YouTube to give banned creators a 'second chance' after rule rollback

  The program excludes creators terminated for copyright infringement

  Because that’s just unforgivable. /s

    Don’t you know it’s just for neonazis to appease the President?

    of course, only shitty AI is allowed to do that

    Jfc. I thought this might be in response to the whole Gamers Nexus thing, and Google finally recognizing that it’s trivial to weaponize their copyright strike system against anyone’s channel.

      Gamers Nexus is nowhere near that relevant for them to care. More likely to be related to Davie504 that recently got his third copyright strike on a video where he plays the Moonlight Sonata on bass.

    YouTube’s ‘second chance’ process fits with a broader trend at Google and other major platforms to ease strict content moderation rules imposed in the wake of the pandemic and the 2020 election.

    Oh goody, we’re going to get a whole new wave of far-right videos on YouTube.

      If I had to guess, YouTube video uploads are down or at least stalling, and this is an easy way to juice the numbers before the next quarter. Content is content, after all, and line must go up.

  Fascist sympathizers.

  Why should one give YouTube a second chance, though?

  Apparently ban has a different meaning than it used to. I keep seeing dramatic posts about Who-Gives-Shit influencer getting banned from somewhere. The next day or two I see another post about how they’re back.

    People have been dropping the preceding adjective. It used to be that temp bans were handed out for first violations or accumulated minor violations, with the severity of the violation dictating whether it was a temporary ban of hours, days, weeks, or months.

    Really egregious violations, or a pattern of temp bans not changing the users behavior would trigger a permanent ban.

    I also hate the use of “ban” alone to mean temporary. The default use of “ban” should, does, mean permanent. If it’s temporary, it should be specifically conditionalized as such. I don’t really know when this started or how we got here, but it’s fucking annoying.

      The temp adjective has been dropped for a decade or 2 which is why permabans have been called permabans not just bans.

  I wonder what their motivation is. Just a good old change of heart, giving everyone a 2nd chance or possibly something else?

  • perishthethought@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Could someone have possibly sent them a little message, asking nicely for this change?

    Possibly something else.

  They’re trying to win back the rumble crowd.
