Hi guys, welcome back to another H3 video
um, I just made a video two days ago thanking Youtube
and I'd just like to know why do they love making a fool of me
ok, just two days ago!
and now I'm here back criticizing Youtube
Can you guys just fucking give me a break?
Why you always trying to make a fool of me?
So many of you guys probably have heard but if you haven't, what's happening lately
is that YouTube has gone on a demonetization streak
on many of your favourite youtubers
saying that their videos weren't advertiser friendly
and therefore they're being demonetized
and there's a lot of confusion around it
because Youtube, as always, doesn't explain a single fucking thing that they're doing
and, just, they love creating a shitstorm by the sound of it
someone at Youtube's just fucking jerkin off over all this confusion and mania
they just get off on it because they never explain anything
and this happens every single fucking time.
So what I want to do in this video is try to illuminate my understanding of what's happening
and kind of explain what's going on.
So of our channel, you'd expect us to get fucked the hardest because we talk about raunchy shit
I use foul language and I talk about terrible things regularly
but not one of our videos got demonetized
and here I want to start by giving you this anecdote:
Two years ago, we'd made a reaction video to Prank Invasion
and, um, it was one of these like surprise blowjob prank invasion videos
so we tagged it with 'blowjob' and 'sexy' and *kissing noises* kissing prank and all this stupid shit
thinking, it's like "Oh, all these horny kids are going to get shown our video"
but what actually happened is that the video made like one tenth of what it would usually make
so we made, like, no money on a million views or something
and we're like "yo what the fuck's goin on here?"
it wasn't age restricted, we didn't get notified about anything, it was just making like no money
and we're like "what the fuck's happening?"
so we emailed Youtube, we talked to our network, we followed up on it for like months and months and months
until we got an answer from somebody at Youtube and this was like two years ago
when our channel was relatively, a lot smaller
and they said that, basically, the tags had fucked it up
cuz when you tag stuff like "blowjob" or "sex" or "drugs" or "suicide" or "murder"
anything like that's just a little dark or a little edgy
they will, uh... you as an advertiser, you have to opt into this kind of "blacklisted" thing
so what happened was that our video got moved to this kinda "blackmarket" for advertisers
where they would have to opt in and say "I'm okay with advertising on videos about rape"
and obviously nobody clicks that, right.
so we ended up getting almost no revenue on that video
and we learned a lesson back then
that never to tag anything, even remotely controversial
because you won't make money on it, right.
so,
that contributes to why I think we don't even have one single video demonetized
and if you look at, for example, the people who have been hit by this,
who, in my opinion, don't deserve it, who are wonderful people that I love
and shame on you Youtube for not explaining this
but if you look at Boogie, he got dinged for this video called Please Hold On.
where he makes a really endearing video about supported people with suicide
which is great, but here if you look at the tags it's
"suicide, suicidal thoughts, how to die, death, dying, killing yourself, kill yourself" stuff like that.
"jew", I don't know why "jew" is in there Boogie
that's kinda strange, "jew", hm okay
anyway
You can see why they would read these tags and be like "This isn't advertiser friendly."
If it was me, you just, you can't put that shit, you just can't tag that.
Then, another one here, with Philip DeFranco
The one that he, he made a video about saying "Why did my video get demonetized?"
God bless you, it shouldn't have been monetized
I love what you do Philip DeFranco but you tagged "rape" on it.
So that's why it got demonetized, you put "rape"
and you can test this, if you just upload a video that says "Hey, rape, rape kills, sex, guns"
It's gonna get dinged.
What I think is happening is they have a bot that automatically dings videos with metadata
that includes tags, titles, description. They automatically just ding ya.
They have this 'shoot first, ask questions second'.
But the crazy thing is, guys, is that I actually don't think anything's changed,
now they're just telling you that they fucked you up.
Before, they just wouldn't pay you at all and you wouldn't understand why all-of-a-sudden you were making 10% of what you were supposed to be
And then there's another one here, LewReviews, he made a video how he got fucked up
and the title was, "Never Before Seen Drug"
"Drug" in the title, you're gonna get dinged guys.
So, just know, I'm 99% sure that this is what's happening
So this is like a Public Service Announcement to my peers and friends on Youtube
and an explanation to those in the community
that just don't use controversial tags, titles, or anything in the description
because they'll getcha
and I support what you guys are doing, I love what you're doing
and Youtube, I just made a video saying "Thank you"
why do ya gotta make a fool of me, dude, I just went out on a limb sayin
"Hey, we're always talking shit on Youtube and now, ya know, let's say thanks"
Come on, two days later you're gonna do this shit dude??
Give a guy a fucking break! Why're you trying to make me look like an idiot?
Anyway guys, we appreciate you, we love you
and most definitely will be tagging all kinds of rapey ass shit in our titles
comin up in the future, it's gonna be crazy.
