Youtube is now going to censor or to put it nicely "demote" your video if they find any content that they don't find fitting.
I do not know about you, but this is ridicules. I just hope Gyrovorbis's vids don't get demoted.

Here's a video I found discussing this.

They already have been for quite awhile. Notice JForce is higher in searches with way less views, lower ratings, less comments, less favorites, etc.

Wish I'd have known sooner.

i feel like making all the servers at my work make hits on your videos. like lets say 1000 hits an hour from different IP's everytime.

That would be awesome, dude. It's no more dishonest than Youtube's fucking bullshit. It's dishonest to demote a video that is more viewed, more liked, and more popular than other fucking videos.

I'm actually really pissed off about this.

Come on guys. Can't you just enjoy the sweet irony of a company owned by Google trying to impose censorship?

Youtube have been acting weird lately...

After the whole viacom thing (asking for all youtube users details, if you didn't know) they've gone a little barmy, I think it's all because the internet is being artifically 'matured' by bigger companies which want to regulate and control the information that's on it.

I'm surprised Google has decided to do this, to take censory measures, but there you go.

and guess what I found out today, my ISP is now in on that government file filtering bullshit. We had our internet temporarily disabled for downloading an episode of House. I bitched at the lady for nearly an hour and told her that if I am unable to download pornography, I'm finding a new ISP.

hahaha.

well in south africa. they pay about a 50 dollars a month for 384 kilobits/second and they have a 2 GB cap a month.

so not only do you wait forever for your expensive porn downloads, you can only download 4 debbie does ME! episodes.
after that they limit you to 5kb/s (dialup speed) and only localsites.


so you still have it better than other people.

ofcourse we could move to korea and pay 25 dollars for a 1GB line.

I heard Japan has kick ass internet Falco, have you looked into housing rates over there?

The best explanation I ever got about youtube and censorship, or internet censorship in general is from a mod at thegamecreators.com

"The reality is you have to follow the rules of the website. If you want to post anything you want, you have to have your own server but then you still have to be wary of your ISP's rules. That's the reality--- there's no such thing as absolute free speech on the net as far as I can tell. I've been called a fascist just for upholding the rules on here.

Google owns YouTube and they are free to censor anything they want--- there's no law against that.

If child porn is posted and deleted, isn't that technically censorship too? Every company has to set a bar somewhere, and apparently many believe YouTube's is too high. But in the end it's their choice."

Hahah! I decided to see what a Japanese house has and found this.

I must say that their houses sound pretty cool.

That's not because youtube demoted you, it's because I do SEO for our videos.

Funny that you came here to post that. Even more so that we're ahead of you in every search possible, including 'indie game.'
