It’s looking away out of embarrassment.

I’m not going to say a 14 year old and an 18 year old is ok, because it’s not, but context matters. If they were continually treated like peers (maybe one a year ahead in school and one a year behind) by adults who knew they were in some kind of dating relationship that everyone was ok with until they had sex, it was…

I don’t like sex offenders any more than the next person, but I think it’s pretty dangerous to make their lives so damned unlivable that the ones who want to be rehabilitated lose any motivation to stay on the right path.

Technically they’ve got “froot” right there in the name.

I get what you are saying, but I usually counter when people make that argument, “Not wanting to have a kid is not good birth control. Birth control is good birth control.” I know what you meant, but personal pet peeve.

Crazy, isn’t it? Almost like teaching kids how to drive makes more sense than a parent saying saying “I know you really want to go somewhere, but I’d prefer you ignore those keys on the table and the car sitting in the driveway and wait until you’re married before we talk about safe driving.”

I wouldn’t be surprised if the kid(s) said something but the relevant adults just didn’t listen.

You’re assuming this is done in a way that makes even a tiny a modicum of sense, but its not. If an advertiser complains they don’t remove that advertiser’s ads from the video they remove all ads. So even advertisers don’t really get a say in this. If Apple dislikes a video then Microsoft won’t be able to advertise on…

Youtube is going about this all wrong. They should establish different tiers for advertisers, based on content. Some will want to stick to kid friendly rules. Others would be fine advertising on less restricted fare, reaching a larger audience. And of course a few would be OK advertising on anything out there. This…

Honestly, a lot of these issues could be solved if YouTube as just a bit more mature as a platform, and had a system (like you see on TV!) where contnet was “cautioned” and advertisers could choose where their content was displayed.

You’re right, it is a fantastic teaching mechanism.

Yep. In 2nd grade I was punished with humiliation for having a messy desk and having messy handwriting. Not only was my messy desk dumped out in front of the whole class on a few occasions, so everyone could gawk at my lack of organization, but on one occasion my desk was also put in the corner and I wasn’t allowed to…

“They aren’t censoring you.”

So does this mean that Flat Earthers, Hollow Earthers, Conspiracy propagators, and hate filled conservative sites will not be generating revenue anymore?

When they deem a video is not advertiser friendly, do they really not stick ads in it or do viewers still have to watch ads but the creators just don’t get paid for them? Given the choice of f-bombs or ads, I know what I’ll be searching for.

You are a dumb ass. What part of running a video channel and producing content for millions of people multiple times a week is not an ‘actual job’?

YouTubers sometimes work a full 40 hour+ schedule to create content for viewers. Yes, it’s a free platform (with a paid section if you want to be exact), but that doesn’t mean that people who create content for masses isn’t a real job.

Knew it wouldn’t take long before someone dropped the “actual job” comment...

And it also provides an unobstructed pathway to clear your farts. Big plus...not so much for those seated around you, though.
