YouTube is Removing Videos - Are You Affected?

Has anyone here monitoring channels pre 2015? I’ve been monitoring EvantubeHD, Kittiesmama, Arkadius Kul and Gabe and Garrett through Social Blade. They seemed fine.

Many of the original dozen, what I would now call The Clean Dozen, never ventured to the dark side of bad baby, learn colors with tape, spiders, snakes and the like. They would remain safe makes sense![DOUBLEPOST=1511518474,1511514870][/DOUBLEPOST]
Since your wife is Russian it can be useful for you. youtube.com/watch?v=-FoFcJG6D5A

Thanks, watched it just now. My Russian is about 85%, here goes the main points I got from the video:

-must be safe as it influences the psyche of the child
-all processes on the platform are algorithmic
-identifying all content that is not totally safe and influences the child in adverse ways
-some content made 1 to 5 years ago and it was okay, but the platform is evolving and more identifying content that will influence in a negative way the child
-there will be drastic consequnces for transgressions
-we can't give a complete list of forbidden topics, but we can say no aggressive, no weapons, syringes, narcotics, but because there are an infinite number of objects and situations, it will be an infinite list + as soon as we give a concrete list, nxt day it will circumnavigated
-don't make content that you won't want to show your own child
-basically don't make anything that can negatively influence a child
-don't violate the rights of the child: sexual, aggression, dangerous
-shocking and making kids scared is not accetable
-must be maximum safety for all viewers, if the child can repeat it and cause harm to themselves or others, it will be forbidden
-deleting videos similar to striked videos will not cause adverse effects to the channel, but any content remaining on the channel will be checked - each creator needs to make a decision how to proceed with their content they can't give concrete advice
-the creator needs to consider their reputation - if they have content that is safe, but also content that is unsafe, the creaor needs to consider what and why that content is there and how they wish to proceed with their channel, but the lady's suggestion is to have only content that is safe
-studios may claim copyright on copyrighted characters, proceed carefully and at your own peril was the jist of it, we don't ban you dressing up but in all cases it must be of maximum safety for kids
-anything the child can repeat from a video (irrespective of context such as cartoon, comedy, skit), if the child can be harmed by the content, it is not allowed
-the algorithm is identifying those channels with inappropriate content, and those with serious and multiple transgressions are deleted, but not all channels are affected, there are many safe channels that are not affected
-challenges: if forcing kids to do challenges, think if this will lead kids to do good actions and if it should be on the platform, is the challenge exploitative , for example if there are 2 kids and they are being forced to do an eating challenge with excessive amounts of chocolate or other foods, this is 100% exploitative because the child is being forced to do something detrimental to their health, emotional state and psyche (future emotional development). Hard challenges are 100% bad and this content must not be on Yt
-sexualized content: this is the most serious infraction, and will be dealt with severely
-good skits with actors in copyrighted characters - Yt can;t answer yes or not, it depends what is being acted out, how is the child treated, are their rights violated, how safe is it and effects on the psyche
-is it worth starting a new channel without "bad baby" and all the other "bad" stuff. now is the best time to start. All the stars of last week who grew their audiences by exploiting kids, they may likely find other things to do, so we welcome new creators who want to make safe content
-if a channel with 100 videos has 20 videos blocked, what will happen - block monetization, delete content, or delete channel, but it is an individual situation and there are no general answers - but if the channel is all cleaned out, one can appeal to have monetization reinstated. It doesn't really matter the % of videos, but how the content of the blocked/deleted video how bad is it - are they bad violations or minor violations
-for kids in swimsuits, think of who is watching you content, are you comfortable as a parent with disturbed thoughts watching your child, if you must film naked or swimsuits keep the video private only for your family. What do you want to show with kids in swimsuits, why are you showing? We understand everyone is angry and doesn't understand what is going on, just think of the safety of the children and we will help you.
-quesitons about monetization will be answered if your channel is clean, we are not abandoning you, always think about what you do with children

Definitely worth a watch, if you don't speak Russian, try to find a friendly neighbourhood Russian to help with translation!

So delete our channels haha.. With all that there isn't anything we CAN do.. No Nerf, seems to me no guns, no games, no challenges..
 
Today articles about the second adpocalypse are already floating the net.
Big brands have pulled their advertising from Youtube on the eve of Black Friday after it was revealed their advertisements were running before videos that can be used by paedophiles to view and share more links to abusive material.
As I wrote earlier, 2017 turns out to be the most "interesting" year for YouTube and YouTubers, and it's not even over yet.

Actually I felt better watching the whole interview.
My understanding is we will be able to appeal demonetization, just not yet.
Our transgressions were not bad enough to delete our channels, but enough to have demonetization channel wide.
The demonetization currently happening now is "punishment" (my word) for venturing into the dark side.
We have to ensure our channel is 1000% clean, and upload clean videos to show commitment to a safe kids environment.
When the time of punishment is up, we can appeal.
No idea how long - I guess a strike disappears after 3 months, perhaps we'll be demonetized for 3 months.
This is my feeling after watching it.


about the type of content - super happy, smiles all around, definitely no guns, shooting, nothing that even hints the child is forced into anything, no physical or emotional harm, pretty much no food other than regular meals...
 
Ouch dude.

Just a feeling, 3 months seems the punishment for a strike, i consider our ventures into the dark side = 1 strike, but + some kudos if you quickly cleaned your channel yourself, so it's 3 months - a few days to a few weeks kudos, so best case re-monetized in 2 months, worst case never or 3 months.

You all got a strike? Ge.. that seems extreme...we haven't as of yet.. Maybe skits would be better if we all just winged it, like Ryan's channel does, so kids aren't "forced" into doing anything..

On another note, I can't believe ToyScouter is still up! They had more poop/kidnaps/everything than Webs & Tiaras did, IMO
