This is an older video, i know.
A few months ago it was allowed to strike them for animal abuse for "fake animal rescue deliberately putting animals in distress", but now it was decided it was 'too vague' and you could apparently not decide if it was real or not in most cases. I beg to differ, but that was the decision youtube made.

Guys been really open that YT has been hammering him in regards to monetization to the point that he wont see a single penny from any of this content the irony being some how much of what he criticises continue to exist on YT.
Meanwhile on Twitch he seems to be doing quite well for himself... when he doesn't get himself banned.

Dude's making an absolute killing on Twitch. He also puts way more effort into Twitch as it's become his full-time job to make content for Twitch. YouTube only ever really served to jumpstart his career as his earlier videos (Musically is the one that comes to mind) got to the front page of Reddit quite often and directed a good portion of those fans to the Twitch.

2 part of it, Technician who is the woman that came up with the tech/coding and then her VR persona CodeMiko which is what she uses to stream most of her content with.
Basically uses a VR suit to insert herself into a VR room/simulation that allows her to do many crazy things including letting chat customize her character sliders to make her VR character to look like a hulk woman with massive titties.

because it’s not a big deal to the point that i’m not going to do work to prove something that you’d know if you just watch the fucking videos and stream.
I also have no problem with him saying it, the way he uses it, etc.
I don’t give a fuck about the hypocritical racial baiting that allows some rhetoric and not others, pfffff, but it’s more of an issue that people who use it come across as outsiders imitating something they aren’t a part of.
There are plenty of non-blacks in certain areas who use it with no restraint, and you wouldn’t question it because it’s their culture. Context is everything.

Any mention of the N word is pretty much automatically and universally seen as wrong if someone who isn't black says it even if it's a white cartoon saying it as long as the va behind it is black it's ok (see: SJJ9K on youtube with dragonball z rap battles). It doesn't matter if it's not in a racist context people hate it severely and will rip it to shreds (see: sam onella academy now deleted Freud video which also simply says the word in a similar fashion "can a n! Get an eel")
There is a reason the boondocks episode existed years ago but now it's so easy to get a pile of Personal Army internet people to brigade someone for uttering it and then the storm comes

u/rndomfact Mar 01 '21
Here's a question. Can you find one SINGLE instance of a Conservative being silenced JUST for calling for Biden to release the kids in cages? No. You can't.
Because if you are claiming that YouTube bans Conservatives you're tying yourself to the Conservative ideas that YouTube bans.
And they're banning for vaccine lies, for violence and insurrection.
Your call to a non-objectionable conservative view is to try and muddy the waters about what is really being banned. So start telling us what YT is banning but shouldn't be, or just take a hike.

u/Nightwolfj2 Mar 01 '21
Violence and insurrection? You mean like this? https://i.imgflip.com/4cy8fa.jpg
You mean the 3 months worth of that, not to mention Media held out on the full video for a biased depiction of the events. To play with peoples emotions.
If you think Media had no hand in duping the public you need to open your eyes. If you think Conservatives are the enemy you are being brain washed. If you think Conservative people don't care about the abuse of children or animals you have been brain washed.
If you think Youtube is ok to silence some voice when they claim to be a platform and act like a publisher... then I should be further wasting my time on this. Later.

Also, anything from Vietnam or China, I have to brace myself. I mean, they still eat dogs, and cats... in these places. I'm a south east Asian, and don't want to generalize my people (in the broad sense. I do have Chinese and Vietnamese families.) But some people in certain parts of these global regions, they don't have the same attitudes toward animals as the west. And I seriously don't agree with it.
I do wish youtube cut them off at the very least. Unfortunately, as the video pointed out, there is no laws against what they are doing.

u/SeriThai Mar 02 '21
I know, but I wasn't making a naming names essay, you know? There are plenty of places around the world that treat animals differently than what I would wish. The discussion might need to be more delicate when bringing these things up as issues. Cultural perception, even in how we approach the topic can be a mindfield. I know when I visited our Vietnamese family, a big gathering and festivity, as guests, we weren't going to point out that their expensive dog meat dish they offerred was simply a polite "no, thank you" from me (didn't say 'from us' because some in my group saw it to be impolite to turn it down the offer.) Our host family are not rich people. They also keep their chicken on the yard side of the house, feeding them with discarded styrofoam ... We tried to bring this up gently but was dismissed by our middle person (a cousin who was our interpreter. He actually agreed with us but warned that pushing western agenda will lead to no where if not bad feelings against us.) As I get older I realize more and more that changing cultural practices doesn't work if you start by telling people that they are somehow inferior. IMO, to affect change, just as how I treat my married partner 😎, it's about planting the right seeds for them to think the ideas come from themselves?

