The Problem with YouTube ⚠️

- Sorry for the drama, but UA-cam have automated a channel warning against me for no real reason. And I'm mad about it.
Also, I don't care how bad my green screen and set up is - I like it like that, so nerr. - Ігри
Absolute joke. Screw this...I'm off to find my cheque book and buy a VHS player!
So UA-cam doesn't want us interacting with someone else's videos on the offchance they violate a policy? What's the point of the platform?
I think you've just asked the right question, there...
To run ads
this is what lack of competition does to a company
Pretty sure the point was to make content that was exclusively "you".
Do a personal cooking show, write your own songs, record your craft projects, do an art stream...
Just anything that doesn't have to dance around copyright.
Problem is, that's what they *want*.
They couldn't control the popularity of lets plays or reaction (well, assuming the good ones) channels.
Imagine if the police worked like UA-cam.
Police Officer: You know why I stopped you.
Driver: No officer, was I speeding?
Police Officer: I'm not allowed to tell you, here's a ticket and your driving licence is revoked for 120 days. Good day.
Well at least UA-cam doesn't have authorization to kill defenseless people just for looking at 'em funny.
“you did a highly illegal maneuver”
“that other car was going 70 in a 25 straight towards me, i had to move! why are you after ME??”
“your maneuver was highly illegal”
More like you got stopped for watching someone else speed
@@imveryangryitsnotbutter And there is the reddit idiot
@@Rockleedrunkpunch yes actually lmao youre right
How are we supposed to avoid doing violations if we don't even know what is a violation....
This is a violation of logic
Ha, I see what you did there.
What? You don't like everything being decided based on "You know what you did" even when we clearly don't?
Saving to my Watch Later for the meta.
My Watch Later playlist is my primary means of interacting with the platform. Hope I don't accidentally want to watch something UA-cam doesn't like
The fact that you can get a strike for content that isnt even yours on a playlist no one else can see is absolutely infuriating
UA-cam is literally like anxiety. It tells you something is wrong but not what or how.
Damn youtube bureacracy, You did something wrong but we wont tell you. Also why is the person putting a video in their playlist getting punished instead of the person who made the video
This is the question I have been asking myself the whole time.
there has been some case surrounding people tagging videos with children in them for... horrible reasons. A less grim explanation to why a playlist creator could be punished that I can think of is maybe if someone makes playlists of copyrighted material like movies uploaded to UA-cam. Even if they delete the videos and ban the channels uploading the movies, someone might create a public playlist where they automatically add illegal reuploads so instead of searching for them, you can just check the master playlist.
Obviously this isn't in any way related to any of these cases, so my only guess is that it must have been a classic UA-cam automated moderation tools random fuck up that absolutely nobody knows why happened and won't admit to it being wrong because our AI overlords are always correct 🙏praise be the Great Algorithm.
And this doesn't only happen on UA-cam, but also Pinterest. Multiple times I've been sent an email saying that they ''re-instated'' my pin and that I should try to not break policy rules, but they don't show me what offending pin they're talking but also I'm not the OP?
Like, I have around 4,000 images saved between my boards and none of them have nudity nor gore for sure, and even if they had I'm not the original poster so why is my account threatened either way? Blaming me for not reporting? That's not my job I don't work for Pinterest I'm just a random user
more people need to move to another platform like Odysee
The lack of competition is making Google extremely drunk with power.
I can't even think of what's to come within the next few years.
It's crazy that a channel could receive a strike for content they haven't made, didn't promote, and possibly didn't even watch.
It seems like a content creator should be better off having a second independant channel for scouting and watching YT and keep their content channel strictly as a publishing tool to protect their content.
Unless creating a second channel could be a violation too somehow?
I definitely will be starting to do this, I think.
They will try to piece that type of thing together too. Stay on a VPN when doing anything and always switch IPs when moving from one channel to the other.
I specifically have two different accounts because of this. There's the account I use everyday for personal and business emails, and then the account I use only for UA-cam. Not only does that make my YT account essentially a burner account if necessary, but also hopefully reduces the likelihood that something I do or say on YT leads back to me personally and professionally, because some people take things way too far.
