The level of scrutiny seems to be very selective. Nudist/natusist channels are heavily scrutinized. IIRC, some get dinged even when there's less skin than a bathing suit shows.

Channels that cover the Russian invasion of Ukraine have a litany of things they cannot show. Basically anything that suggest a war is verboten. WTAF? Again, enforcement is very selective. A pro-Ukranian channel located in a third country has extra hoops if a Russian owns it. One channel literally can't say 'missiles'. They have to say 'round metal cylinders that fly through the air'

My understanding is that YT only takes violation appeals seriously if other major pro-ukranian channels complain and their viewers complain en masse.

I don't understand the tech aspects but some creators suspect masses of Russian bots are flagging vids by the thousands. When creators get hold of a person, he seems not to understand what's going on. The fact that a business that exists only online is oblivious to the fact that Russia's involved in a full-scale cyber war with us is mind-boggling.

These bad actors and chaos agents are doing their best to undermine whatever freedoms we have by making misinformation as common as the common cold. Achu? Bless us all.
