YouTube to ban accounts that are not commercially viable
- slackfan 7y agoI, for one, welcome our new youtube TOS rationalization overlords.
- christianmm 7y agoToo many of them here, this got no traction on 2 submissions
- slackfan 7y agoShocked, shocked I tell you!
- verdverm 7y agoWhere exactly does it say this? I did not see a statement in my skimming
- void_nill 7y ago[...] Terminations by YouTube for Service Changes YouTube may terminate your access, or your Google account’s access to all or part of the Service if YouTube believes, in its sole discretion, that provision of the Service to you is no longer commercially viable. [...]
- detaro 7y agoThat isn't in the changes though, which the title suggested.
- parasubvert 7y agoIOW it means they can kick you off if you cost them too much money. Which is fully reasonable for a private company. Unfortunately people have treated YouTube like a utility that makes them a living. It would be great to see PeerTube (and other ActivityPub-based federated open-source software social networks) grow and improve to the point it is a viable replacement.
- kadoban 7y agoThey must have already had some provision to use for those cases, right? I can't imagine that if i uploaded a 24/7 feed of a tree growing they'd have let me do that forever.
- lightgreen 7y agoI think they are probably going to delete all these endless and useless video game streams.
- lightgreen 7y agoI don’t speak English well enough but phrase “to ban” sounds like YouTube is actually going to ban, while in fact YouTube only reserves the right to ban. But the latter is not clickbaity enough.