UA-cam: _"our rules are niiiice and opaque so we can do as we like without adequate explanation"_
Really sorry to hear this mate. It is garbage and wrong and you dont deserve it 💚 Don't let em win, keep creating!
Wait what? So my watch later playlist can violate the youtube policy???
I have seen so many videos deleted from my watch later. Because the author took them down or something about UA-cam took them down. But now you're telling me...I will be responsible for these consequences even though it's content I have never published?
How does that make any sense?!?!?!
Also does that only apply to channels that have published stuff?
I think you've got it.
Your own private playlist can violate one of UA-cam's policies if it has a video in it which violates a policy.
Maddening, I know.
I’ve already been mad over videos getting deleted and me having to remove them from my playlists myself, but this new fact that I and other people can potentially be punished just for having violating videos that WE DID NOT MAKE on playlists that we did make is so much worse. UA-cam is somehow finding ways to get stupider over time.
Wait, what?! That's crazy. Is there even a way to delete those deleted videos? Because my Watch Later only tells me that some videos got deleted.
@@NuiYabuko at least on mobile, you can tap the three dots icon and select "Show Unavailable Videos", though most unavailable videos will be more obvious than others (on my iPad it doesn’t require me to activate that option since all unavailable videos are automatically shown by default)
2:25
they literally picked the first video in the playlist. They really thought it was a good idea to go 1-by-1 to see if they could find the "bad video"
I'm struggling to find a single sane reason why UA-cam would punish a user for wanting to watch a video later without even knowing its content. It's as if they don't want people to use their website or something. There are a lot of absurd policies here but this is probably the worst.
Why is a private playlist that no one but you can view considered content?? It’s not even your OWN content, it should have no effect on you channel
Exactly. UA-cam is complete nonsense.
so - the Watch Later playlist.
the list of things you _have not watched yet_ -
- can condemn your account to hell if one of those videos, which you have not seen, violates a guideline.
that is fantastic
The irony of getting the "help UA-cam by answering a question" ad at the beginning of this video.
Commenting so the Algorithm picks this up.
I hope the bigger youtube commenters pick this up and slap YT around a bit. It's insane that they've been having problems like "Sir you broke the law. Which law? IDK, here's a jail sentence, enjoy prison" for years and they refuse to be better. Damn monopolies, man.
No idea what actually getting onto Nebula looks like, but you would fit right in over there.
YT's policy is insane, but a work around might be to ONLY post content on your main channel, and then browse YT on a separate channel that is only for browsing so you can't run into this problem again
I hope you stick around, there aren't many content creators who do a good job on video game animations, so you do make a difference
It's like a dystopian public library!
Library: ... and here's a cubby where you can put any books you like the look of!
Patron: Very cool.
Library: Also umm there are illegal books in here? But they look normal.
Patron: ... what if I put one of those in my cubby?
Library: Jail ☹
"Which of the books in my cubby is the illegal one?"
"We don't know, but here, read this pamphlet."
Basically- UA-cam backed themselves into a "rules loop" and offloaded soooo much thinking onto a machine (the aaaaalgorythm) that noone there knows what is happening, that's my assumption.
Noone holds the reigns, noone has any idea how it works.
I sincerely hope someone is working on an alternative for this site- stuff like BlueSky is a better twitter alternative, so I hope someone's gonna make the blast from the past youtube lookalike.
And the thing you gonna need to remember- it's their fault, not us. The only blame on us is that we are forced to use this because there ain't that much of alternative. The other blame would be towards idiots who don't act, and I mean it in a way of "We don't care because what will it change". Keep the discontent and radicalize your fellows
From what others have said about their interactions with UA-cam, it sounds like there is no real oversight and possibly no meaningful accountability for the people who enforce policy. Worse, it feels that sometimes they just rubberstamp previous judgements when contested, unless it blows up into a bigger public PR issue. Sasha from Casually Comics went into how Google is structured, and how others weren't even allowed to *talk to* the group. (Her own intermediary was only allowed to talk to a employee in a different department, who in turn passed messages to the enforcement team.)
The impression I get is that Google assumes all problems, even human problems, have technical solutions that can be automated. The issue with this is that these solutions work when they are a proof of concept and a human can jump in to correct course when it goes wrong. But as soon as they scale up, it becomes unmanageable and unmaintainable.
