The YouTube platform restricts the spread of "Joker Card" videos on gambling reasons arouses dissatisfaction

The YouTube channel "Balatro University", which focuses on the game "Joker", shared a video about their personal experiences of the game on YouTube being labeled as suitable for viewing at a certain age, giving the reason that the game was accused of portraying gambling content.LocalThunk (LocalThunk), the developer of "The Joker", even commented on the situation, frustrated that his game has been mischaracterized.

On March 19, YouTube created a Terms of Service change for creators, "Portraits or Promotions of Online Casino Websites or Applications" may now be set to suit viewing at a certain age or older.It was a fairly common sense change, but "Balatro University" and other channels focused on "The Joker" found themselves in the storm.

The key is that setting an age limit for a video is almost equivalent to a death sentence, which seriously limits the possibility that the video will be recommended to the audience through the oil pipe algorithm.One problem that has always existed on the platform is that creators’ totally harmless videos will be inexplicably age-limited, and there seems to be no way to appeal.Summoning Salt, a well-known history blogger in Speedway, encountered this situation when he released a video about Mega Man.

What is especially mad at the fact that Joker Cards is not an "online casino website or app" and it is almost a deliberate act of ignorance.It doesn't have more or less luck than other card building games, and I bet the problem is that Joker uses a standard 52 playing cards and comes with a casino-cheap, banter-like banter, which makes it into the scope of some sort of algorithmic content review.

This is exactly the same as the struggle between "Joker Card" and European rating agency PEGI. PEGI previously insisted on labeling "Joker Card" as the age of 18 or above, and finally made concessions in February.But the highly automated black box mechanism of the oil pipe makes it difficult to have an equally happy ending in this situation.

"Balatro University" criticized the unfair application of the new rules on "The Joker" related content, because only one in six of their videos were set with age restrictions.They also explain the Kafka-like tossing when trying to appeal for age restrictions and the fact that it seems impossible to communicate with a real person and get a clear, personalized response throughout the process.

LocalThunk, the creator of "The Joker" even posted a view on the Bluesky platform, and it is understandable that he is annoyed by the repeated occurrence of this situation."It's great, we don't let the kids know what four (a type of playing cards) are, but let them watch the Counter-Strike unboxing video." He mentioned the small economic model that is related to gambling around the Counter-Strike weapon skins.
