YouTube’s new rules for creators

I believe that everyone who owns their electronic devices knows YouTube, the application that has literally everything to watch and learn, just like Google, but all in videos. There are many creators who create videos and create more diversity in the YouTube community, these creators got income from views and company advertisements. Recently I found that many YouTube creators posted videos about how YouTube less the income calculations by limited the styles of videos, Only the most quality, and positive videos get to be shown to viewers. In my opinion, this is the wrong decision made by YouTube, change the rules only decreases the diversity of contents.

Before going into events, we must know that the YouTube community has various kinds of videos, from child songs to memes to game streams to strong sensitive content. YouTube owns their platform so they can do whatever they want to improve and get better. It is like when you are the owner of a whiteboard that has a lot of messages with large attention in it. Most of the people love that one message but you are the one that disagrees with it so you decide to delete it in front of everyone. That isn’t fair for those who like it at all, everyone should have a right to love and keep what they like.

As YouTube quietly changed the rules of the game, creators must provide videos that have more quality and increases the time with the right content so that YouTube sees it as a “good video” that they can then promote to the worldwide. Also, it will be harder for advertising to be shown in a video, which Zheng HengZhi, the Technical Director of Google had confirmed it. However, there is a Japanese YouTuber “Raphael” that have more than 3 million subscribers on his YouTube account which got suspended out of the community, His videos are about sexual myth in social and weapon experiments on human. After the suspending, he had opened his secondary channel Which now only left with 1.12 million subscribers and also he can no longer to make strong sensitive content which is his old style. He is only allowed to do normal content, He chooses to create pranking videos that make no fit in him at all compared to the old styles. I think kicking him out of YouTube only makes the problem become worst many organizations are going to make news about him which gives him more attention. also, his followers are going to upset about it, or even say something bad about YouTube.

YouTube’s new rule can be very harmful to big business. Google has lost $2 billion in ad revenue on YouTube. The new concept makes Google harder to put advertisements due to the decreasing of profit and the space of putting ads in videos. But I believe that Google cares about quality content more than the money made from ads which are good for both side.

Overall, YouTube meant to have all kind of videos that is legal on it so user can search and see whatever they like, but now YouTube platform has limited the content of videos more strictly, that does improve the overall quality of videos but that is not fair for some people who like to watch or study about “the edge of the law” topic videos, Everyone has rights to watch whatever they like legally. This change also made a loss of business companies. Instead of changing rules and limited the content, Users should know how to use YouTube on the right objective and turns into positives for the YouTube community.
