That's why you don't just assume and gamble.
Right wingers literally build entire platforms to lift each other up and report/bitch en masse when anyone does this to one of theirs up to and including making millionaires our of people meanwhile, the alternate side…
Lectures Bring each other down Endless “i told you so”s Offer alternatives they themselves do not back monetarily
Then you wonder why the fuck no one buys into this bullshit.
It's not only "right wingers" that do this, as you very well know. You're on Lemmy, for the love of God.
So... why do you leave the lefties out of this, and pretend it's a "right" thing?
I know why...
Sure bro, we're brigading and review bombing all the time here in between our jobs at the Cancel Factory.
Moron, lmao.
Would you be just as outraged if someone started running an online business via their lemmy.ca profile and then their account was closed for spamming (or breaking some other part of the TOS)?
Alphabet is not a good entity. They took what was Google and YouTube, and just crushed them into the same corporate hellscape that is every big business, BUT Alphabet does not force anyone to base their career on their platform. If you choose to use their platform you are subject to their rules whether you know what they are or agree with them. Like moving to the UAE for a high paying job, if you break the local, ridiculous and arbitrary laws, you are going to loose your job and maybe land your ass in jail.
Alphabet didn't "take" Google and YouTube. There was no takeover or purchase. Alphabet was created as an umbrella over Google's sprawling business empire.
Metaphorically "took" Google. There was an existing Don't Be Evil business and it was taken and reshaped into a Be Very Evil business.
The game itself has an ESRB rating of Mature 17+ which should be enough of an indication that the video should have been age-restricted, the fact that he had to add his own censor bars means he was fully aware that the video was not appropriate for general consumption.
YouTube does not specifically state that censored nudity should immediately qualify a video for age-restriction but the several pages^[1][2]^ of guidelines heavily suggests that you should err on the side of caution.
Guy was greedy, he didn't want to miss out on the ad revenue. When you have tied your livelihood to an account/service that uses automated checks and moderation, it is extremely irresponsible to push the boundaries, or even test them gently. YouTube is not YOUR job, you work for them, they own the platform, they set the rules.
