What is really irritating is that a lot of educational channels (like "The Great War", a video series on WW1) are demonetized because they are about war, even though presented through an educational and historical lens.

@ogioblue 6 лет назад

Mads Stays Noided With that reasoning your saying you don't believe Funhaus or almost every RT affiliate/partner deserves to be monetized. The original commenter said nothing about those videos being made for the four year old demographic. He simply said they weren't getting money. You don't have to be four to enjoy educational content. As for the violent side of it, it's again not being made for that demographic. The violence isn't what they're focusing on, it's the history.

The thing that pisses me off the most about Elsagate is the fact that many people pointed this out nearly two years ago and RU-vid is only now taking action. I get that it is hard for a big company to be flexible, but it doesn't take over a year and a half to acknowledge or even address this, proven by the fact that as the second the MSM picked it up, RU-vid suddenly tried getting its shit together.

Why doesn’t RU-vid start a “Verified” system, where only channels who’ve been verified can have content available on RU-vid Kids? Channels can submit a form to be reviewed and verified by them, and if something is manually flagged, they lose their verification. It’s like the FCC’s broadcasting license program.

@bbill_cipherir8245 4 года назад

why does this not have more likes? A verified system sounds so much better than “RU-vid Kids”.

@jakesommer3914 6 лет назад

Regular RU-vid is already Adult RU-vid, seeing as how their is specifically a "RU-vid Kids". I don't know why Google is operating on the assumption that everyone who uses RU-vid is 10 years old; age-restricting shouldn't be nearly as aggressive, because, again, RU-vid already has a Kids' version. Why is content specifically not for kids being treated like tons of children are going to be watching it? Was this strategy created entirely out of a soft Swiss cheese?

@arcadius2569 6 лет назад

My sister has recently deleted RU-vid from all her devices because her kids were addicted to it. They would forego eating, drinking and going to the toilet to watch RU-vid. I had a red app on my phone and whenever they saw it they would interpret it to be RU-vid. They could wake up, turn on everything that needed turning on without instruction and go to RU-vid and they would just sit in front of the tv all day listening to creepy nursery rhymes that were computer generated voices. Some stuff on Kids has a lot of effort put into it, where there is real people and children on the screen doing activities and whatnot, but a lot of the million-view stuff was exploitative of children (children eating bagfuls of lollies, or unboxing toys, supposed to be reviews) or the computer made view farms that you guys have mentioned. This isn't just a case of; "oh, the new generation is more tech-savvy". It really isn't.

@PhantomKangaroo91 6 лет назад

It's interesting to bring up Adult Swim because it seems that they set up their content so that kids don't stumble into the deep end as it starts with "tamer" shows like King of the Hill or Family Guy (show's mom and dad watch) and then starts going deeper and deeper into more graphic content after midnight. They then seem to slowly recover so if a kid wakes up early Adult Swim is replaying the "tame" shows that mom and dad watch normally.

@noz7076 4 года назад

Yeah, I noticed that when their closing show is Bob's Burgers. Its the only show that shows little vulgar content and more "soft " just when little kids are tuning into cartoon network trying to watch Gumball before they head to school.

@CerealEnjoyer 6 лет назад

OverDose665 22 if you create a playlist of videos you've checked though and restrict everything else. You could even download a ton of safe videos for your kids to watch them put them on a tablet for them to watch through

@OverDose-kx7kx 6 лет назад

Weetos King The thing is it is easier to just get rid of the app. I have 3 kids of different ages and they all watch different things. I just don't want them to make someone rich watching videos that are not inventive, creative, or educational, and RU-vid puts that crap in no matter what I block or what controls I have on it. My kids school is having the same problem. All the kids have laptops, and RU-vid had to be block because the content can't be controlled

@arcadius2569 6 лет назад

I agree wholeheartedly. RU-vid can't fail at being a successful business and not take responsibility for it. You guys are the perfect example. A channel that is backed by an internet-based company that could offer RU-vid partnerships and things, and help them as a business, but instead are being ignored and pushed away.

