A couple of my videos, as well as many other cubing videos from various others, are being removed from YouTube on the basis of misleading information. Here's an email I got:
Now there wasn't really any misleading information. Our best guess is that YouTube doesn't know what scrambles are and think that it's "repetitive content," but even if that's the case, how are we going to share scrambles within the video? What about my 4BLD tutorial videos which show all the setup moves for every target? Are they grounds for removal as well?
Normally I wouldn't make a thread about this, but since this is happening to a lot of cubers and a lot of videos and it's not just an isolated incident, I wanted to bring it to the forum's attention. What's all this about?
