This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
It's basically a re-education camp, to prove you're now a good citizen. This is a corporation, mind you. The dark times we live in.
No thanks, I've had two videos get strikes and removed by them. One was a video that showed people how to remove the FireStick stock launcher and replace it with Wolf Launcher so you could use a clean, ad-free launcher like Simple TV Launcher. And the other was just a video that walked people through using ReVanced Manager. I mean, I get it, it's their platform and they can choose what gets broadcast on it. And I'm also not entitled to them hosting a video that walks people through cutting out their revenue stream. But I read the policy they cited me breaking, and you would have to apply a very vague interpretation to say I broke it.
They gave me a warning and a 90 day revenue ban because I reuploaded a cartoon made by some guy who happened to do a mass shooting.
The description said it was there for archival purposes and I did not condone his actions... didn't matter
The cartoon had nothing to do with the shooting and wasn't even violent in and of itself. Didn't matter, I got slapped with promoting a criminal organization... even though the guy wasn't in a gang or anything...
I no longer upload to youtube. I'd risk google bans for a reason that may not even be in the rule book.
What use is the training when Youtube will randomly change the rules, make them effective retroactively, and give you two strikes at once?

Brilliant bot
This will go down on your permanent record.
What a slap to the tits to Youtube content creators. Essentially it is just "diveristy training" for Youtube creators.
Except diversity training is wishful thinking, this is just fucking patronizing. Like youtube is rubbing their nipples on the zoom calling telling a veteran youtuber how to avoid content warnings. Fuck off. Omg.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Starting today, those who receive a warning for violating the community guidelines will be able to take a training course designed to help them better understand how to steer clear of uploading videos that run afoul of YouTube's regulations.
If they violate the policy for which they received the warning a second time in that roughly three-month window, YouTube will remove the video in question and slap the creator with a dreaded strike (which can jeopardize their chances of making a living from the platform).
YouTube started dishing out one-time warnings in 2019 for a first rule break, which it says offered "creators the chance to review what went wrong before facing more penalties" (i.e. strikes).
Nonetheless, YouTube says creators told the team "they want more resources to better understand how we draw our policy lines" and this new approach is geared toward that greater transparency.
"We ultimately want creators to have the clarity they need to stay strike free on our platform — while maintaining a healthy experience for YouTube’s entire community."
Offering YouTubers a chance to learn and grow from their mistakes is a net positive even if some bad actors might try to abuse the system by deliberately uploading a few videos that cross the line each year.

Ooh nice
Youtube.. you can't make me take "diversity training", I don't work for you.
Eh at least it's some improvement over "We found an arbitrary reason to ban you. Get lost"
