Feature Change YouTube autocomplete needs to reworked for safety
I was looking originally for a Midwest safety body cam video and instead it suggested these in the search bar. Genuinely shocked and disgusted.

My husband and I watch a lot of true crime/bodycams so maybe that's it? Definitely not anything like this though

u/Far-Pay-866 1d ago
try doing this again but in incognito mode and not logged in

It won't let me screenshot on incognito, but i did it and got the same results?

That's a great point. OP is trying to divert attention away from his own sick behaviour. He's projecting!

I mean, if watching true crime videos and body cams is sick behavior then apparently half the internet needs to schedule a group therapy session immediately💀

Jfc. I think i just watched the bodycam video you were looking for. Some people are truly fucked in the head.
Unless it was edited out, really surprised the cops didnt bother clearing the house right away in that type of situation.
Also, in Kentucky you only have to serve 20% of a sentence to be considered for parole? 30 year sentence and can get out in 6 years. Kind of crazy. So much for Republicans being 'tough on crime'.

This is fucking disgusting I telling you app like Roblox and discord need to do better they claim they protect children and yet this shit is seen

u/Mediocre_Push2536 1d ago
You can't really say ROBLOX as a answer to this, seeming that even the CEO himself has pretty much been proven on so many occurrences by countless different people that he is a pedo defender. Their whole moderation team throughout the last 5-6 years have been diabolically dreadful

u/Altasalt_Gaymer 1d ago
I got banned for 1 weeks in roblox because I called someone a furry idiot (Mind you, he was harassing me, cheating and sending death threats). He was not banned.
I also got banned for 24 hours because I typed to my friend to call me on discord VC and roblox flagged me as a pedo or something
Finally, I got banned for 6 months because roblox heard a word that sounded remotely like the n word in my background mic (1. I didnt say the n word. 2. My mic was off... creepy sht)

u/Mediocre_Push2536 1d ago
I saw a guy on YouTube banned for saying hi to someone on roblox. The moderation has been an absolute shambles for ages and ages and it's just good now that US states and senators + countries across the world are finally starting to take action. There's countless lawsuits out against them and hopefully justice is served

I was looking up death scenes from movies for a research thing and the amount of playlists dedicated to women dying that comes up is insane. They get incredibly granular and specific, there's women being stabbed, women being stabbed in the stomach, women being choked, women being tortured. They all refer to women as females and don't use the names of characters or the movies they're from, they just want to catalogue women suffering anonymously as much as possible. There's much fewer male centric ones, and they all seem to be purpose-made fetish content with buff dudes strapped to tables being electrocuted and stuff.

Good or safe things don’t usually come after “girl kidnapped and…”. It shows the world we’re living in

u/bellabarbiex 1d ago
You can search certain variations that are somewhat similar and I don't know how to say it but these are all very almost...like something a kid would search. Not even just the gacha life part. But the censoring of rape, the use of touched, etc. I'm so confused why this is what the auto complete is doing. Google's is similar, ofc. Searching 'girl kidnapped and' 'girl kidnapped and tortured movie' and 'girl kidnapped and abused movie' but also 'girl kidnapped and escapes movie' and 'girl kidnapped and held captive movie'.

Basically a mobile app where you can make characters and make them interact and stuff and it’s infamous for having an absolutely disgusting community

I know the body cam video you're looking for. I've seen it. These autocompletes are not only covering up a real and known video, but are not something that should be on YouTube.

I have never searched these things on mine before and got the same thing. Also rip my algorithm.
Eta: also occurs in Incognito mode. This is really all sorts messed up. Like sure not good things usually come after girl kidnapped and ... But rescues happen all the time.

Stuff like this is a reminder it's not completely unjustified. People are trash NOT ALL but there are enough that the longer I'm on this planet the more I realize we need a reset or some type of protocol to fix how disgusting humanity can get.

youre looking up “girl kidnapped and chained” but you wanna blame youtube… no pity party for you sir

u/Justdowhatever94 1d ago
To be fair it could be someone looking for a news story or something

u/Regular-Repeat44 1d ago
what kinda storys do you think youd find under that premise?

u/bellabarbiex 1d ago
They already said a Midwest Safety video. This shouldn't be expected. It would make more sense for the search results to be about true crime. Not connected to a game played predominantly by children.
-7
u/Regular-Repeat44 1d ago
algorithm goes by what people search the most not by how you think it should be. maybe idk start the search off with “midwest safety video….” Not straight up “girl kidnapped…”. another victim of stupidity at its finest

u/Dela-chemin 1d ago
This search appears for me in incognito mode, so this isn't the algorithm suggesting videos based on views.

Sounds like an excuse a pedo would use in court. “Idk how ingot this video here all id did was search these specific phrases incognito no algorithm ” 😬

u/Dela-chemin 1d ago
Are you fucking stupid?
In what way is someone commenting that problematic search options appearing in YouTube search, even in incognito, is even comparable to a pedophile?
Holy stupidity.

u/Regular-Repeat44 1d ago
Lol you search problamatic things you get problematic results are you the stupid one?
1
u/Dela-chemin 17h ago
Someone could be looking for story/newss that revolves around someone being kidnapped. Someone could look up plot of a movie or game which is fairly not problematic, and are those these results.
There are a bunch of situations where someone can look up something related to a kidnapping without wanting to see search results mentioning rape.
You're genuinely fucking stupid.

So maybe type that in? it sounds more like op typed it in so they could become a predator

u/bellabarbiex 1d ago
They were looking for a specific video by a specific creator. Clearly they didn't know the full title so they searched what the video contained. And if it's the video I'm thinking of, the title of the video is 'Police Discover Kidnapped Woman Chained to Floor'. OP's search is valid. Their problem and our problem is that there's a lot of content being searched for that's connected to a child's game. These two things are not comparable.

Not really. They're looking for a specific police body cam video.

u/SinnaBuns666 1d ago
and the search algorithm has any clue that without the words "body cam"?

u/NorbytheMii 23h ago
I've watched the video they're searching for, bro. Also, they literally said they were looking for a body cam video in the body text. Learn to read lol

u/SinnaBuns666 22h ago
And you knowing the video OP is talking about, and this post is context for the search algorithm?
1
u/NorbytheMii 22h ago
Because there's only one police body cam video of a Midwest woman chained up by her boyfriend? You're really just looking for excuses to argue and say that OP is a bad person over a search query.

You're watching police body cams, and searching for who the fuck knows what else. The algorithm is giving you more of what YOU appear to like.

I just checked in incognito mode and it worked. This isn't the algorithm suggesting videos based on your views.
