The Colony

Weird. I can't think of a single algorithmically objectionable word or phrase today!

Do you ever get to ask Why? Such arbitrary punishment, without explanation, is very odd

Do you monitor/approve site comments? I've noticed there are bitly links (not for the first time) with red-flag constructions that may also be red-flags to YT admin.

That's a weird, annoying mystery

As far as I can see, it’s because the first submission dealt with the topic of suicide, which we then amplified afterwards in discussion. Weirdly, they lump “suicide” and “paedophilia” together in the same category, which is bizarre to say the least. You can briefly refer to the topic, e.g. “in the next show, we’ll be discussing suicide” – that’s fine.

But if the next show really does cover the topic substantially, then it’s demonetization & obscurity for that show. It’s censorship with a soft glove, really. This is AI at work. You can appeal to a human, but there's no point, it clearly does break their rules.
