Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

MODERATORS
Need to develop a system that doesn’t serve up cancerous ads and relaxes on the rules so uploaders don’t feel the need to do dumb, unnecessary shit like censor a car crash.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Playables is a new technology from Google that allows you to play video games directly on YouTube.
In June, information began to circulate indicating that Google was testing a new technology on YouTube that would allow video games to be played directly in the browser or in the mobile application.
The information we have about Playables is very limited, although YouTube has shared more details about what they call “a new experience”; as they say on their official page, “Playables are games that can be played directly on YouTube both in the desktop version and on mobile devices.”
Look for a new “Playables” area on YouTube alongside material on the home feed to see if you’re a part of the gaming trial.
Of course, it seems that it will not have much to do with Stadia, the cloud gaming service closed at the beginning of the year, since the tests with employees consisted of arcade mini-games such as Stack Bounce or Brick Breaker.
Perhaps they could simply be titles chosen for the technical test, but they could also be the type of games that one would want to offer on Playables.
