only what you put in your thumbnail
but in your title your description
And your tags any of that information could get you ding another fantastic thing about the creator academy piece
is that there is a quiz for you on the bottom of the page to make sure you learned the
Situation question one Michelle actually wait. You know let's say let's say Pewdiepie because I need to use pewds
I need that thumbnail
I'm talking about him. Pewdiepie has created a video about a plane crash with graphic imagery from the crash site
What should he be aware of before
posting it? A: this video could be
Demonetized if he chooses to run ads on it. B: the video content should be in line with Youtube's policies so that it doesn't get taken
Down C: advertisers tend to shy away from videos that contain
Tragedy and conflict or d all of the above it's all of the above
I'm so smart. Also,
How can you tell us a video has been demonetized and he will be taken down from you to be and video manager you?
Will see a yellow icon it's it's b. I can just stop there. I've seen that little icon plenty enough. So there you have it
They've extended some of the policies. They've added certain new ones and ultimately
It'll be time that tells us if this is a good thing or a bad thing but with that said let's jump into the Tuesday show
Tuesday we talked about rehab for YouTube addiction
Racist Indy 500 remarks.
the Tiger Woods Dui
And the fight in Texas over Sb4
around the racist Indy 500 remarks
Simon hampus said what's the difference between an American holding a grudge against the Japanese for 72 years and a black man holding
A grudge against white people for 152 years except for the 80 that is the same stuff applies
It's not any white man living today's faults
What happened in the us before?
1865 Why
Differentiate well one I like to think that we should all strive to just treat each other based off of how we treat one another
And just who we are as real people
Not base it off of race or what people in the past who have the same?
Lineage as us did, right now that would be ideal. also to say that the slavery of black people in America
Is the same as the war we fought with Japan those don't really seem like equals to me
Now to you that might not be the case, but to me those are those are far different situations
And it's hard to explain in just one
Specific way because each each situation was multi-layered if you're talking about the enslavement of black people, then you could say yeah
Well there was a whole war where other white people fought to free them
Ya, but it wasn't like the slaves were free and then everything was just peachy keen also when you look to the [United] States
and Japan and World War two
It's not it's not as simple as you might just randomly remember a lot of bad shit went down on both sides
I don't know if we need to go into specific. Yeah pearl harbor we also have us dropping atomic bombs
Internment Camp Japanese internment Camps are one of those things in American history that often more often than not get swept under the rug
Also as Marisol Gonzales pointed out Terry is aware that about 33,000 Japanese-Americans served in the military during and immediately after world war two
Right? If he wants to be uncomfortable you should be uncomfortable about the internment camps thing
Yeah, it's just the situation's are very rarely black and white if you look at a person as they are part of a group
So it's like a race a gender
Anything people have the same race people of the same gender people are the same whatever they will do different things. Eighty years ago
150 Years ago however long ago that does not reflect the new person that exists today. Hey, that's my opinion
Maybe that makes sense to you
Maybe if you still you still think we do then on?
YouTube addiction Star City Mayor says to me the story doesn't sound like she has a Youtube addiction rather depression issues
And she just use youtube as a place to go when the depression problems just increased by doing nothing
But watching you - Jesse Martineau said seriously parents if you're scared of your kids scared to take away their devices or at
least limit their usage on those devices you aren't an adult parents are allowed to just say no for me this story villainized the
Internet and Youtube too much to point out that she used the internet to find out how many pills to take try to kill herself
she was irritable after watching YouTube videos or parents were like walking on Eggshells
I want to fill out a tack a parent
But it very much just seemed like this girl needed
Someone because she didn't really have anyone it even said that she started watching these youtube videos supposedly because she wanted to fit in with
A group of people that talked about Youtube videos that's where a parent does need to step in now
I don't know this individual circumstances talk about the parents arguing
I don't know if they were divorced maybe there was just there was just a bad
Energy people weren't connecting people weren't paying attention and miss things, but I think the moment you get scared of your child. That's a problem
I mean, I know that raising a toddler is going to be way different than raising a teenager
I'm personally a big believer of no Trey
You cant have the iPad all the time because this generation is going to need to be tech-savvy
It can actually if used properly can be a very good
Educational tool and give them access to it now the moment that I tell them to do something, [and] he's like no iPad
Oh, you better fucking believe. I'm taking that iPad away. That is where its a law in this house
That's how asterisk all rules are off when I'm on an airplane because I don't want to be the parent with a screaming kid
So that kid gets anything he wants for the duration of that flight soon as we get off that plane the law
But that's also because I'm going to be one of those asshole parents. be that no matter how successful
I am I'm going to make my kid get a job
I'm going to make my kid bust his ass because
There there there are lessons there and also you just learn good social skills and skills for life and let's get into the Wednesday shit
Wednesday we talked about the ridiculousness over at Evergreen State College Kathy Griffin and Tyler Shields photo
Shoot some other trump news and covfefe the evergreen State college situation Ali an responds Defranco
Maybe you should refrain from remarks such as how much kool-aid. You've had to drink when voicing your opinion
Disapproval of something the students of color are doing you make some valid points, but your subtle racism
Stereotyping takes away from that some of you thought I was joking when I said people were getting angry about this right there are people that saw
that as subtle racism drinking the Kool-aid as a reference to Jonestown a cult of people that believe so much in a
False message that they drank something and killed themselves they had so much blind faith that reality. What was right in front of them
They just they couldn't see then you Ali and people like you you take your own
Assumption that of course me as a white guy it was a white guy of course he's racist
That's what's coming out here, not a reference to something
I'm ignorant on Ali you disappoint on the Kathy Griffin trump. Beheaded pick it starsareofour are so far saying
I'm a liberal and I really did not like the photo
What bothered me more however were the people who were happy to lynch Obama freaked out over the griffin photo you can't pick and choose
What type of hate crime you're okay with okay?
