I reported this very obvious scam video ad to YouTube and they refused to remove it because they can't 'verify it's fake'. Looks like @TeamYouTube would rather profit from scamming children than keep the platform safe.

They refused to take this one down as well 🤦‍♂️ Some use @Ninja in the thumbnails... Many use @OMGitsAliA and other popular creators bet they wouldn't be very happy with you allowing this @TeamYouTube

There are no words to describe the tragedy that occurred today. @SusanWojcicki & I are focused on supporting our employees & the @YouTube community through this difficult time together. Thank you to the police & first responders for their efforts, and to all for msgs of support.

Active shooter at YouTube HQ. Heard shots and saw people running while at my desk. Now barricaded inside a room with coworkers.

In response to Logan Paul’s recent pattern of behavior, we’ve temporarily suspended ads on his channels.

Thank you @TrustedFlagger. I went from channel termination back to 100% good standing. YouTube is still looking into the evidence I’ve provided on people maliciously flagging my videos causing this problem in the 1st place. I know who’s behind this. Filming my video. FINALLY!!

~90% of monetised channels will be kicked from the #YouTubePartnerProgram YouTube has thrived from allowing everyone to make a bit of money. The malicious users will STILL get through ”This is like a farmer who only waters seeds after they grow. It doesn't work like that.”

4000 hours in minutes = 240,000 - if we estimate average video retention is 3 minutes, that would make the new requirement around 80,000 views. This is an 8 fold increase. xitter.cf/TrustedFlagger/status/…
Official YouTube Update: to monetize videos on YouTube you now need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours watch time

Logan Paul's ad revenue will be cut by ~50% due to YouTube kicking him out from Google Preferred Advertising.
