9k:RD/ rules of YouTube (Q618)
Main entry
- de facto rules of YouTube -> imagine. imagine keeping a list of concrete rules of what platforms are actually removing things for which can't be directly taken down by those platforms, so people who actually want to follow the rules and don't want to skirt past them and cause trouble don't suddenly get banned and aren't left angry at how senseless it all is. this may be one of the most autistic things I've ever done in my life, but only in the good senses of the word.

- YouTube comment character limit -> if I remember right this is 10,000 characters. I'll have to check that.
- YouTube community guidelines -> this entry may be used for representing the individual rules as propositions.
- demonetizable words on YouTube (2016-) [1]
- referring to 9/11 as "event A" (YouTube) [3] -> hmm. that is silly but at least there is some kind of coherent logic to it, I guess. doesn't really make sense with how pro-Israel and anti-Arab everyone actually uploading on YouTube is but whatever.
- censoring "CPR" (YouTube) / YouTube video censoring "CPR" [4]
demonetizable words on YouTube + ?? = this. - YouTube deletes channels for attempting to delete any videos after receiving a copyright claim (2026)
- the only person who likes AI YouTube video summaries [6] -> ah, the perils of anti-essentialism. you want to act like no normal person would ever use the AI summary feature, but she's right there. staring you in the face, and you simply don't want to believe she exists. this is what you get when people believe that individual lived experiences are the only way to get information about collections of people. the lived experiences of a bunch of people who exist in ways you don't want them to.
I find it weird that this reddit is full of people who feel entitled to have the interface exactly the way they want it and for the platform to make no changes and some people who feel entitled for individual channels to "stop being bullshit", but they get deeply offended if somebody uses an AI summary built into the platform because those users see a video as bullshit and have taken action. I could see that response if somebody was going out of their way to feed videos into an LLM on another site. and of course, using YouTube's transcript feature to pull the text of the video and read it in another program is the best way, though I'm pretty sure it's also been neural network machine learning the whole time and there's not a big distinction between YouTube recommendations AI, YouTube transcript AI, YouTube comment translations AI, and YouTube summary AI. but... is everyone who uses the reddit truly a video creator? that just seems like gaslighting. - AI questions for YouTube shorts / AI summaries for YouTube shorts -> okay, now that's just comedy. I guess somebody might use it if the short contained an incomprehensible meme.
- Grokmaxus comments [7] / Grokvortex comments [8] -> huh. so, spambots are showing up and copying real comments into new comments but turning them into cryptocoin ads that may or may not be for building grok agents on the blockchain. rather expected from what I know about both spambots and cryto coins, but still strange.
- comment bot, ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about tangerines [9] -> that is wonderful.
- address guessing bot / comments bots posting random words with no ad (generic) [10] [11] -> whoa. that is probably what they are.
- unwanted YouTube updates / unpopular or confusing YouTube updates
- YouTube boosting comments with no likes / YouTube boosting comments with no likes, leading to negative comments bleeding up to top of comments section -> that is.... so actually sociologically interesting. it tells you a lot about the current un-designed purpose of liking comments, in a way.
- YouTube removing dislike button / YouTube removing dislike button from Shorts (sense) / YouTube hiding dislike button on users' own uploaded videos (sense) / YouTube hiding dislike button for regular videos (sense) -> so apparently the third one is only hypothetical, and the second one has greatly confused people who into thinking the third one happened.
- YouTube removing dislike button from Shorts / Our research showed it overlapped with tools like "Not interested" and "Don't recommend this channel" (YouTube Shorts) [13] -> huh. I think for that to really work you'd have to give creators a count of how many times people pressed "not interested" and "don't recommend". to be fair, it could be interesting to have a graph of that versus views. but I'm not sure if the company is actually doing that.
- Hiding the dislike button is a dictatorship [14] -> people will use words to mean
anything...
think about what this "dictatorship" consists of. it consists of, like, having to choose between localized 1,000 rulers you can only praise instead of being able to criticize. starting to sound like something in particular, isn't it?
dictatorship of the bourgeoisie + removing dislike button (online platforms) = Hiding the dislike button is a dictatorship. - writing systems for sign language [15] [16] -> this sounds funny at first until you realize that sign language has a specific grammar and can be analyzed as being made up of strings of "ideographs" (signs, which are visual). so, yeah. subtitles naming each sign to help you learn sign language are a possible thing in theory.
Ideologies, topics, or genres
