  • UPDATE: The video has been UN-age restricted. UA-cam actually made a good call for once.
    Let this victory serve as inspiration for complainers everywhere.
    This year UA-cam decided to wish me a happy Halloween by completely demolishing my latest video with no specific explanation. I didn't realize fictional horror movies were an issue on this site until now. In a vacuum it sort of makes sense; R-rated movies are somewhat equivalent to an age-restricted UA-cam video, but given the dozens of other reviews of The Thing which already subsist on the platform without issue, I assumed that I would be in the clear. When I posted it, the video was initially approved for all ads with no copyright violations. I just wish UA-cam's systems were more consistent. The platform's seeming unwillingness to be transparent with its reasoning and enforcement has created a culture of fear and paranoia for any channel who wants to upload anything more complex than preschool playtime for babies.

      As someone who has studied history this statement couldn't be more true. One nation beats up another that was crippled cuz some guy was backstabbed only to have it happen to them. People rarely take a step back and look at it from a logical standpoint. For example, having UA-cam Kids but still limiting the adult version. Just use the other platform and don't ruin this one. I mean money wise you're gonna make more if your platform has everything from nursery rhymes to pornography. Just make some stuff require accounts. For larger content creators employ some bozos to review shit to judge it instead of a bot or improve the bots.

      @@theactualTVB BLM is more of a broad movement encompassing multiple tendencies and tactics than a single organization bearing that slogan as its name. The "official" org is run by harmless liberals - at this point, barely distinguishable from moderate conservatives - who would unilaterally condemn terrorism and throw more radical left BLM-adjacent orgs under the bus. Simply applying the blanket designation of "terrorist" to all BLM protestors, that's erring on the side of a lot of false positives or watering down the definition of terrorism to the point of uselessness. By a similar metric, every cop is a cold-blooded murderer because some of them have killed civilians during arrests, and lines of police clad in riot gear and backed by tanks are committing acts of terror on behalf of the state to intimidate even the most peaceful, unarmed, and naive anti-racist protestors, people who may find themselves having to throw a punch just to defend themselves as dozens of officers swarm the crowd on all sides for daring to stay out past sunset even if they were just walking home as a group.
      This extremely inclusive classification door seems like it should swing both ways, but it doesn't because scary designations like "terrorist" only ever seem to apply to non-state actors. When an officer kills a Black civilian when nonlethal force was an option, secure in the knowledge that his city will in all likelihood refuse to prosecute him via grand jury and his department will defend him at almost every step, is that particular officer *not* terrorizing the civilians in the community they're supposed to "protect and serve"? Even if you believe there are troublemakers and agent provocateurs using the protests as cover to burn shit down and wreak havoc, the root sentiment that liberal and radical anti-racists unite and rally around is opposition to these occasional instances of unchecked state terrorism
      No appeals to law and order are going to distract the (mostly poor and Black) communities subject to the sort of police terror from the reality of the situation: they're at the mercy of roaming gangs of armed men and women acting on behalf of the wealthy ruling class, some of whom can kill and kidnap people with little accountability if you allow them to find an excuse (and they can easily find an excuse) because they enjoy legal protections that criminal gangsters and other (implied to be Black or brown) "thugs" often don't, precisely *because* they're state actors. Which do you think is more dangerous to a peaceful civilian, all else equal? The gangster whose mugshot shows up on the nightly news and will very likely serve life in prison for murder with zero political pressure from the masses, or the officer whose unprovoked and premeditated killing requires sustained pressure from the masses to even warrant a manslaughter charge?
      Returning to the earlier point about false positives, the FBI terrorism watchlist and similar government terrorism lists are a fucking joke. The FBI are themselves basically federal cops, which necessarily makes them potential political enemies of a movement like BLM and motivated to use any tools at their disposal to artificially discredit, criminalize, and demonize that movement.
      This is why the FBI would want to cast a wide net to scare white and politically conservative people to turn them against ultimately just causes like the movement for Black lives and other people's movements. Such lists also provide pretext to monitor and surveil even the tamest political groups outside the liberal political mainstream, including completely nonviolent liberals for daring to question the bad behavior of even a few bad apples among the police. This is transparently a divide-and-conquer tactic to turn otherwise potentially sympathetic people who might have a common cause on other issues (especially economic issues!) against anyone using the BLM slogan.

A favorite tool of small-scale governments and capitalist arbiters everywhere against anyone who might seek to probe the edges of the rules for any reason they don't approve of. The "mad" is largely performative, in a case like UA-cam's; they're usually only too glad to re-assert their control by arbitrarily lashing out at an "offender" now and then. It keeps others wondering and worrying.

    "We’re expanding our age-restriction efforts as part of our ongoing commitment to keeping UA-cam creators and viewers safe.
    We’ll be expanding the use of automated systems, along with our team of expert reviewers, to apply age-restrictions to videos that aren’t appropriate for all ages."
    In plain english they're using another scan bot that'll take down any "violence" they see in videos. Remember the huge beef with the ice age, spongebob, and disney mascots beating another russian driver? Affecting markiplier and critical? That was only the beginning. This bot is more unstable than the ones previous. I'm scared for life.

    Hey Emp, software engineer here. From a developer's business/legal standpoint, it doesn't make sense to add a creator to a whitelist after being manually reviewed, especially if they upload a different video later. From a data analysis standpoint, a re-edited copy of the same video might as well be a completely different video, so if you upload an edited version of a manually reviewed video the algorithm has to re-evaluate it from scratch.
    I agree that the blacklist is ridiculous, but just wanted to share the technical reason this happened to you.

      If the bot flags something that it thinks is infringing in the video, then finds out later on that it's not, then it should keep a note internally that this particular thing is not a problem. The fact that it flags multiple videos by the exact same creator for the exact same thing, even after being told it's not infringing on anything, is pretty silly.

    Hi, this is UA-cam checking in with you. We saw that you had some questions as to why your video is being targeted by the site! We figured we might as well be as transparent as possible in telling you why.
    For one, your video wasn't innocuous, sanitized, childproof, and disposable. So we disposed of it for you! To succeed on our wonderful platform in the future we strongly recommend that you're edgy enough to definitely not be a violation of COPPA, but not edgy enough that a child's mom or a journalist could throw a temper tantrum.
    We also recommend that you uppload waaaaayyy more than you are now. You ought to be putting out daily videos! You have to outpace the competition! You need to be attractive so we can put your face next to lots of brands!
    We've decided that in order to help you out, we're going to delete your old catalogue and give you a clean slate to start with.
    This has been your check-in from UA-cam, goodbye and good luck!

    I am getting tired of just talking about how bad copyright is. Let's get off our butts and do something about it!

      What's worse is when people worse in the Copyright Metagame get off scot-free, while UA-camrs who are being actually transformative with materials get punished. I've seen alot of channels which are just flat out reactions to content and showing full on clips of the, in question, original material, get a pass and in some cases, applauded by UA-cam, for their works.

      @@pickyphysicsstudent201 It's why I hate reaction channels, because they can just steal videos and slap their face on it, and get the same if not MORE attention then the original creator OR the original video.
      UA-cam's system is retarded, and nothing can be done about it.
