if you are short tempered (like me) and you play a game where you rage a lot you will have to release your frustration somehow, if you are not angry fast you won't need to unless it's really bad. keep in mind: other people feel different things than you and have other needs

If you get this frustrated over a video game, you should see a mental health doctor for anger management.

That's extremely rude. Just because you and a handful of other people don't get mad sometimes doesn't mean everyone who does has anger issues. You must not play games a lot because if you hop into any online multiplayer game you will indefinitely find someone getting frustrated.

brostermediabut how else are we supposed to release or frustration? hurting ourselves by slamming the desk very hard?

Why do you even need to do that? I never swear and all is ok.

You all are just trying to be cool by swearing but it's not cool at all.

I think you guys are blowing this out of proportion a little. The rules are fine, and have good intent, but the implementation and enforcement of them are the issue here. YouTube just did a terrible, awful job of letting content creators know about these kinds of rules beforehand, and someone stumbled onto them accidentally.

Secondly, uh, no one's going to leave the site. For real? The loss for leaving YouTube, for the very large majority of users/posters, is vastly worse than the benefits gained (oh now I can add terrible unmentionable things back into my video titles, hooray). No one's going to move, and you'll likely see an upswing in usage of Vimeo and such for maybe... a week? It's not feasible to change platforms like that just based on a ToS change, that only has a chance to affect you (seeing as the strikes are fairly random at this point).

Settle down, and this'll work itself out eventually, like it always does. YouTube is reckless, but they're not stupid.

I'm waiting for GradeAUnderA to start a rant/petition.

Oh, art finds a way. Sites like Vimeo will become more popular, or perhaps a new site will arise for us artists to express our true talents. What the future holds, I cannot say. But even the greats must fall, so is it really all that surprising that YouTube has just initiated a downwards spiral?

Ugg! Now I can't show like half of the video games I own for lets plays.......

Just wait for YT to die out completely... Then some other company will be in business

As a Youtuber myself (small, but still), who's has 2 videos so far unmonetised, I strongly believe this was a horrible decision on Youtube's part. People were already angry for the whole copyright system that lays in shambles. (e.g. Some random with no affiliation to a video can flag your video down, which limits your channel in many ways) Adding these new rules, whether or not they be considered "censorship", is an extremely bad move, as it is seen in a very negative light at the moment. Even though these rules have only been out for a few days, it's already taken it's toll on many popular Youtube channels, driving negativity towards Youtube to a insane level.

Personally, I really disagree with these new policies wholeheartedly. It seems like it's turning the entire website into a kid's playground. Along with so many events and "controversial" topics that are now considered taboo by Youtube, they've now determined that swearing is an offence. If I owned a business, and was sponsoring a popular youtuber, I wouldn't really care whether or not they swear or talk about controversial topics, after all, whatever the youtuber is doing is obviously working considering they have a large following. Rather than youtube making the decision that a video is "unfit for monetization", it should be the businesses and sponsors, which can reach out to the content producer and ask them to cease the behaviour which they don't want to sponsor.
So many people have Youtube as their main source of income, The fact that the can unmonetise old videos for swearing is pretty rubbish too.
When you break it down, because a youtuber makes a certain sound/s, youtube has the ability to bring financial instability to a person by unmonetising videos.

So many people say that "youtube isn't a legitimate job", and well, they'd be wrong. It's more than just sitting down and talking over a game, or vlogging or whatever. You have to be smart about the way you market, and where and who you market it to. Youtubers can be classed as "entertainers", along with people like Sports stars, movie actors and things of that nature. While they may not be fit and athletic or stunning in looks and such, they have their own set of skills and perks, to entertain and bring laughter in a lot of cases to their audience.

Anywho, that's my rant for today, I'm gonna go edit a video.

I love this new terms of service, no more swearing! yay!

I can already see this backfiring and I can also see Scarce revealing himself from behind a tree saying 'screw youtube' and there being a meme of it.

I don't think it's bad, personally. Suure, it's restrictive, but it makes sense.

I think it makes absolutely no sense. I've already made my points, I don;t wanna write a paragraph again. xD

AnimeFanFTW

JosephpicaClearly nobody here is going to fully agree with anyone else, and arguing abiut it here is never going to change it, so continuing would be pointless.

But everyone here can agree the ToS is bad. Some say it's absolutely horrible, others just think its bad, but everyone is in some sort of agreement.

HippyKatI see the petitions writing themselves :^]

You can blame that on AnimeFanFTW.

Wut?

I don't think it's bad, personally. Suure, it's restrictive, but it makes sense.

I believe that someone's going to make a new platform for videos, or Dailymotion/Vimeo will take over, and YouTube will become the MySpace of video sharing websites.

ExohI also saw some jerks being persistent on watching a certain video no one wanted to watch.

Don't bother excluding my name next time, it really is hurtful, you know.

Alright, leafy's so dead..

ChickenMac7This is a terrible idea. Not only for the viewers but also from a company's standpoint. Channels that focus there content around making fun of others, like Leafy, will now be breaking the rules. Those channels will then be taken down and YouTube will lose millions of viewers. I'm not sure what YouTube's thought process is, but they need someone else making their decisions.

Also, how technical will they be? All humour is mocking another group, system, person etcetera, so will all comedic videos be taken down? This seems ridiculous and unnecessary, and harmful to the website. Poor decision.

People will only take so much before they move to an alternative.

I'm sensing YouTube's downfall.

ClassierHarpSomething else I forgot to say earlier, should YouTubers be paid in the first place?
Imo, it seems like most of them just do it for the cash, which I don't think is right.
I get the big fuss that's going on, but maybe YouTuber's income should only come from fan-donations?
I don't know, maybe I'm not seeing things right.
After all, they're not censoring, per say, just cutting off the revenue to videos they see appropriate.

I'm probably going to regret saying this...

I think they should. Uploading on a weekly or daily basis is difficult, and all the equipment can accumulate to a lot of money. If they don't get paid for this, how are they going to work a job and their YouTube career?

Put it this way; are you going to continue working your job if you don't get paid?

I agree.

Youtube has been in a steady downfall for a while down in my opinion. This is just putting another nail in the coffin.
