On October 29th, @YouTube sent an email out to all creators about their updated community guidelines surrounding gambling content. No longer would gambling sponsors be allowed in videos, which is completely understandable, and they gave all creators until November 17th to edit these segments from their videos. Fortunately for me, I had made a decision to stop taking gambling sponsors months prior to this, and had already removed all gambling from my videos. Unfortunately for me, YouTube seem to be insistent on using AI to detect community guidelines violations, and have now (so far) removed two of my videos for breaching the updated community guidelines, even though I cut these segments out of my videos exactly like they had instructed in the email. They very specifically said to edit out these sections using their in built video trim tool, which is exactly what I had done, yet my videos were still wrongfully taken down. Why the AI flags portions of the video that have been cut out and aren't visible on YouTube, I do not know, but I do know that it is dumb and potentially very damaging not just for myself. Of course, I requested a 'manual' review of these decisions and was quickly met by a denial, being told that the decision was correct and final. It would be nice if someone could actually manually review these, rather than getting an automated response from YouTube less than 20 minutes after requesting the review. Not only is it annoying that two videos have been removed, it is extremely concerning that many more could potentially follow, even though I have done exactly as YouTube requested and removed any violating content from all my videos. @YouTubeCreators @YouTubeGaming @YouTube
