So fucking downvote it. I know the thumbnail of puppies and kittens, along with the title of "this is specific clickbait for newtboy" can be misleading.

Did someone say whiskers on KITTENS? Happy Birthday wishes for you once again Scott

Happy birthday, Shep! I hope it's a beautiful one filled with origami, cherry blossoms, and visions of sugar plum fairies... and and raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...

Upvote just because the "make america kitten again" extension for chrome worked for the thumbnail, even though it wasn't a pic of Trump.

Exploding kittens just turns into me screaming over and over "NO, YOUR TURN IS OVER AFTER YOU DRAW A CARD. NO, YOU DREW A CARD NOW, NOW YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE YOUR TURN IS OVER. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S DIFFERENT FROM MOST CARD GAMES B/C YOU DRAWING ENDS YOUR TURN, IT'S LIKE RUSSIAN ROULETTE."

"I just drew a card, so can I..."

"END YOUR TURN? YES."

You can't pretend that all content is good content, though. Youtube needs to weed out the Isis recruitment videos and the kitten crushing, and they need to be able to reliably promise advertisers that their ads won't appear in front of that shit. YT has convinced creators that likes and views are actually what's important, but I bet YT can lose 100 large channels before they are willing to lose one large advertiser.

eric3579's link explains it, but there are options for advertisers who want to advertise on anything, regardless of content, and there are options for those who want to only stick to the approved material. Given the sheer volume of videos on YT, an automated system is necessary, and it's a good thing that they've now given users an option to appeal the non-monetization.

Youtube's advantage is not that they have content that isn't on tv, but that it's an established platform for viewing content on every device in existence. On the whole I think Youtube is still leveraging its significant power to provide a fairly open and unrestricted platform. If my company was being advertised there I'd probably want to have full freedom to choose the videos, and to demand, for example, that comments be turned off on every video with my ads.

It gets weird once you find out there aren't any real kittens involved. They're all figments of the videographer's imagination.

Wait until these kittens become adults.

I'm taking care of two 10 year old kittens right now myself. So adorable.

"Pixar says Hank the Octopus wasn't possible with the technology available 13 years ago for "Finding Nemo.""

Well... not really true, but it is quite good! I laughed out loud at the kitten poster gag.
