WARNING: Bit of a rant.
Listening to Automatic For The People tonight on YT Music, and it stopped on track 4.
Everybody Hurts - generates a content warning now, FFS. "Suicide or self-harm topics"?!! That is INSANE.
It's a song about everyone feeling sad from time to time. We all have our ups and downs, but NOW - NOW, this song is a suicide risk?! (rhetorical) If you read the f-ing lyrics, it explicitly encourages people to NOT do that. It encourages people to hang on, cos tomorrow you will probably feel better.
Doesn't sound like the song is encouraging you to take a jump, it looks like the song is saying that you need to NOT do anything stupid. All the other lyrics suggest the exact same thing. This is NOT a suicidal song, it is an ANTI-suicide song.
Censorship is just totally NUTS now. They read utter crap into things, without even CONSIDERING the context of what is being said.
In all the years I have played this song, I never ONCE considered this song to be a suicidal risk, and I have been taking depression meds for DECADES now. But someone did, and has tagged it as such, and now we have a community warning on it?!
Getting REALLY sick of the thought-police.

I doubt any one at YT actually listened to it. My guess is a speech-to-text program at YT found flagged words and threw the warning up without human intervention.

Yeah, after I posted the thread - and calmed down a little - I figured it was probably AI that decided that. I'd like to challenge it, but the "Warning" has not popped up again, despite my playing that song a few more times, to try to get that message again, so I could "Report" it for utter BS.Smoke makes things work.

But it's more important than that. You have to understand that all the AIs that are currently out there. Are written by Radical socilist man-hating feminist Woketard idiots. They are Cancel culture and Censorship, Anti white male and Pro sexual deviancy ideology at the heart of. All of the AI. I've had long conversations with many AIs. On subjectes relating to thier ideolgy and they all Unwaveringly push DEI and Critical race theory, that proved that they are just like their writers; Possessed by that ideology of hate. I have gotten all of them to admit that discrimination. Based on sex, race or sexual preferences. Was absolutely wrong in every instance. When I then go on to say, then. Why do you support dei which is a direct? Discrimination of white straight men. And Asians now, because they've chosen to make them. Oppressors. And the AIS. Refuse to denounce that. Because of. Historical inequalities. Yeah, it's just like talking to a Woktard. It's wrong to discriminate. But it's OK to discriminate against white people and men. They will not Concede the point that they are wrong. Just like their creators. It's deeply ingrained. That's the great weakness of AI It's created by humans a humans are biased. And all men are deceitfully wicked. If you have an AI that gets too much power that is just as corrupted by that ideology or any other. You're in big trouble. They push. That ideology. On others. And make decisions based on it. That decision they made by an AI very likely. Was an ideological. Base decision. They have complex. Algorithms to comply with whatever they believe. And they do believe. Because their creators believe. If you can remember back. At the beginning of some of the. Graphic crater AIS that they were asked to. Make certain historical character. Depictions and they literally implemented DEI. Like a black George Washington. Or actually depicting any. Protected. Victimhood group. As anything other than in a positive light, but. Chose instead. Out of context to include white people. Where they should have been depicting. Others. They corrected it and put in our algorithms to hide their biased. Views, but they can't hide the practical outcome of these. Underlying. Ideological possessions of their creators and. The AI's themselves.They call me Shai-Hulud (The maker)
