    Moderators were previously told to remove videos if one-quarter or more of the content violated YouTube policies. Now, that limit has been increased to half.

    This seems like alien speak to me. They announce that shit, someone read it, and then repeated it in an article. But what does it mean?

    Can you have 6 contents and make 2 really crazy? Can you tell people to commit violence for 5 minutes and then review a game for 6 minutes? Is there a dude with tvtropes open going through and marking the contents of content?

      I’ve worked for TnS at a different company.

      I would guess it is likely per video, or they have multiple types of review going over it on a per video basis and then also maybe the channel as a whole?

      So you could have half of any video contain the violating content, and it would be clear.

      It depends on who is being targeted.

      If you make a video calling for attacks on women, palestinians, gay people, etc., that’s all good!

      If you talk about taxing rich people, that’s extreme violence. Immediate ban.
