YouTube has rolled out new Community Guidelines that will ban videos that depict dangerous challenges and pranks. Examples of dangerous challenges and pranks include, setting yourself on fire, eating Tide Pods, driving blindfolded, shooting a loved one for views, home invasion pranks, drive-by shooting pranks, and pranks that cause children severe emotional distress. Content creators have 2 months to remove content that violates Community Guidelines without incurring a strike against the channel.
The examples we've given are not exhaustive and we evaluate all content against our Community Guidelines when making decisions for enforcement.
Part of me thinks that these challenges serve a vital service to our species.
All of me.
It's probably all of me that thinks that.
And anything that isn't woke liberalism.News in 5 years: Youtube bans everything except calm, non-confrontational, child-friendly content.
It's cool when the government exercises censorship through the willing tech companies AMIRITE? The ends justify the means especially when it involves subverting the constitution and being evil assholes.

Youtube bans challenges and dangerous pranks, yet continues to allow murders, violence and a ton of other heinous videos out there... fucking hypocrites.
Really? I am not sure what you mean by that. I have yet to see someone lining someone up and shooting them. I am sure youtube doesn't have a policy that says murders are allowed on youtube. Common!
People do dumb shit. Birdbox crap? Really? idiots shouldn't be given a platfrom to promote stupid shit. This world is going to shit as we we know it anywyas.
This should be an interesting roller coaster ride... I'm really just wondering how far they will go. For example:
"pranks that cause children severe emotional distress" I'm all for not giving a platform to people that would truly abuse kids, but what constitutes severe emotional distress? Do the Jimmy Kimmel christmas pranks count?
Cop shootings, gang fights, stonings in the middle east, stabbings, you name it and it's on YouTube by the tens of thousands.
The truth is this, yes there are dumb asses making a fool of themselves and putting themselves or someone else in harms way , but don't sit there and tell me YouTube is taking the correct approach when at its core, Youtube is as fucked up and demented as these individuals they're targeting.
Don't believe me? Search what I mentioned yourself.
Flagging this petty stuff(such as the birdbox challenge), then make an announcement about it, but never truly focus a campaign on the similar but truly more horrific content that is on their platform is comical.
Birdbox challenge? Ha, how about burned victims, or people getting brutally beaten by bats, kids fighting just to make views, beheading videos, cops screaming for help as they've been shot over and over again, soldiers stabbing prisoners to death and so much more.
Same shit happened when pewdiepie said one racist word or phrase(out of humor) out of the countless hours of videos he has, then YouTube makes it be known he is pending a ban because of it, yet no direct targeting of the true racist videos that are swarmimg on Youtube.
Political correctness is hilarious with these guys and the general public. As long as it stays out of the main headlines of the media, YouTube doesn't care. Fucking hypocrites.
No more Super Dave?
That's great until they actively unperson you, destroy your livelihood and conspire to to keep you from even building an alternative for yourself.
Keep telling yourself "It won't ever happen to ME!" until they come for you...
Maybe because those are different? Because those things happen regardless of Youtube, not BECAUSE of Youtube. You honestly think people would dump a bucket of ice cold water on the head if there wasn't a camera there to get evidence that they did it? You put a camera on people are they are more likely to do shit they wouldn't normally do, like fire a gun at someone who's wearing some phone books as body armor or whatever.Cop shootings, gang fights, stonings in the middle east, stabbings, you name it and it's on YouTube by the tens of thousands.
Challenges and pranks is pure dumba$$ fodder. But there is (or was) some very dangerous health advise on youtube. There was a case of a video about a body detox procedure that stared with drink a gallon of soy sauce. Soy sauce is mostly saltwater. A woman tried this; put her in the hospital, nearly killed her.
