Seriously?

Oh, no

It's in the article up there

From the guardian

oh gotcha, my bad, i didnt read up

ill stfu and go back to my corner lol

"“YouTube is an open platform where anyone can choose to post videos to a global audience, subject to our community guidelines, which we enforce rigorously,” said a YouTube spokeswoman.

The company has tightened the rules for which channels have access to monetisation features and deployed machine learning technology to identify hate speech in comment features, the spokeswoman added. If a user is caught sending abusive Super Chats, the revenue received will be donated to charity instead of being split between YouTube and the channel’s creator."

There has to be a potential lawsuit there somehow. It's steal money from the commentor and creator

ya that is pretty messed up

i have to agree, if i donate money to one person

and another group comes along and takes it

thats thievery of the highest order

I know they can claim it's in the TOS, but o don't think this is enforceable.

the problem is superchat payments are small ammounts

It should instead just remove the superchat and canel the payment processing.

going to court over them will be diffiicult

ya i agree with that

it would have to be class action, for sure.

if you arent going to pay the creator, then refund the money paid

like you said, the ToS probably obsolves them of anything

They can claim that, but I don't think this works here.

ya, i think it will be similar to people that get hurt in places with warning signs. sure that sign is there, but you can still sue

pretty sure TOS stops being enforcable when you start stealing things actually worth money.

we would need someone to reach almost 1k in a superchat

or be missing 1k to get into court

small claims wouldnt be worth the time

Like steams tos works only because you don't actually pay for the game, you pay for rights to play it.

ya

same with EULAs. unenforcabke.but going to court is too mjcb troubke for avergae joe/jane

access to the service

which is what youtube will claim as well, we give out free access to the service

we can do what we want

You need to go to court for principle, not money.

ya i get that, but there is a monitary ammount before it gets taken seriously, if someone could claim other things other than the loss of money then other stipulations can be added

Given the right of crowd funding for some legal stuff, like Danks stuff, there is a possibility for a few people to go to bat on behalf of us, the viewer. And the person getting their money stolen.

ya that is what it would really take

given how the left tried to eat pewdepie, i wonder if hey will try to gank his cash, but i think he is still mostly on their good side

honestly any lawsuit would need someone with his clout to even get noticed

(hate saying that he has clout, but 65million subs is a hell of a number)

Pewds isn't on their good side, YouTube just knows they can't piss him off so much he jumped to bitchute and helps make them popular

ya that is a good point
