PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
On February 28, 2019 YouTube turned off the comment feature for most of its videos that feature children under the age of 13 years.*

Although I kept seeing the "Comments are turned off" note at the bottom of many YouTube children's videos, it wasn't until November 6, 2019 that I did a google search about that message and then learned about that YouTube policy. Since then I've been revisiting the files that I've saved about children's recreational rhymes (particularly hand clap rhymes) to review comments that I had saved from those now deleted comment threads. I wish I had saved more examples from those YouTube comment threads, but for the folkloric record, I intend to share on pancocojams posts such as this one some of the comments that I did save.*

Many of the comments in this post document how children* write "I do it like this" or some similar statement before they share their version of the rhymes. I'm particularly interested in examples of comments in which this "I do it like this" statement is given without indicating that other versions are wrong. However, this post also includes some examples where the commenter says that other versions of this rhyme which are done differently (or have different words) are wrong. Those comments are followed by responses that "correct" those statements.

*I'm inferring that the commenters are children if they self-describe as such or if they write in present tense, for example "I do it like this"; "This is the way my friends and I say it".

Here's part of a note that I wrote in the above mentioned post that specifically refers to the topic of this post:
"In addition to documenting how certain children's hand clap rhymes were changing in relatively short periods of time, those YouTube discussion threads also documented how children and other commenters thought about those changes, and about the idea that there could be multiple versions of the "same" rhyme and rhymes with different words or rhymes that were played differently than the way they learned it weren't "wrong". Such openness to differences could be transferred to many other aspects of people's lives."...
Some of the comments that are found in this pancocojams posts are from YouTube video comment threads that I retrieved before those comments were deleted.

Other comments are from YouTube comment threads that are still open (as of November 8, 2019) for one reason or another.

These pancocojams posts were published in September 25, 2015. The latest updates to those posts were on November 7, 2019 after I included examples from my files which I had retrieved before the above mentioned YouTube ban on comments to children's videos.

There's actually no documentation that the version in the video is "the original version". However, I've included comment #3 and #4 in this post to further serve as examples of some exchanges that occurred in these now deleted comment threads in which one commenter shared with another person (and therefore all those reading that discussion) that there are different versions of particular rhymes and an example wasn't "wrong" just because it was different from the one that you learned.

Pancocojams Posts That Include Comments From Now Deleted YouTube Discussion Threads About Hand Clap Rhymes

Edited by Azizi Powell

On February 28, 2019 YouTube enacted a policy that disallows comments for most videos that feature children under 13 years old.

Since 2000, I've been surfing YouTube and saving examples of YouTube comments from children's rhyme videos to share on my now deleted cocojams cultural website and on this pancocojams blog and my other (relatively inactive) cocojams2 blog that focuses on children's rhymes, cheers, and game songs. But, I didn't think that the time would come that those YouTube comment threads would eventually be entirely deleted. :(

I've compiled a hyperlinked lists of pancocojams posts that include a small number of comments from those now deleted YouTube discussion threads from videos about hand clap rhymes that featured children under 13 years old. These pancocojams posts are from 2011 through 2018.

Information & My Comments About YouTube's Policy Enacted February 2019 Which Disallows Comments For Most YouTube Children's Videos

Edited by Azizi Powell

On February 28, 2019 YouTube enacted a ban on comments for most YouTube videos that feature children under the age of 13 years.

This pancocojams post presents information about that YouTube policy and includes my brief comment about that policy.

This post also introduces my archived lists of pancocojams posts that include a small amount of comments that I happened to have saved from those now deleted discussion threads.

YOUTUBE'S NEW POLICY OF TURNING OFF THE COMMENT FEATURE FOR MOST OF ITS CHILDREN'S VIDEOS
[These article excerpt are given in no particular order and are numbered for referencing purposes only.}

Article #1:
From https://tech.co/news/youtube-blocks-comments-videos-children-2019-02
YouTube Blocks Comments on Videos Featuring Children
February 28, 2019
"YouTube has just announced that it is disabling the commenting function for videos on its platform that feature children under the age of 13.

The decision follows reports that the massive video sharing site has failed to protect children's safety online by allowing and promoting predatory comments on children's videos.

[...]

YouTube's new stance is a sweeping, across-the-board approach. While easier than attempting to hire thousands of content editors to manually check videos, this approach will also wipe out any healthy commenting communities that might have revolved around YouTube channels not major enough to receive an exemption from the comment ban."...

