It was an ARG. Unfortunately key-word there is was.

If someone @ 's me I'll provide evidence of it being an ARG.

@buffaloguy1991 I think whether it was an ARG or not doesn't play into the meat of the criticism. The fact that it was still content that was being directed at children by Youtube would be problematic, itself, depending on the content.

but it wasn't (I don't t think so) here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B1sRPwK248

Granted, if there was effort being put into it as an ARG, it shouldn't fall in the same category as the algorithm-bait channels.

NIghtmind covers channels like this.

But yeah there were ALOT of channels that were offending. All I'm saying is "Hey Kids" was not one of the offenders.

A lot of the blame falls on Google, though

yeah.

Sure, I suppose you could say that the channels were offending

but in the end, they were creating content that got views, letting them make money off of ads

It's the algorithm that was the offender.

Machines are still too stupid to handle anything as massive as Youtube.

Part of the point, really.

But, I mean

they're able to set up algorithms that can demonetize a video before it's even fully uploaded

Co-incidently was the point of the sub-narrative of "Hey Kids" an AI trying to make a kids show and failing.

so, if they're able to do that, categorizing a video as potentially troubling shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?

I don't think I'm anywere near ready to trust the machines yet

Just watch in 2 months all cat videos are gonna be slammed for sexual content cause the AI has the IQ of a lobotomite.

A positive and accurate article related to gaming on a news website....ON FORBES?!!?! I thought it was just a legend.

great, more refoogees

Shill your cupcakes

you know i actually kind of agree with that article from tim's video today. just that i dont agree with the prediction from it. that person writing that article might be the most woke person on the left alive right now if they actually recognize the polarization of the country and the subgroups of people who make up both sides of the conflict. though i disagree that a war is nessicary to deal with this though it is the american way. i think most people would actually prefer a segragation between the ideologically incompatible sides within the nation. the left isint going to win a civil war though, they won the first one because they had the advantage, it was really only a matter of time and their own incompatence mixed with the tanacity of the right at the time lead to it being drawn out far longer than nessicary in asymetrical warfare. the left rose to power during the great depression because they could offer answers to peoples needs to get things done that no one else could. FDR was basicly the american hitler, or lenon, or mussalini (ever think about how many regime changes occured during the great depression?) and trump is kind of the 21st century's FDR as a populerist.

its kinda delussional to think that the us is becoming more left, not many people are saying that and at the same time winners usually dont call for less cooperation with the loser, they usually dont see that being nessicary consitering it makes them look bad

The dems are winning in so far as there has not been that many good candidates for those oppose to the left to really rally behind.

thats pretty much all of politics, theres just no "good" candidates so its a race to avoid rock bottom

I think that people need to become more moderate, and that the blurring of the lines is happening, albeit slowly

there will always be die-hard cast folk who want nothing to do with any ideal held by group X

you can't really get past it; it's one of those `team` style things

most people ARE moderate,
due to social media the extremist level partisans just managed to not be "a single idiot",
And the media reinforces that "theres more than you think" delusion by reporting on it because they know it sells,
and as a result, you have those in power actually believing it, and making changes accordingly

Well, that's the point I made before

You've got the initiated on each side that are loyal to their party, or their ideals, and then you've got the uninitiated majority that go the path of least resistance

The left is winning the culture war by making right-leaning ideas unacceptable.

For instance, you can see this in places like John Oliver, where people are outraged that 'Crisis Pregnancy Centers' are trying to 'trick' people into not having abortions.

well, its because the left has the "moral highground"

People want to "be good"

and the majority are naive enough to think that others actually care

liek that these hollywood celebrities actually care that much about society/environment
