Re: (YtcommunitYJ Re: Private videos

Subject:

Adding MR, who should be able to solve the mystery. I think she's PMing this feature.
What I heard is the same as what Misty and Julie are saying - we limited the Private Videos Share functionality because the general YT policy has shifted to be, "Never police anything pro-actively, all content reviews should be

reactive." That's my paraphrasing of it, but that's why we no use the
Private Videos review queue in Admin - now we only review private videos if we get notified of an issue with a specific video/user/group.
I think porn (esp. child porn) was the bigger concern over copyright (which is, in theory, mostly addressed by the 1 O-min upload limit Julie mentioned).

MR - Can you confirm the official story?

Thanks,

V:)

;, ;, ;, )0 ;, i am sorry to bother you, but i was wondering if you could tell me )0 )0 )0 )0 )0 why YouTube has so drastically changed it's Private video settings? i mean, )0 ;, ;, ;, ;, now if a video is private we can only let 25 people at a time have access to ;, ;, ;, ;, )0 it? One of the things i like doing is making most of my vids private and )0 )0 )0 )0 )0 then allowing only my subscribers to see them; now that's not an option. I )0 ;, ;, ;, ;, was wondering if there was something I could do or write to in order to see ;, ;, ;, ;, ;, if I could have the power to allow just my subscribers to see my private )0 )0 )0 )0 )0 vids? Please help me if you can; you're the only one I've written to at ;, ;, ;, ;, ;, YouTube who ever seems to respond to me directly.
