About time. This stuff has been cancer on YouTube for years.

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Misleading titles and thumbnails are against YouTube terms of service for as long as I can remember. Those are options to select when reporting videos.

It seemed like they never enforced it though

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Years ago, I reported maybe 3 or so videos because the thumbnail wasn't slightly misleading or exaggerated but completely different from the content. Nothing ever happened. DeArrow fixes the problem to a degree.

I won't be happy until they ban shocked Pikachu "show us your O face" thumbnails.

I logged off and then started looking for titties....the tape project, dancers wearing next to nothing, African tribe dancing naked, body paint, see thru lingerie hauls, cleaning naked hauls, breast feeding tities....my YouTube is now embarrassing pornographical without me loving in.

YouTube is not for kids.

How else are people at religious colleges with internet filters supposed to masturbate?

What the hell is wrong with the people here? Actual positive news for a while and what does Lemmy have to say? Complaining and cynicism. No wonder you're so miserable all the time.

I haven't seen any of the usual self-righteous "I only use self-hosted video services" comments in here yet though.
