I was casually watching some Bijuu Mike and saw this video. I'm asking all of you to please, see this..

There's been a whole lot of mess between the F.T.C and YouTube and thus could fatally affect all of our favorite content creators, like Markiplier, Laurenzside, Coryxkenshin, Pewdiepie ect. The issue taking place currently could end these people's careers from how bad it's gotten.
The F.T.C is fining YouTube for having the information of people under 13 (which is an illegal and break the rules of COPPA ) They have then forced YouTube to make a CM (community guideline) saying that all YouTuber's should state whether their channel is :
1. Completely child friendly
2. Made specifically for adults
3. Or all of their videos resemble either of the two - this would mean ,they would have to set EVERY SINGLE VIDEO to one if those two options or else the YouTubers can get fined from 60-90% of their money from a video to video basis , this can been through ads
This is horrendous because this will inevitably discourage any content ,and stop many Youtubers from uploading, maybe going as far as to delete their channel. I myself am concerned that the F.T.C is as Bijuu said ,"putting their hand in something that isn't the business". Furthermore the F.T.C claim their are doing this to make YouTube child-friendly. There is already a FREE YouTube Kids app where all content is suitable for 12 and under.