So I 100% agree that if you were okay with the obama things
But you you're not okay with this fuck those people you're coming also feels, and maybe it's another point
You're getting across it feels like you're saying that people on the right who had a problem with this
Probably didn't have a problem with the obama kind of hate those assumptions because yes
There are people that fall into that category where they're like yeah, though, the fuck obama
But this this crosses the line what I saw when this came out were people from the left and the right saying it was wrong
when it happened with Obama and it's wrong when it's happening with trump if anything these moments of Kathy Griffin and Pepsi I
Feel like those things make us realize a well while everyone might have different on things there
There are some common threads
Jacob Burrell says the photoshoot thing is such bullshit fact that so many people are offended over art is
ridiculous still stands surprised due to previous statements regarding
Comedians in my eyes it is with art as it is with comedy so I get what you're saying
But this is a slightly different situation
You have a comedian as the subject of the photo and you have an artist and Tyler shields the photographer both of those careers it
is very common to try and find the line of where where it's too much and you try and push it and cross it and
Mess with you are dealing with a subject that dabbles very close to a class e felony
And that is threatening the president of the united states like I have the freedom to say fuck down Donald Trump
Fuck Barack Obama the moment
I say I'm going to fuck Donald trump and or Barack Obama to deaths that is a statement and not an explanation
Of the law like I'm doing now that would be illegal for the sake of conversation
let's say that this is more art than
Threat which I believe that it is I still stand by what I said yesterday
And that it is incredibly stupid you using your audience using your place in Society are promoting the image of the intolerant
liberal your not hitting him on the big broad mistakes
You are showing a bloodied severed head in reference to something
He said last year still ultimately showing the president dead in an ISISesk photo. He's free to do it
I don't get giddy thinking about ruining her career. You can't you can't be surprised the public reacted like this
I stand by it. It was a stupid move she's even acknowledged this although it could be argued she started acknowledging this one
She started losing gigs and this was kind of a move to
Excuse the accidental pun stop the bleeding then we have the Thursday show Thursday
We talk about the evergreen college students trying to get the videos of them remove the Oakland police child
Prostitutes scandal Portland train stabbing and trump dropping the United states out of the Paris agreement the evergreen college update Mike the liar
So the only way to get through to the students is to expel them see
How quickly they change your tone when they're kicked out their behavior is against many portions of the student conduct code
So the college is well within their right to expel them and here's the thing if you if you thought that the people that were
involved here
We're shouting that discrimination and racism because someone said what what brett?
Weinstein said the Faculty hires should be based off of skill rather than just diversity it was against a day where people of color
asked for white people to just not go to campus and I'd even know what the reaction would be to expel any of the
Students that were just getting in those teachers faces and scream
I also don't know if the president of the college sees what's happening in front of him in a statement
He said these are incredibly complex and sometimes emotional issues to navigate
We at Evergreen have the courage to try with tolerance and respect my believe is that we can succeed and continue to learn from each other
Excuse my language president bridges
But who the fuck in any of the videos was showing you any respect?
Ya know what you tortured I wanna know goddamn thing you have to say no you shut the fuck up
LeoLogicJr rights the students at the college should be celebrating unity and finding ways to improve equality in their education
It seems absurd that students don't take time to listen to their college president or professors without an efficient way to work out the issues
They may have it's really sad to see the world is becoming more divided" Leo what I would say is yes
I would love if there was a way to celebrate unity, but I don't want to dismiss the idea in general of protest
I don't want to dismiss the idea in general of what the day of absence originally was which was people of color taking that day
Going off of campus talking about race issues talking about how they can make things better
But there there's a difference between that and calling a teacher
racist and calling for someone to be fired because they think people should be hired because of their skills rather than the race and they
Don't see the difference, and why it is incredibly offensive to say hey white people if he could just not be on campus
We'd love that for it, and that's just where I'll leave that one
Kez 2009 wrote that extremists cunt no matter what side he was on was a terrorist right-wing terrorism and islamic
Terrorism are cancer full stop not all muslims are all far right-wingers beautifully put I can't really add anything to that
But to Moving froward who wrote a garbage person sure he's racist
but that would have been the end of it instead you get three dumb fucks white knighting most likely threatened him wouldn't be surprised if
They even shoved him unless he's assaulting someone stay the fuck out of otherwise you will dine you get no sympathy from me well to
Moving Froward and to people that have this same belief. I say go fuck yourself looking at this comment
I get a semi good idea of how pathetic and sad your life probably is part of me
And it's because I'm not a take the High Road, Er
Just a guy part of me hopes that if you're ever in a situation
Where you need help, no one helps you out?
And then maybe it's a story I cover on the show and we talk about you as a sympathetic figure even though now we know
You're a fucking asshole
I tell you to go kill yourself
But that would be incredibly inappropriate
And I have a feeling that you just living out your days would be a fine our greater punishment