If you're allowing your kids on RU-vid, you're a bad parent. There is a reason why to make an account on here, you have to be 13+ years of age. Same rules on Facebook and Twitter, apply to RU-vid. Want to use a table to replace your mediocre attempt at parenting? Fine. But you need to monitor their intake. This isn't like placing them in front of Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network on the TV, it's RU-vid, there's a theoretical endless supply of real fucked up shit on this site that aren't made for kids.

@Proxy-san 6 лет назад

@atra7xroxs 6 лет назад

@oldn00bster 6 лет назад

Lars, you've just became my favorite youtuber, seriously, I am not being ironic. From every podcast I consume you are the only one that is really focusing on this issue (elsagate) and none of you don't even have kids, from what I know at least :). Since you first raised the problem a few weeks back I've done my own research and realized how true this is and started REALLY monitoring and filtering what my 4 year old is watching on the tablet. So thanks for being just an awesome nerd Lars :-), and keep fighting the good fight.

@DexterDerpia 6 лет назад

As a parent of 2, my daughter used to watch RU-vid kids on her tablet all the time until we found out on the local news that there were sick freaks putting in subliminal messages into their skits (which consisted of Elsa, Joker, Spiderman, Hulk, etc doing weird shit). It's not that parents are just giving their kids tablets and fucking off to do something else. We genuinely care about our kids, and want them to be able to watch what entertains them. It's just the fact that sick people out there ruined that with their nasty messages they were putting in the videos. That's not a fault on parents but the sick creators.

@klassicneo 6 лет назад

This RU-vid addiction thing reminds me of that TED-ed video on addiction and how fast we consume content: (click video - watch video - repeat) and porn mags decades ago (just a few pages) vs internet porn videos today. It is waaaaay too easy for kids to sink into this and they'll NEVER stop, unlike us. Also, pitting machine learning algorithms against human creators with (evil) intention will not work. RU-vid Kids better start doing full on manual curation. 3-year-olds don't report inappropriate content.

@RobzdaBlade 6 лет назад

3 year olds don't even know what's inappropriate.

@davidmuzzall375 6 лет назад

@stumancool 6 лет назад

I am a parent, I have a three year old. I in NO WAY think I am the quintessential parent, I'm just considering every day he's alive at the end to be a win. That being said when other parents tell me they've had to watch Frozen or Cars or Peppa Pig ten million times I never understand that. Along with free will, kids also like structure and repetition. There's so much of the world they don't understand that when they find something they do, they want it over and over and over and over again. Much like you guys mentioned, there is a century of content I can show my kid, and at this moment how and what he watches is completely in my control. If a show comes on I don't like, we don't watch it. It sounds harsh, but he doesn't miss what he doesn't know about. I've even put on movies I watched as a kid, gotten 20 min in and realized that he might be too young and turned it off. Put on something else and life goes on. And because we've always treated his intake of content like this, he never really asks to watch the same thing multiple times. You guys touched on this and I just has to comment my support for it.

@jessebracho7308 6 лет назад

The biggest problem is the scale of it. One of the points they kept trying to make was that the videos need to be manually reviewed, that Google needs to hire more employees and provide a curated subsection of videos. RU-vid receives and successfully stores 300 hours of video content per MINUTE. 18000 hours of content would need to be watched and reviewed every hour. Google would need to hire a literal army of thousands of reviewers. This volume of incoming data is not a problem that netflix or cable television has to deal with and it's unfortunately a problem that brute force cannot fix. Anywho, thanks for the episode guys.

@AceSeptre 6 лет назад

I just want to add one thing to this. RU-vid is a HUGE company which is itself a subsidiary of an even larger company. Why is this important? Because the individual pieces of a corporation rarely move independently. Even with small companies there is very little overall independence of the individual pieces. RU-vid is likely very aware all the issues facing the platform, and they probably have a good plan to fix them. Executing on those plans however is a totally different thing altogether.

