YouTube is shadow setting your videos
Dear, YouTube
And anyone who is saying ‘oh Coppa didn’t hit so hard, now it wasn't so bad.’
HERE:
I have sent my video to age restricted 18+ content as I do not intend my content to children.
video:
OK, screenshot seems odd, what’s up?
YouTube shadow set my video to baby content!
Every adult-teen oriented collector Youtuber should check their content to see if it’s the case too. Probably anyone who had a run-in with the bot.
Why are those videos showing up to the side of my video?? Ah and that is not ALLLL.
Ending cards - gone
Comments - turned off
Those are penalties under current Coppa rule. Here’s what YouTube has on there about age restricted videos:
Hmm... HMMMM... I am seeing nothing about baby videos being shuffled onto the side bar as recommended on a video that a Youtuber sets as 18+ content.
The video in my dashboard is showing as still 18+ by the way, not child friendly oriented:
SO MUCH FOR CONTENT CREATORS KNOW BEST ABOUT THEIR CONTENT AND THEIR AUDIENCE, AMIRIGHT?!
This is probably the case for every other video that YouTube bot thinks it for the kiddies. Set to 18+, but still shadow peddled to the babies and penalized accordingly to Coppa. They can’t even watch those videos, like what the fuck.
They changed the fact that you must allow ads to run on videos period. You no longer have a choice to keep your stuff ad free. Nobody is talking about that. I was only allowed to turn off interest based ads.
Gonna fiddle with the settings on the video and see if I can get it outside the kiddy zone.
As it stands now, I might pop in with some content on YouTube that is way too dull to be interpreted as for kids. Expect perhaps some Warframe and Destiny 2 stuff. Dunno if I even will do that as turns out YouTube can just shadow set content to whatever they see fit.
