YouTube Gets Tougher On Sexual Content

A different change relates to new age restrictions.  YouTube claims that it's "tightening the standard for what is considered 'sexually suggestive,'" and clips fitting the definition will be "available only to viewers who are 18 or older."  But it'll be a rare boy who can't figure out how to type his way around that.

Finally, there is one move that will affect just about every YouTube content creator.  Instead of three thumbnail options being offered on the basis of their chronological standing in a clip, an algorithm will choose the trio of alternatives.  So there will be much less point in packing a video's most interesting visuals around the 25, 50, and 75 percent marks.

Let the wailing and gnashing of teeth begin.  Just remember: rending clothes may reduce your views.
