The outpouring of support and the amazing comments from you all has been amazing and overwhelming. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I appreciate you all and will do my very best to continue to entertain through my videos. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Your The Best Dan 👍Hang in there Dude !
well spoken and well said Dan,
I upload most of my Japanese Robot mecha 2-in-1 stop-motion and instruction videos which are aimed specifically for adult collectors only because I spent I don't know how many hours I looked through my videos and I had to make some changes to them which makes me feel very, very, very sad. I enjoy sharing my Japanese robot mecha videos, Pokemon card videos and my Transformers videos on RUclips and sharing them with fellow adult collectors from various parts of the world. I understand where you're coming from I honestly do. what also upsets me is that no-one can comment on other adult collector's videos, etc. Its a terrible disaster.
Don't children website collect data?
Keep up the good work dan your masters of the universe videos are the high point of my day
There is also a petition about this approaching 200,000 signatures now: www.change.org/p/youtubers-and-viewers-unite-against-ftc-regulation
I left this comment for the FTC:
This regulation is a huge overreach that will have the effect of taking good things away from children, not helping them. This will hurt small, independent creators of content for children while having no effect on giant corporations who are big enough to get their own sponsors. Huge amounts of educational and entertaining content for children produced by these creators will be wiped out overnight by this rule. That is not good for the creators and not good for the children.
The internet presents wonderful opportunities for small, independent people who aren't wealthy to produce content and reach an audience that was impossible years ago. This rule is attacking the personalized advertising business model that makes that possible. Parents are the people who should be making the decisions on what their children can or can't watch. No rule should be passed that has the effect of removing content, taking away anybody's choice to watch it because it no longer exists.
Children are not being harmed because a video they watch happens to have an advertisement on it directed at children. Children's programming on TV obviously has lots of advertisements directed at children. All the FTC is doing here is attacking progress and a new technology. They're attacking a new and improved way of doing advertising that they do not seem to understand. They're not understanding how new business models on the internet have awakened opportunities for creativity and communication between vast numbers of creators and viewers that did not exist before. The FTC has no business getting in between people who want to create harmless videos and people who want to watch them and stopping them from exercising their free will. This rule is unnecessary government overreach that the American people did not vote for, did not ask for and do not want.
You can't be family friendly but you can't not be family friendly....yeah that makes sense.
Zach Lennon there’s a little sweet spot between family friendly and Being Demonetized that’s where you get to make money and interact with your audience unfortunately
mình chưa hiểu lắm câu trả lời của bạn
@@tuoithocuabe7794
Oh yeah, absolutely!
I got to be honest I never really thought about this channel as a kids channel more of just a channel for older collectors
Pretty much, I don't see kids interested in collectibles from 30-year-old video games.
It's not, but to ensure compliance, RUclips doesn't have much choice but to err on the conservative side when it comes to flagging this type of content. Besides, the situation would still be complicated for a creator like Dan who features both adult collectibles and actual toy products aimed at kids (even if he does both for an audience of adult collectors).
In all fairness, that's probably because the FTC isn't likely to disinguish between them either. To most of the general public outside the toy collecting bubble, toys are for kids and only kids
He does have a lot of kid fans though
yup i wouldnt have thought any kids today would watch channels like this. maybe the kids of adult collectors but not random kids watching 40 year old toy channel's
I have only had a few comments like this so far, but I still feel the need to address this. So consider this my blanket statement on the matter of “RUclipsrs whining about losing money.”
1) The perception of “this should be a hobby” and “this isn’t real work” is a really negative way to generalize content creators. It’s not fair to anyone who spends their time doing something they are passionate about, and you should really consider changing your outlook.
2) Not that this should matter at all, but I DO work a 40 hour/week job outside of my Pixel Dan job. I’ve been at this job for 16 years. But Pixel Dan is STILL a job. I spend just as much time, effort, and MONEY on this. And the government sure does tax me for having an independent business. So don’t come stomping in here like you know me and accuse me of “begging” or “whining about losing money.”
3) If your whole feeling is that I’m begging for money, you obviously did not pay attention to this video. This is not about just losing ads. The punishments are far greater. I have been on this platform making content since before making money was even a thing. I made content for a solid 5 years before I saw a dime. This is about much more than that.
4) Be better. Don’t be so quick to judge people. Everyone has passions, and we should be encouraging people to do the things they are passionate about.
That’s all. I shouldn’t waste my time on this, but I’m all fired up over protecting this thing that I care about so here we are.
Most of the comments are amazing, well thought out, and inspiring. And I thank you all for your continued support and your kind words.
Keep fighting Dan. Hang in there buddy.
We're behind you all the way
You have a job outside this social media pit, you're not begging for money. You never have. Those people are just being miserable.
