YouTube is Removing Cubing Videos

[wolfwood]

They even did some layout changes. I generally used to download tutorials videos but sites like keepvid are not working anymore.

More videos with scrambles in the description are still live than taken down.

Right, but all of the ones I've heard about getting taken down (At least 10 cases, if not more) have had scrambles in the description.

The 3 I lost didn't have any tags, just scrambles in the description. I think we're all 99% sure that's the actual cause.

The explanation that they clean out videos that are rarely or never watched all the way through is much more plausible, when you consider the reasons they need to clean up at all.

I suggest telling a joke during every scramble

I had two videos removed from Youtube within the last four days. They include:

3x3x3 Average of 12- 25.79
3x3x3 Average of 12: 19.55

Misleading descriptions, tags, titles, or thumbnails designed to increase views are not allowed. Tags should only be placed in the appropriate tag section and not in the description. It's also not okay to post large amounts of untargeted, unwanted, or repetitive content, including comments and private messages.

Updated with the link to the video found in the email.

This is disappointing. Luckily, none of my videos were removed, but then again, my channel is relatively new and doesn't have too many videos, so...

I swear she looks like she is being held at gunpoint while saying that stuff.

Don't take my family, please! Just follow the rules and my baby will live!

Anyone else find it funny that the YouTube "search algorithms" are finding our scramble algorithms and calling them misleading just for being a different form of algorithm? Just a thought...

 

[Dene]

Is she a robot or what? I couldn't go on listening to it, it was so horrible.

Fixed that for you

I love you.

i think you are right about this, the videos that people watch a little bit of and leave, often long averages (which often have a lot of scrambles int he description) are the ones that are most targeted.

 

[Kit Clement]

I imagine that people often search for one letter frequently (maybe by accident) so scrambles are likely targeted by their algorithm, as it could be perceived as a way to get higher on erroneous searches.

 

[hkpnkp]

Yep, its the scrambles and algorithms

 

[Berd]

Would this be avoided if you included the scrambles/ algs in the actual video as opposed to the description?

Or even just some slight commentary over afterwards, kinda what cubeologist has been doing.

Yep, its the scrambles and algorithms

How do you know? Please show us the proof that you obviously have.

two of my oldest videos were deleted. They were really long and had a small number of views and no likes.

edit:
they just deleted my "Mirror Blocks ao12: 15.30" video....
if they delete my ao12: 14.17, I'll kill somebody......

 

[Rubiks560]

They just removed my 1.70 AO12.

 

[MTGjumper]

Also had a video removed. Brb, downloading some of my videos off Youtube.
