DevilishlyHandsome49 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 So I guess cheap reaction channels, lame prank channels, videos of people getting killed, abuse, graphic sexual content, that can stay...but this can't? Seriously, is there any other platform to use besides that can prove to be fair competition, make Youtube shake in it's boots? A lot of Youtube's practices have disgusted me and I really don't want to be a part of it anymore if channels like this can't survive but garbage channels can. Absolute bullshit this is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcastic Coffeecup Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 What a surprise. I enjoyed IHE's videos from time to time and I agree with the man, with all the other shit on YT I'm surprised THIS got taken down. It didn't even break any rules ffs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troj Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 And it got taken down "because" of his Little Panda Warrior review, which also strikes me as fishy, since there's nothing he does in that review (from what I can tell) that other people haven't also done in their reviews of that particular piece of animated flaming garbage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnectomy Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 You think that's bad? One time I signed up for Plenty Of Fish and found myself banned the next day. When I contacted support about it: Quote After a recent review of your account and activity on POF.com, we have closed your account. We will not disclose specific details regarding your account�� closure. ... The closure of your account is permanent, and any future accounts will be automatically detected and deleted by the system. I literally did nothing and it was the most random ban I've ever received in my life. Youtube just doesn't give a shit unless you're making them money. Fuck people that flag videos for petty reasons too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To give everybody context who doesn't know IHE or what Devilishly is talking about: IHE made a Youtube video basically destroying some 'Little Panda Fighter' DVDs (throwing them against walls, bathing them, ect.). And the video got flagged by 'the community' as spam (?) and IHEs channel got taken down. Btw. IHE definitely wasn't a spam channel (as he usually just makes fun of bad movies, websites, ect) and the take down isn't really justified. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sar Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Poundland filed a slanderous review takedown notice because it shows a defective flaw in their products.

willow Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I think if enough people flag something YouTube takes it down regardless. it's nothing new and was something that definitely happened way before 2009. and since when have videos of people getting killed been allowed?? you can post them certainly but anything that's super graphic gets taken down almost immediately about 90% of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troj Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 In his latest video, IHE suggests that Youtube shows preferential treatment to channels that get tons of hits without causing too many copyright headaches (even if they break other Youtube policies), because these channels generate revenue for them. So, a channel that is actually spammy and worthless and violates the rules but draws in tons of hits is more likely dodge bullets than channels like IHE. I suspect he may be on to something there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmomma Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I've been following this shit since the Cool Cat shitstorm, which is really what highlighted how incredibly broken Youtube is. It's becoming ever more apparent that the leaders of that site have been taking customer relations and site management lessons from a certain website with an affinity for furry culture. I was rather surprised to see that the Nostalgia Critic got hit by this random (but serious to content creators on the site) wave of strikes, deletions, and suspensions for no reason, considering he does have a sizable set of channels. Also I fucking hate react channels and the prank channels and wish they would piss off back into Satan's shit bowl. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
