I just wish advertisers weren't such big chicken shits for their product being seen next to a M rated game. This is isn't cable tv. It's the internet. Where people who want that mature content seek it out. We're not gonna look down on Lay's potato chips cause their ad played before a Destiny or Resident Evil video.
Maybe I'm just unaware of the difficulties in logistics involved in this stuff, but I still don't see why they don't just make a 2nd (or several) category of advertizing from advertizers that are more okay with a higher level of... intensity(?, whatever you want to call it), or even one for just gaming specifically. The idea HAD to have been brought to the table, so I'm rather curious why they didn't go that route.
On the bright side (maybe?), does this mean all us the freeloaders won't have to sit through as many ads on youtube since they're apparently staying gone from "violent" games?
The blazing saddles clip was wonderful, 5/7
I'd like to know how much of that $4.99 gets passed on to the creators. With all of the add garbage that they've been putting creators through, I want to make sure that all of my support is going to the creator. Google can get their add sense from my cold dead, advertized-to-eyes.
Further, if I'm reading their Terms of Service correctly, YouTube is going to own each and everyone of those "custom emoji" that these creators make. They only return the "limited license" back to the creator when it comes to video content (assuming the created takes their video down).
At some point we have to stop associating ads with content creation unless they are sponsoring a video directly. For the most part advertisers are simply buying chunks of time on a media that is consumed by millions on a daily basis in hopes of selling their product. It's not always an endorsement of the content of the video it's seen on.
I mean did they not watch any YouTube videos before they decided to advertise on it? That sounds ridiculous. They had to have known that their videos would eventually appear on something that somebody didn't like. Advertisers need to be held to some accountability in all of this too but nobody is talking about that.
