Youtube demonetization everyone can get behind.

Pinterest is a step ahead TBH. Straight up no results when you search vaccine on there.

All the moms on my FB are posting warnings about the Momo Challenge going around YouTube. I guess it’s some creepy figure type thing that hides in rather normal kids videos and then pops up telling them how to kill themselves and I guess YouTube is trying to delete the videos but more are appearing daily. Now normally I just chalk this up to typical mom hysteria but given what we’ve been seeing with the pedo stuff on YT I could definitely see it happening.

Didn't something like that do the rounds in russia and it's nothing but the equivalent of an urban legend.

[Salodin]

I'm glad this nonsense is making parents think twice about just parking their 6 year old in front of a tablet indefinitely though.

Now I wish Facebook would start cracking down on anti-vaxxing nonsense.

The leading cause of death among 10-15 year olds is Youtube creepypasta.

It was a thing 6 months ago. Apparently it's a video game character.

Media coverage has a way of turning fiction to reality, see: Tide Pods

I dunno if it's a game character, but saw on Philly D's report it was a sculpture made in Japan. Spoiling cause prolly NSFW and genuinely creepy.

Spoiler: show

Looks like a harpy without wings.

Holy shit... actually just saw this in action I think. A relatively harmless video that hadn't had comments disabled last weekend all of a sudden was this morning. Was wondering why but yeah 10 second of a girl riding a bike sounds like the culprit

Guess not surprised youtube went full nuclear option. Wonder how this will hurt channels and viewership and by extension content
