Youtube has already one of the worst TOS regarding whats allowed and what not, they won't change that.

Saying "fuck" -> Demonetized

Making videos that consist only of animal cruelty -> Great

Thing is, they only moderate automatically, with bots. And it's easy to moderate away the word fuck. Not so easy to automatically moderate animal cruelty, if they avoid any trigger phrases.

Afaik you can say fuck as long as it isn't in the first 15 seconds and it isn't used to an extreme degree. Cunt however is an instant problem, at least according to one of the people I watch.

I think I would just make videos saying fuck Google all the time otherwise. :P

Top that off with the ads being for "Anti WIFI/5G EMF radiation stickers" so they covered all their conspiracy bases.

"Stupid people click ads". Not sure if that phrase is true

"'It's time for YouTube to step up...'"

Reform capitalism babes!!! The ad-based web just made a few oopsie daisies.

Instead of blocking roads, try blocking fuel companies headquarters. YouTube ain’t shit.