****
Article #2:
From https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/28/18244954/youtube-comments-minor-children-exploitation-monetization-creators
YouTube is disabling comments on almost all videos featuring children
Only a few select channels will have comment sections enabled

By Julia Alexander, Feb 28, 2019

"YouTube will no longer allow the majority of channels featuring kids to include comment sections following a controversy over predatory comments being posted on videos of children.

YouTube will temporarily remove comments from videos that feature minors in the coming months. Only a select few channels with children will be allowed to include a comment sections, but even that comes with a caveat: they’ll be required to monitor their comments for safety.

“These channels will be required to actively moderate their comments, beyond just using our moderation tools, and demonstrate a low risk of predatory behavior,” YouTube wrote in a blog post.

[...]

MAJOR COMPANIES PULLED THEIR ADS OVER THE PREDATORY COMMENTS
YouTube also says it’s launched a better algorithm to let it automatically “identify and remove predatory comments.” The classifier is “more sweeping in scope,” according to the blog post, and will catch up to twice as many predatory comments from individuals.

YouTube’s decision to remove comments comes in the wake of major corporations like Disney, Nestlé, AT&T and Fortnite maker Epic Games pausing ad spending after discovering their ads were playing on videos that had predatory comments on them. It’s unclear if those companies have reactivated their spending, or if they plan to at this time.

As part of an initial response, YouTube said last week that it had deleted tens of millions of comments and removed more than 400 channels associated with writing predatory comments on videos staring minors.

YouTube also sought to clear up confusion around how these changes will impact creators’ ability to run ads. In its blog post, YouTube says none of this will affect creators’ monetization. That was a concern among YouTubers as the controversy arose, along with comments being weaponized against creators.

A YouTube spokesperson told The Verge that although the company understands comment sections are important to creators as way of measuring engagement, “we also know that this is the right thing to do to protect the YouTube community.”

****
PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE ABOUT THIS POLICY
I've previously written pancocojams posts expressing my concern about the safety of children posting on YouTube discussion threads*, and I understand the reasons why YouTube turned off the comment feature for most children's videos. That said, as a (self-identified) community folklorist, I deeply regret the lost of many of these now deleted comments on videos about children's recreational rhymes.

Those mostly deleted discussion threads for YouTube's hand clap rhyme videos were a treasure trove for people like me who are interested in collecting old and new hand clap rhyme examples. I particularly liked the usually rare occasions when commenters shared their demographic information (such as what age/s they are or were when they performed that rhyme, how they perform/ed it, and what city & state they live in or what nation they live in if they lived outside of the United States- but NOT their address, instagram account, or school name). That information was (and still is) helpful for comparing how rhymes stay the same or how they change depending on which population (race, ethnic group, gender, ages) chants them and where those people live.

Some comments in those deleted discussion threads were also interesting for socio-cultural reasons in that the rhymes (and the way the comments are written, and their content) can provide insights into how those who chanted/chant those examples view/ed themselves and others, and what children thought about adults and about "being an adult". (For instance: examples of "I Like Coffee, I Like Tea" that include racial references and examples of "life milestones" rhymes such as "When Susie Was A Baby" which chant about a different characteristic for each progressive stage of life such as "baby", "teen", "mom", "grandma", "angel".)

In addition to documenting how certain children's hand clap rhymes were changing in relatively short periods of time, those YouTube discussion threads also documented how children and other commenters thought about those changes, and about the idea that there could be multiple versions of the "same" rhyme and rhymes with different words or rhymes that were played differently than the way they learned it weren't "wrong". Such openness to differences could be transferred to many other aspects of people's lives.

Most examples of hand clap rhymes and other children's recreational rhymes that were included in these now deleted YouTube discussion threads are rarely found in published books of children's rhymes, although there are other online sites that can be gleaned for those type of rhyme examples (such as pancocojams).

And there are still open discussion threads in YouTube videos of hand clap rhymes and other "children's" recreational rhymes, singing games, and cheers. Most of those discussion threads feature adults performing those "children's" recreational activities. However, just last night while researching this post, I happened upon a YouTube video of two Black children performing hand clap rhymes and I was surprised to find that that video's comment section was still opened. Big name channels such as PBS and Disney still have their comments open. However, that publisher wasn't a "big name", and given the profanity, sexualized content, and the personalized way that commenters wrote on that discussion thread (sharing their school name and talking about knowing someone by name), those comments -if not the entire comment thread- should certainly have been deleted.

