I dunno, it just feels like taking your kid to a pg13 movie and then complaining that it had pg13 content. Why does YouTube have a responsibility to keep everything clean for people who shouldn’t be there to begin with?

“Because people seem to be in a bit of a hysteria over this COPPA thing, I am going to be making a video about this. It's not going to stop Nick-O-Rama, but I am moving day one back to December 1st. I'm still hoping to get all of the videos *done* by the end of December at least.”

“Google/YouTube. lost 170 million dollars for violating COPPA. It sounds like a lot, but Google as a company earns that amount of money in 14 hours. This was their fine for breaking the law for *years*”

I feel like they should be forced to, it's human nature and if they don't want to take responsibility for their own actions, they shouldn't even be allowed to spawn to begin with, let alone raise a child.
Oh and Enter should be worried about COPPA. I don't get why he isn't considering his material isn't for kids, yet the guidelines on the documents imply that anything with animation in it is for kids. Is he simply trying to cash in on this craze? Or is he just being contrarian because he thinks he's smart than the (understandably) freaked out majority?

Don't the guidelines say that anything that is "attractive" to kids (whatever the heck that even means) is going to be designated as "for kids" and you'll be penalized for it?

BTW: Here's that exact conference:
FTC Press Conference on Settlement With Google / YouTube
The official website of the Federal Trade Commission, protecting America’s consumers for over 100 years.
Personally, I'm still very confused over this entire clusterfuck with COPPA. It seems like every person talking about this is either intending to cause panic throughout the entire website or hasn't bothered to do enough research on the topic. Is the panic from Chadtronic legitimate or is it all just a bunch of fear mongering bullshit?

Here's the thing: from what I understand the FTC is an underfunded organization. They don't have the resources to go through every channel and observe every video ever uploaded in addition to their usual workload. Also as Enter says the guidelines say "up to 42,000". Up to is not the same as they will. And they're not going to sue every single content creator they feel violates COPPA since as Rekeita has stressed multiple times on his show lawsuits are absolute money sinks and can take years before a verdict is reached (and thats not even counting any appeals). So the way I see it getting the FTC involved will be a very rare occurence.BTW: Here's that exact conference:

This isn’t about content, it’s about advertising, and it effects all forms of media. There’s a reason why a show like My Little Pony or Transformers, cartoons created solely to sell toys, don’t actually sell said toys in the show itself. It’s illegal to market to children in such a non-transparent way. You can have a commercial of the toy air in the commercial break spot when the show airs, but it has to obviously be a commercial.
The issue here is that youtube was collecting data on children’s web browsing and using that to serve up advertisements based on their interests. That way Hasbro knew little Billy loved watching videos around Transformers(it whatever Hasbro property). This is especially insidious for toy review channels that work essentially as commercials. Youtube was recommending kids to watch you reviews that had affiliate links for where to buy the toy.
Did you ever wonder why you don’t see similar sponsored content to what a dollar shave club or blue apron is on kiddie content? Because that’s direct advertising and a federal crime. So youtube forcing those who make this kind of content to be accountable is the legally responsible thing to do.
beyond any of that, it’ll effect basically no one. Cartoon reviewers, game reviewers etc, they’ll be fine. It’s another instance of youtube idiots reacting for clicks without actually understanding the topic

Slightly off-topic, but how do shows like Beyblade, Bakugan, Chaotic, ect get around this? Those revolve around toys in-universe that the characters can buy and each episode of those types of shows are advertisements for the product.
Sorry for the dumb question, I'm unfamiliar with advertising regulations.

I actually explained it with my Transformers/MLP analogy. These shows are definitely toy commercials at heart, but they don’t actually advertise the toy itself in the show. The Captain Beyblade(never seem the show, sorry) never pauses to tell you how much the beyblade costs and that you can buy it now at your local toy store. So long as you aren’t directly marketing the product in show, you can get away with it

Even on DeviantArt, it's telling that most of his GA posts only get about two or three comments on average... out of 9.3 thousand followers. Most of them probably got tired of Enter's circling years ago and might not bother with GA again unless a substantial animation effort starts up.

Sounds about right. Most of them are either jobless kids that haven't grown up yet, or fellow speds with restricted tugboats.

“I love it how so many people are saying "if COPPA passes as is..." "these new changes to COPPA." Guys... the law itself isn't changed/updating. It also passed in 1998. COPPA as a law isn't changing. Just how the FTC is dealing with YouTube is changing.”

He says this like it's going to make any difference and it's going to make people less afraid. "Oh, it's not the law ITSELF that's changing. It's just YOUTUBE that's facing radical changes to the point of financially crippling everyone who talks about cartoons." Typical autism, addressing one minor detail that's technically wrong and assuming it invalidates the entire argument.
And of course, he doesn't comment on what these changes to the system would mean for "Growing Around," the self-proclaimed children's cartoon, because deep down, he knows the change will only gives him more validation to not finish it. Now GA has even less hope of making it's money back, and his biggest source of approval (YouTube's comment section) will be out of reach, so why bother?

Because when I'm looking for YouTube financial advice, I'd obviously listen to the high school dropout whose channel is currently dying too.

As long as hes halted his hatred for the writers. He surely enjoyed blaming bad episodes on them. I'll likely not watch his reviews though as I haven't watched any Mr. Enter videos in over 6-7 months. Or longer.
There were some pretty bad spongebob episodes, but he acted like those episodes were like a personal attack.

I mean, this is the sped who got PTSD because a pony got angry. Of course every episode of Spongebob he hates is the writers directly attacking him just because of his critiques and Growing Around.
