Unsurprisingly, YouTube did something dumb.

YouTube's inconsistent enforcement of their Community Guidelines strikes again on a Mega Man 2 video, leading to a wrongful age restriction.

Is YouTube in the wrong here?

mega man 2 is the embodiment of sex and nudity

I really like this style of video where you cover an issue and explain what's going on. You got really good retention outta me with this one. Had to drop a like halfway through bc I realized how invested I was in this story. Banger 🔥

I don't think they actually took the time to watch the video. Instead they had an AI watch it and determine it and then again had it reviewed again by the same AI. Thats why the second time it claimed it had nudity because the AI is not a person and doesn't actually know the difference between vulgarity and nudity...which is a problem.

they really treated my boy salt like that
-
ah.... sex and nudity.... because mega man is a robot and doesn't wear cloths...
-
Love you Danny boy 😘

wonder if the "sex and nudity" is something as small as a misclick from whoever reviewed it or if this is a decision that someone genuinely made. I think videos should be under peer review so its not just down to one person to make decisions like this, it should be 2 or 3, it'd make things more consistent for sure
-
Also I think it should be said, the age restriction doesn't only block minors, it blocks any user who's not logged in and even if you are logged in you may not be able to watch the video. I'm 29 and I have no access to age restricted videos because I refuse to give some very personal informations to youtube/google.

If your video gets age restricted because of language: 1. delete the video 2. censor the swears or mute the audio clips 3. re-upload the video 4. profit Almost all YouTube moderation is done by AI bot programs! Because the company doesn't have to pay computers money to do the job. Paying humans to do it takes profit out of the pockets of the company owners.

If you check the og video at 35:56, the only thing said is “fuck me dude, fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck…”. ARE. YOU. SERIOUS. This is what YouTube is putting their foot down for?

I think theres just stupid people working at youtube and age restricting youtubers for fun. youtube needs to check on there employees
-
They are very biased with this power. There are some videos that should be demonized for explicit things, but if they are big enough, YouTube will look the other way. Then, they will get the little guys. It's sad.

YouTube going on a power trip. Creepy as hell.
-
thanks for this information dant he-man

That oughta be a meme

Ok I just gotta call BS on it. I watched the segment that was reported and it was from a clip of the runner being excited or something for the times he's getting and exclaims, "F me, F F F." Geez it wasn't even from Salt... I implore all creators to push back on bs like this harder and consider supporting other options.

Youtube being ridiculously inconsistent with their policies? Shocker! 🙃
-
Its obvious Youtube has to react very carefully cus of the age lawsuit they got... which was ridiculous mind you, but now if you kinda gotta walk on eggshells until u have a good representative... which probably wont happen unless ur a big streamer.

Dann?? Summoning Salt?? Oh no-