Never give up. I've been watching your channel since almost the begining, when I had only a Wii running the RUclips app. Plus it's our best season yet, we still got a Slime & Figure line to work towards to! facebook.com/TheRealGhostCorps/
So you think that everyone who puts time into a passion of theirs should be paid for it? RUclips money sure has spoiled people
Once again parents taking no responsibility for what their kids watch.
Kill the parents
It has nuthing to do with content it's the data collection!
It's not about what the children are watching, it's about RUclips collecting data on them while they are watching the content.
@@scribblingjoe Its still on the parents! There is a RUclips KIDS for kids under 13 if parents are letting their under 13 kids on RUclips main its still on the parents. Either way, if parents let their kids on RUclips they are basically giving permission end of story.
RUclips has already done everything they can under the law, and the law is all about 'Parental Consent'; handing the device to a kid and _allowing_ that kid to watch RUclips sounds like consent to me. I don't understand what the problem is, smh.
I’m sorry Dan. Not one person I’ve interacted with has ever had a bad thing to say about you. I’m wishing you the best.
Bullshite! I have been complaining about his terrible hair cut for 3 days!!
thank you Nymanchild
I know a lot of people that will contradict your opinion of this chode.
Classic RUclips. Using a nuke when a scalpel is needed.
In this particular case, it doesn't really matter what RUclips does or doesn't do. If the FTC decides someone's in violation of COPPA, they're going to come after them and if RUclips gives specific advice over what is or is not safe, they're likely to risk somebody trying to hold them liable for that when the FTC disagrees and comes down on someone for something RUclips said would be approved. They're being vague and general because they don't know what the FTC will do any more than anyone else.
The only really defense, for RUclips and content creators is to err well on the side of caution and not post any content (at least without flagging it as kids only) that might possibly be considered to be aimed at kids in any way.
It's more like a Death Star laser
Well said!!!!!
don’t you mean a super nova when a scalpel is needed
no.... classic americuh!!!
“TOYS ARE FOR EVERYBODY” I love that. Dude, if you ever go solo lobo without RUclips, we will follow. 🐢💪🏼 Baby.
I'm hoping he does. I'm seeing fewer reasons to stay with RUclips.
Maybe dtube? Plus others...
Can someone explain to me why are the citizens getting punished for RUclips selling children's data to corperations?
@Hello There Trump was the one who allowed this to happen, he's no different than the Left. He is a DEMOCRAT. I told these ignorant Trump supporters that when Trump signed FOSTA / SESTA that this would be a slippery slope and it would eventually reach other social media platforms. Ignorant Trumpers called me a pedo and a pedo defender if I was against this bill. They're being hoodwinked just like the Left was under Obama. Trump used the SAME LIE to fool these gullible supporters too. This level of naivety is too hard to counteract. The people are too dumb down to figure any of this out. The government always pulls on the heart strings of their constituents to take more liberties and freedoms away. And in this case, this is what the Left and Right have done (using the same deceptive tactic) to infringe on your freedoms online :
*2A (Dems.) = We must regulate guns for the **KID'S SAKE** (school shootings)*
*1A (Reps.) = We must regulate the internet for the **KID'S SAKE** (child trafficking)*
Trump did say he was the LAW AND ORDER CANDIDATE, I guess we're starting to figure out what that means. He's pushing for more draconian laws and tighter regulations online under the guise of trying to stop child trafficking. No different than Obama using mass shootings to push for stricter gun laws. Folk are gonna get what they deserve for trusting any of these crooks in suits and ties in D.C.
Wishing the very best to all content creators & adult collectors.
As usual...."for the children" becomes the latest excuse to make sure the private creators get edged out.
I don't think youtube is deliberately out to marginalize content creators and harm their own profit, but neither do they care for kids. They do, however, care about the legal ramifications they've ushered on themselves through their greed
Welcome to the Chinese World Order
This "latest excuse" has been around for nearly 20 years! Content creators who are just finding out about COPPA are irresponsible idiots.
Im an adult, I like action figures, video games and comics.
Me to and alcohol and boobs😏
amen
They act like only kids is aloud to like action figures and comics etc
Michael G cause in America animation and other forms of art aren’t taken seriously.
Welcome to the real world, most people are conservative and to be conservative means to be against anything that doesn’t look like work.
Art is seen as that kiddie, hippie, liberal crap. So to other people, nerds are the enemy.
This is how things are to keep a faulty capitalist system running, everyone has to hate eachother. That an art needs to be commercialized to be seen as trash by the less educated public.
Also fun of any kind is against what being a hard working conservative capitalist is all about.
