I appreciate this update for one reason only. I like the fact that you guys provided a clear cut example of what is and isn't allowed. Allowing us to make an informed decision about future pranks. Please youtube, please do this with the other guidelines. Please provide us all with a list of links that are allowed or set up a lick checker so we can make sure beforehand. Please provide us with examples of what can and can not be put in thumbnails or again set up an out of site checking program so we can make sure we're in the clear before uploading. We want to be able to follow the rules that keep this community safe, but we can't do that if we all feel like we're walking on eggshells or don't understand exactly what you guys are looking for. I'm honestly afraid to start my film project because of this, just reading the guidelines make me hesitant to contribute to this community as a whole. That. Shouldn't. Be. An. Issue. New creatures should never be afraid to join a community because they don't know where their content will stand against the bots. Please, you have proven with this guideline update that you can explain yourselves in a way that is easily understood by the everyday user. Do the same for the rest of the guidelines, please.

You tube is actively demonitizing valuable channel because they don't agree with contradictory theories! Stop it now YouTube or we will boycott.

So Pranks that cause adults emotional distress are ok? Strange policy.

ชอบมากครับดี

I'm adul and can't watch while little children watch it's d that is not things children ain't supposed watch

You can do what you want to do

This will make me not upload to YouTube, but safety comes first for all content creators.

U know what! ,ur right! ,even though I don't hurt anybody, I didn't think the magnitude of this problem , just because im using my family members  wifi, ect, to watch ect,

Do the cinnamon and chubby bunny challenges count as examples of dangerous content? And what challenges are no longer going to be featured on YouTube besides the dangerous ones?

Typical.  No clear rules.  Just we'll destroy your content if WE don't like it or our advertisers complain.  Hey YT...How bout for once actually posting your rules that we can follow instead of your constantly vague comments on following rules we can't see or view.  But then that's what you really want isn't it?  The ability to appease an advertiser by taking down content THEY find offensive or a group of people consider discriminatory.  Frankly, you should be honest.  You really don't care about if it follows rules as long as your advertisers think it's OK, right?  So keep your rules vague and undocumented so you can make them up as you go to destroy valid content of creators just because someone is offended.  Just because a video offends someone is no reason to take it down.  We all had the rights to freedom of speech even though many advertisers may hate that content.   It's just censorship pure and simple in order to make YT a buck.  YT users...If you don't like the content, thumb it down and negatively comment on it.  Then don't watch it again.  That's your right.  But don't become a voice for censorship.  Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it should be banned.  Just because it attacks something you hold dear doesn't mean it should be banned.  If we truly believe in Democracy, we have to defend the right of every opinion including those we hate whether it's popular with us or not.  Most of what YT has been taking down may offend some people, but they always have the choice of choosing not to watch.  Instead these people want things they don't like banned from YT.  Stop the censorship YT!
