Hey everybody it's chaseypoo today, oh today's an exciting day, it's June. It's June and that can only mean
two things it's the summer and it's pride which means all of us on YouTube will be celebrated will be
talked about, YouTube will
really bring out and amplify their LGBT creators and we're all gonna live this happy family together
unfortunately
That's not gonna happen. And now I'm gonna talk to you about some stuff
I'm a little bit mad, quickly before getting in this video everyone say hi to Beauty, she's right there
she's taking a little nap
All right
so
previously
I made a video
talking about how my channel is at risk of being deleted because I got a strike on a video
that should have never gotten a strike on. My videos are being age restricted. They're being demonetized
they're being not advertiser friendly and I'm getting a strike because my content is LGBT related, especially trans related now
there are a lot of people who are like 'that's not true. That's a myth bla bla. That's not true'
Listen. The video I just posted a couple of days ago talking about five years post-op about how
amazing this experience has been for me was demonetized this second I put the word transgender in
I know some people won't believe me. So I did a little test
so I uploaded the video and at every step of the way I saved it and took a screenshot
so first, I uploaded it took a screenshot
then I added the thumbnail took a screenshot, then I added the title and then I added the word transgender
in the title. The second I added the word transgender it was automatically demonetized
this is not the first time this has happened to me
this has happened to me in the past. Also when I did a video about how I knew I was trans
I took a screenshot and that went all over Twitter again
so I've done multiple tests in proving that the word transgender on my channel has
demonetized my videos that it's a trigger where it triggers the algorithm being like no this
needs to be demonetized and people are like 'yeah it's because YouTube and Google they don't like
talking about sexuality. It's a conflicting topic.' Trans is not a sexuality. Anyways moving on
So I've been having a lot of issues about that
but I've got amazing amazing messages and amazing comments from all of you and someone brought
something to my attention so when I watch my own videos
I don't really get ads on them because I watch my like if I look at my own videos
I don't think I'm allowed to even get ads and press on them
So I don't think that's legal because I'm giving myself
ad revenue whatever
So somebody was like 'hey Chase did you know that this video ad plays before your video?' and I was like wait
what is this and the company was called The Alliance Defending Freedom now, I
I'm not in the United States I go to the United States a lot. I have a lot of friends in the Unites States
I know a lot about United States culture and politics
so anything to me that 'defends freedom' I associate with the right I associate
with like 'don't take our guns away, freedom of speech and all of like abortion is wrong and all of that stuff'
So I don't have a very good association. So I was like, okay, let me watch the video. What is this?
Could you believe that YouTube
literally has added and I know it's not YouTube like one person. That's like yes demonetized
yes, put transphobic video ads on some videos
I know that and I know that it's the algorithm and it's the bots and it's like the way that everything is coded
but you are allowing an anti LGBT ad, a very homophobic and transphobic company
advertise their message their conversion therapy their
horrible like mean messages on my
LGBT videos. So a lot of my videos are already demonetized and if they're not completely demonetised
and age-restricted, they're all limited to no ads, which means they're not advertiser friendly
but when that happens you sometimes get ads it's like here and there not always like there's
barely any ad revenue that happens from there like a dollar a month
but
there's some ads that still show up
Why is it that the only ads
that are showing up on my videos from all the screenshots that people have shown me people have
sent me screen recordings people have shown me the entire video are
homophobic and transphobic so I think it's a little rude and
hypocritical and like ironic a little bit that it's like YouTube is out here like oh my god
It's pride rainbow flag on the play button. Yay. Let's have fun. Let's have fun
we love our gay creators our LGBT look at us amplify the voices
And yet on the other side
you're advertising homophobic stuff on our videos that are already like limited
in ad anyways
which by the way means that people who are watching the video won't actually click on the ad which I think brings in a little
bit more ad revenue so it's like you're
I don't like this I get it YouTube is a corporation
we need to understand capitalist society that we live in they want to
make money but to the point where they're like spitting on their trans creators, so I'm not the only
Youtuber talking about this
I'm not like all of my videos are being demonetized pay attention to me. No other people have talked about this
I'll give you one example here Gaby. Okay, they say have you been seeing anti-gay ads before our videos?
