    Thank you for standing and keeping your integrity. There's this very strange censorship culture and way of talking that's being brought about due to this 'creator pop culture', listening to kids say 'un-alive' or pixelating people falling in fail videos, it has been this weird backwards world that is infecting creative works. I appreciate you talking about this! Seriously! Also you sitting NY style on an applebox... it feels so good let me say!

      I don't think it's backwards, to me it feels like... language gradually changing to accommodate certain sensibilities that weren't accommodated for 5 years ago. Like when in the mid-20 century films and media they were throwing the n word casually and now you don't hear it anymore. And now the creators are using phrases like "unaliving", "SA", or even "Dr. Ug" and it seems like continuation of the same trend (mostly driven by the platforms guidelines and advertisers this time, but that's besides the point). It's peculiar, I agree, but also creative and often more fun? than just saying things bluntly. I'm soo eager to see where the language will go next ☺️😌

      @@Yulenka- Okay, I can get behind a creative and evolutionary approach to language. Something I've been interested in for sure, but what makes me unconfortable is the context and rate this is happening. This isn't an evolution of like the word ol'correct to okay or groovey to cool to lit this is something else... almost 1984 or Animal house. Double speak, positive but when dealing with serious topics one should have the maturity to explore these ideas responsibly. To appease these advertisers (dictators) to ensure your video can get monetized (coorpratist content slavery) it's pretty dystopian. I could be out of touch and I play the game like everyone else. But I appreciate boundry pushing art I appreciate the exploration of culture... what I'm describing is a retraction I feel.
      EDIT: almost like Victorian era proper polite language you know? That's not an evolution.

      @@JarredCordova The big difference from 1984 is that the words are not redefined to mean complete opposite. The dictators/advertisers don't mandate that certain words mean one thing when they used to mean another. It's just a language game and it's not that serious. But I will agree that it does look somewhat dystopian.
      What interests me is that to the extent that these advertisers have any interest in people not using e.g. the r-word or not talking about it happening, it all comes down from society, from our collective sensibilities. The corporations only reflect what we want and all they want is making money. If you remember the "adpocalypse" of 2017 that started all this, it was about real people being upset about ads on ISIS videos. So you cannot be monetized if you show extreme violence or are a terrorist organization, that's fair. Now fast forward 7 years. It makes total sense to me that our collective sensibilities changed, morphed, elaborated. Now perhaps the same people are uncomfortable about corporations paying people discussing instances of r-word or whatnot or people profiting off of such discussions. And the change in language only reflects this dynamic.

      I appreciate it but I also think I'm somewhere in the middle here. I'll always do my best to get my videos monetized and try to make a living off of what I do but hopefully not at the expense of the best version of what I'm making. That being said I think people changing their vocabulary or censoring things to make it through the censors makes total sense. You're not losing much by doing that, although I do understand the sentiment that the more we move towards a digital world with art, content and culture, the more the way we speak and act can feel dystopian. I think the most egregious examples of this is seeing twitch streamers act like they are performing even off of stream, as if their brain is entirely coded by chat-logic as a result of being live such a significant portion of their life. But still, just with legacy tv shows pushing the boundaries of what network censors will let them get away with, I think it's the job of youtubers and tiktokers to make the best things they can while also figuring out the boundaries of what they need to self censor like saying "un-alive" which doesn't really bother me because I know what they are saying and they're avoiding trigger words whether for explicit content flags, or just emotionally triggering someone

      We slowed way down in New Mexico and Arizona and spent the most time there. I thought I'd like northern Cali the most but nope. Im a desert girl I guess. I dream about Arizona - specifically the high desert - all the time. It's my favourite place I've ever been tied with New Mexico

    Something important that you didn’t note here is someone else making money on your hard work just from 30 seconds. That’s the hard part. While deviating from your artistic intention for the sake of money might not be the goal it definitely is a sour feeling knowing someone else would be making that money with all that effort you put in. Glad you got it sorted my man.

    • @tallskeleton
      @tallskeleton  5 месяцев назад

      Completely agree Michael. There was a number of things I thought about saying I only remembered after i finished the video and this definitely was something I wanted to emphasize. Proportionate rev sharing from copyright claims maybe would be a good solution because even if the music rights holders took SOME of my monetization, that would be a much easier pill to swallow if it was not taking 100% of my earnings for a 30 second clip of a 1 hour video.

    I get the integrity angle. But dude we all know the song. Why lose money on keeping that specific sequence of sounds in. H3 plays the Monetization game. Why are you pointedly losing at the gane.

      I got my account whitelisted from the rights holders it’s monetized now
      I’d never do this intentionally
      But after making a successful video I think cutting a chunk out of it would risk it not even being successful anymore for all I know and then just a pointless grab at unguaranteed money

    • @ScottServais-poet
      @ScottServais-poet 5 месяцев назад +1

      @tallskeleton I feel like you can do a lot to mitigate that tho, like if you didn't get whitelisted, just mute it and say like *button song muted due to copyright*
      We all want you to succeed and that also means being duly financially rewarded.
      And trust me, as a viewer, unless you're changing the spirit or intention of your content, no body is going to care if you take steps to make sure your videos appease the almighty algorithm. It's not off-putting until it's painfully obvious shilling and algorithm/engagement baiting

      @tallskeleton okay that's understandable. And it sounds like you didn't have proper warning regarding the claim. My point remains, I feel like you're saying you'd jump on a grenade for us audience members for the sake of authenticity. I'm not saying that's stupid I'm just saying that we want you to be fairly compensated for your time and if there's a better middle ground between selling out and jumping on the grenade, then you should find it.

      to be honest its much more for myself than the audience. If Im putting out compromised work thats not as good as it could be it's hard for me to feel good about it. But I have delayed the releases of past video essays to be monetized and have won disputes against netflix and others@@ScottServais-poet
