Oh... Oh dear lord. Hey everybody, welcome a new brilliant feature that is not going to get abused in any way possible. Seriously, watch the whole video. It just keeps escalating.

"Just-a you remember, that you keep paying that protection money, and Mr. Google don't have-ta find out about this,"

This is going to end badly. I just know it.

Does anyone else have a vision that this will be used by trolls to flag everything they see that they don't like?
This has to be because children are so easily triggered in college. Yes, I do mean people who are 17-19 as children since they can handle their shit.
I do think Vimeo seems like it has the most potential to take over now.

My roommate and Coworker just had a meeting last night for this year's recording season and got the whole format figured out. Then I see this crap.
Our new plan? Record one more video for youtube that breaks all of the terms that are now being forced as a way to say we quit youtube. (Wearing nothing but a towel, loads of swearing, talking crap about the presidential election, everything we can think of)
Yes they can do whatever they want, but they are digging their own hole.

Since this is a Youtube Thread, i'm just going to react with a youtube video:

The worst part is, the more you make claims the more points you get. They aren't just making this a thing, they are enforcing it and giving people incentive to use it even more just to get to that other level.

That one reward tier is hilarious, though: a channel through which to speak with real YouTube people. That's something about 90% of even the more popular tubers don't get. So all these years making the company money and keeping their site floating they are getting a big middle finger and all the trolls that have made the site such a cesspool of racism and hate are getting a pat on the back and a lollipop to suck on.

How soon until people begin to rip up this new policy into pieces with rant videos on how its a bad idea?

Those popped up sooner than you (or I) could have expected, that's for sure.

Yeah, its been happening since it was announced.

Its now officially a mad house on whoever is working for youtube to approve such a stupid choice like this. I'm skeptical about uploading ANYTHING on there now.

As much as I'm annoyed at this whole affair, I still have an irresistible urge to slap YouTubers who insist on putting their ugly mugs pulling a face on the video thumbnail.

Congratulations, YouTube. You've somehow managed to tarnish your reputation with censorship even further.

Off topic from what you guys are talking about, but I wish there was a way to help filter out some of the more disturbing videos that can pop up in suggestions.

After watching a video of a pug eating a butterfly I do not need to see a kid with some butterfly disease who has skin so delicate it comes off at the slightest touch. The thumbnail showed him with these awful sores.
