Yeah. YouTube is just a platform, and sadly due to the economies of scale it's very difficult to pierce that.
... Until AWS tries. Oh man, if they were to tackle video hosting/streaming, along with content curation... well, we'd be in the hands of another megacorp, but AWS is pretty good about just being a platform... I think.

Jenny Nicholson makes the Avatar theme park sound really racist in that way where the creators half tried to make it not racist and didn't think of the unfortunate implications of what they were doing.
You are a tourist visiting Pandora using a Not Evil company. There are no Navi dressup people in it so you get a ton of people explaining how the Navi who are not there are totally fine with tourists and treating their culture as a tourist attraction. Rides have stories like going on a tourist excursion that is completing the important rite where you ride one of those dragon things using an avatar because there are no real world parallels with doing an important ritual that another culture has as a tourist just looking for a nice thrill. They are getting ??? in return for this. This all comes off as the sort of thing that receives a huge amount of criticism when it actually happens in real life and often considered kind of racist if not done extremely carefully.

They can (and have) curate their content. They can (and have, for others) ban these douches. That they choose not to makes them part of the problem.
The bigot Pewdiepie mentioned and linked to says a video was late because he feared Youtube would get mad at him for using a nickname based on a racial slur for L in the Netflix movie so he had to change it.
In the video description of the Death Note video essay Kjellberg promoted, E;R posts: “The truth about why this took so long is because I thought it was so funny to call Black L “Niglet” throughout all my recordings (obviously because it’s an ingenious pun on Lawliet [pronounced Law-let]). I eventually got it through my thick fucking skull that YouTube’s looking for A N Y reason, so I redid all the audio to erase my speech crime, but then I got bored and put the project on pause.”
Just admitting that should be grounds for getting banned from a site.

I guess the obvious alternative is to have an animatronic indigenous navi telling you how it's okay to appropriate their culture and use their rituals as a tourist attraction.
Maybe it's just not the kind of thing you want an attraction for?

It's one of the biggest self owns I've ever seen????
It's not a self own because his fans are also racist and are just gonna be mad at the SJWs running YouTube that he can't say the funny joke where he calls the character a slur.

Well an attraction that lets people pretend they're on the avatar world doing avatar things is what people have been clamoring for but that framing device is garbage for sure
I want an algorothmically generated Youtube Rewind. Just a horrific Deep Mind neural network generated series of phrases and images loosely based on inputting your preferred creators. Rainbow Hbomberguy with skulls on every inch of exposed skin saying not-words in a combination of Lindsay Ellis and Dan Olson's "reading dumb internet comments" voiced.
I just want YouTube rewind to have an tiktok ad every 10 senconds, cos that would sum up Youtube this year for me.
Imagine any other broadcaster in the world keeping a neo nazi around just because they got good ratings.
Like even Fox would boot Hannity if he was dumb enough to openly endorse a white suprema- aah I bet this has already happened I feel like a fool already

I'm not sure what "just being a platform" means in that context?
I am not Athenor and do not presume to speak for them, but my impression is that unlike, say, most television channels, which have very specific "brands" that flow through most/all of the media they present, YouTube is "just a platform" for uploading videos. Anyone can upload a video to YouTube. That's the premise. There is no unifying theme. It's just... whatever people collectively choose to put on it. So trying to put a "face" on YouTube by means of the YouTube Rewind is somewhat of a fool's errand.
Just my take on it.

This is pretty accurate! Google is trying to have its cake and eat it too, providing a platform anyone can upload to but automating curation and moderation... Which is a fool's errand. My understanding (and I may be COMPLETELY wrong here) is that AWS just provides infrastructure and a platform to host whatever apps on it, so if Amazon could provide a video streaming platform very much like YouTube. Or, they could curate it to a degree - a smaller population, human moderation, all the rest. But if AWS just wanted to provide the hosting site, they are pretty good at that and can run with Google.
I openly admit I'm completely off-base... but in my mind, google wants to sell advertising, Amazon wants to sell goods. Selling goods requires a good reputation (usually... I'm looking at you, Valve), so if they were to offer a YouTube like service, it would be aimed at selling more goods, and thus they'd want to retain a good reputation.
I remember thinking that Skibidi was too self consciously zany and clearly a cynical grab for "isn't this zany?!?!??!" youtube fame and oh look, 93 million views go and sit down Tube.

All I know is that this dumb song is probably going to be stuck in my head tomorrow. Then Im going to come home and watch again :rotate:
This is not a pleasant video, it's quite disturbing to watch.
But I think it's still valuable to watch and learn about.
Force fed to be fat: Some Mauritanian communities believe that the fatter girls look the wealthier and more attractive they appear to men. Sahar Zand meets the families force feeding their young girls a 9,000 calorie-a-day diet during a brutal "feeding season" in Mauritania. Growing up in a poor country, that's going through a devastating drought, means that marrying well is crucial and mothers believe getting fat will increase the chances of a happy union. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM2q7XFOOgg
