bulgur?

youtubes policy shift is just a precursor to when obama gives away internet control to the "international community" in "the spirit of fairness" next month, the internet is already heavily censored pretty much everywhere overseas and the liberals here have hated the fact they no longer control the dissemination of information for decades so this is how they can "regulate" (stifle) through backdoor means.

morons will claim nothing will change, and then 2 - 3 years later when everything has changed drastically in the exact manner i said nobody will want to talk about it anymore and instead try to argue that the new orwellian internet rife with thought police and censorship is "better"

I've seen a lot of youtubers migrate away from youtube because of past policy changes. I wonder how many will jump ship now?
I can't see how anyone could say "nothing has changed." A ton of popular youtubers no longer have an ad revenue stream. Cutting someone off from what they make their money from isn't going to make them perform the way you want them to.

90% of monetized YouTubers just lost their jobs pretty much

Youtube will become cattube. All the cat videos you could possibly want.

How delightful. Finally we do something about all these grotesque deviants who don't support modern values like equality and tolerance.
Now I can enjoy my videos free of bigotry and vulgar prejudice, the time to end this savagery is long over due.
Culling those with archaic understanding of world, those unwilling to conform to the liberty of progressive thinking - what is this if not true freedom?
Such a glorious day.

So, you can't gain money from profanity, sex, gore and tragedy. You can put it on youtube anyways for free.
...
No censorship have been made and no incitment to make profits over other's disasters.
I see no problem then. Standard community have a more stricts rules.
The last rule will be kicked in no time since it have no real meaning. Don't panic out.

Not exactly. These new guidelines are just that, Guidelines. They are not set-in-stone Rules like everyone is making them out to be.

These guidelines are enforced selectively, essentially giving YouTube the power to take revenue away from any video they want.

I doubt YouTube would ban/demonetize any of the 'major' YouTubers unless they publish a video on a subject that YouTube doesn't like, which is a whole separate issue and an ass-backwards argument on censorship.

TL;DR = YouTube is just setting up to have a greater control, period. We will just have to wait and see what they use this new power on.
