My thoughts on the august 13th YouTube update

Posted by AnimatedWorld - 7 days ago


(welcome to me crashing out)


this Ticks me off on so many levels, I say this as someone who’s on the younger side YouTube HAS a feature that already prevents children from seeing explicit content, IT’S CALLED RESTRICTED MODE they say this is to “protect teens and children” but in reality they want more control and to increase their own profit, I swear this mess started after steam was forced by collective shout and payment processors SOMEHOW banning games (reminder collective shout defended cuties) also If they really cared for children they’d BAN the uttp, corn bots, sexual ads and pedophiles

if this update passes I’ll probably barely post on YouTube ever again. SCREW NEAL MOHAN FOR RUING THIS PLATFORM, THIS IS ALSO AGAINST THE LAW DUE TO THIS BEING INVASION OF PRIVACY


Go sign the petition to stop the update RIGHT NOW: https://www.change.org/p/youtube-say-no-to-flawed-age-verifications?source_location=search


if this petition fails, The best thing we can do is sue YouTube for privacy invasion

I think a lot of big corporations misunderstand how smart AI is
It's really not smart at all because it's trained off of every random person on the internet and a lot of random people are not very smart
And yet AI is always treated like it's "the future of technology."
I think AI should be pulled back out of a lot of stuff and developed for a while to be way better before it's implemented in anything where it can affect a large number of people in a significant way.

Their age estimation model is stupid. From my understanding of how it was covered by media, in a scenario that you're an adult and you watch something like Minecraft or GTA, it's very likely that the AI used to detect it will ask you to verify your age again because the content is deemed and very sought after to a younger audience. Nobody wants this and I want this change reverted.