@@n00dl3 it's not just google, just remember that
@@n00dl3 This is there way of saving money. A proper team that could police and handle issues on UA-cam would be huge. Not impractical, mind you, but costly. Google and many other large platforms would rather not have to pay money to manage their business, so instead they write algorithms. And while that's not unreasonable as a first-pass filter, anything flagged the by algorithm still needs to be reviewed by a human to ensure it makes sense. That's where so many companies cut too many corners and just don't bother.
I've had similar issues with Etsy. Let's say someone says they didn't receive their item. I have tracking info showing they did, but it doesn't matter; seconds after the complaint is filed, Etsy has already "reviewed it" and awarded a refund to the buyer. I've had similar issues where customers have received their item, but thought they were getting something different because they literally selected the wrong item - which they openly admitted - and Etsy just gave them their money back immediately - taking it out of my account!
Etsy also handles DMCA and similar notices much like UA-cam does: guilty until proven innocent. But Etsy takes it one step further. You don't get to appeal or otherwise prove your innocence - the only way to get it overturned is to have the complainant *file a retraction*. Yeah, right, like some automated copyright bot is going to listen to me, realize the error of their ways, and file a retraction. It doesn't happen. I've even had notices where the link pointing to my violating content was clearly a placeholder; one said "See attached document" where a URL should have been - a document that I couldn't possibly have received because they aren't included in notices.
The entire system of companies using automation without oversight is the real problem with AI. When AI is used to augment human abilities, it can be a wonderful force multiplier. When it's used to entirely replace human abilities, it's an unaccountable liability that randomly punishes people without even knowing why.
UA-cam is broken, and so is much of the rest of the Internet, and even the business we deal with daily in the physical world.
I have a bank appointment next week. By UA-cam's logic if the bank gets robbed tonight I should be charged as an accomplice because I plan to see where the crime happened at some point in the future.
There are two parties responsible for the content on UA-cam; The uploader and UA-cam.
They're allowed to enforced whatever restrictions they want for what you are allowed to post. In theory that's not even a big deal... provided their policies make sense. That's their right as owning and operating the platform.
Holding people responsible for content they have literally nothing to do with however? That's seriously passing the buck. And I suspect could be grounds for a class action lawsuit... Except they have enough money to be legally untouchable. Because dystopia.
This is absolutely _baffling_ . So if I add a video to any of my playlists, even if it's a private playlist, I can get a strike because of it? Even if the video in question doesn't violate _any_ policies? This is actual BS.
I hope that this is just an _extremely_ big misunderstanding. At the same time, I agree with you and hope there's another platform to rival UA-cam, because this happens like every month for no reason and it's getting ridiculous.
And you know what's even worse? They do that while at the same time giving the worst kinds of people a free pass to do whatever they want and they don't get punished. 🤦♀
There are rival platforms to UA-cam, but unfortunately they seem to attract some...weird...content.
Out of all of them, I hear "Rumble" is the most sane. I've never used it and I don't know much about it, so this isn't an endorsement.
@@Protofallit's a hub for alt right weirdos
I once had a music playlist deleted without explanation, not even so much as an email, just went to my bookmark of it and the page was blank with a banner at the top saying it had been removed due to a violation. I managed to use browser devtools to force open the Send Feedback tool on that page and complained about how difficult it would be to go through and find all that music again. A while later after I had rebuilt the playlist, I got an email saying my playlist appeal form submission had been reviewed and accepted, even though I never submitted any form nor knew how to do so, and suddenly my old playlist was back. I can only imagine that someone at UA-cam saw my feedback and knew more than me on what to do and was kind enough to actually submit some secret form for me.
wait, our private playlists to "watch later" are considered to be OUR CONTENT?
Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyep!
@@VideoGameAnimationStudy i'm lost for words - thats absurd!
Wait, it was your favourites playlist? So not something you made? Your channel got a warning for watching a video somebody else made which is hosted on their website?
UA-cam is broken. It's only going to get worse, I assume. It's the reason why making videos on UA-cam is a hobby for me, not a job.
Yep, it was a private playlist. But I violated a policy somehow.
