    if we could just get rid of the idiots waving flags and bibles… it’s almost as if they’re destroying the entire world with their ignorance.

      How about destroying the people actually responsible? You know, like those who gave them those flags and bibles, and created the systems that indoctrinate them in to blindly worshiping both?

      And also not being ableist while we’re at it… (E: better link)

        the ignorant masses are the one actually responsible. they want bibles and flags. the grifters making a profit off of it would be easily legislated into oblivion if there weren’t masses of cruel idiots that provide a support base.

        and if calling stupid out is ableist, then i’m un-apolegetically guilty of being ableist.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Content creators have spent the past five years developing new tactics to evade YouTube’s policies blocking monetization of videos making false claims about climate change, a report from a nonprofit advocacy group, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), warned Tuesday.

    Verified by researchers, the AI model used was judged accurate in labeling climate-denial content approximately 78 percent of the time.

    But a spokesperson confirmed to Ars that the majority of videos that the CCDH found were considered compliant with YouTube’s ad policies.

    Currently, YouTube’s policy prohibits monetization of content “that contradicts well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change.”

    The group recommended tweaking the policy to instead specify that YouTube prohibits content “that contradicts the authoritative scientific consensus on the causes, impacts, and solutions to climate change.”

    “It is vital that those advocating for action to avert climate disaster take note of this substantial shift from denial of anthropogenic climate change to undermining trust in both solutions and science itself, and shift our focus, our resources and our counternarratives accordingly,” the CCDH’s report said, adding that “demonetizing climate-denial” content “removes the economic incentives underpinning its creation and protects advertisers from bankrolling harmful content.”

    Yeah YouTube monetizes anything with a drama clickbait title, ghost-dick-in-the-mouth-face, red arrow and circle bullshit. But then again, people click on it, so it’s our own fault. It’s just like that seo crap, people fall for it and rotten people know how to game the system.
