These channels are immoral and against YT's TOS. YT should take them down, but they haven't (yet).
Something I could do about it is personally is stop using YT until they do. I've seen other instances of the negatives of YT that are making me think this is what it must come to (i.e. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24571038 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24571038).
The ironic thing is that I'm tempted not to ban YT because there's so much content that I like (pbs spacetime, veritasium, etc). However this type of reasoning is how atrocities in the past have been allowed to happen. Essentially youtube is Google's real monopoly and this is just another example of the problem of monopolies.
So I'm going to block myself from youtube (since habit is too hard to break, I'll do it by adding these lines to /etc/hosts)
127.0.0.1 youtube.com
127.0.0.1 www.youtube.com
Could someone please post here when these channels are deleted?
- amelius 6y agoYou could also flag the content, as explained here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK8qRNSmhEU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK8qRNSmhEU
- seles 6y agoI was under the impression it was already being flagged and ignored. Could you explain how that would help? BTW I cannot view that link... "This site can’t be reached" :)