Same thing happened to me years ago, a good while after COPPA rolled out. Some videos in my old favorites playlist somehow got me a channel strike. The reason was also child safety. I was just a kid over a decade ago so I probably had a lot of kid oriented stuff added in the playlist, like UA-cam Poops or someone playing with Ben 10 action figures putting on silly voices, just dumb innocuous stuff like that.
Damn that's annoying, sorry to hear that! God, COPPA, those were the good old days....
@@VideoGameAnimationStudy I went back to check if I still had the message YT sent me in 2020 because I remembered the amount of videos being removed was an absurd amount, and it was “Around 400 videos in this playlist have been deleted from UA-cam”. Also it was just a warning rather than a strike since it was my first time
This is the first time I've heard people getting warnings and strikes for whats in their playlists.
UA-cam can be the worst 😭
Wait, YOU get a strike if SOMEONE ELSE'S video violates a policy and you added it to a playlist???? IT'S NOT YOUR VIDEO!
Welcome to whatever the hell this platform is.
This reminds me of the fact that if a video has been flagged as "for kids" (you know, the same thing that auto-disables comments), you **can't** add it to a playlist, private or not. And this makes just as much sense as what happened to you.
Thanks for the heads up, I've gone ahead and deleted all my old playlists. Thankfully I never used the favorites or watch later.
Literally Kafkaesque Process.
Somebody tweet @penguinz0 so we can get some eyes on this.
You can get a channel strike for simply having a rule violating video on ANY of your playlists. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE VIDEO IS YOURS OR NOT.
Someone get ahold of Moist Critical.
for real - great idea - this needs attention
You know it’s serious when Dan drops the animated persona
"Whatever the cool people do on UA-cam" A+ overall but dropped a few marks for not holding the mic in your hand for no reason
Oh yeah I'd definitely do that next time!
It's so frustrating that UA-cam is doing this. You are such an inspiration to me, and one of the biggest reasons I was able to get into game animation. Been studying at a game dev school for about two years now, and soon I'll hopefully land an internship at a studio. Whenever you post, a lot of the animators around me get super excited, and everyone rushes to watch whatever you've made.
What I'm trying to say is that what you are doing matters. It can be really scary to step into game animation, but you make it really interesting, entertaining, and easy to understand. I think I've learnt more about GAME animation from watching your videos on repeat, than from my teachers.
Thank you so much. I understand the dissapointment of youtubes failure to be an okay platform, but I am so greatful to have the knowledge you have shared. Best of luck
That's really lovely to hear, thank you for sharing that. I'm glad you're making good progress on your career!
I think the great thing about learning is that it can come from anywhere and everywhere. The hardest job of a teacher, especially in higher education, is not actually to _teach,_ but to get you to _learn._ And it sounds like you _have_ learned a lot!
I hope it all goes well!
Yo, mind me asking which game school you attend?
@@yourhorseyepona7309 the game assembly in Sweden >:3 !!!
Stuff like this makes me want a rating system like the ESRB so stuff like this can be prevented. It would also prevent videos trying to be "family friendly".
they allready do it in the intnernet for decades for seatimg sercies all the way bacnk in the late 1990s. for the inernet viedos its bascly THE EXACT SAME AS the tv and movies but youtube just refuse to use it even if they keep being told to until the usa or others conoterys adtziers keep trying yto beat youtube wit had paoclsises on the head of good and youtube to bacly try to force them to folow the onmral standerd sooner or later but the lnoger youtube and google keep resitting the hader the adtivment soponser that give google the ad conrects will hit ahrder and hearde nutill more lawsuits force them to do it the FCC and othe contery gomverment intenet relgators will force google to bacly folow the internet gide lines of a rateing standerd. we allready have areating sistem that sutable for the inernet but youtube and google just refuse to use it even at there own dentment.
To be specific, a USER controlled rating system. UA-cam already has an automated one where it classifies videos as "UA-cam Kids". This is pretty annoying because that algorithm is also retroactive and applies to videos uploaded a decade ago, and when a video is marked as "For Kids", the comment section is disabled. It tends to affect a lot of cartoons/animations, even if the content isn't actually suitable for kids (Such as a video showing Sonic bleed a little).
