YouTube is Removing Cubing Videos

[EvilGnome6]

This is what happens when people use proprietary services that are "free". At some point, they need to monetize the content and if the content can't be monetized, there's no reason for them to spend money on storing it for you.

Had one removed 2 days ago. I think Im just going to start a new channel because of some other stuff too.

What did you say in your appeal? I just tried to explain that the scrambles are the notation that we use to scramble

I don't remember exactly, basically something along the lines of "I don't see anything about this video that goes against the guidelines"
I wasn't specific at all

Another one of my videos have been removed. A clock average of 12 which I reuploaded, and two 3x3 averages of 12. All of these videos had scrambles in, so I removed scrambles from all the videos I don't have copies of. And now I have copies of all videos I give some remote care about.

If you guys want to add scrambles, I recommend you add them to the comments instead of the description, and actually put something wordy there, we'll see if this prevents removals.

I'm guessing YouTube is flagging the videos as having "large amounts of untargeted, unwanted, or repetitive content". If you post scrambles in the video description, especially for an average solve, you're bound to end up with what can be incorrectly interpreted as repetitive content; R2s, U2s...

Y'all can try raising a storm on Twitter with @YouTube.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! YouTube is removing my videos! 2 have already been removed!!!

 

[brandbest1]

So I've had 3 videos removed so far... and yesterday I discover they removed my 12.44 Square-1 avg12...

So now I gotta put all these algs used in tutorials in pastebin?? this is absurd...

This is what you should say on all of your videos with scrambles and you should be fine.

Scrambles are unavailable to be public because of this: https://www.speedsolving.com/forum/...-Removing-Cubing-Videos&p=1093956#post1093956

Hey everyone,

I talked to some people in YouTube policy about this. I can't go into too much detail, but the short answer is please appeal videos that have been taken down because of this. I believe you can do that from the video manager page (sorry, I don't know the details on where that button is; I don't really use youtube that much).

You shouldn't have to remove scrambles from video descriptions. If this continues to be a problem please continue to post videos that are taken down to this thread, I'll keep watching here. But please appeal videos, and tell others to do the same.

You do it from the video manager. You just click the warning in the removed video and it sends you to the appeal page.

Thanks for communicating for us, Tim!

Thanks for the advice.

I checked my Video Manager.
Found that 3 videos have been taken down.
Just appealed, will say something if anything happens.

They were all average of 12's.
I'd say it supports the scrambles in description theory.

 

[TheCoolMinxer]

just noticed two of my videos were taken down, both 3x3 avgs of 12 (9.97, 9.56) scrambles were in the description... So when I take the scrambles out, they will make it public again?