That’s why I never talk about anime in public or read manga or wear anything that shows I like anything related to Asian things. Cause it’s against the culture, and the culture needs to be sustained and anyone who isn’t for America or a conservative capitalist society is the enemy.
@@DaisukeKigurou I know like there is a show called rick and morty that is not a kid show it is more like a 14 year old
RUclips is getting worse and worse. We're with you,Dan. 100%.
Since they deleted all the conspiracy channels yt is borring
@@jimbeilaw4506 Confirming the Illuminati.
The internet isnt for children. Period.
Which is why channel creators shouldn't feel entitled to collect data from kids to push ads onto them. If you create content for kids, you shouldn't be collecting data or advertising to them anyway.
@@InvisiMan2006 Creators have zero control over data collecting and pushing ads onto children. It's RUclips's work. Creators don't have the experience OR tools to follow COPPA rules, period.
Kids should not be on youtube they ruined it
@@InvisiMan2006 Channel creators have zero choice in what RUclips does regarding their data collection and advertisement. It is corporations choosing to collect the data, NOT creators.
Yeah it’s for people 10+
This whole situation is a mess. It's unfair and unjust. However, there is a solution if people are willing to find it.
FTC coo was picked by trump. his name is ajit pai. ask him for a solution
@@underwaterlady That's the FCC. Completely different agency.
@@odowan cool.
I’ve been watching you’re videos since 2012 at the age of 8. You introduced me to ninja turtles, Masters of the Universe, and many other toy lines. You have introduced me to the world of collecting and this devastates me knowing that future kids won’t be able to discover you as I did.
Damn Dan I've been a fan for years ,I wouldn't have known of HE MAN classics if it wasn't for you
"I'm not going anywhere", manly tears were shed.
Who's cutting onions in here 😭😭😭😭
My god what a pansy. Nothing manly about it. If your wrists were anymore limp, they'd be broken.
Lucy, you're a jerk.
I'm not crying you're crying bro.
If you don't feel brave enough to be vulnerable because sometimes even men need to cry, then you have to ask yourself if you are an adult or a little boy trying to be one.
"Should we really be advertising to kids to begin with?" Well haven't they always? Cartoons always had toy commercials. Comic books had advertisements galore for all sorts of stuff. It's been this way for at least 80 years.
caomhan84 They still do. Tune in to any kids channel on TV.
When I was a kid I was attracted to hellraiser. No one fined new line cinema. This is b.s.
The movie was rated R, not PG13.
its just greed, nothing to do with protecting kids
We didn't have Liberal Dumbacrats in office like Osama Obama and Clinton who thought COPPA was a great idea. President Trump needs to get rid of COPPA but I don't ever see that happening.
New line cinema wasn’t tracking and selling your personal data. That is what COPPA prohibits and RUclips knowingly violated.
@@glorioskiola but the new coppa guidelines have nothing about tracking, its all about what might attract a certain audience, something that movies and music all get away with without being fined
I’ve been watching RUclips basically my whole life and it’s so sad to see how youtube is slowly destroying themselves
Its a federal law being forces on RUclips. Did you not heat about the 170 million fine?
While I haven't always agreed with the personal perspective of RUclips content creators, I agree with them all on this issue. RUclips is really screwing over creators because they don't want to work at finding a better solution. I'm a 45 year old married man with no kids, and most of the RUclips I watch centers around toys, comic book characters, and video games. I really think RUclips, like many other companies, has no idea how big the adult collector community is, and how much we enjoy interactivity. It's ridiculous, and there are probably more children watching PewDiePie, Jacksepticeye, Markiplier, and the like than there are watching toy channels, but you can bet all those guys will be safe.
I think even the big channels like the ones you just mentioned will be affected since this whole ordeal covers anything that kids might like, including videos by Markiplier or Pewdiepie. And of course whether or not the video is truly being aimed at kids or something kids would like doesn’t matter. That’s up to the discretion of RUclips and other higher ups. I find it funny how they don’t want videos that kids might like or are aimed at them but at the same time don’t want to us make videos that aren’t kid-friendly or that go against Google’s political views. And of course they’re vague about what we can and cannot do. I’d argue that nearly every channel on this website that makes videos is under threat due to this ruling.
100% this.
@@anthonyboodram608 i think you are right. After all, it's under the games section.. so i guess they will be affected as well.
We totally need a new youtube like platform. RUclips is to big. Its so hard to have a competition
You are in my mind,we need someone new as a platform and i believe it is time for at least some small channels to find a way out of there!
I smell a class action lawsuit comming!This is terrible.
It's been a law for 20 years.
I hope so
Hey everyone, if you are frustrated with the change please comment on the FTC page regarding COPPA. Also, a letter to your Senator could also help turn the tide!
