What you said... doesn't really make sense to me.  Why would they restrict them to 18+ because of an ad policy?  I'm totally confused.

Advertisers don't like the videos, which is why they are restricted. That's it.
If so, why doesn't YouTube pull the ads off their videos instead?  I don't think that's it.  After all, many other PragerU videos are still up.  And PragerU contacted YouTube and received a very ambiguous answer that said nothing about monetization.

YouTube's a big corporation, Jukk. . . . they don't need a good reason to get more money. They're greedy.

It's censorship, that's what it is.  They don't like PragerU putting out educational, timely videos, so they're trying to stop it.  Honestly, that's what seems most likely at this point.

YouTube thinks that the other videos are advertiser friendly. YouTube's answer was probably made up. Many other large YouTube channels are getting their videos removed because of YouTube's bad stuff.

Sweetheart, did it take you this long to figure that out?

-Sometime later, the second mate was unexpectedly rescued by the subplot, which had been trailing a bit behind the boat (and the plot). The whole story moved along.

It's censorship.  No one can tell me otherwise.

@Corny:  NO, it did not take me this long. ::)  I knew right away.

I agree with you about the censorship, but there is money involved in the issue. I can clearly see it when I looked at the 21 removed videos.

So, y'all are gonna have to catch me up on stuff? Who all is running for... Whatever there's a running for?

Or is there any running? Is Ashleg just president for now?
Was anyone else on the old DAB forum, circa 2009? I was recently reminded of it, lol.

Bitterly jittery, and not very glittery.

Ashleg's forum president, there are a bunch of RPs in the Cellars, and there's a duelling tournament.

I have no clue. He doesn't have any authority though.