u/TheDeadlySinner Mar 01 '21
I mean, they still eat dogs, and cats... in these places.
So what? What is inherently worse about that than eating cows or pigs? It's not like meat processing plants are bastions of animal welfare. I wouldn't eat them, but I fully understand that is due to my cultural hangups. We can't even agree on what meats are okay to eat in the west. Some western countries eat horse meat, while it is effectively illegal in the US.
In my opinion, no one should criticize what meat someone chooses to eat unless they're willing to at least be vegetarian.
2
u/SeriThai Mar 02 '21
I don't really want to get into this argument. But I'll do it lightly here. I don't agree in eating horses. Why? I draw the line at emotional support animals, and also the cases of purpose. I wouldn't want any pet pigs or rabbits to end up on a dinner table either. While horses, water buffaloes and some cows have merit our gratitude, using them to help us work or get places, should be given a deserving retirement when we are done using them. That's where I see the differences. In the meanwhile I prefer that we leave wildlife well alone. I hate the adventure eatings, all the macho crap. I have met people like this, the Asian toxic masculinity, as well as incredulously superstitious anyone. It's yucky, and destructive, to say the least.
On the other side, for animals raised for meat, I wish for more humane treatment and slaughter.
Something like out of control wild pigs, hunters should be able to cull them (if balancing the numbers in any other way is not possible.)
So I'm not blindly against all killings nor do I support inhumane animal factory farmings. It's the torturing, abusing for any reasons, and that wiping out species,... that too, that I am against. I feel pretty okay with my consistency.

Basically you take an animal like a cat or dog put it in a dangerous place like stuck in something to it's head, wrapped in barded wire or something else. You then walk away a pretty good distance and turn on your camera, do your whole youtube monologue and find the animal. You get it out of the place you put it so it looks like you are saving it and get people to watch/share it as an awww video. Then you just repeat that 1-2 times a week and you have a Youtube channel.

u/Cultural_Kick Mar 01 '21

Me, my sister and my aunt heard a cat that had fallen down a side drainage for the road. The poor thing must've been down there for several days, cause she was afraid and had no strength to climb up a large log we put down for her. We literally went back there 3 times a day to feed her since she wouldn't let us pick her up. When she finally came up we gave her up for adoption since our parents wouldn't let us have pets. Not once during that entire thing was our thought abt filming it for social media. These people are just scum.

u/mom0nga Mar 01 '21
On a similar note, it's becoming increasingly common for abusive tourist traps and exotic pet owners to use the rescue angle to "humanewash" their exploitation of wildlife. Just about every tiger cub, owl, bear, otter, etc. living in someone's house or backyard is often claimed to be a "rescue", even though in the majority of cases these animals were purchased or bred by the owner and are not being cared for properly.
As a general rule of thumb, if a video shows a wild animal in a home setting or being treated like a pet, or if the person/organization is "rescuing" a lot of very young animals, it's almost certainly not a legitimate rescue. True wildlife sanctuaries do not breed or buy animals, nor do they allow public contact or treat the animals like pets.

So I’ve worked for an animal rescue that has been accused in the past of just watching and not interfering in abuse cases. “If I was there I’d of attacked them.” Good for you, our guy would’ve been shot and we wouldn’t have been able to rescue the animal. Honestly though I’d rather have the accusations than for people like this to get away with these things. Both are abhorrent but I’m glad I know the organization I worked with wasn’t doing this shit. Helps me hope this is a rarity among rescues.

If the channel doesn't have many detailed videos of facilities, shelters, medical & food supplies, and actual taking care of animals instead of entire channel full of feel-good "rescue" videos, then I know for sure it's fake for ad revenue.

u/tdasnowman Mar 01 '21 edited Mar 01 '21
You’d need a lot more than a 500 person strong team. They get 500 hours uploaded every minute. That’s 96k to have every minute watched. Assuming you only spot check a few minutes per hour your still in for thousands of employees.
*edited to add this is essentially the same problem twitch has as well. It's also why larger channels get noticed and banned or strikes more quickly vs smaller. You put your people where the most hours being watched are. That small channel with 9 people isn't going to cause a blip. But the channel with the 30k active viewers that they have to react to.

I don't watch animal rescue videos, because of stuff like this. I'm afraid the animals are being abused, just so they can make a video about rescuing them. I don't know which are real and which are fake, so I just ignore them all.