You’re a good guy Dan. Don’t give up just yet. See how this plays out. Really have enjoyed your channel over the years. 👍
My channel is going to DIE
Games , comics , action figures , yea thats my whole youtube list ..:(
Mine too.
I'm getting worried.
Change your age on Google account to 15 or 16
nanakiamano HAH NERDD!!
Toys are not the only thing that could be affected. Toys, comics, games (video and board), Music, movies, and animations.
Yah. It's made youtube completely useless for me.
This was one of the first channels I ever saw on RUclips and to this day is one of the best toy related channels. Glad to see you are not giving up.
RUclips wasn’t going to last forever, I had a feeling since it’s beginning
tell us more about the future
@@alisonmadell2934 - Epstein comes back to tell us he didn't kill himself.
My parents always told me, when i was younger, that someday RUclips will stop and another site will come along. Well I never thought the end would be this ugly. And sadly it looks like there might not be another site for a while.
alison madell I believe that Netflix will go out of business as more and more people move to Disney + and Hulu. Disney will continue to buy more intellectual properties and possibly buy Netflix themselves when they are close to being broke and then liquidate the assets such as Stranger Things.
That is one of my futures
If a kid can’t search the kid channels, can they search the not for kid channels? Will anyone be able to surf anything?
they alreADY CAnnn
nancy kurtz Nope! Game over
"Kids" arent supposed to be on RUclips, you have to be 13 to make an account.
RUclips could fix all of this by just stopping the data collection and targeted ads. they wont.
Dan and others should just go and make their own websites, and collect no data. Obviously a toy website could attract toy ads or sponsorship without collecting if its kids or adults watching. Or even just make a $5 a year membership or something (Like Giantbomb did for their video game website).
I just wonder - if you come after toys, and games, and comics -- are you also goign after videos about ice cream? Justin Beiber videos? Kids music channels? Anything a kid is into right? So you could have Shell Silverstien reading his poetry on a video - and that should go away? the Giving Tree is aimed at kids!
I really see this as everyone should just abandon shitty RUclips and Google - they knowingly broke the law and made millions - literal crooks - as bad as any Mafia cartel. (minus some deaths I suppose, (or not?)). Just get a video platform that doesn't mine data!
@@squidracerX yeah, the COPPA rules basically say that catchy tunes and music along with cartoons, movie character and foods appealing to kids with also be targeted
@@squidracerX dont people have adblock?
RUclips is just going downhill, and their rules are getting dumber and dumber. I have a strong feeling almost everybody will be leaving this platform and going somewhere else to make their content.
It’s been hard to convince people to move before but this may be the straw that breaks the camel’s back
As Han solo once said, "I have a bad feeling about this."
@The Super Z-Channel I completely agree that's why I changed my channel to an adults channel. So I wont get into trouble with RUclips in 2020
Too bad, because they are gonna loose a lot of money and subscribers. Start all over again from 0 :D
Unfortunately, other video sharing sites will have to abide by the same rules as RUclips when it cones to laws like this.
you might not see this, but you honestly NEED to read the actual COPPA law, and then rewatch your video around the 10 min mark, but let me boil it down here...
NO CONTENT CREATOR can be in violation of COPPA, because NO CONTENT CREATOR has access to their viewers personal information, COPPA was created to prevent WEBSITE OPERATORS (owners, manager, webmasters) from collection first and last names, home address, social security number, telephone number, online contact information (email) etc. YOU as a content creator do NOT get access to that, you only get broad blind data that X% of your viewers are male / female, from this county or state, and are of XYZ age groups.
What happened in September was YT tried (and failed) to push blame on the creators when it was YT themselves collecting data, and YT is literally using scare tactics (and winning right now) by trying to convince content creators that this is all your fault and YOU are the only ones to be held liable going forward.
There WAS another FTC thing years ago called COPA which WAS about content, but that was literally shot down and squashed because it was deemed unconstitutional, COPPA since it's inception in 1998 was and is ONLY about collecting data from kids under 13, NOT any type of content, and if you read the actual stuff on the FTC website you will see NOTHING is changing, and nothing has been changed where COPPA is concerned.
You are 100% correct though the entire landscape of YT WILL be changing, and it's been changing for years now, YT does NOT (nor have they EVER) cared about homegrown creators, they used people like you since the site first opened to gain the viewerbase, but their end goal has always been mainstream creators IE TV, Movies, Music, News, and THAT is what they promote most, and that is what they only want on the platform, Mainstream is how YT can get the bigger ad money and that is all they care about.
This does NOT mean the end of homegrown content though, you simply need to leverage your audience off of youtube IE social media, make sure ALL of your viewers are following you on Twitter, Facebook etc, setup a Patreon to make up for your 60-90% loss of YT ad revenue after January, and everytime you post a video make sure you blast it to your socials and get as many followers to share those links, there will always be ways around RUclips's unfair practices, it's just going to take more work moving forward.
