Aside from rebrandings, intros, or outros, and other little things here and there, Guuzaka has remained largely unchanged. 👀 However, between 2010 and the present, a lot has changed both inside and outside of YouTube. Therefore, I would like to take this blog post as not only an opportunity to explain things, but to also serve as a reference to legal things like the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA).

"You are on Guuzaka. 😶 The 5 major pillars of this brand are the outdoors, mobile games, products, music, and commentary-discussion videos."

Pretty self-explanatory. Lets you know that you are on the official Guuzaka channel and that the main categories of videos I like to make are outdoors, mobile games, products, music, and commentary-discussion videos. 💬📱🌳🎵📦

"However, Guuzaka is by no means a mass appeal brand. It can be rather strange, different, complicated or controversial at times."

My channel is the way I want it to be. 😤 It is not intended to be enjoyable to the general population. 👾 This is not to say that it is straight up vulgar and shocking. It is not. 😌 But at the same time, I do not try to win the mass approval of everyone's tastes. As such, sometimes commentary may be political, religious, strange, not to your tastes, or oh-so-variable! 🌈

 I upload videos that I like. If you like, cool. If you do not like, you are strongly advised to move on without any drama or nonsense of the sort.

As explained above, I upload what I want to upload. That said, if you did manage to like a particular video, then great. 😎 If you did not like a particular video or this channel as whole, just move on without being rude, stupid, or dramatic. 😑 You would be surprised at how easy it is to actually do that: leave peacefully and respectfully. 🕊

Important! Even though some of the videos are rated "E" Guuzaka is NOT catered to children.

This is extremely important. So important, that I actually had plans to create a video entirely on this subject since February. 😶 Well, we all know how that went: did not happen at all. 😣 While July is a good 5 months apart from February, it is better to discuss it now than never.

You see, a lot of the videos on my channel seem to be rated E, right? 🤔 And you also see that there are a lot of outdoor videos of schools when they are closed. 🏫 This must mean that this channel is obviously catered to children, right? 🤡🎈 

Absolutely wrong! 😲 In fact, none of the videos on my channels are catered specifically to people under 13. 😐 The rated E simply means that it is safe enough for people of all ages to watch. The general recommended age for my videos is 13+. As explained earlier, commentary (as well as edits 😏) may vary a lot in my videos, which can cause a video that you might expect to be rated E, get stamped with a rated 13+ or higher.

That said, you will notice that all of my videos before November 2019, do not have age ratings. What are viewers supposed to do in this situation? 🤨 You have to use a combination of personal judgement, as well as the fact that Guuzakan videos are generally recommended for an audience of 13+. If at any point a video made you feel uncomfortable because the topics of the commentary were too mature, immediately stop watching it and seek a channel that caters to children, or is at least always rated E. 😉
