Hello, all!
So recently Youtube has been going through some difficulty with the miss understanding of the Restricted mode that Youtube released a while back.
What is "Restricted mode"?
"Restricted Mode is an opt-in setting available on the computer and mobile site that helps screen out potentially objectionable content that you may prefer not to see or don't want others in your family to stumble across while enjoying YouTube. You can think of this as a parental control setting for YouTube."
Because of said events, it's got me thinking about all other content which is considered objectionable for instance channels that upload "edgy" content but then that also got me thinking about Gaming channels.
Now while not all games are considered mature or violent content there will be a few games that will put you into a restricted category such as games like Doom, Deus Ex, BioShock, and Hitman.Even games that have a somewhat mature rating of 16 could land you in the same category as games like Doom, so you'll need to start thinking twice about uploading Call of Duty, Halo, and Battlefield!
With that being said, it's not all doom and gloom with only a very small percentage of users actually use restricted mode voluntary so now's, not the time to fully squeaky clean our channels!
Gaijin Goombah who you might recognize from his own channel or if you are a viewer of The Game Theorists with Matt Pat, has had issues with the system at the start of March, yes while some of his gameplay and general videos do contain some Mature and violent scenes not all of them do, but thanks to the inaccuracies of the restricted feature it removed all his content from the site with the restricted mode activated.
So what do you guys think? Do you have any plans to avoid this or will you be changing some of your content around?
Also this thread I have a challenge for you! I would like to see someone find another channel when in restricted mode has no content there!
All the best

Did you know that 75.7 million YouTube videos use the gaming tag that is currently uploaded to the site, so if your still a considerably small YouTuber you might not feel it as much, but that is unless you don't tag the game or include the name in the title for the search engine to easily find it and match it!With that being said, it's not all doom and gloom with only a very small percentage of users actually use restricted mode voluntary so now's, not the time to fully squeaky clean our channels!