Then why does The Verge report that "Under COPPA, the FTC is entitled to seek $42,000 for each mislabeled video." What does that have to do with RUclips? RUclips cannot make the government fine people. That's the government's decision.
@@jedijones it's very simple, because RUclips made the claim, RUclips = GOOGLE, GOOGLE = a 'trusted company" and most "news" places are far too lazy to fact check these days.
Don't take my word for it though, goto the FTC website, type in COPPA and read the actual law for yourself, read how since 1998 there has only been TWO rounds of changes, and BOTH of those have been "wording changes" because of changing / changed tech IE 'online contact information" was extended to include an email address.
Also look and see that since 1998 only 33 violations have ever been enforced ALL to major companies because... as the law was written AND is enforced, COPPA ONLY APPLIES TO OPERATORS / OWNERS of ONLINE COMPANIES. NOT individuals who upload videos to RUclips.
The fine talk from RUclips and ALL who parrot it back to others is nothing more then a scare tactic from RUclips to help cover THEIR butts, IF your videos are NOT marked proper then RUclips will collect data from those videos and CAN be in violation again, so if they purge all those videos no more issues, don't want to have your video purged? Scare tactics will help change that.
Again, just read the actual law and NOT some vague as always crap RUclips sent via email and parroted in their 'official video'
@@3DLoki The law is one thing, how they enforce it is another. These bureaucrats themselves are admitting that these new enforcement tactics are GAME-CHANGING, see: Andrew Smith, director of the bureau of consumer protection: “we are holding a platform liable under COPPA for content posted by somebody else. That’s a really big deal. And if you think about all the platforms out there in the world and the economic power that they wield and the amount of content that they host, this is game changing.”
@@3DLoki The law should be updated though, since 1998 Internet wasn't nearly as big as it is now.
@@RB01.10 correct, and it HAS been updated, last time was... 2013-2014 if memory is correct (FTC site shows all the updates) but at the end of the day, COPPA is ONLY about collecting personal information from kids under 13, and THAT doesn't change no matter what changes the internet has gone through or how much it's grown, as new methods of tracking and collecting data pop up COPPA does get updated.
“You always have to adapt and push forward. That’s life. That’s the way business works. That’s just the way things go.”
I totally agree with you brother. As much as this will hurt a lot of people, we went into this platform initially not for the money, but for the passion. And there’s so much passion in you that I’m not worried. More power Pixel Dan! 💯💯💯
Get em Dan! I'm 34 and a ton of my friends my age love your channel. We will always support you and your plan sounds great moving forward! Good luck bro!
It's sad that bad parents have lead to us adults being punished... Unreal
and teens
In light of everything happening... I really appreciate the direction you're taking with the channel. By saying that things change and you'll adapt, you took the high road and are a great example for others about being calm in the midst of the storm.
This kind of seems like that Christmas special Santa Claus is coming to town. Where the mayor of the town bans toys. Seems that the FTC and RUclips wants to ban toys lol.
I honest think you and other toy reviewers, as well as any other content creators concerned about this, should get together on a vocal, protest campaign online to show everyone how this COPPA act is unreasonable and draconian. At least show up how they're trying to mess up honest workers by strangling their incomes.
But don't quit what you do, Dan. Keep fighting the good fight.
I guess it’s time to start putting up that disclaimer: *_THIS IS NOT A VIDEO DIRECTED AT KIDS. PLEASE DO NOT MARK IT AS SUCH._*
Handsome Robot Productions if they feel that it is, they’ll say you’re lying and FINE YOU
That's the problem with the laws being interpreted at the FTC's discretion. They get to decide who it's directed towards.
Maybe a disclaimer in the beginning; ‘Warning, content not for Children!’ But they’ll fine us anyway if a kid ‘might’ like it. Kids can be ‘‘attracted’ to alcohol, cigarettes, violent movies & porn too, so there’s no way to operate in this scenario...
@Frederick Delius Legacy - And Far Beyond
Clearly.
I think we’ve established that.
2019 - We are Content Creators
2020 - We are Babysitters
Me and my family are grateful for your content and look forward to many years to come! We love the Pixel Dan Channel!!
We will be here mr pixel dan to support you no matter what the government says. Thank you for all that you do.
Im not an american resident, so I dont know if any our petitions and votes add to anything.
But just know that from all across the world, we are with you, your videos, and your family.
You make toys great for everybody, and I really hope you can continue doing what you do best, make us all kids about new toys.