If you search for the freeform tag "Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics" on Archive of our Own, there's over 28,000 works, and that's just on Ao3, not including other sites like Livejournal, Fanfiction .net, and smaller fan sites. It's relatively obscure to anyone not in the know, but it's extremely popular in fan fiction circles and thousands of artists/writers embrace it in their fan works. It's super hard-netting because it is highly collaborative but really only exists online.

I have a question: Most of the time, I listen to Dude Soup using the podcast app that Apple provides. The last time I actually watched an episode they had a set. Why did they stop using it and why is the Google Trends home now?

Maybe a good idea for a parent to control the content of their toddlers is giving the toddlers the illusion of choice. Like laying out an assortment of movies the parents deem appropriate and letting the child choose out of those options. Just a suggestion.

As soon as I looked up that finger song I noticed a kid next to me on the train was watching it

Oh boy there goes Lawrence using #gamergate as a boogeyman again. A better non-gamergate related comparison would've been the manipulation of Microsoft's Tay ai by internet shitposters. I love you Lawrence but if I made a compilation of all your gamergate references across a wide swathe of videos it'd look a lot like the compilations of Alex Jones ranting about "the globalists", please just let the tired meme die, please.

Baneraze ...he didn’t invent the term elsagate. Or any other “gate”

@Baneraze 6 лет назад

devin pryor ??? My comment had nothing to do with Laurence coining any "gate", it was a plead for him to stop using the same controversy for the 300th time as a comparison when there are a variety of relevant and compelling comparisons he could easily use.

@Baneraze 6 лет назад

Star The Mighty One! Jesus Christ, you didn't watch the whole video before commenting did you? My comment was directed at Laurence bringing up gamergate again (around 50 minutes in), which he seems to do quite frequently. It has nothing to do with controversies being named with a "gate" suffix, my comment is about Laurence using that particular controversy as a reference point adnaseum. Go improve your reading comprehension skills you blithering sack of non-viable embriotic cells before you haughtily call other peoples comments "dumb shit".

Baneraze globalism is real and the gate reference is to watergate.

@Baneraze 6 лет назад

MantisVillainy do you people have a reading disability or something? When did I say globalism isn't real? Where am i questioning the use of a "gate" suffix when applied to a scandal? Or for that matter expressing a lack of understanding of the history of use of the "gate" suffix itself (ie watergate)? My contention is and has been the conspiratorial overuse of that gamergate crap by Laurence, my contention is only that it is overused by him and that there much more applicable scenarios and scandals to use in juxtaposition to the subject matters in which he uses it as a comparative context which is frankly just my opinion. Holy shit this is getting retarded.

Would like to see more global focused ads as you guys have convinced me to go buy two services only to find they're not available outside the US (I do understand that the majority of viewers are within the US, however, you are missing out on a portion of your viewers in the UK for example)

Would you guys consider playing Hollowed on the podcast? It's an indie game so I know it's a bit different than what you normally play, but it was made by my friend and his colleagues and is featured on Steam right now for 'Best Student Game'. Also, it's free so that's always a plus!

Bruce is fuckin entranced by that game after bitching about the sound lol

Honestly, the podcast started off on a weird note, talking about the Frozen Short playing before the Coco film, and I thought it was going to be a boring podcast about a subject not worth mentioning. But I love these people's ability to actually take something that might not be talk-worthy and shift it in a way that's actually interesting (I.E., Frozen Short > RU-vid algorithm > RU-vid Kids and monetization) and sines a spotlight ontp something important, mainly in terms of RU-vid but in this case important towards kids and the content they might see.

The idea I had was instead of trying to filter youtube kids with fancy algorithms that don't really work, they should just restrict uploading to a series of whitelisted sources. If the new system operates at too much of a loss just add a subscription fee to youtube kids.
