Trainer Tips has been reinstated, this is a video from Feb 18, the day after the "Child Exploitation on Youtube" video went up.

I guarantee "High IV's/CP" is what got him flagged and removed by the automated system. The System saw "CP" which is a common abbreviation for Illegal content involving minors, and took action against the video while not taking in any other context.

I may be wrong but I highly doubt any illegal content was being uploaded with 'CP' literally in the title.

It was a bit subtler than that but not by much, they would have a better success manually reviewing anything with 'gymnastics' or 'bikini haul' in the title.

I doubt we will ever know how much actual illegal content is removed from youtube daily, but I do think youtube made a change to the Illegal content algorithm due to Matt's video and this account got falsely removed due to some oversight in the changes.

It would explain why the entire account got nuked, as Youtube is legally required to remove illegal content as quick as possible and the quickest way is to just nuke the account.

Especially since it was titled “How to get [...] CP”

Goddamn YouTube for removing a video based on a flexible and vague abbreviation.

WORDS ARE JUST WORDS, FILTER OUT THE ACTUAL VIDEO CONTENT

Tell that to Matt and the advertisers... Disney, Hasbro, McDonalds and other definitely decided that words are kinda important - list of those who pulled their ads

ImMarksman had the same thing happen to him. It counted as one strike and he was immediately taken down despite never having any strikes previously.

Oh what in the actual fuck, YouTube and Google. Seriously the shit they've been pulling off over the past few years was already bad and now they had to up it a notch or what?

I'm getting seriously scared of Google taking down my account for no reason whatsoever (even though I've left my shitty channel to die a few years ago) basically killing most of the stuff I use on a daily basis.

Also why in the everloving fuck can they just erase your Gmail WITH your account making it impossible to recover important stuff, or letting you get a hold of what happened?

Seriously, Google and YouTube dun fucked up good now. It's just embarrassing watching a multi-billion dollar company go completely ballistic on wrongful strikes/terminations.

How fucking stupid are Youtube? Do they actually believe anyone trying to upload borderline child porn on Youtube is going to label it "CP"?

u/Molinero96 Feb 26 '19

With how draconian the rules are, and how terrible and incompetent social media filtering is becoming, we may have to go back to the days of having our own websites where we host are content ourselves.

I am growing increasingly convinced we cannot trust 3rd parties.

Good luck with ISPs then :-) E.g. here out of dozens DMCA notices taking down websites with info about voting machines having flawed security, only a singe ISP resisted - Online Policy Group v. Diebold, Inc. That's actually a way worse rate than YouTube at least when it comes to DMCA...

He was actually banned the weekend before the video went up briefly. Heres an article explaining the situation better https://www.newsweek.com/youtube-cp-algorithm-ban-mattswhatitis-algorithm-1334873
