JonasYouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy
Snot FlickermanStop using youtube.
EDIT: A lot of people real fuckin triggered by this and looking for any excuse to keep using. Fucking addicts.
warmWhat else has such a catalog? Going to be hard to persuade creators to host their own content with ads and subscriptions.
Maybe people could read more?
Nobody needs this endless “content” slop.
For real people need to get a grip if they can’t survive without it. They’re addicted.
totally agree with reading more. text is easy to consume, easy to store, (somewhat) easy to verify (if sources are provided), and it keeps (if using dead trees for storage). ever since the pandemic i started reading more and must say i really like it
Hell yeah. Let’s hear it for the readers. Let’s hear it for footnotes. Let’s hear it for references. Let’s hear it for bibliographies. Let’s hear it for the more in depth ideas that can be explored via text than video or audio.
What do you think keeps something deep being in the form of audio? I get that videos aren’t great for research but audio can just be written word spoken so that people that can’t read or don’t enjoy reading can experience it. I read more than pretty much anyone that I know in my age range and I don’t see myself as superior because of it and doing some comes across as frankly pomous and self important.
UlrichSome content lends itself well to written format. Lots of content does not.
absolutely agree. i just wanted to point out that not everything has to be a video
ddittyMaybe people could read more?
Hell yeah I love audiobooks /s
southsamuraiHorse shit.
Reading vs TV was a tired debate in the eighties. YouTube is no different than tv. Hell, in some ways, because it isn’t all controlled by oligarchs entirely, I would argue that it’s easier to find good things on YouTube than it ever was on broadcast or cable tv.
Also, ablist much? How about the blind and dyslexic? Are they fucked just because you don’t like that format?
Yeah, fuck YouTube as a platform, and fuck Google/alphabet, but don’t pretend to be the arbiter of entertainment.
How about the blind and dyslexic
Last I checked braille exists and so do tools for dyslexic readers. There are literally braille terminals for the blind. Hell, the first time I saw one was in the film Sneakers in 1992.
It’s actually very easily argued that the push to touch-screen and video everything is what is actually ableist and making braille be used far less because companies are more worried about what’s cheap than what is actually useful.
Braille displays for the Blind
Our electronic braille displays include text-to-speech (except for the Mantis), bringing you closer to a hybrid notetaker feel. Specifically designed for people who are blind and living with a visual impairment, our 20 and 40-cell refreshable braille displays allows for pairing screen readers and smartphones or simply use as a standalone device.
Don’t be disingenuous.
Yeah, that’s some projection. You weren’t being disingenuous to pretend that videos are more helpful to the blind than braille? Get a grip.
We’re talking about a company that is happily trampling over the rights of individuals right now, you don’t think the disabled won’t be next on their chopping block?
There's an incredible amount of educational and fun content on YouTube, just because you watch slop and it's associated recommendations, doesn't mean I or others do.
Try again to make yourself feel okay about heavily using a service that is happily allowing hate speech against gender identity. I don’t have any subscriptions and I rarely watch youtube because I can fucking read. Man, this would be funny if it wasn’t so sad and indicative of how broken people’s brains are by this shit.
You do you, if you want to read go ahead. You are just entirely missing the point and just assuming we all consume media in a way you preconceived in your "unbroken" brain.
just because you watch slop and it’s associated recommendations

Try harder to not be a fucking hypocrite, dude.
Hmm yes I’ll just read about how cool two bullets hitting each other in slowmotion looks. Much better experience than watching it /s