Since 2000, I've been surfing YouTube and saving examples of YouTube comments from children's rhyme videos to share on my now deleted cocojams cultural website and on this pancocojams blog and my other (relatively inactive) cocojams2 blog that focuses on children's rhymes, cheers, and game songs. But, I didn't think that the time would come that those YouTube comment threads would eventually be entirely deleted. :(

I've compiled a hyperlinked lists of pancocojams posts that include a small number of comments from those now deleted YouTube discussion threads from videos about hand clap rhymes that featured children under 13 years old. Here's the link for that post: https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2019/11/pancocojams-posts-that-include-comments.html.

I hasten to emphasize that the pancocojams posts whose hyperlinks are given below aren't a complete list of pancocojams posts about children's hand clap rhymes that were published during that time period.

There are many other pancocojams posts about hand clap rhymes that don't have any comments from YouTube discussion threads. Some of these posts present examples from other sources besides YouTube (such as my direct collecting; from books or records, and/or from my "gleaning" rhyme examples from other internet sources, including my no longer active cocojams cultural website which was online from 2000-2014 and received a lot of material from children, teens, and adults).

In addition, there are some pancocojams posts that showcase YouTube hand clap rhyme videos that were published by older teens or adults. The comment sections for those videos are still open. Therefore, links to those pancocojams posts aren't included in this series.

Other pancocojams posts on children's hand clap rhymes that I have published feature one or more embedded YouTube video/s or sound files of hand clap rhyme/s along with my (or someone else's) transcription of that rhyme/s and some comments about that rhyme/s. Links to those posts aren't included in this particular pancocojams series.

In addition, most of the pancocojams posts that provide information and speculation about possible sources for verses of hand clap rhymes, and most of the pancocojams posts that provide my textual analysis of these rhymes aren't included in this particular list.

Also, there are many other pancocojams posts about other types of children's recreational rhymes (and/or children's cheers) besides hand clap rhymes.

The archived list of certain pancocojams posts is provided for the general public, educators, and folklorists who may be interested in documenting and studying these children's recreational rhymes.

Click the "children's rhymes" or "African American children's rhymes and cheers" tags to find a complete listing of pancocojams posts on those subjects. Some posts can be identified by both of these tags. Or you can use Google to search for pancocojams posts on specific children's recreational rhymes. A lot of times that's what I do :o)

*Here are links to two pancocojams posts that I published in which I shared my concerns about children publishing comments on YouTube, and/or the ways that some children publish comments on YouTube:
https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2015/11/children-posting-on-youtube-discussion.html
"Children Posting On YouTube Discussion Threads- A Recipe For Danger"

and

https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2016/06/facebooking-youtube-video-comment.html
"Facebooking YouTube Video Comment Threads: Kids Commenting On Starrkeisha Videos' Discussion Threads."

By "facebooking" YouTube comment threads I mean treating YouTube discussion threads as if it is a social media platform in which people "get personal" with people who are either family and friends, or people who they want to be family and friends, or people who they are upset or angry with as if they were interacting face to face.

These two pancocojams posts address part of the reasons why YouTube instituted this "no comment" policy for mot videos that feature children under 13 years.

As I've mentioned earlier, I regret losing access to many of the comments on those YouTube discussion threads, but there are still YouTube discussion threads for videos on hand clap rhymes (and other videos) that people can read to glean new examples of rhymes and read comments about rhymes from past decades. Those YouTube videos (such as this one that I just found today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zEcsIfe6lU&t=10s " 90’s hands games !!!!!" published by Geneas, Nov 4, 2018 feature adults performing hand claps. Some of the comments on that video's discussion thread are from self-identified children. And some of the comments that they could read (or comments that they themselves post) include profanity, sexualized references, violence, and other Not Suitable For Kids content.

Since children are creative, it will be interesting to see what they do with their desire to comment about hand clap rhymes since YouTube has disallowed comments on most children's videos. Of course, they could always comment about rhymes on specific pancocojams discussion threads which I hasten to say are moderated so Not Suitable For Kids content isn't allowed.
