You realize this for ads not the content to be in YT. I do not see anything that could be considered leaning right or left.
You seem to come to this with a bias that Google is left leaning and why you see a political leaning situation here. I am a centrist and do not.
- mizzack 9y agoYes I am aware what demonetization means. It's a very effective way to get people to stop producing content that does not align with Youtube/Alphabet/their advertiser's values. The problem here is the looseness of the guidelines and the complexity of navigating deep issues with nuance. Entertain me here for a second... Let's talk about a few hypothetical videos: "The positive contributions of undocumented migrants in the US" - positive content about immigrants. Exempt from demonetization per the guidelines. "The problem with illegal immigration in the US" - antagonism of a specific group of people/xenophobia per the guidelines. Should be demonetized. Now, do you think it's an unreasonable position to say that undocumented immigration has both pros and cons? Of course not, everything does. Youtube's distillation of rules that only allow for discussion of one side these issues with zero nuance is the problem. Coincidentally or not, the allowed positions for discourse align with the brand's corporate values.
