  • YouTube video removal

    Do you want to know why youtube remove videos?

    Well there are a few reasons and I am afraid its down to you lot. I did a test video of my dog sitting for 35 seconds and then I posted the video I put the link on a wetting/pooping site and left it within 10 hours the video had been removed.

    I emailed YouTube and asked them A) Why they removed my harmless video B) Who removes it and C) Who makes the decision to remove videos.

    The answer I got back an answer which was the standard rubbish so I wrote back demanding they answer. OK this is the reply.

    Dear *************

    I am sorry that you do not agree with YouTube decision to remove your video of your dog. The decision to remove a video is never taken lightly there are points that YouTube look at, the content, the feedback, complaints and where a reciprocal link is sited.
    In the case of your video a reciprocal link was placed on a adult site and YouTube believe that this will encourage certain adult videos to be placed on YouTube and this breaches YouTube terms and conditions. If you wish to keep your videos on YouTube then do not place reciprocal links on adult websites. Youtube have a duty of care to other YouTube users and will remove any adult content that YouTube deems a breach of YouTube terms and conditions.
    You may upload your video again but be aware that any reciprocal link from site that YouTube deem unsuitable it will be removed and your YouTube account will be closed.

    Regards

        Really, the reply was that poorly written? I call bullshit.

          While the email isn't exactly written to a very good standard, which raises questions about its validity, I'm pretty sure he's got a point even if he made the email up. It is extremely easy to see where your video is being visited from using Youtube's insight feature, and even if Youtube itself doesn't monitor that kind of thing (which I find likely because how on earth would they keep up with the thousands of vids uploaded every second) the uploader sure might. I know if I were some college student who uploaded a video of her friend pissing herself drunk and suddenly I had dozens of views coming in from a fetish site, I might be inclined to take the vid down. Assuming I'm in an alternate universe where I care about that sort of thing, of course.

          So, yeah, to sum things up, it's probably not a bad idea to make your link untraceable (by forcing a copy+paste) even if youtube isn't actively monitoring referrers, because unless the uploader clearly put it up with the intent of it turning people on, they will most likely figure out what's going on and pull the video of their own accord.

                You cannot blame people for thinking that you made it up when it is so badly written.

                Youtube have a duty of care to other YouTube users and will remove any adult content that YouTube deems a breach of YouTube terms and conditions.
                Come on. The email uses the word Youtube four times in one sentance. I cannot beleive that Youtube would reply with such a personalised email in the first place, let alone use such bad wording.

                  I am leaning towards believing the e-mail from youtube is genuine.

                  Previously I had dealings with youtube when they removed a video I had posted citing a copyright claim.

                  However, the video and its soundtrack consisted entirely of material that I had created. Content shouldn't have been an issue, as it was a mainstream video with no questionable content at all.

                  In the dealings I had with youtube, several of the e-mails I received from them were poorly written. There were spelling errors, run on sentences, and grammatical mistakes.

                  I believe they probably just have some interns respond to these e-mails who probably don't proof read before clicking the send button.

                    Why?

                    You think geeks write flowing, proper English? I have had atrociously written emails from customer services at Facebook, Vodafone (UK mobile network) and many others besides.

                    Just look at the poor quality of English on this board, why would a global corporation paying peanuts have Shakespeare in their staff!?

                      Because it would save them the money for the law suits and the other monkeys?
                      People, get over it: youtube is a business. They are only into it for the money, so they don't care about you. Their business is mainstream movies, not anything that could possibly be interpreted as porn, because that could cause them problems. For every pee movie we post there's 2000 or more republican religious freaks from the States giving them a hard time. That's 2000 to 1... Of course that's fictitious number, but you get what I mean...

                        XD
                        Do you think geeks work in customer services? They just hire cheap staff and make them follow strict protocols. Their managers know what it is about and their managers kinda know what they are doing. That's about how it goes.

                        Besides that, all the geeks I know (including me) at least try to use proper English.

                        I might not be good at it, but it's not my native language, and my field of knowledge isn't exactly related to any (natural) language.

                          I think youtube should make a part of their site just for adult content. YouTube has lots of users who are under 18 years of age and may not want to see this kind of videos. Also sometimes when someone who's into this fetish comments on a peeing video on youtube they make really strong comments regarding the video or the peeing in it and sometimes the people that put those videos up are not really into the fetish and do it just to get a laugh at the situation and the comments might drive them to remove the video or complain to youtube.

                            Not in UK call centres and website customer services, that's for sure!
