As I previously stated, here's Google's Vision AI...

This is relatively below the radar, but understand what Youtube (namely Google's) sole intention is...

We are unknowingly building Big Brother. The world's largest mass of centralized intelligence. They have data profiles
on all of us. Complex algorithms tracking every little detail. I mean, seriously, those coordinates are tracking eye and eyebrow positions to denote feelings.

What is the purpose of this? One is employed in reading content. So if Dad has "angry eyebrows", they could suppress...
They would suppress viewership for "angry Dad" because he's not as brand friendly or marketable. Don't believe that they suppress views? I have evidence for that too.

If a video gets demonetized, they will not send it out to all audiences. Why would they? They get less money.
This was 100% confirmed by a Youtube employee that I had a Skype conversation with a year ago. AND EVEN TO THIS DAY IS STILL DENIED BY YOUTUBE.

Videos that are more "brand-friendly" or "ad-friendly" will be suggested more. If they are not, they will be recommended less.
My channel is sandbagged and labeled on Youtube's back-end as a mature channel. I will not receive good CPM's and my videos will be low-key suppressed for being edgier, despite it being a narrative.

This was made even more evident by their "self-monetization tool".
These are some of Youtube's "qualifiers" for what constitutes "brand-friendly" content. Notice that video game violence gets dinged. Professional stunts get dinged. Pranks get dinged. Dramatized violence gets dinged even as a PART OF A COMEDY, DRAMA, OR ANIMATION!
What's even crazier...is that even videos that appear to be MONETIZED are actually suppressed given they are not ad-friendly on all accounts. Here is proof of one of my videos that is confirmed GREEN by manual review.

Yet notice it says (limited ads) for dramatized violence.
And as confirmed in the Youtube employee clip, if there's limited ads or less brand friendly. THE VIDEO WILL NOT BE SUGGESTED!

Here's a crazy screenshot of fellow Youtuber @Lyricoldrap as he has "PRANK" in his title. Views suppressed. THEN HE REMOVES PRANK and views go up
That's right. Youtube killed ALL PRANK CHANNELS. So @RomanAtwood @Jessewelle and @fousey who made the platform years ago, all were forced out of that style of content.

Similar to @LeafyIsHere and @RiceGum being suppressed towards mid-2016 as Youtube changed against them.
Still not convinced? Youtube even has done this with YOUTUBER'S CHANNEL NAMES. "McJuggerNuggets" in your title has led to demonetization and suppression.

Here's evidence of this from @Lyricoldrap

Took mine and @Lance210 name out and views shot up.
Don't get me started on Youtube wrongfully terminating channels. Or even the copyright claim debacle.

Referencing that Youtube rep again, their company is divided into so many fractured teams. It's hard to sense any sort of clear guidance or direction. It's a multi-headed beast.
The most frustrating thing about all of this is Youtube has not been listening to its creators and has not been transparent with communication at all. We are always left with the consequences.

The creators make the platform. Do I need to bring up what happened w/ Vine?
It still kills me to think that an aspiring creator won't be able to make Youtube their career. They've made it increasingly more difficult. To think that someone who gets 200k views per video and has 4,000,000 subscribers could be struggling.

Made $2000 in Aug. Rest was backlog
There will be a lengthy video detailing all of this and more in a few weeks...It's seriously a shame that this how things turned out.

But I couldn't be more excited for the future of @storyfireapp A true platform made by creators, for creators!
A creative platform should not be run entirely by corporate suits. They'll always care more about the business. I'll always support the artists and what benefits the talent who pour their blood, sweat and tears into their craft.

I just want to conclude by saying...
To all the fans, I love you. You have given me everything I could've dreamed of.

To Youtube, thank you for giving me the opportunity to succeed at my passion and bringing me all this way! I'll always be grateful for that.

However, just know that I don't agree with everything.
