KEEMSTAR calls out YouTube for new policy on \u2018abusive\u2019 Super Chats YouTuber and Drama Alert host Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem is calling out YouTube for its new policy on contributions from \u2018abusive\u2019 Super Chats. He posted a screenshot from an article detailing YouTube\u2019s updated terms of service regarding its Super Chat system, which allows users to purchase a special, highlighted message that stays pinned to a video\u2019s live chat for a limited period of time. The article explained that YouTube will now send the revenue from any \u2018abusive\u2019 commenters who purchase a Super Chat to a charity of their choosing, instead of splitting the amount between itself and the creator. \u201cIf a user is caught sending abusive Super Chats, the revenue received will be donated to charity instead of being split between YouTube and the channel\u2019s creator,\u201d the statement read. \u201cIf youtube deems your superchat to be offensive, it will be giving it to a charity instead of splitting it with the creator\u201d Really @TeamYouTube ? Unreal! pic.twitter.com\/FqmWGvJW4n \u2014 KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) October 20, 2018 KEEMSTAR took issue with this development in his Tweet, which he called \u2018unreal.\u2019 Other users across Twitter are similarly up in arms about the change. \u201c\u2026it\u2019s a major YIKES!,\u201d one user commented. \u201cYouTube is taking money from someone who wanted to support YOU #nobueno\u201d Some YouTubers are calling for a boycott of the service, as suggested by controversial IRL streamer Ice Poseidon, who suggested that KEEMSTAR disable Super Chats altogether. \u201cYou could just disable Super Chat and force people to use streamlabs, easy fix to that and gives YouTube reason to fuck off with this change,\u201d he replied. U could just disable superchat and force people to use streamlabs, ez fix to that and Gives YouTube reason to fuck off with this change lol \u2014 Ice_Poseidon (@REALIcePoseidon) October 20, 2018 Others are suggesting that the change may be an incentive for creators to control the behavior of their audience by placing a potential risk on their pocketbooks. Whatever the case, the change has largely been met with open dissent. Other major YouTubers on the platform have yet to speak on the development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
