My video was removed for no reason

I've moved this to the copyright / claims / strikes discussion forum.

The only potential thing I can think of based on what you've said so far is the idea of food in the bathtub. Lately, lots of kids have been eating Tide Pods because of videos that have been illustrating them as tasty snacks. Perhaps bathing in hot chocolate is considered to be similar to the "eating soap" videos that are being heavily monitored.

I can also see YouTube reading “hot chocolate” and thinking that that’s too dangerous and shouldn’t be shown. Considering the recent Tide Pod eating, they may be trying to crack down on other potentially hazardous stuff. There was another thread on here from someone who said her video was taken down because the title was about her eating soap, but her video was her making candy that looked like soap.

If those are the reasons that really sucks. It proves that YouTube never truly looks through videos to determine if they’re okay or not, because if they had looked through my video they would have known that the video was just fine

that’s sucks man.

did they gave you options like dispute or request manual review?
Perhaps you should do that, to get clearer reason

Are you a minor? YouTube is removing content that is attracting pedophiles.

Shirtless kids? Not acceptable.

Filling the bathtub with hot chocolate? If you were in the tub, not acceptable.

That may be it...man that sucks. Not gonna lie, I'm terrified right now, cause I have a few other videos where I'm shirtless and I don't want my effort to be thrown away.....

Family channels have been ravaged by these same problems that you are encountering. Entire channels have been shut down.

I may be blunt but I'm taking the time to share what has been happening. It's up to you if you want to risk your channel by keeping certain types of content.

Swimming in your underwear? Why do you think that's your most popular video? Or, do you really want to know...

Oh believe me...I know. Many-a-comments have been deleted from that video. I mean I understand what YouTube's doing, but I just wish I would have been told the reason, would've saved a lot of hassle.
Thank you though for helping me figure out what happened, I'd say your reason is the most likely. And I'll definitely be staying away from tubs and closer to shirts in the near future.
