Documentaries like true crime or history will now blur the entire screen for certain scenes. I've just started noticing "over blurring" in recently uploaded videos by popular channels.

It's up there with people warping their language with phrases such as "unalive". Everyone's just out to dodge the corporate cleaners so their videos don't get nuked or their ad revenue confiscated. I fucking hate it. Bunch of goddamn women.
Youtube essentially controls what language is allowed, which eventually bleeds into the real world. If nothing changes, in 20 years, even police officers will talk about "unalivings" in press conference. That's how powerful big tech actually is.
Some minorities do it - unalivings
When white people do it - murder/slaughter etc
It also makes no sense when traditional TV allows "killed" and such. Companies advertise on those all the damn time. Why should it be any different on YouTube?
because jews
Self imposed double speak, its the gayest shit in the fucking world. But anytime you bring it up around anybody with an ounce of normie in them they ALWAYS say "its da algorithms brah you gotta do it brah".
This would be the West if our founding fathers were female. Never ending thought police
Remember when the gay liberal jews running these websites said right wing conservatives and right wing conservative values would have a "chilling effect" on free speech?
And now they do this kind of shit
My understanding is most of it is to beat whatever Youtube AI from taking away their monetization. To most of these, Youtube is a cash cow, not a place to actually say anything. I'd actually like to watch political type things elsewhere, but most of those sites are just filled with people who can somehow make a two hour video about a five minute hypothesis, and I just do not have the willingness to deal with that.
I wish I could get some of the more absurd words I've heard blanked out on there off the tip of my tongue. Then there's the ones that happen more often like rape, kill, suicide, etc.
Demonitization is nonsense and should have been dealt with when state censorship started happening with the excuse that it was advertisers doing it despite there not being a problem before.
Cancel culture had many knock-on side-effects.
I like watching documentaries made 10+ years ago. Official channels will re upload old episodes to make money and blur the entire screen
They overblurr so they don't get demonetized.
Youtube is ONLY about money now. Even my favorite Youtuber only cares about it now.
It's not even about just the money --
Blokes like Arthur Kwon Lee, SyntheticMan, or Gerbert's Void just try to inform people and they still have to self-censor A LOT just so they don't get hit with community strikes or channel bans. If you check Arthur Kwon Lee's community posts, he gets hit with these strikes all the time, and he's constantly talking about the Jews, etc.
He doesn't even care about the monetisation (since he makes his money selling some awesome art), he's just trying to wake people up and still has to self-censor to avoid the strikes.
Beyond the demonetisation there is also YouTube just outright hiding your content, or striking it because of some nebulous form of "hate speech".
SyntheticMan's Battlefield 6 video got struck because he made critical comments about a black Shaneeqa character and had to upload it to Rumble.
Thanks for the new channel recommendations!
This is their alternative to a soul less corporate job.
Tbf i cant really blame them.
I've seen a good amount of police documentaries and they only have gore and minor's faces blurred. I wonder if they're already demonetized and just blur what's legally required and so they aren't age restricted.
Fair use exists for a reason. Youtube is over zealous in it's copyright enforcement.
