The content does not matter, the structure does. I had a conversation with The Everlasting and according to him:
"Not like it's wrong to have profiles from stuff that originated from YouTube, but it feels like people are taking advantage of that to make profiles for what amounts to collections of gags."
"Like, one guy tried making profiles for ASDF, which is basically just one long series of skits, because it's a YouTube thing. This also runs into the issue of "its a gag series so we don't have to worry about consistency" that we once had with cartoons like Looney Tunes, which the ASDF guy was also abusing. People are taking what's honestly just a mess of inconsistent gags and stringing them together into a profile with the explanation of "well it's not against the rules"
"IMO, the thing should be that the YouTube series has a narrative. We obviously shouldn't disallow an otherwise legitimate series just because of the platform it was released on. Red vs. Blue originally started as just a series on YouTube using Halo models, but it has a massive narrative and a cast of entirely original characters. It wouldn't be any different if it were released on, I dunno, HBO or something."
"It's not about the content itself, it's how it can be structured into a profile. If a verse has a complete, consistent narrative and cast of characters that just happens to be on YT, it shouldn't make a difference. But this rule should be clearly defined, or else we get people trying to make profiles for what are basically just gags, just because YT stuff is allowed."
"So I don't think it's really about reevaluating our standards, but looking into what it's resulted in and trying to clarify them to others more."
I completely agree with him, btw.
