Last night I got an email from YouTube.


We wanted to let you know that our team has reviewed your content and we don't think it's in line with our Community Guidelines. As a result, we've age-restricted the following content:​

It's a short video I made to show the Reed Organ forum members the noisy treadles (pedals) on an old pump organ I was restoring. I can't post the video on a forum now ...


Would anyone have an idea of why is that video now "age-restricted"? What Community Guideline does it violate? Yeesh.

Thanks.
Tom M.
 
Their "team" must be some algorithm triggered by something humanly unfathomable.

...or a bunch of Millennial ageists...
 
grumble grumble

I didn't use the "appeal" link in their email, but I did ask what Community Guideline the video violated.

Algorithms vs. humans ... As Thoreau wrote in 1854 - "Men have become the tools of their tools."
 
I would use the appeal button - likely the Algorithm picked up the music and thought it was a copyright violation. We had this with a church service earlier this year where the organist played a piece log in the public domain which was flagged, likely for some chord progression.
 
JP - your hearing is better than mine! (There is no music in the video.)

It's not like you're engaging in wrong-speak or wrong-think that they disagree with and thus don't allow. Obviously their algorithm is screwed up. You can >> Appeal
 
Thanks. I do plan to appeal, but first want to know what Guideline I didn't follow. I'd think appealing (and a likely reversal) wouldn't help me (and others) know how the video broke a rule.
 
I am willing to bet you'll never know how it broke a rule. I'm sure that it was simply an instance of the algorithm picking up on something it shouldn't have.
 
Posted a video on you tube a few months ago on a car repair item Not LBC related.

When I came to the part of the you tube disclaimer page it seemed you almost need a lawyer to decide is it child appropriate? Would children watch it? and it seems to go on and on.
I suppose they are trying t cover themselves every way they can.

Ok (since I couldn't watch it because - um never mind) then clearly playing with your organ on video might be problematic just sayin' :rolleyes:
