| 44539 | YouTube's nail in the coffin | <p>here's more details on what will be affected after COPPA takes over next year:<br /> <br /> people won't be able to comment on your videos</p> <p>you won't be able to put specific tags in your videos</p> <p>you'll be penalized for certain things in your videos even if you label what audience your videos are for. again, it's like babysitting.</p> | Benjanime | Dec 06, 2019 | |
| 44538 | YouTube's nail in the coffin | <p>On one hand, I kind of agree that Youtube is not a very stable platform when it comes to making money to begin with. I've always said that the income that comes out from Youtube is not a sustainable source, and it's something that could get taken away in a heartbeat. I've known this back in 2008, and we've been seeing before with the ad-pocylipse, and what looks like we're going to be seeing now with kid friendly content, as that's who's going to be hit the most. I'm kind of on the belief that the money being made on Youtube should kind of be used as more of a secondary source of income as opposed to the primary source. If you are going to make it a primary source, then I would be sure there's a backup plan in case this fails.</p> <p> </p> <p>But on the flipside of this, I also believe that a lot of the channels that is being kept alive is due to them being compensated for it. Yes, while Youtube is something that should be done as a hobby, and not to go straight into it expecting to make money, a lot of the channels that is still going today is primarily motivated due to the money they make on Youtube. Had it not been for that, we likely would have seen a lot of these big Youtubers fade away. There are some Youtube channels that I follow that I find to be very informative and enjoyable, and I don't think they'd be where they are had they not been compensated to keep going. It's a part of human nature: in order to keep going, you need to be compensated for it.</p> | blueluigi | Dec 06, 2019 | |
| 44537 | Forgotten Cartoons | <p>Little Archie. Well, not exactly like the comic series. They're more like 12 year-olds.</p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TQAk3O7o92E" width="560"></iframe></p> | Mr Magic | Dec 05, 2019 | |
| 44536 | YouTube's nail in the coffin | <p>I mean, if you still support the site, more power to you. but I'm not gonna pay a fine just for content that I have uploaded. my decision is final and i'm moving my videos. I won't stand for this nonsense. i joined youtube to upload content, not babysit.</p> | Benjanime | Dec 05, 2019 | |

| 44534 | YouTube's nail in the coffin | <p>While I sympathize with the struggle of the couple in your example, I think it also shows the folly of relying on this kind of thing to make a living. Making videos of yourself playing games and expecting that to put food on the table the rest of your life is foolish.</p> <p>Now, here you've said that the couple has suffered from the husband's injury and inability to work. That's why we have safety nets in place. Disability... welfare... food stamps... all kinds of assistance.</p> <p>In my mind, it was only a matter of time before this whole "get rich off of YouTube" thing came crashing to the ground. It's ridiculous to think that people have made millions of dollars off of filming themselves doing mundane things. That's not how life works, and it was bound to catch up with us eventually.</p> <p>Maybe it's just my Gen X mentality, but YouTube should be a hobby and nothing more. To go beyond that is to invite disaster. </p> | Vaporman87 | Dec 05, 2019 | |
| 44533 | YouTube's nail in the coffin | <p>because i haven't really been getting anywhere with my previous statements, i'd like to use this video as an example of how youtube is slowly destroying channels. this user in particular known as amber is also part of two different youtube channels, one for her husband, luke who focuses on doing gameplay videos on mature themed games as well as making comic book related discussions, and both her and her husband's kid friendly video gaming channel, kwings' let's plays. the video here belongs to her own channel, kwife's gaming life where she does her own personal let's plays as well as blog videos.</p> <p>now here's the dark turn that youtube had made for them. they've had to rely on the revenue they were making on their channels due to luke getting in a nasty car accident resulting in a pretty bad fracture that couldn't be healed and he could no longer work for money, and on top of that amber has to look after him daily. but because of youtube's bots cracking down on what content they're uploading they've gotten many false claims of their videos having inappropriate sounds or scenes leading to their channels to get demonetized and now they're just barely scraping up any income with patreon and twitch. notice the dark room that amber's in here because of this. she's even said on a past twitch stream that she broke into tears talking about this and how youtube has basically destroyed their career on the site and on top of it the two have had had to hide their depression with fake smiles during their video commentaries. i've supported these two ever since taking notice to their channels back in 2013 and it sucks seeing them getting dragged in the mud like this. the only thing that's keeping their channels afloat is game developers giving their only support with sending them review copies of new video games coming out, and that's it.</p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3h9p_w_LHhc" width="560"></iframe></p> | Benjanime | Dec 05, 2019 | |