Also let’s not forget RUclips has RUclips kids but they decide to throw all of us and our favorite creators under the bus! So I say we try and let our voices be heard and fight this law! Sign the petition comment on FTC’s website but please be polite or they won’t listen to us! And please spread the word!
I’m sticking with ya, youtube or no youtube, wherever you go, another service, your own website, whatever, don’t quit.
Why doesn't stupid Coppa just target parents letting their kids use the internet? Kids shouldn't be on the internet to begin with!
Blame shifting.
Well said! ☺
Unsupervised lol
@@DarkAlex1978 should always be down to the parents... but where law is concerned there is never common sense
who is gonna stop a kid from accessing the internet. it's everywhere: schools, daycares, and activities
Nothing but love for you, sir. You are one of the best, most genuine people I know. Hugs!
I’m glad to see you standing your ground.
All RUclips had to do is tone down the data mining.
That's what they're doing, but they can't provide many of the features they do without data mining (which is why those features are going away for content that is tagged "for kids". The entire way the algorithm/targeted advertising/notifications/recommendations etc. works is by matching that stuff to your individually stored user information.
That said, even if RUclips does ramp down on that, it will still have no bearing on what the FTC does.
I would believe you except Facebook and about 50 other companies got in compliance. Why can't RUclips? Is it because they are using this to scare people onto their pay and view site?
You're missing my point, these steps they're taking will (theoretically at least) put them in compliance.
Orga777 I get paid to leave comments at d.tube and 3Speak. I pay out more than I bring in though. It is nice to see some come back in once in awhile.
We have watched you for years. The FTC guidelines will discourage creators from making family friendly content.
The FTC still won’t answer 1 question. Why are contextual ads better for kids than targeted ads? Targeted ads are usually more appropriate for the viewer.
Reagan deregulated that law, which brought us all the great eighties cartoons that were on some level an advertisement for a toy or game. That changed in 91 when the FTC decided that marketing to kids was a bad thing. And we're still feeling those effects.
Your channel is amazing. Can’t believe all these barriers that the FTC and RUclips are placing in front of you. Thank you for being strong.
RUclipsrs with content that includes toys, games, cartoons, etc need to unionize, hire council and file suit against RUclips or at the very least get a legal opinion and very clear set of guidelines on what you can and can't do. Love your channel, stay strong!
Yeah this is why I'm worried, my channel is all set as "not made for kids" as it's all about Nostalgia but I just know something is going to go wrong and it's going to be a struggle with us making the type of vids we do. My channel is definitely family friendly and my subscribers kids watch it...but it's not aimed at kids at all. Good luck to all of us nostalgia channels
Hi, we've been following your channel for years. I sincerely suggest you to change the settings to "made for kids" that's what we will do on our channel in a very similar situation. Ciao
@@lipranditoys oh I'm definitely not changing to made for kids as that would hide and block my channel, plus it's nostalgia aimed at adults
If I just label all my videos as "Not Made For Kids", will that lessen my risk of getting fined then?
@@RB01.10 as long as your videos are actually not aimed at kids
Odd Pod Oh, okay.
But isn’t labeling your videos not made for kids not as bad as saying they are for kids when they’re really not?
I have a few videos that feature clips from kids’ cartoons, and if I set them as “not made for kids”, should I reverse it then? Would it be trouble if I left it at that or is it better to change it to “made for kids”?
I’m so confused as many are.
RUclips should have taken the fall for this, I hope this changes, and i hope you can stay strong dan
Thanks for addressing the elephant in the room this is really a hard time for us all so going forward I am supporting channels as much as possible as we will all need it . Xx
Truly saddened by this news. Really wish someone finds a better solution to this matter. Will continue to stay tuned. Love your channel 👍👍
Wow. That’s crazy. I can’t believe that’s how RUclips handles their situations with creators. I really hope this works out for you and for others in a similar place.
Pixel Dan with his version of Leonardo Decaprio in “Wolf of Wallstreet” - “I’m not F’n leaving!!!!” 👍🏽
I just got back into toy collecting and it's heartbreaking to hear how these changes will undermine such great channels.
Good for you standing your ground. Too many people in modern society roll over instead of taking a stand.
Those people who gamed the system with videos like creepy Elsa and spider Man brought this out.
Yep.
This is true
What is that about? Curious to know what you are referring to.
They should make a third option, kid-friendly but not kid-targeted, like a "family friendly" option.
Yeah agreed, i mean its like if movie studios only could do G/PG and R/NC-17 Rated films, its either kid friendly or its not, but there is a middle ground with PG-13 films and there needs to be a middle ground for "PG-13" RUclipsrs that make content using toys or characters that are popular with kids
But they have kids youtube sooo wtf ?
@@georgemimaros9662 Kids RUclips is like some strange fever dream of messed up content. At least at one point.