But then creators get the last laugh by re-uploading with changes to force the algorithm to deem it "Not suitable for kids". I've seen stuff like a bunch of F-Bombs at the end of the video, or an intro showing a cute Chao's head exploding.
@@ProtofallIt was implied, but thanks for making my point clearer.
You can get in trouble for playlists? That's silly.
It _is_ silly!
And here I thought UA-cam can't get any more broken and a bully towards their users and creators.
Get a grip of yourself Google
This is the thing, I don't think Google even knows how their systems work anymore. They're just running rampant.
That policy to not tell you is probably not to protect the system, it's to protect themselves because it'll reveal some biases or targeting. Same reason most employers won't tell you why you were let go or not hired.
You're probably right
It's probably also because they literally don't know. The algorithm flagged it, and the algorithm is the one true source of knowledge. The algorithm is sacred - it's what makes them money. So no, you can't know anything about the algorithm, and nobody outside of a very small group that maintains the algorithm is allowed to know anything about it. All anyone else can say is, "If you got flagged, it must be because you violated one of the guidelines." It's the perfect circular logic that makes all of these gigantic AI models so dangerous - nobody knows how they work well enough to explain any given decision they make, but they rely on them so much, that they have to assume its decisions are good. The emperor has no clothes.
I saw your community post a few weeks ago and did a test for a playlist with the video you got striked for. So far I haven’t had any results. I even made the playlist public.
It makes it even harder to understand the violation when even the faintest possible answer is inconsistent. I know I’m not nearly as big as you in subscribers, but if that was a factor, it does raise some suspicion about UA-cams’ motives…
Then again, that would be going a little too far too quick, and the agent could be wrong and maybe it’s some combination of videos in your favourites playlist, not just that Mario one. Still, what a mess of dumb algorithmic rules and regulation.
Yeah, the more I uncover, the more I think it wasn't the suprer mayro one, but it could have been any number of the 1,200 videos on the playlist...
I’ve had to deal with problems like this myself, I have a channel that’s just a few years younger than yours. I found out through a bit of shenanigans with UA-cam (because nothing can ever be simple) the first thing I found out was that due to the age of my account, many of the things applied to it from UA-cam have run into problems with each other.
For example, remember when they tried to force Google+ (not a subscription service) on everyone who had a UA-cam account? Yeah, if you by chance did what they were forcing you to do back then, you’re gonna run into some problems now.
Also sometime within the past couple years they have been trying to get users to verify/authenticate their account. IE provide proof that you are who you say you are (show your ID) now if you don’t do that, or if you didn’t even know it was a thing they wanted you to do, guess what you’ll run into some problems. As a matter of fact they restrict certain things from being accessed on your account, there are quite a few restrictions.
Oh and if you happened to have an old “favorites” playlist that was created back in the day, that too is a problem. As a matter of fact the playlist you showed was over the video limit for a playlist, currently the video limit for playlists is 5,000 I don’t know if it changes if you have more subscribers or not, but that’s the limit I’ve run into. So that could also be your problem, but I don’t see how that violates any rules as nebulous as they are.
UA-cam is beyond broken, and Google isn’t keen on fixing it, as a matter of fact they have just continued to break it further with every major update.
I hope your issue gets resolved, and yeah that “school lesson” thing they give you is pointless, teaches you absolutely nothing. Strikes are a pain, and what’s worse is when the appeal process refuses to have any effect. Good luck man, and Happy Easter!
What the actual fuck!? So sorry you’re having to deal with this 😢
Thanks, yeah it's a bit crap.
The same thing happened to me 1 year ago. I even got a channel strike because of that, and I found no way to appeal. 1000 video playlist... gone. I hate this platform.
Technically speaking for UA-cam competitors, there is Nico Nico, but that is mostly Japanese only, and I don't know how well that work for creators. But this is pathetic to a next level, UA-cam got tired of annoying people for the videos they make, and now they are starting to annoy people for the videos they watch? Whoever is running that company should get an award for stupidity.
This is not the first time I've heard of someone being hit by this 'things in your favourites playlist cause a community guidelines strike' bs. Particularly bs considering the guidelines having changed a lot over the past 15 years. "Well this video was fine but now that it isn't we're going to strike everyone who ever favourited it" - I think it might have been that same Super Mayro 64 'child safety policy' that was hinted to be the thing causing it.
