So J and I are back from vacation! We had a great time spending a week in Las Vegas, maybe we'll make a video talking about that soon. But in our absence, it seems youtube has created another policy change that may just come to affect all Youtubers eventually, and that change is the Youtube Heroes program. So basically, Youtube will be introducing a program that rewards users for curating disagreeable comments and videos, by giving them the ability to flag and mark those comments/videos for removal. As you continue to flag content, you build up points that will will eventually grant you access to great controls, like the ability to mass flag tons of videos and even entire channels. Oh, and you'll also be granted direct access to Youtube staff, great. Can you imagine that? Giving that sort of power to random Youtube commenters? Literally incentivizing Youtube chat of all places to flag content? to This is a bad idea. Get started with Youtube Heroes! https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7124236?hl=en Like my stuff?
