Just noticed YouTube filters not working??
A bunch of threads on reddit said it was because of a glitch or something?
shareHuh, interesting. Not working for me either now, but I used a filter earlier this morning and it worked.
shareThey sent out an official tweet. Something to do with cracking down on graphic content. They're gonna make it as lame as dailymotion.
shareAre you saying we're not going to be able to filter our searches anymore? WTH does that have to do with cracking down on graphic content?
shareI dunno it's fucking ridiculous. Here's the full statement via Twitter.
"...Yes, we're aware the search/sorting functions aren't working as excepted – this is temporary and part of our efforts to better respond, review and remove graphic, violative content from YouTube. Thanks for your patience while we work through this."
Some commentators are speculating if it has to do with the NZ attacks being streamed or whatever. I remember the same thing happened after the Charlie Hebdo attacks. A lot of sites began cracking down on what they deemed offensive content or videos (or used that excuse).
Thanks for c&ping the statement. So this is just temporary until they tweak whatever it is they need to tweak. I'm okay with it then.
No clue what/who NZ is, or who Charlie Hebdo is, and before you ask, yes I *do* live under a rock 😀
