Won't be available to anyone terminated for copyright stuff.
Woooow what a huge dick move.
That's the one massively imbalanced power dynamic that I hear people really fear losing their livelihood to for no good reason, and they're leaving it there to terrorize and ruin livelihoods for future generations.
I put up a video of a funeral service for my grandma and like 5 minutes later I was getting threatening legalese mail about my channel by cancelled forever because some record label has a recording of a thousand year old hymn and they don't give a shit about threatening people with no legal basis at all
Last heard on Gamers Nexus. A multi-million subscriber channel that got hit with a copyright strike by (I think it was) Bloomberg and falsely claimed. They had no legal ground and YouTube cracked down on them. Ef YouTube and ef their blog post.
I left because it’s infested with advertising that offensively begins playing loudly the millisecond a video page loads. The site feels janky and the algorithm games the consumers. YouTube still is in the business of feeding drivel to toddlers and shadowbanning normal user accounts from comments. Like Windows, YouTube lost my trust long ago and no amount of blog posting about how good they are will ever fix that. Odysee and Rumble are better experiences, unlike YouTube the sites let you play content in the background on mobile. Mainstream YouTube, an advertising delivery platform with concerns for the user and creator base being deep last.
Speaking as a parent of young children, I don't see any point in going back to YouTube. It's been blocked in our household basically since our oldest was six, and I don't see any way they could ever lure us back into that ecosystem.
Save perhaps allowing access only to specific, curated (self-controlled) channels.
If anything, YT's announcement here suggests they're going to take an already terrible platform covered head to toe in schlock and say "y'know what, we can add on a few more buckets"
The creator economy needs to be regulated much better, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok are all too powerful and can take away your ability to speak online incredibly easily with almost no due process.
They are still high on their power trip. They say creators will have an “opportunity” because creators “think YT might have made a mistake”. What a huge ass announcement
What about the thousands of channels that exist only to harass people? Not even public figures, but just ordinary people. YouTube is a huge part of that and they seem to not care at all about sorting it out. They are literally funding hate.
We may have banned some nazis in the past, but now we're sorry, please come back. The political climate has changed and you are sorely needed. At least until the next election.

1) If a person's channel is terminated, can they not already open another channel?
2) How is this different from a person either opening a new channel or getting a new Gmail and opening a new channel?
Basically running out of videos to serve their ads alongside to.
