YouTube sucks right now. Let’s age restrict a game that isn’t about gambling but let’s send our users ads with gambling and PORN.

Ah yes Balatro is 18+ but marvel rivals has essentially nude characters and is T
ICanOnlySayOneWord
Why?

It’s the banana. That particular motion with a banana is a common euphemism for sucking cock.

This is so hypocritical
So shooting, killing, and stabbing its all fine for kids…. but cards are not
Not even talking about lootboxes, microtransactions, coins etc etc etc

Phew. Glad my AI-generated, maggot-ridden, cartoon cat gore videos on YT Kids are safe though.

File a BBB complaint. After watching that video that’s what I’d do.

“It uses playing cards so it must be a gambling game.”
Same boomer shit I’ve been putting up with since the 90s

Actual gambling is not censored. There’s thousands of thousands of streamers and influencers promoting gambling on Youtube and Kick, they are rampant in places like South America.
In Youtube shorts I get vids with the stupidass stake stripe. On Disney+, I watch a football game on ESPN, and the ad-break (an ad break I get despite paying 25 DOLLARS) I get 5 minutes of non-stop promotion of betting houses. Twitter I won’t start.
Surprisingly enough I think Twitch is the only god damn platform that actually tackled the problem accurately, and I say so because if it lead to Kick being created then Stake actually got hurt.

this double standard is crazy the crackdown on calling balatro gambling while ignoring the lootbox infested gambling simulators out there is insane

Yes but I got cropped porn ads for jerkmate and thats fine, but a card is bad

Balatro just won getting the rating knocked down too because it doesn’t actually have gambling.

At this point age restrict any game with lootboxes and all gacha games.

If Balatro’s 18+, why isn’t Solitaire? Or UNO? If Balatro was made by EA or Ubisoft it would be 3+ 🤦

Yes ban a sub $15 game just because it has a standard deck of cards but don’t touch the countless predatory lootbox games designed to scam hundreds out of these kids. So out of touch it hurts.

This will either kill Youtube or push them to give their AI Customer Support the ability to do anything positive for their employees (content creators).
But the reason this is happening is obvious. The AI has been trained to see 52 card Decks as gambling no matter what. There is probably a human or two still reviewing every now and again which would explain why some videos got through.
Certainly Youtubes goal is to replace all customer service and moderation with AI eventually though.

Who watches ads on YouTube anymore?

I wonder why BilliBilli gives you more clarify about your fault than YouTube huh..

Actual Gambling like Lootboxes, Gatcha Games, whatever every sports game is doing? Not gambling.
Game that uses playing cards and calls points Chips? GAMBLING OH MY GOD THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

Hearthstone, Marvel Snap, etc. must be age restricted by the same set of rules then (because those ARE actual gambling games)

TOTALLY DESERVED!! Because it is a very addicting game that manipulates you into playing it more and more and you are unable to stop making you unable to go to the toilet and you piss yourself and then haven’t eaten or drank anything and die because of thirst and hunger.

Makes sense. Balatro is essentially cocaine.
