YouTube is addressing a recent issue where many creators have had their channels unexpectedly deleted. These creators believe their channels were removed in error.
As a YouTube fan, it’s kinda frustrating to see all the rules creators have to follow just to keep their channels going. It seems like if they mess up, they get warnings – strikes, they call them – before YouTube actually shuts them down. It’s a system designed to keep things in check, but it can be tough on content creators!
In early November, tech YouTuber Enderman reported that several of their YouTube channels had been unexpectedly shut down. They stated the terminations were incorrect, and it turned out they were due to three copyright strikes issued on a channel that doesn’t create content in English.
The YouTuber claimed they didn’t know anything about the account being flagged, and they weren’t alone. Several other creators experienced unexpected video removals and are now asking YouTube for explanations about how its automatic moderation and AI systems work.
YouTube finally respond to wave of channel deletions
On November 13, the Google-owned platform cleared a few things up with a lengthy announcement.
I’ve been noticing a ton of people on social media tagging @TeamYouTube and the YouTube Liaison with questions about how YouTube handles content moderation and its automated systems. Apparently, just this past week, the @TeamYouTube folks teamed up with the Trust & Safety team to look into hundreds of posts and the channels behind them – going above and beyond their usual process. It’s good to see them actively addressing what we’re all talking about!
As a fan, I was really glad to hear that most of the account decisions were confirmed as correct. There were just a few tricky cases that were changed, which is understandable. And it’s super reassuring to know everything is running smoothly on their end – they said their systems are working perfectly. I did see some old screenshots going around about a help message, but apparently that was from an issue they fixed way back on October 4th, so it wasn’t anything to worry about now.
YouTube explained that many of the channels recently banned were posting content considered unhelpful or deceptive. They also stated they’ve long relied on a combination of automated systems and human reviewers to monitor content.
We rely on automated tools to swiftly and effectively identify problematic content. However, human review is equally important for understanding complex situations and improving those automated systems. Ultimately, it’s a collaborative process that requires both technology and people!
YouTube clarified that they only review one appeal per channel. If creators submit multiple appeals, they’ll simply be directed back to their initial email, and this won’t speed up the process.
