Yet this issue is on youtube preemptively blocking first party content by established organizations. This isn't Babby's First Copyright Violiating CS:GO Montage, this is content released by the same university that trained a chunk of youtube's employees.
The issues we are seeing can be easily fixed by some simple common sense controls on what levels of certainty are required to take down a video and/or channel that scale with how established the channel is, including requiring escalating levels of human review.
With the "advertiser friendly" issue, the same approach can be taken, topped off with a monetize time prompt or form that allows them to assert how advertiser friendly the uploader understands the video to be (weighted by the history of how accurate their answers have been in the past).
These are such solved problems, that youtube really shouldn't be having them.
- ucaetano 8y ago> some simple common sense controls on what levels of certainty are required to take down a video This is solved already, but there will always be false positives. What isn't solved, and likely never will be, is copyright. But it seems that the issue isn't due to content ID, but contractual issues.
- MrStonedOne 8y agoYa, youtube is obucating this, but it seems they are changing the terms to force monetization on certain kinds of content where they never did before. As in, force the creator to take a cut (as well as enable more ads to be shown.) It seems like an odd play, increase supply of ad slots while dealing with a demand decrease from random companies dropping ads during drama. They must have signed some kind of deal recently. If they are trying to increase the ad slot supply expect actions against ad blockers to come next.
