      Any would-be competitor needs content creators, so it's up to the creators to make a platform competitive. If they truly have a problem with TH-cam then maybe start opening channels on other video sharing platforms and start posting "uncensored" versions of the same videos they upload to TH-cam.

    Just my take: It's because Cory isn't the "Stereotypical Black Guy" on TH-cam. Notice how they won't age-restrict ignorant black content when it comes to violence or someone being exposed for something unethical/unmoral. It's almost as if they want to continue to perpetuate Blacks in a certain light. Keep in mind that Cory also believes in God and doesn't use foul language on his channel, so it's not like his channel isn't family oriented. They don't want positive Black people to represent TH-cam at the Top, that spot is reserved for our counterparts.

      I think it has more to do with his own insecurities. It seems like he always thinks it's because he's black when something bad happens to him which is not a good mindset to have. Even this situation has nothing to do with him being black. It's TH-cam's faulty algorithm that didn't age restrict everyone's video correctly since that was the intended outcome due to the content being presented in those videos. The reason TH-cam took off age restriction was because he gave an example of another video not being age restricted. They then went in and investigated the situation and saw the age restriction was correct just that it wasn't being applied to everyone correctly so they "fixed" it and age restricted everyone. Again, none of this was because he was black.

    Funny part is Markiplier isn't even white, he's Korean, but he's well recognized both by the company and by the community, he's literally done entire productions with TH-cam while trying to advocate for creators, man literally bet his entire career doing a "try not to get age restricted" video as an experiment to see if or how biased the system/company really is by playing an "adult only" game on TH-cam. The video is still there and so is he, and neither of them are age restricted and the video still has 6.3 million views. It actually got MORE traction than normal.
    And honestly, I think you're both right, it may partly be about race, but if so it's because of what that person represents, you can be or look however you are or want, but what matters to them is if it's "marketable", sometimes TH-cam is even willing to let more "risque" content slide, because it's PROFITABLE, there's loads of sex scenes on TH-cam and even an entire section about reviewing "adult" toys and nude yoga videos and videos about nudism, just like there's also hyper violent movie, show and game clips on TH-cam and none of them will be age restricted, because as long as there isn't some sort of uproar over it, TH-cam quite frankly doesn't give a fuck, meanwhile more visible and more careful creators get strikes for "provocative outfits" or lewd language, or playing a game which everyone likes but there's a small vocal minority that want the game banned or think it's extreme. Hell, even if you make content which SHOULD fall into a safe zone for TH-cam's guidelines, like partial artistic depictions of nudity, if there's someone out there who just has it out for you because they're a troll or they have a hate crush on you, all they need to do is scream loud enough and they may put your entire career at risk of crashing down without you EVER knowing they existed.

    This is part of why I dropped out of teaching and changed careers. Being Aboriginal (a minority), I was only hired because of my race. Simple. My views went against what I was "supposed to say," what I'm "supposed to believe," and what I'm "supposed to being fighting against." I was just a number or a box on a checklist that was supposed to help policies and promote their woke agenda. It frustrated the school that I taught students to be open minded, and the school board decided to take action against me when I made an open comment about "We are teaching our children to become robots, not thinkers. We have them be told HOW to think rather than to THINK about the WHY and WHAT they are learning."

