Update, 13th April 2021: I've been told that some conspiracy theorists are, bizarrely, circulating this video as fact. To be clear, this is speculative fiction from 2018, part of a sci-fi series on this channel. I thought that'd be obvious, but apparently not. If someone has sent you this video as "factual" or "a plan for the future", then you should know that they're either a) malicious or b) entirely disconnected from reality!

If Youtube Rewind wasn't depressing enough, YouTube Fast-Forward is just frightening.

NOTE: Starting in January, commenting on this channel will be restricted to citizens with a social credit score of 80 or higher.

I joke about building an atomic bomb ONE TIME and now my score has dropped into the low 30's!

Very unrealistic, the production quality is too good to be a UK government infomercial.

Purchases WinRar after the trial period...
Score jumps to 100

"helping us to help you" hits the massive red flag of sounding like a Portal qoute

This got recommended to me in the hike of Chinese social credit memes.

TheSpiffingBrit: Social Credit is totally balanced with NO exploits!

[ID-unavailable]

I like how this is getting recommended now that the social credit memes are so popular

[georgeofakind]

me: *handles salmon suspiciously*
government: *you're going to the shadow realm, jimbo.*

[ShadwX]

"If you're a citizen of Google or Facebook..." not concerning whatsoever

[boiboi]

Chinese Citizens: ‘Hey, I’ve seen this one!’

[kamez]

This video is terrifying. It felt so realistic...

[TisWaffles]

This makes me wonder if they would score minors. Imagine if a kid ruined their life after getting a low social credit score because they stole a pencil in school.

"The Irish was taken advantage of during the potato famine"
*-1000 Social credit*

[imcool]

I can't believe China's a huge fan of Tom Scott

[Saphirefenix]

"Helping us, to control you"

[bon]

"Taiwan is a country"

-10, 000, 000, 000, 000 credit score
