Hey guys and gals.

Be sure to check that YouTube hasn't automatically enabled Restricted Mode for you. Restricted Mode hides "potentially mature" content from your feed, so you may not even be aware of the videos you're missing from your subscribed channels.

To find it on desktop mode, click your profile picture and on the menu that pops up you'll find the Restricted Mode option further down.

Since August, YouTube has enabled all sorts of behind the scenes changes leading to drastic drops in viewership and just a lot of confusion over what a channel is allowed to do to keep videos visible. I hope this helps in some way. I'm just trying to get by but YT keeps making it harder for no good reason.

All the best,

Icarus.

Thanks, Icarus 👍 I never noticed that option, btw in Mobile it's located at Settings >General>Restricted Mod

Wasn't triggered for me but "No filter is 100% accurate" wow, damn, that is the first time I've seen a disclaimer like that, just like anywhere.

Thank you. I didn't know Restricted Mode existed. Luckily, when I checked, it was off so... nothing missing there.

Censorship is going out on us guys. If you want to keep the entire internet free, make a noise as loud as we can. Sign the Fair Banking legislations in your country, express you concerns with politicians and small business, and try to find more alternatives that don't play by the monopolies' rules. We have no time now.

Poll: how many of you could not read this post since you were in restricted mode?

Thanks Icarus. Unfortunately, I did know of it, and why they do it. But it sucks for you and all the other content creators on YT. No restricted mode here, so all good!

I would love a restricted mode but for ads

So, Youtube basically thinks we are children? Time to consume and upload content "made for kids".
