What’s Youtube originals?

They made a single season of an Egoraptor esports sitcom, which I think is the only thing by them I’ve watched.

A bunch of original series that were produced for YouTube’s premium service, YouTube Red.

The only one that survived was Cobra Kai, which was picked up by Netflix. The rest–which included shows featuring PewDiePie and MatPat–were cancelled due to their creators’ respective controversies.

Some were also just phased out as YouTube decided it didn’t want to be in that business.

Good Game was just canceled as a series, not because Danny and Arin had any issues.

Good Mythical Morning was a show prior to being a YT Original, was one for a few seasons, and is still going independantly.

I think Slo-mo guys were an Original for a while?

IIRC, they did specials as a side thing, and didn’t stop their main channel.

The one I know about is “Run, BIGBANG Scout!” a YouTube Premium exclusive variety show with the KPop group BIGBANG. It was so long ago now that the members have finished their military service. Also one of the members has since been kicked out of the group, found guilty of crimes, and sentenced to three years in prison.

I watched the first two seasons of Impulse, which was a YouTube Premium show.

While it wasn’t the greatest show I’d ever seen, especially for a show about teens with superpowers, it was at least as good as the majority of the CW shows, and better than some of the non-Disney+ Marvel shows like Agents of SHIELD, Inhumans, and others.

They should have made the announcement on April 1st.

I wonder if this will mean we can make anime/manga videos and pre-emptively block them from Japan to avoid copyright issues?

I’ve been watching TNM for the past couple of years. His blind reviews of manga are top-notch content I look forward to every week. I’m glad things turned out well for him.

I only just found out about him through DBCember, seems like a chill dude.

So, another anime reviewer I regularly watch, Suede, has received something worse than what happened to Mark: a SLAPP from ShoPro as well as a hefty fine.

In case anyone wondered why we stopped making anime videos, stopped doing anime panels (we can’t put them on youtube…) and never continued the Utena show.

That’s a big one.

I need to do some research on the specifics of these GDRP data transfer rules as they are becoming a much bigger deal now. Either way, glad to see the hurt being put onto Google as well as Facebook. I’m already removing all Google, and other, analytics from all my sites. I never looked at the data anyway, why collect it? There’s a really easy way to comply with privacy laws. Don’t gather people’s data in the first place. You don’t need a cookie pop-up if you just don’t use any.

This is YouTube’s new policy, I guess.
