I don’t know - have people stopped misconstruing a perfectly benign quote and pretending in bad faith that it’s antisemitic yet?

I have to say that he is intentionally being obtuse.

Unregulated? YT is trying to regulate their videos every single day. If you haven’t noticed, YT has a massive regulation on what you can and cannot do/put up on their website. Those are rules and regulations, and I cannot understand how you miss that.

TV has a lot of stuff that’s not for kids, so does the library. Should I stop him from watching TV and going to the library?

You don’t think a child would like to watch trick basketball shots? I don’t think you know enough about this to be talkin about it

2 - Parents, stop letting youtube babysit your kids and expecting nothing weird to be shown to them. Youtube is not the disney channel.

Youtube is not a website for kids programming.

At this point I assume you’re just being obtuse on purpose, but sure, let’s do one more. You’ve heard of algorithms, right? It’s not like somebody would have to pick an ad to go with each individual video. In theory, youtube already uses algorithms to match ads to videos based on the expected audience. I’m sure it coul…

Yes, that’s exactly what everyone here is saying. The fact that youtube doesn’t already do the minimal amount of work it would take to better align its advertising with the content it accompanies, like every single other media outlet does, is dumb, and now that it has become a major media outlet and entered the…

This take is akin to saying that because there is programming on television that is inappropriate for kids you shouldn’t watch any TV with your kid, or that it would be reasonable to expect trailers for R-rated horror films to air during otherwise G-rated shows. The commenter specifically said he isn’t just plopping…

What do you define as “a kids thing”? Animated cartoons for 1-3 year olds? Sure.

Well I can tell you from personal experience that I do not let youtube babysit my kids. But when my son and I just want to watch Dude Perfect and they serve up an ad for Annebelle before it that totally freaks him out, then I’d say this is youtube at fault.

I seriously can’t tell if this article is satire. The woman “Danielle” sounds like a complete narcissist who absolutely refuses to accept a sincere apology multiple times, climbs leaps and bounds above the chain of command to the CEO of the company, gets a month paid leave, and comes back expecting what exactly? Did…

I feel no pity for this woman. Not once in the chat log was there anything alluding to rape, just the song. The rape portion of the song wasn’t even what they were joking about. The guy apologized MULTIPLE times, and yet she still felt the need to email Tim Cook (who by the way won’t read this petty crap anyways…

So the guy apologizes multiple times for the joke and she keeps escalating it? I wouldn’t make a joke like that at work because it isn’t appropriate, but if someone apologizes while stating they will not do it again; it should be over right then. No need to escalate it right to the CEO without going through your…

North Carolina threatens to retaliate by requiring businesses to pay for labor.

This isn’t a ‘secret illness’...she was visibly sick to the point where she had to be carried into the van. If it’s stress related, do you think things will get more or less stressful for her when she’s president? If it’s emotional thinking about something that happened 15 years ago, what happens when it’s live?

I’m not running for president, nor did I ever say it was brave. You don’t think Hillary will ever have to travel somewhere where it’s warmer than 80 degrees? There are hundreds of people at that event. Only Hillary succumbed to the ‘heat.’ How do you explain that all those other people were fine? Something is wrong.…

It was 75 according to forecasts, and anything under 90 is mild. I wear a suit in Houston every weekday, so I don’t want to hear about mid 70s and humidity and wearing clothes.

Everyone here likes to make fun of Breitbart for being an echo chamber, but it’s really the same at Jezebel.
