I get what you're saying but I think the fact that they had no previous strikes on their video is just due to the fact that YouTube wasn't looking for this stuff until now. Sure there were report buttons but I don't think reports were followed up on, and the bot that flags these things is a new system.HelloSweetie wrote:I feel bad for them if others are allowed to keep their channels and do the same thing (vlog, not post inappropriate content). I don't think the YT crackdown requires previous warnings, but having no strings against them and then losing the entire channel does seem extreme when others are continuing on. Having no strikes against her, it doesn't seem the videos "in the past" are even the issue. She loses her channel, and yet Jared still has potty thumbnails of Jackson up that haven't been deleted? They all need to be held accountable, or YT needs to have a way for creators to dispute their case should they get caught up in the algorithm. It isn't a matter of people reviewing these vlogs and shutting them down.... it's a bot. It could actually have been nothing to do with the children that triggered the demonetization. I'm wondering if it was her "Bad Day" vid where she talked of wanting to not censor herself and to be able to say "gun" if she wanted to. That'll do it.
As far as I know, the only real way to get strikes on your channel before this was to get flagged for copyright violations. Those were the only real violations YT cared about until very recently.
