Info:
(20th November 2019, 10:19 PM)Uptight 534 Wrote: Youtube was found to be in violation of the United States' Children's Online Policy Act (COPPA) by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). For context this is the same law that was enforced on JV (and is on JV2) that did not allow children under thirteen to register and be registered on the site without their parents permission. If someone said they were under thirteen (even as a joke), they would get banned until their thirteenth birthday.
Youtube cannot have collect data and target ads for children under thirteen. This causes content creators specializing in videos for younger people to lose revenue because targeted ads bring more revenue than general ads. There are also other restrictions on videos aimed at children. Creators have to specifically mark if one of their videos is aimed at children. If they do not do this and the FTC deems them in violation, the FTC will give them a fine of (so far seeing) $42,350 per video in violation.
There is also the issue of what constitutes "videos aimed at children" and content creators are worrying about if they will get affected (for example, gaming channels) (I think Camer is falling under this instant since Youtube can likely say PR2 videos are aimed at children).
Here is an article on this and a video from Youtube describing how content creators must comply:
https://nerdist.com/article/youtube-ftc-...emonetize/
I personally think YouTube should've just said "ok we collect data (do personalised ads/homescreen/etc.) on those with accounts only" but ofc they want money, so will put all this on the creators to get the most money still
EDIT: I don't blame YT for the situation overall (that is the FTC), only how they have dealt with it

I watch this every year and I’m currently disappointed with the nominations for GOTY. Super Mario maker should be in the list for GOTY. Also, Star Wars Fallen Order is amazing and it doesn’t have one nomination.
The awards show will start December 12 2019

(I actually posted this on the Acid Forums because I didn't know this place existed, so I'm basically copy-pasting from there)
I have no clue who's still even active on here, only like 5% of you probably even know me
Day of Lavos, Atom Heart Mother, Pinball Wizard, whatever you remember me as, I'm uh, still alive I guess. I'm at a pretty low point of my life currently and was waxing nostalgic about the past, particularly JV as that's where most of my formative years took place really. I've got some of my old JV friends on Steam and Discord, but I dunno, maybe I'm missing some, maybe I want to make more. I'll try and be a lil more active on here, I really do miss this place
If you're wondering what I've been up to I've been been on a slow, downward spiral of failure ever since I graduated high school. I'm 22 in college now and I'll spare the details cause who cares but it's not going great. I'll figure things out, don't worry, but right now I'm just constantly stressed and kinda sad. Also, I'm a girl now.
I dunno, if you wanna add me on Discord let me know, I don't wanna just put it out there for anyone. Also apologies if I don't know who you are, my memory has gotten pretty bad and I'm having a hard time remembering the hundreds of usernames I had memorized back in the day. Plus you all keep changing your names. And if you're a new person who'd like to be friends, feel free to start a conversation
Guess I'll be around a little bit, but this is mostly kind of an update and a call for anyone who wants to catch up