@ ShadowWing Tronix They did mention that option at youtube studio.
@@eagc7 Yes that's what we need, some kind of middle ground, than people like me won't be screwed over by COPPA just because we fall into the middle ground.
That really sucks to hear man, hope things work out in the end.
Instead of nailing the content creators, RUclips should sue the Federal government and the FTC
Or, the Federal Government could make RUclips stop data mining their viewers for profit.
Parents need to be more responsible towards what there children are watching! It’s not our job!!!!
Is this still land of the free?! Naaaa never was
Land of control
Maddrop You're free to do what they allow you to do.
You are free to not use RUclips at any time.
Please point me to the amendment that guarantees your right to RUclips?
john basterson right to privacy is also not in a Amendment but it’s “implied” and don’t think they will make a amendment regarding a specific company do you know how hard it is to change amendments?
The next step is to make sure only kids can buy your book...
Seriously though, this is depressing. If your channel involves videos for children your channel is effectively banned. Really?!
FIGHT PIXEL DAN FIGHT
FIGHT DAN FIGHT
@@derek-64 Or Stop COPPA Stop.
@@Ezilla82 that, too
I’m a lawyer with a very small pop culture channel. You did an excellent job here laying it out! Hang in there it should work itself out over time. You are one of the greats and inspired me.
I have never watched a single one of your videos before this one. KEEP ON KEEPING YOUR HEAD UP, PixleDan! I support you.
PixleDan, your the man!
We need to organize and take it to the FTC with lawyers and petitions and everything ready to create our world the way we need it to be.
I’m glad to hear you’re not going away. I can’t imagine what all this is doing to you and your family and my heart goes out to you. I hope everything works out for the best.
I miss the good old days when kids played with Toys, now they play with cellphones and computers!
Saturday Morning cartoons are gone now as well.
@@jC-kc4si I feel ya pain. I use to see kids playing in the frontyard and backyard now there are not a single one outside
I still play with toys👍👊
I mean, where i live, kids do play outside with their toys, play sports and ride bikes.
This is what happens when something gets big enough to the point it becomes a corporation or is bought out by a corporation, it sooner or later conforms to the ways of the government because of lawsuits, fines and all that good stuff. It's times like this where I miss 2008 RUclips.
It's great that Pixel Dan came out to voice out. As RUclips moving forward a step they are going backwards 10 steps.
PixelDan, this is heartbreaking. I’m so sorry. I hope you continue and I’ll definitely follow you.
Yeah cause a toy collectible worth 75 ,100£ is for kids
@NoBrainer Languages damn good point well said
@NoBrainer Languages Well, data collection being illegal is ridiculous. You think Hasbro, Mattel or other companies don't have data on what kids like and what they're buying? Even libertarians like John Stossel aren't scared of data collection for the purposes of advertising. People like the fact that their computer can track their interests and give them ads relevant to their interests rather than random ads for adult diapers or whatever. These laws need to get with the 21st century. Targeted advertising is a huge benefit the internet gives for everybody and isn't harmful to anyone.
@NoBrainer Languages hey good said ! When my childs like to get toys or any other stuff which they saw somewhere maybe tv or youtube, I as a parent decide whether the childs get it or not, thats it - when I say no you wont get this and we will not going to buy this doesnt matter whether from your money or my money, you wont get it because............ than we dont buy it and thats it. My childs have to respect me. And I have to decide whats the best for my childs, yes this is not always easy but it works. So I wouldnt care how they collect this data, because I decide and say yes or no, I decide it not the advertisers, you know what I mean ? For me its better to watch ads in type of things which I am interested in and my opinion is this is also good for kids because then the dont see any stupid stuff. I know exactly what my childs watch on youtube, when I say you will not watch this because................... then they wont watch it. I tried it worked. I decide as a parent....
BTW my childs know that they are not allowed to create a youtube account so they will not make this until its allowed and they know what to do thats it, that parents responsibilty and this is good
Every time when we rent buy or rent a film over amazon. I say to my childs the one who click on the purchase have to pay it. Guess what happened ?
They said oh no I dont click because than I have to pay it, dad pleade can you gonna click and buy it so thats also a kind of parents responsibility.
...... sometimes they also click but as said the one who click have to pay for it for us to enjoy
@NoBrainer Languages It's organizations like the one in this link that are pushing this extreme anti-advertising ideology. They are apparently the ones who filed the complaint on RUclips with the FTC and they are continually lobbying the government to expand the powers of COPPA. They essentially sound like a socialist, anti-capitalism organization: commercialfreechildhood.org/
RUclips logic!
RUclips should have made it so that people have to be 14 years old in order to make an account
Error chara they have... you need to be 18... or sign up at 13-17 with parental permission... but kids lie.