(Also love the "we aren't allowed to tell you what thing you did that violates our policies (:" thing. A* for transparency for the people making you money there, UA-cam, no notes. That doesn't just impact this, that seems to be a _general_ thing of UA-cam's)
(I stopped using the watch later playlist when I realized I just kept things on there for eternity and didn't watch them. Guess I should delete everything on it)
As an aside, why is there no way to mass remove videos from your watch later playlist? The reason I stopped using it - It had reached nearly 1000 videos and that was stressing me out - makes it _very_ inconvenient to clear things from it manually.
Because UA-cam know how to run things in a clever, convenient and competent way
Dude, youtube has been such a dumpster fire lately (meaning the last 3/4 years)...my hope is lost.
Wow, excellent. I guess I have to scrub through the 4900 videos in my favorites playlist now? My favorites playlist dates back to 2006... Imagine getting a strike for favoriting a video 18 years ago... Absolutely ridiculous!!
Something similar happened to me a long time ago, so this is nothing new. My favorites got deleted because of one or two videos that violated the guidelines. None of the videos in the playlist were mine and I was never told what was removed or why.
This kind of feature is sure to do more harm than good. I can see many innocent channels being terminated because of this alone.
It reminds me of the South Park guys. When they made movies independently, the MPAA would tell them they need to edit out offensive bits, but wouldn't tell them which bits they needed to edit, because it's "against their policy." Then later when they made movies in the Hollywood system, they found out the MPAA very much does haggle specifics with major studios (you can have two uses of penis if you edit out %#£), and just jerks around little guys because they can.
More people need to be aware of this! This the most blatantly stupid thing I've ever seen UA-cam do!
We need more transparency regulations for digital platforms jfc
UA-cam is simply a disaster. This is what happens with monopolies - if you have no competition, you have no reason to try to win over your customers. Instead, the optimal play is to spend the minimum possible and provide the minimum level of satisfaction possible so that you can maintain your revenue stream while reducing your expenses.
It's all income over expenses. Every month there's a new ad being shoved somewhere: pre-roll ads, mid-roll ads, "suggested content" thrown in the middle of your feed, and so much more. At the same time, every amount of customer service and quality control is cut to reduce expenses. The algorithm manages everything; there are no longer any people who can second-guess it and correct it when it clearly makes a mistake. Even their policy of "we can't tell you what you did wrong" comes down to them literally not knowing because the algorithm said so and they have no idea how it makes its decisions. The fact that they even have agents is surprising to me (try contacting anybody at Etsy), but they seem to be little more than PR people, because inevitably the most they can do is say they will dig into it, only to talk to the same clueless people and get the same unhelpful response.
Yeah. UA-cam is so opaque it's dumb. Really makes me miss vidme.
Also youtube: "bots? What bots?"
i hate this website sometimes. is a shame that its so big and well known that any competition is either under a bill to soon be removed or just dying off after two weeks of its inception
I’m not sure I’ve ever commented on your videos, but I’ve been watching them for years! Just want to say thanks for putting up with UA-cam. 👍
Yeah, I've heard about this with other creators and it's absolutely ridiculous. Best of luck man. I enjoy your content so hope you get that video up soon.
I’m very sorry you have to deal with this idiocracy. Your channel is one of the best (and nicest) resources when it comes to gaming animation, thx for all the inspiring work.
UA-cam is a broken mess, and it really sucks. I'm really sorry you have to deal with that.
Also, I didn't know you could get a strike for the Watch Later playlist. That's insane!
Insane finding out that this is a thing they do enforcement for in the first place. It sounds like a "don't make a playlist about how to do terrorism" policy that got mismanaged and automated into a hulking behemoth of opaque rules and bureaucracy.
The watch later playlist? For me, it's sometimes maxed at 5000 videos... I say "maxed" because... It literally cannot fit any more... 1 video out of 5000 can do that harm... And as it's "watch later" I have no clue what could be in them because I literally, by definition.. have not seen the content?
Whaaaa?
why would it even be possible to be punished for someone elses content, its beyond absurd.