Some viewers just alerted me to this and other Youtubers are having this problem, too
Alright other people have talked about this like Rowan Ellis and Stevie and a whole bunch of other people have been talking about this
Ok, if you go on Twitter, you'll see it's everywhere. People are taking screenshots screen recording screen caps sending the actual video
So what I did is I asked somebody can you send me a video?
Of the ad like because the it's like a YouTube channel. You can like look at their videos
I watch the video that plays before my video and I am appalled that YouTube would even say yes
We'll take your money if you advertise
yes do that and I get it like it's money, but YouTube really you're priding yourself on being diverse
what, once a month, are you kidding me?
and at this point like I swear to god it is now June and you're still gonna play those ads before my videos and
before other LGBT creators in short the video basically talks about how the Bible doesn't talk about
homosexuality because it only talks about heterosexuality which by default means that
homosexuality is wrong and heterosexuality is right because that's only talked about
Really? really and how a marriage is between a man and a woman like we're still here like literally what year we in like 1810
1940 what where are we? How are we 2018 and I get it freedom of speech people are allowed to have their
opinions people are allowed to have these videos play them on people's videos who are have similar things
play it on people who are anti-gay anti LGBT who are super homophobic and transphobic
why are you catering those ads to my viewers and as they're supposed to go with like it they look at
your browser history and then they like look at what you liked and it shows you ads
catering to what you like and Instagram does a great job at that. Yo, they send me ads for stuff
I'm like, oh my god
how do they know I want to buy this and I end up buying hundreds of dollars of things that I don't really need
but I want but Instagram they know, okay. It learns it knows. YouTube? Alright has been playing ads of
LGBT stuff on people's videos. It has been playing I've seen anti-abortion ads on my videos like in Canada
I've seen a horrible horrible videos and instead of showing videos that could actually be
meaningful for the community like I've seen ads for like prep and HIV prevention. I've seen like
ehm, making marriage equality real in the United States like even though I'm in Canada. I still get ads for
the United States
So it's it's it's there, the ads are there. It's not like you're like only homophobic people aren't giving us money
So we're only gonna show these ads. No, there are so many other ones like show me Coca Cola
I don't care, you know anything but
Anyways, I'm done. I can't I can't go through this again
I'm so scared that my channel is gonna get deleted because I'm trans
This has happened to other trans creators just because they are trans and their topics
were trans related their videos were completely deleted in their whole channel was deleted and my channel is my life
I just think that it's a little bit of BS that YouTube says that there is such an inclusive environment
For all of these creators and especially in June it's pride month. They put throw rainbows at you
they spit rainbows in your face, and it's so great
I usually love this month and I feel so proud to be a youtuber and I feel so loved
This year is different and maybe it's different for me because I'm finally seeing it but
I don't like that anti LGBT ads are being shown on my videos and other LGBT
creators and other creators who aren't even LGBT that maybe you're just more progressive and like maybe
just talking about like video games and stuff. I just I I
I don't like that YouTube
promotes
diversity and inclusion and then accepts money from people who are directly against what they are for
I don't think that that's right and
technically these anti LGBT
organizations are literally giving LGBT people their money, though
so
Not that I'm happy about that and I should just be happy that their ads are playing because I don't want people
to see these ads on my videos, but we are literally taking money from you. So thanks for that I guess.
Alright I probably missed a couple of things in this video, but check my Twitter
I'm tweeting a lot about this and retweeting other people who have experienced this if you have experienced this
on your channel or you've seen anti LGBT ads. Please comment below. I want to make a case. I want to build
a case I want to bring this to YouTube and explain look what this has happening
look what it's doing to people please fix this. Please fix your ad algorithm, please.
So please let me know in the comments below. Let me know on Twitter tweet me Instagram anything
Let's talk about this because I'm done not talking about this in being in the shoutouts. Let's discuss
Let's open up the conversation and change stuff on YouTube and actually be proud to be Youtubers who are
LGBT+ education channels and LGBT+ people on YouTube in June
Let's do let's be proud and not be like resentful and like mmm, you know. All right, let me know what you think
I'll see you later. Have a great day. Bye

even if you don't make videos and you just watch videos and you just sit at home, whatever you do today
you're great, and you deserve the world. I love you. Have a great day