Honestly - It wouldn’t be much of an issue if those Kids weren’t abusing anything on RUclips. I met 15-17 year old creators who put amazing effort into their videos. The only real issue is the parents.
It won't do anything. Trying to make it so kids don't watch RUclips won't work.
@@iambluepelt3904 Ruining the internet for adults wont work either.
@@edstar83 That's not what I meant to imply.
Correct me if I’m wrong but, if the “kid friendly” content will only be seen on the subscriber feed or on the channel, wouldn’t that mean that kids will only see non “kid friendly” videos in their recommendations and searches?
Yeah, sounds about right. Ironic.
In their searches perhaps, but they most likely won't see any recommendations at all.
This is so sad as a creator I'm in the same boat I feel your pain but we need to fight this ! We can be stronger together
Comics especially, sure Spider-Man and Avengers tend to be kid friendly, but Deadpool and Punisher are the definition of not kid friendly
We need an alternate youtube with servers or country thats outside of COPPA
Honestly, man...I think you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned "illeagal file sharing;" just like that nonsense, a year from now it's going to be over and not matter.
I do reviews on my channel of mostly horror and sci-fi related toys from movies that kids shouldn’t be watching. Can’t believe this is going to have to be an issue going forward
I feel terrible for you awesome creators, I went down a rabbit hole from craftsman to ac and now on to you. I wish you the best man and I hope you can proceed with your channel not having to worry about fines or censoring.
Hi Pixel Dan! Nice to meet ya, I enjoy and collect toys myself. I'm new to all this, and just want to share my content. Good luck brother! You got my support. This is my first time on the channel (must be the times) thanks for the info.
I’m shocked by the shortsightedness of the way this act is acted upon. I’ll keep watching and enjoying your videos as a 40 year old toy collector and will rewatch all your turtles stuff in the first months of next year, because I love those videos and I know they exist, even if they don’t show up any more. Hope this storm will pass quickly and that it won’t cost you too much. Keep up the good work Dan, and ad a disclaimer “13 years and older” to help your case. All the best!
Isn't there RUclips kids, damn you kids don't mess with my toy community
I sent I message on the official website and discussed this and specifically mentioned this kind of stuff
Oddly, I checked my YT analytics today, 200+ million views on my YT channel, the vast majority have always been under 18, though the videos were aimed at people who are older. Analytics now says that just 4.5% of total views come from kids🤔 It's kinda odd, but I have now hit the button to say that all my videos are for over 18s. I feel for all in the toy community and hope this is resolved asap.
Blatantly "all ages" educational content creators are in the same bind as well. I'm hoping RUclips and the FTC realize that "all ages" is a thing.
They are gonna mark this for kids since you're wearing a tmnt shirt. where does it end?
Omg I saw you in another COPPA comment 😂
This comment will be deleted in two months since "Marked for kids" means all the comments get zapped.
I'm moving to bitchute as a backup. I'd advise more to do the same.
Same
While alternative platforms are likely to get less initial attention, this issue is likely to follow content creators to whatever platform they use.
@@timf7413 not unless the company is independent and not corporately funded. This is a formula weve seen time and time again with companies both on and offline. You start as an independent company, then its bought off by a corporation then controlled by the government. After that you move to the next one. Hell tiktok is as if not more popular than Instagram now plus competition for Google and RUclips would be healthy. Imagine if bitchute is bought by Amazon? It be on par with the console wars.
That's what a lot of people aren't getting though. This has little to nothing to do with the platforms themselves and is more about how the government regulates this type of content online. Assuming they follow through with the announced crackdown (and it would be prudent to assume that they will.), it's going to have an impact on all platforms that collect any type of user data. (which is essentially all platforms that have any commercial upside whatsoever)
so many of my favorite channels are gonna be negatively affected
I dont wanna lose these creators.
😭
Imagine if the content creators strike!! As a viewer I’m down to go hang out at twitch until RUclips gets their stuff together.
So sad to see passionate and talented people like you getting screwed because of the greed of a few. Hoping something better comes out of this in the long run. Hang in there, because you are meant to do what you do!!
Dude you are truly my toy line you can’t go nowhere and if you ever start your own website I would follow you were ever you going
The creators of RUclips are as greedy as they come. Just disgusting, you and every other good toy channel deserve so much better treatment.
History is full circle; this reminds me of the morning cartoons in the 80’s
Dan, I mentioned your channel in my video on trying to decide the right way to comply with COPPA. I followed your link to the FTC site and left my comments. I also linked to your channel in my description. Thanks for the advice.
This is soooo asinine. Why should content for kids be unsearchable? As a parent, how am I supposed to be able to even find appropriate content for kids?
