YouTube promises to shore up their policies.
You may be familiar with the crazy amount of child-unfriendly content pretending to be child-friendly on YouTube.
Well, rejoice, for they plan to fix this problem! And they started by terminating the ToyFreaks channel, what with their near-DaddyOFive antics.
I probably would’ve started with this chucklefuck first, but that’s just me I guess.
The ban is part of their new Child Endangerment Policy (which you can get a look at here). YouTube is now making a concerted effort to ensure nothing inappropriate makes it into the children’s section. Which is good.
Except for one problem in this case. People like ToyFreaks have spent years gaming the YouTube system for views, and they’re not going to go quietly into the night. Amid the countless reupload channels that poach content, you can, in fact, find what I believe to be ToyFreaks’ new channel (and a backup). Which, right now, only seems to have this video:

In Summary
All of this, I suppose, goes to show that they’ve got an uphill battle with these people. Especially when they’re as delusional as Greg Chism (a.k.a ToyFreaks Freak Daddy, Bad Baby Daddy):
“Earlier this week, YouTube informed me of concerns that my videos were attracting audience members who do not have childrens’ best interests in their hearts. Many YouTube community members expressed similar concerns, and their willingness to reach out to protect my children and all children from exploitation reinforces my faith in the YouTube community. Victoria, Annabelle and I want to thank our supporters as my girls have had the opportunity to develop their creativity and self-confidence over the past few years. Their future is bright. While it is disturbing to me that anyone would find inappropriate pleasure in our video skits, I deeply appreciate YouTube’s concerns for my family and I could not be happier with having had this remarkable experience.”
My point is, these people can get new channels up faster than China can crank out bootleg anime figures. It’s in their interest if they want to keep getting that sweet ad money. It’s going to take more than just a ban to get rid of these types. They’re cockroaches.
