Reddit has such a superiority complex and is so stupid. Remember that interview with the Reddit mod?

To be fair (although it doesn’t make things better), they were simply acting in mob mentality due to children being involved. Worst yet, I bet anyone who WANTED to disprove were shot down quickly out of fear of being labeled a pedo by the angry mob

RIGHT!?

You also can't enable subscription notifications for "children's content" either. Don't get it.

You can't add children's content to playlists either.

That's like the most annoying thing ever

From what I've heard, I think that's moreso an issue with Coppa. RU-vid restricts features on "children's content" because they want creators to lie and say that their content isn't made for children even if it is. That way they can still make ad revenue off of it. Basically: Coppa said "You guys can't make advertising revenue off of content labeled for kids because we don't want you collecting ad data on children.". So RU-vid is like "Okaaay we'll just try to force our content creators to lie then, so that way if a lawsuit happens, the individual creators who lied will be held responsible and we won't, and we can still make money." Basically the only way you're able to profit off of kids content now is to put yourself at risk of a Coppa violation.

If you go to Matt's video the comment section is almost entirely redditors and 37 year olds singing his praise and unironically saying we live in a society. It didnt matter how BS everything is, because when you're appealing to the dumbest of the dumb, you can do anything and make it seem like magic

His aim was most certainly not to target the corporation. It was to simply lie to gain a following. If he was just trying to make RU-vid lose money, I would commend him for that. But its not what he did

@@stmsin I can’t really say I support trying to tear down RU-vid either. Doing that hurts countless innocent creators just trying to earn a living while entertaining people and following their passions for video making. Not that I have any love for RU-vid the company or google, but RU-vid the platform is a different thing entirely.

@@OutlawPrince45 You are correct, there are countless other corporations to target for their business practice before RU-vid. Nestle and Disney come to mind

@@equidistanthoneyjoy7600 wetness is defined by containing, covering or soaked with water. water does not contain itself, it takes the shape of other things that contains it, therefore the thing that contains it would be wet and not water itself. water is not “soaked” with itself, and water does not cover itself. to put it simply, water makes things wet but is not wet itself.

If someone holds to misleading counter intuitive intents, maybe it’s to cause the fallacy of “impossible to figure out.” It’s called corporate espionage. It’s been done so many times on this platform for various reasons. Can be corporate, political, or just “for the lols” some people like to “create games” which are actually giant psychological operations where they themselves are the lone gun that causes hundreds, if not thousands of people to lose their mind. Think I’m kidding or making it up? I really wish I was. This simply enough is the evolution of the internet.

It’s no different than the snowflakes who fight racism so strongly then accidentally make fundamentally purely racist comments, or those endorsing autism awareness then making movies showing how uninformed and prejudiced they are about autism. Etc etc. but Imagine googling like ‘illegal murder that I shouldn’t watch’ then making a video complaining about how google is endorsing and condoning murder that you shouldn't watch, and articles being made and millions of people slacktivism -bombing google as murderers who make them watch murders

At least you’re self aware enough to admit it.

A new skirmish crate is now available.

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

No I swear I wasn't looking for videos of little girls. It's RU-vids fault for showing them to me

AlternateHistoryHub everything seems politically to me about this I just can’t tell why

I agree with you AlternateHistoryHub. IMO, I think he just got tired of the drama, and just got out of there, since he knew he wasn't getting anywhere. The part I don't get is why his streams were monetized but left when people were still willing to watch him? Maybe he was just mentally ill for all we know and wanted 4 things at the sametime. Honestly, I lack the creativity to come up with a theory of my own, but his actions just don't make sense, and maybe we are looking at it from an incorrect perspective. Maybe his plan, what ever it was, turned out to be badly thought out and fell flat. I don't know, I think I'm wrong myself, I'm just throwing ideas here and there, but one thing is for sure: He was not a good summeritan.

The disgruntled RU-vidr hypothesis doesn't make any sense, in my opinion. This was corporate, how the schedules all line up perfectly is way too suspicious. Watson's bizarre history on the platform doesn't disprove this hypothesis either, and in fact it helps obfuscate the agenda, anyone looking to hire someone for this kind of stunt wouldn't go for a blank slate. There is also the fact that the supposed exploitation was already being heavily discussed on several online forums prior to Watson's video, so there was a non-negligible and very loud swath of the Internet already very receptive to this message. Claiming that this was all about a disgruntled RU-vidr only makes sense superficially, and ignores a huge portion of the story. You can't Occam's Razor this one without setting aside important details.