      I can’t speak on YT but the whole world is full of some BS and it ain’t just ràce related. I got a red light ticket and sent in video evidence that I stopped (full stop) and turned where there were no signs restricting turning on red. Verdict by them, still guilty, we don’t care about your evidence and still demand you pay us.
      Another, the gøvernment offered me healthcare but I had to pay out of pocket for it, so I turned it down. They billed me anyway, sent me to collectíons and reported me to the credit bureaus. I called them, proved my case with the paperwork showing I never agreed to this or used it (turned it down from day one). Did they care? Nope and still demanded I pay, mind you this is literally the gøvernment and they basically said the gøvernment doesn’t care if you are right, you still owe us because we say so. How about the credit bureaus? They didn’t care either, even with evídence turning it down, they still refused to change their reporting. I asked them what is the proof that I owe (I have proof I don’t), no replies from them anymore and I’m still being billed.
      Guys I could go on and on, pølice pulled over for no reason, pølice harassment, hospitals double billing me (3 different hospitals that has happened to me), not getting promotions because I wasn’t friends with the right peøple, not even getting the job because of some BS excuse usually about experience (yet they hire someone with zero experience), billed more than someone else for the same thing, house appraised less than exact same home as my neighbors (because they used the lowest fixer upper comps when mine isn’t a fixer upper)…. Basically we all go through some BS and life isn’t fair but it isn’t always about ràce, it’s just BS in general in our society….
      One more thing, yes I can’t know your personal experiences but don’t think it’s always just about skín color and don’t think there aren’t advantages too. Where I used to work (it was a gøvernment job, that’s all across the country), it was over 30% Błack (when the country is 12% Błack. So if you want a gøvernment job, you have a definite advantage in getting hired and of that there is zero doubt. Also, let’s be honest, I personally don’t care what someone’s skín color is, just that we are cool with each other (and my point is, most people are like that too). Even though, there is still a lot of BS out there and we all feel like we are tàrgets at times (some of us feel like that a lot).

These are just some examples of it being present. It’s all just a ploy cuz it already exists.

We have to go through extensive general bias training and I can attest that the same biases they hold before training are the same ones they hold afterwards. When I go through appeals, I’m baffled at what was and what wasn’t flagged because the mod before me clearly showed negligence. Trust me when I say there’s favoritism, racism, and hecka other -isms going on inside a company that’s SO “committed to making a safe space” for people. Brick house built with bandaids.

Markiplier is a good example of a "golden boy" in TH-cam's eyes and he gets a pass most of the time.

    I think a healthy balance between both being pragmatic about your situation, and standing up for yourself and aspiring to higher moral standards is necessary to lead a healthy, just life. Bit o you guys, bit o that guy.

    I'm surprised you cut off the part where Cory talked about "TH-cam black", that would have tight up perfectly with what Aba was saying about "fake diversity". It's a clear indication that it's more about pushing monetizeable agendas more than genuinely wanting to help people.

      It always was.
      There is a limited number of advertisement spots available, so if you promote one group, you must demote another. All of this is just one big mask off moment for the people who say "It's because I'm X, now promote me because of that and demote that other group because they are Y."

      Lol, big companies never “generally want to help people.” It’s all about that bottom line.

      @@reesejohnson2788 To the point where making profit for their shareholders is literally their main purpose for existing. There is even case law where the CEO of a company tried to do something for community reasons but the shareholders didn't want to because they could make more money otherwise. The CEO did it anyway, and the shareholders sued. The court ruled in the shareholders' favor that the CEO was in the wrong because he was acting against the interests of the company by lowering its profit.
      That's why non-profit business entities are explicitly a separate thing. Asking a for-profit corporation to give a shit about anything over their bottom line is like asking a person to voluntarily fast.

    Thank you for opening my eyes. Seriously. I am an old white guy and I never looked at this issue through this lens. It makes perfect sense. "It's not about your color, it's about what it represents". Dang. Again, thank you for this. It needs to be heard.

      It's got nothing to do with race, or if it does that's just one component, you get this shit as any kind of creator that isn't 100% TV friendly (yes, this includes playing video games, or being even remotely religious). If you make a video about the same news CNN/Fox just posted that gets promoted to the front page on TH-cam you still get demonetized and surpressed.
      God forbid you actually have different politics from the approved mainstream, you can kiss your monetization goodbye permanently.
      TH-cam is a terrible platform for content creators.

      Don't cuck yourself too hard dude. If you know anything about TH-cam, this incident is something that happens all the time without any racial bias because the algorithm they use to flag videos plainly sucks. This guy is multi millionaire making a video promoting a conspiracy to make money on the views, milking content about these issues is as old as Google's flagging system. Keep your sympathy for people who aren't multi millionaires whining on TH-cam, that's my MO.
