@JuliaDavisNews @YouTube It’s hard to believe any corporation would put Putin first against the world. I don’t use YouTube because it accepts a lot of stupid stuff, but coming against your work is depraved!

@YouTube I only go outside when you show ads at the worst possible place in a video…which is most of the time.

@hannahkauthor @JuliaDavisNews @YouTube that won't work. the videos are copyright violations but their dissemination is far more important than copyright law, so hopefully other ways of spreading can be used.

@LouisIngenthron @JuliaDavisNews @YouTube The problem is that the majority of YouTube employees are located in Moscow. They have huge main office over there.

@YouTube What if you shut your trap and work on your chicken-bones-throwing decision making algo that you call community "guideline"?

@JuliaDavisNews @YouTube Contact @YouTube support. There was some bug or issue lately and a lot of YouTubers got temporarily demonetized. Strangely - a lot of those who publish updates about the war. Or: put these videos on your own server, start an email list and post links on social media.

@JuliaDavisNews @spartyflyboy @YouTube It's probably because they think simply translating and subtitling a third-party video does not have enough originality, which violates their community guidelines. It happened to me before. Maybe make some brief comments to the camera after the video. It might help.

@Pinja_L @JuliaDavisNews @YouTube this seems very likely to me. to be fair, not easy to see how it could be made to work better without also opening it up to 'abuse'. still, Youtube policy doing more harm than good in this case.

@YouTube How about you fix your broken copyright strike system. It’s very flawed and you know it. Make people prove they own the content they are supposedly copyright claiming.

@JuliaDavisNews @YouTube I was considering subscribing to youtube to get rid of constant confirmed scammer ads, but this is on a whole different level. Well, I guess this problem makes the decision easy.

@YouTube Not always big on the whole give ideas to improve someone else's app. But maybe rework the algorithm to possibly try and fluctuate smaller youtube channels to get recommended more frequently to users. Just a thought to help support more up and coming youtubers.

@LouisIngenthron @JuliaDavisNews @YouTube The screenshots say "we've reviewed your content carefully and decided blah", which suggests someone already manually got this wrong. YouTube are notorious for having terrible automated and manual moderation procedures, and they're very open to abuse.
