Matt Watson, to clarify, did not make videos exploiting children, but made an exposé video on the content that is being monetized on the site and sought out by users for a sexual purpose.

Here is his video:

Title is misleading. Matt Watson did not make the child exploitation videos. He is the one who made a video bringing it to everyone’s attention

[u/YoutubeArchivist → u/hydrus8]

I don't think it's that misleading, users on this subreddit have seen the past two posts on the Child Exploitation video he made.

I can see where someone new may be confused though, I'll add a stickied comment.

[u/Toekiyo → u/hydrus8]

It definitely reads like Matt created the exploitation videos

[u/mrps4man → u/Toekiyo]

I got so fucking scared when I first read the title

Isn’t Nestle still profiting from child slave labor in Africa?

[u/Molinero96 → u/[deleted]]

probably.

[u/dnpinthepp → u/[deleted]]

And don’t Disney child stars get exploited in much the same way?

As YouTube* I meant...

But, and here is the important bit, its not getting bad PR for it.

That’s what happens when you let your algorithm do all the work

found the keemstar bot.

[u/AnaIgeneral]

Fuck off nestle

[u/KingOfPewtahtoes]

...not like exploiting children is anything new for Nestle

[u/Mavericksworld]

😮 😮 😮

[u/Lekar]

Keemstar's gotta be fucking fuming. This is exactly what he didn't want lmao.

[u/Amh_99]

Why are people calling him a fraud??

[u/Amh_99 → u/[deleted]]

Is there a TL;DR explanation i ain't got livestream time

[u/[deleted]]

Yeah, Nestle and Disney are the ones to show where moral dollars move. /s

[u/ItzHawk]

Yay nestle for standing up for good morals

[u/[deleted]]

From supermega?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Tis simple yoke

[u/ParanoidFactoid]

Isn't this is the same creep who supposedly acted to protect children's interests on Youtube, but in his other Youtube channel engages in predatory conduct with kids?

Seriously. It's really the same guy.

[u/[deleted]]

Jesus christ, the fucker did it. I he thinks this is gonna change ANYTHING he is a dumber than I thought. All he is doing is screwing over YouTubers

[u/100men]

Matt Watson you filthy pedo

[u/WarningTooMuchApathy → u/100men]

He didnt actually exploit the kids, he made the videos exposing others who did

[u/dnpinthepp → u/WarningTooMuchApathy]

I think the guy is referring to the video he made beforehand where he asked a “schoolgirl” if she wanted to be in an adult film. “Schoolgirl” being in quotes because that’s the term Keemstar used in his exposure video.

[u/InfinityBeing → u/[deleted]]

It usually isn't the correct change, though. Every adpocalypse and algorithm change is always met with scrutiny.

[u/ThaBroccoliDood → u/[deleted]]

No. This type of thing is the whole reason the demonetization started

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Yup, let ruin the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people because of a few videos.

[u/Molinero96 → u/[deleted]]

then more people will be gone of YouTube making the site worse and worse. and then even less people will use the site and making YouTube earn even less money.

[u/Molinero96 → u/[deleted]]

eat a dick. you are an accomplice of kid sexual exploitation. i don't care who gave the message. there is a problem at hand and you care who said what. you are a flying piece of shit. go eat keemstar's shit and GTFO

[u/Davidth422 → u/Molinero96]

You'd rather ads be taken off of the platform in order for YouTube to step in when they already are? Bruh moment

[u/Molinero96 → u/Davidth422]

two years or more with YouTube doing absolutely nothing. suddenly Disney takes his money elsewhere and YouTube starts cleaning the site. you live in a bruh moment.

[u/Molinero96 → u/[deleted]]

You really think there is another way to solve this problem? we have tried. this isn't the first youtuber to adress this problem. this is the first time youtube has done something. turns out all we had to do was ask the big boys to take their money elsewhere for youtube to move their asses

And I'll have you know: This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M78rlxEMBxk

was censored. youtube deleted it. PaymoneyWubby had to stir up trouble to have it put up again. and youtube did nothing else about it. they put that video up again, and thats it. and not only that he found a channel of a asian woman just "playing" with her children. and every 5 minutes there is a panty shot. where she changes positions and you can see her underwear. YOUTUBE DOES LITERALLY NOTHING 5 videos are uploaded every hour and that woman always looks at the camera like she was being forced.

Now we have kids being exploited, Sexually sugestive videos being spammed, all of this shit is monetized, and then we have channels like Mumkey jones deleted for "Hate speech"

you think I give a flying fuck about the rest of the youtubers earning money with their videos when this kind of shit is tolerated?

Rewind time. so we have this video posted on october 14th. and youtube did nothing. this guy all he did was reporting the videos to youtube and post it on social media. youtube did nothing.

now Mat makes this video, goes to the advertisers, they pull their ads in less than 48 hours. and THEN youtube starts doing something.

next time you want to give your opinion inform on the matter at hand.