I don't get how private playlists are considered "content", even ones auto generated by youtube such as favourites and watch later. Literally what is the point of playlists if you get punished for someone elses video? I guess we'll just wait until a new platform releases to replace youtube.
Sad to hear about this...
I really love your content, hope it will be fixed or changed soon cause it just makes no sense
The little bits from the game you're making looks very sweet. I'd love to see more about it, and some of the approaches you're using. Posting videos about this would also have the added benefit of promoting it. You haven't linked to any store page for the game, so I'm assuming you don't want to share it yet, or don't have set up anything yet, but at least from what I read about indie gamedev, the Steam Wishlist is very important for financial success, as about 10% of people who Wishlist will on average buy the game. (The exact number might be off, I just seem to remember reading this somewhere.)
Thanks for the Thoughts and feedback, I think talking about game animation fundamentals using my own game as examples would be a great approach, thanks for the suggestion and info!
Well, I just manually deleted 15 years of playlists. Thank you youtube, for penalising me for using the features on your platform even more than usual.
I've never heard of this before. You can get in trouble for adding a video that's against UA-cam's rules to a private playlist, even though you didn't make the video?!And they'll delete your entire playlist instead of just removing the offending video.
My watch later has hundreds of videos in it so if this ever happened to me I'd lose my damn mind.
Okay I knew UA-cam was a broken system but wth??
I know, right
:(
Definitely they are too connfy beeing the Best (by far) videos platform, more issues arrise everytime
This is what happens when a platform is too big to fail.
This video is going to permanently live on my watch later, favorites, and a reference private playlist.
I heard recently that UA-cam was valued at $400 billion. You’d think they would hire a couple of actual people with that kind of dosh.
There are roughly thirty years of content uploaded to UA-cam. Every day. Even on 2x speed, good luck hiring enough people to watch even a fraction of those.
The agents could at least all read the same script and have the same information.
They behave like that because they are monopoly. We need competitor for things to become civilized again
This is the most broken violation of all time
A few content creators I know about are going to nebula.
Yeah I've heard a few people go to that.
Just chiming in as another Nebula user, it'd be great to see your videos over there!
Nebula is also better for educational content. A lot of great educational content is getting fucked.
another Nebula user here, the only downside is the lack of a comments section, but as an archive of your essays it's top tier stuff
>:(
Sorry you have to go through this. I really enjoy your videos.
I understand public, widely-seen playlists being considered content and liable to getting deleted over an offending vid, but private playlists do literally nothing.
Ass backwards logic.
Hearing you mention "Oh do I just record this for my channel, or just enjoy the game" resonates with me. Even just talking while I play a game (mostly reading out dialogue) gets me physically exhausted to the point where my gameplay channel that I share with my friend just kinda stopped being updated outside of a random live stream or quick video because it just doesn't feel worth the effort anymore, especially with how UA-cam treats its users.
I hope UA-cam gets its head out of it's own ass soon enough, because this is getting more ridiculous as time goes on.
Nebula seems like a pretty good UA-cam alternative. I only have personal experience as a consumer, but a few content creators I like have been creating content over there and it seems to work well enough.
Oh wow, I didn't realize UA-cam was *this* incompetent
Get banned for having a video doesn’t belong to you in your playlist.
We’re evolving, but backwards
Whoa, man, I agree with you! I love UA-cam so much. They consistently communicate why they're doing what they do, and they rarely ban users without reason. It's the greatest video platform of all time. Nice job, team
This sucks. To make UA-cam's job easier, I should make a playlist of "videos that violate TOS." Surely, they'll appreciate the help.
Getting penalized for someone else’s content is absolutely maddening. That is ridiculous
This sounds like a black box problem. Somebody designed the algorithm to do something, didn't document it properly, and now no one knows why it does what it does. So when it does something unexpected that hurts their users, they just kind of shrug their shoulders, decide it's too complicated to figure out, and continue on hoping that it doesn't mess anything else up.
Sounds frustrating! Good luck!
It's amazing how the exact same thing happened to me. And they deleted the whole playlist with hundreds of videos and I never knew which video was the actual problem.
I even asked the how does that makes any sense, why not delete just the video instead of giving me a strike and deleting everything. Never got a response.
