Maybe a year ago YT informed me I'd made a comment that violated policy and my comment was removed as a result.

That was it. There was no reference to which comment or what policy.

I replied that I'd be delighted to modify my comments so as to avoid future problems. I noted that in order to do so I'd need a copy of my comment, the relevant YT policy, and YT's own explanation of how my comment violated the policy.

I concluded with a sentence or two about how I cannot be responsible for avoiding further transgressions until I know what the first transgression was.

As you might guess, I never received a reply.

Regarding your other comment, I've noticed the same thing. If the body in question is female, pretty much anything goes. Perhaps YT enforces what it gets complaints about and female bodies receive fewer complaints? I've also noticed that pretty much any vid that is male-positve in any way has at least a few comments about how 'it' (not always explained or clear from context) is 'wrong'in some way (again, not always explained or clear). So there are people/bots deliberately targetting male-oriented vids.

Thanks for also sharing your perspective and experience too Anton.🙏😎

As you quite neatly describe it is nonsensical most of the time. And just another way to take you down a time sinkhole. I believe the lack of respect and value for their users will be YouTube demise in the end, but it's going to be a long time coming and in the meantime I don't know about you, but I don't have a lot of time left on Planet Earth.🤣

Thank you also for sharing your point of view regarding members of the female species. It does seem to be a free for all. And quite frankly, hypocrisy. I agree with you that maybe it is the fact that some people are purposely trying to have male positive or male centric content removed from you tube, or maybe just gay content, I'm not sure. Either way, if it's bots in control of these decisions, which I suspect is highly likely, we have little hope. I yearn for the days before AI and any of this online stuff. Morrissey said it well..Modern life is rubbish.🤣🤣

At the same time, reality is what it is. So for now, I will try to use the online tools in the best way I can and pray that sub stack is a more loving home for this content. Thank you again for taking the time to really share your point of view too. I appreciate it, as I'm sure Clint does as well.🙏⭐😎
