Youtube appeals process is a joke

4 years ago

Youtube confirmed deletion of my video on use of caffeine on the basis of a community guideline on hard drug use, sale to minors and underage consumption of alcohol.

This was clearly deleted because they didn't like how the video looked or for other targeted reasons.

Although I respect that YouTube is its own company and they can decide what content they want to host and what content they don't want to. It is clear to me that the policy they indicated is not infact applicable to my caffeine use video.

I fail to see how consuming the same amount of caffeine as is in a cup of coffee is somehow a dangerous or harmful action.

Caffeine is beneficial to health. This is equivalent to banning videos where people consume sugar because some idiot is going to eat 20 apple pies.

Shame on youtube for deleting a video and giving a warning for content that clearly falls well outside of youtubes community guidelines.

What makes this worse is that they give no guidance at all on why this video violated the community guidelines.