Sorry to hear that!
We need more videos like this. Let's somehow make this video go viral. A big UA-camr needs to talk about this. 'There's literally nowhere else to go.' It's so real; that's the problem. That's why they're allowed to do whatever they wanna do. They have so much money to burn; no one wants to compete with them. There's a guy on UA-cam with 2 million videos, and he's still allowed to post videos. They never enforce their 'policy' equally and small guys like us; they treat us like kids. So frustrating...
Yeah, they are removing comments.
Absolute madness that a video you add to a playlist, made by someone else, can give YOU a copyright strike. One can only hope this doesn't turn into a wild Kafkaesque process, but since it is youtube that hope is slim.
Well, a policy violation, not a copyright strike, but a strike nonetheless.
Man seriously this site is just busted. It’s a while now I’ve been noticing whole comments I post getting deleted. I thought at first it was cuss words, but then I notice comments with cuss words not getting deleted and others with no cuss words getting deleted. I honestly can’t make sense of it.
awwww damn man, this whole thing is infuriatingly ridiculous im v sorry however, i do want to say that i really enjoy your content and i hope we don't lose u to yt's stupidity, your videos are just so great and interesting
So...I don't make content...but I have years of saved playlists. I could have my account banned if something violates a policy on a friggin playlist? Crazy, how is that my responsibility?
I know, right?
So let me get this straight, you're saying that you got a warning because their system flagged someone else's video and you're only in trouble because you saved it to a playlist? Jesus UA-cam.
Yeah, pretty shitty.
seems to me that the ways UA-cam is architected has led to some apparently‐reasonable conclusions which are totally unreasonable in combination:
1) there is no distinction between UA-cam accounts and UA-cam channels; they are the same thing. that way, everyone can become a “content creator”! it’s like letting every video game console also be a devkit, which doesn’t unreasonable on its face, but…
2) there is (almost) no distinction between lists of videos maintained for personal account use and lists of videos maintained as part of a channel; they are all considered “content”. private playlists arguably can’t be distinct here because they could be made public later to be exposed as part of a channel’s “content”, and indeed this happens regularly as channels will often keep playlists private until they’re done building them. the only distinction is the apparent one mentioned here, which is “Liked videos” being exempt from content policies. (i thought this might be deducible by end‐users because the “Liked videos” playlist does not show up in UA-cam Studio, but the “Watch Later” playlist is the same way and yet Dan’s told it does NOT have that exemption!) but UA-cam got rid of the “Favourites” button and turned every channel’s existing favourited videos into a playlist subject to their content policies, so who’s to say they won’t do the same for “Liked videos” in the future? whoever within UA-cam did that data migration might not even have been aware of this opaque consequence!
simply making all playlists exempt from content policies probably wouldn’t be a good option, otherwise there are almost certainly loopholes that bad actors could abuse here. one solution could be to have a separate feature/section for “bookmarks” or “personal playlists” which can never be changed from private to public. this would be cumbersome to say the least; it would not be obvious to most users that the reason they can’t share their curated “mix tape” bookmark list with their friends is because that would make it “content” subject to UA-cam’s content policies. however, maintaining the system as it is currently exists also obviously not tenable.
speaking of generative statistical models, how certain can we be that you were talking to actual human agents and not just chatbots giving you incorrect information? those are becoming more prevalent! for examples prevalent in the media, Air Canada was forced by a court to honour a refund policy its chatbot invented, and NYC notably has a chatbot that lies to people about city laws and regulations.
This is the first time I've heard of this kind of specific thing, and it's truly disgusting. I don't know why YT keeps allowing fraudulent claims and warnings, and it's even for something that SOMEONE ELSE did and not you. I just wish there existed viable alternatives. I guess I'll delete my private playlists and not Watch anything Later...
Honestly, there's no knowing what UA-cam is going to do next.
Hmm, UA-cam is almost broken like the justice system.
I think that Nebula thing is trying to be a competitor to UA-cam as well.
"if you knew the rules, you could find a way to circumvent the rules."
-literally the most bonkers policy I've ever heard
Just because the word kafkaesque exists, does not mean that UA-cam should treat its content creators that way. It's so mindboggling that they don't allow you to do better by informing you.
