      The US government specifically warned against using bots to enforce these regulations, because the bots are awful at this job.

      @@anessenator To a certain degree, bots /are needed for a task this monumental. I believe I read at one point that roughly 500 hours of content is uploaded to CZcams every single minute; that's far too unreasonable for a human staff to watchdog.
      However, CZcams is also notorious for designing bots to meet bare minimum requirements, and there's absolutely zero incentive for them to do anything more this time around. If a channel is flagged in violation, it isn't CZcams getting fined $42k+, it's the creators.

      @@TalonSky Or, novel idea, when the bots flag something, it sends little red tick mark demanding human intervention to look at. Upon review, the human decides "This is good" or "This is not good.". The bot will, over time, get better. But the bot should be capable of doing nothing but temporarily preventing the video from being published in the event that it catches something "immediately". Why? So that it does not demonetize a video that's active and ready to be seen, thus eat into the potential earnings of the youtuber in question, miniscule as they may be, only to, after the window for the most income has passed, be regarded as "Safe for monetization" when it no longer matters.

      @HO LAM YIU Both are words, they just have different tenses. "Smote" is the past tense (e.g. "He smote the people"); "smitten" is the past participle (e.g. "He has smitten the people"; "The people were smitten by him"; "The people are smitten by him"). Nikola technically should've used "smitten". But perhaps people avoid it because it could be confused with "be smitten with" (e.g. "He was very smitten with her").

      That... has a possibility of actually being true. Reports a few years ago had it that CZcams wasn't actually making a profit in its operation. Since then, it's not clear if anything has changed for them financially. Google may have decided that they really don't want to deal with it anymore, but they realize they can't just announce that they're closing down frickin' CZcams because the public backlash from that could severely impact their other businesses. So instead, they're just slowly trying to push creators away, hoping that it dies a somewhat natural-seeming death.
      I don't put full stock in this idea, but it's not beyond the pale as a possibility.

      "it's like" is an understatement, CZcams is actually doing their best to, but people become somewhat masochistic, they keep clinging to youtube even with all those abuses

      CZcams is trying to become a family friendly platform. Which will ultimately be its demise. That's why you see all of the celebrity and makeup channels. The moment Google bought out CZcams is the day that the platform started to go downhill. People used to come to CZcams BECAUSE it wasn't family friendly. They came BECAUSE it was different from the same old boring daytime tv bullshit. Now we get served a platter of more of the same. Everything's an ad for something. New creators can't get a foot in the door. It's all corporate trash now.
