My "YouTube channel" was deleted

[infection]

Back about 10 years ago I had made a couple "Hitler reacts" videos for the forum, like Hitler reacting to no trade deadline moves. They ended up being associated with my youtube account because they had to be hosted. Anyway, they sent me an email a few months back saying they removed my videos for "violating community standards." I just laughed that off. So they hadn't been on my "channel" for months. Then a couple weeks ago they send me an email saying that they deleted my account. What I was most pissed about was that I had some play lists on there and the algorithms of what I watched, so I appealed, asking them why they deleted my account for videos they removed months ago. They didn't offer any explanation but just told me they're keeping my account suspended.

Cancel culture. Ain’t it grand.

Sorry man. Libs are a ****ing joke. And I consider myself one. Hopefully this is just a moment in history and we’ll go back to some sort of normalcy but cracking down on everything under the sun is insanity.

I don't know that it could even be attributed to that, though. It's a parody video of which there are thousands on YouTube. My guess is I got hit by some algorithm and they have no reason to override it. I have no subscribers. Views of the video came only from here. There was nothing offensive. My guess is that it's copyright issue, but the Downfall parody videos have been over YouTube forever. But I still don't understand how that translates to removing a channel. Never heard of that before (for that, and not some repeated offense).

That you don’t have subscribers or a lot of views works against you. YouTube reserves the right to run advertisements in front of any video. They don’t want to run the risk of running a Toyota advertisement in front of a Hitler video, then for someone from the NY Times to run a piece showing that Toyota must think Hitler is great because they are running ads on that content. Toyota then publishes a denial, blames YouTube for the unauthorized ad placement, and pulls all advertising off YouTube while increasing advertising in the NY Times to get them to back off.

This public shaming of YouTube advertisers via hit pieces in old media is not hypothetical. It is real and has been going on since 2017. YouTubers term it “adpocalypse”. YouTube sees your Hitler video as something that could potentially cost them multi-million dollar advertisers.

To combat this method of advertiser stealing extortion, YouTube designed algorithms to detect potential problematic content and take it down automatically. The net to snare content deemed problematic has become wider over the years, and the punishments more harsh. The 2 Hitler videos got you 2 strikes. Later they made 2 strikes the threshold for deleting your account and away it went. Being that you had no subscribers and almost no views made the decision a no-brainer. If you had a million subscribers and again that many daily views they may have thought different.

If you are making edgy content, you aren’t going to want to put that on YouTube. There are many other video hosting services with much more lenient content standards.

Again, 10 years old. I'm not making any content. YouTube is rife with "Hitler reacts" Downfall parodies. Yes, I understand those channels have more subscribers than myself, but they don't seem to be making any dent in removing "Hitler reacts" videos. Aside from mine, of course.

Can’t you just create a new account?

This doesn’t solve your play list issues but still.

When I logged in to the one associated with my email account, it's the account my kids have been using on the TV, so the suggested videos aren't up my alley.

Correct. So create a new gmail account and then a new YouTube account. Use a fake name when signing up if you need.

I'm not a "YouTuber" but I have posted a few videos. After reading this thread I wondered if my videos were still up. They were still there so I clicked on one and there was a commercial that loaded up. I watched the whole thing. Does YouTube owe me some money now?

Nope. It is possibly to apply for monetization to get paid for advertisements that run in front of your content but you must have a minimum of 1,000 subscribers and racked up at least 4,000 hours of watch time in the past 12 months by people who have watched your content. Even if you do reach that point and get approved for monetization, it is common for YouTube to demonetize videos, still run advertisements and not pay you.

sorry, comedy is cancelled

I've uploaded way too many videos on YouTube and spent way too much time beeping out my swear words.

I had a goal of getting 1k subs by the end of the year so I could monetize my channel, but that ain't happening. Haha

YouTube has changed so much over the years, but I still enjoy it.

This is a civil rights issue, and the law is going to crack their skulls, unless the neocon real fascists somehow turn it into their tool. If you study German history, the youth movements of that time(I'm deliberately not using any term I think the algorithms are "looking for") it's literature like the LDS official publications, all apple pie and roses. That's what propaganda looks like.

The legal issue imo is the civil rights issues of operating a business in the public realm, where you are in business to serve. Banks, restaurants, recreational, trades, all that stuff, was firmly ruled "open for business" on terms on nondiscrfimination. Racial, religious, political. Period.

The idea of nosing around in the content of such a public forum looking for stuff that's objectionable is gross.

Most of us will accept some standards based on widely-held notions of decency because we want a conducive environment for our own stuff. Criminal threats, and extreme indecency we want out. The open to the public business will succeed if rules are set up which apply to all equally.


China's social scoring system is way out of line on human rights standards, and that is what our big boys are going for here, obviously under pressure from China to comply with their standards, in order to do business in their market.

If a business rolls for China, Americans should "walk".

Yeah, man.

It's been a fun journey getting into dirt biking when I was older. It's fun to see my progress.

I think I got into riding because a bike could do so much more than I could. I highly recommend it to anyone. You get to see parts of the world hardly anyone gets to. The riding community is awesome too. I've made some great friends from riding.

That said, I hurt my back again. I'm 100% sure I have a pinched nerve in the area I had surgery on. It feels like I have a hot poker in tailbone and it hurts 24/7. I meet with my surgeon on the 2nd.

I hurt my back lifting boxes of literature and catalogs from my truck bed. It wasn't very heavy but I felt it pop.

My boss told me I need to stop "extreme sports" or at least think about it. I was like, I didn't hurt it riding.

Yes, I filed it with HR. I feel guilty about it and I'm not sure why.

Ugh, man, I’m so sorry. Seriously, this summer has blown for me so I totally get it. For me, I’m just trying to walk as much as possible with some backwards each day (as it activates certain muscles that otherwise are basically never activated) and continuing the PT exercises as well as other core stuff.

Back pain/chronic pain is the worst. For me, it destroyed me both physically and mentally. I couldn't sleep and it just blew.

That said, I'm weirdly at a better place. It is what it is. I've been here before other than this time the nerve that's pinched is messing with my junk. Haha

If PT doesn't help, I highly recommend meeting with a surgeon. Yeah, I jacked my back up again in the spot where they cut me open, but I had almost 2 years without the pain.

I hope you get better. Not to be the bearer of bad news, but if your back is jacked to a degree you don't question you may have hurt it, surgery might be an option.

It helped me (the surgery blew balls until they scripted me steroids) and I was pain free for a year and a half. That said, I hurt my back lifting 20 lbs or less and it's way worse than before.

PT ain't gonna help anyone with a slipped disc though.

Hope you're feeling better. Back stuff sucks. You did the right thing reporting it. I can't tell you how many times I've had an injury go unreported then end up costing us 5-10x what it would have if we had known about it earlier. One that yours made me think of was a back injury that didn't get reported, then 3 months later the dude was lifting something, doing it wrong because his back hurt, and ruptured 3 disks. Instead of paying for some physical therapy we were on the hook for major back surgery and he got to live in more or less permanent pain. Reporting is the right thing to do.
