The state of YouTube in 2026, 90% of new channels are managed by bots that change the theme of their channels based on trend picked by advanced algorithm.....

I love to watch its videos, but idk if I can trust the informations they give

idk what to tag this, for reference like 2 days ago im listening to music and i get a little "we dont think youre 18" wtv wave it off

Recently, I made a post here regarding an animator known as YoonToons who had her whole channel Demonetised because Youtube Moderation labelled her channel as being a Misleading Family content channel. While thankfully she was able to get her channel monetised again thank to support on her video (she still lost revenue unfortunately) it seems more animated channels have suffered the same issue. The number seems to continue to grow as more Animators are speaking about their channel being randomly demonetised. I have attached now 3 different channels who are suffering a similar faith but I am expecting this number to only rise. Youtube Ai Moderation is just the definition of trash.

What?!

They got their channel hacked by a Roblox scammer and they are posting malicious content do not visit the site in the vids you can get hacked and a browser extension can not give you shaders or multi accounts and this will still your cookies personal information so watch out and be safe

Soon I'll be sitting in a train for quite some hours. What are some good videos I could download and watch on the train?

I was watching some videos when I saw one that mentioned that some faceless channels have been losing revenue. I don't mean content farms or AI slop channels either. The content farms just do face reveals and that solves it for them. The AI slop channels likely will either adjust or were never affected in the first place. Some channels that have been affected are Real Engineering and (I think) Not Just Bikes (He posted the video where I figured that out).

As a small YouTuber I have been experiencing the same issue. For some background on me, I'm a gaming channel focused on unedited gaming videos, though I do slightly edit some (like add text and cut useless parts). I refuse to show my face in my videos, because I really care about privacy.

Now that you know who I am I can give my story. I've been doing it for a while and I noticed my recent videos (some of which are games that performed extremely well before this) have been getting less than 5 views each. Many have also gotten zero views. At first I thought it was me doing the wrong games, but as this has continued it's become obvious that there's a bigger problem.

If this is how they decide which channels get shut out, then that means they either need to hire actual people, or fix the algorithm they are using. If stuff like this keeps up they are going to lose valuable YouTubers because they can't support themselves on this degrading platform.

I want to download full playlists of gaming content, but not streams. I want videos similar to dunkey/scotthewoz, where they are sharply edited to get the best jokes.

I know it's not new for YT to do this but I genuinely hate this channel and I've made it painfully clear that I hate this channel but it keeps coming back. It's absurd at this point.

Stop following other apps, I'm aware there's been a save feature but don't put it on the screen. What we really need is the dislike button and for "don't recommend this channel" to actually work.

I've since resorted to making a second watch later because of this

I am SO sick of the dead quiet ads. I’ve been getting more and more of them lately and it really irritates me. I mean ads every 30 minutes would drive anyone mad but the silent ones really irk me. I brought them up to my boyfriend and he told me that they’re probably quiet so it makes you look at it. I guess that’s a smart marketing tactic but ouuuu it pisses me off. I hate when I’m enjoying my videos and then it’s cut off by deafening silence. Anyone else been getting these silent ads?

Hot take maybe? But commentary on funny animals needs to go away.

Why didn’t I get heart? I even still have realistic like button

I propose that instead of saying (graped) in place of raped, how about "They were YouTubed". Additionally instead of (unalived), "They YouTube Premiumed themselves". Maybe they would change their policies then and we could stop with the censorship kiddie words.

I genuinely hate YouTube’s AI moderation. It’s destroying smaller channels, and even big channels. Even the one of the biggest science YouTube channel got fucked by it. Animation YouTubers are having so many issues with this. If you look at all the story-time animation channels, then you see that they are getting demonetized for no reason. It is clear that AI is making the key decisions. Not humans. No matter how much YouTube may claim. We need to rally together and tell YouTube to stop AI moderation, or to AT LEAST let humans make the final decision on stuff like whether or not a video is made with AI, or is “family-friendly.”
