Hoisted by my own petard

I think my safety video may have triggered more aggressive filtering of the dangerous wood burning videos.  I've just received a warning for my FIRST video on the subject that showed the safety required and how a lower current transformer could be used instead, and it's been taken down.

I'm not too bothered by it being taken down, but those warnings are a bit worrying when you get them.

The only good thing about "The Mirror" is that its audience of old people who eagerly gobble up malicious headlines is dying off. The stacks of newspapers get smaller by the year.

Health and safety rules were put there to protect idiots from themselves but instead hinder people with common sense and the idiots ignore the rules anyway. πŸ‘€

There's a great deal more on YouTube that's, more offensive, more dangerous and not in the slightest informative, but they choose to act against someone who is not publicising a dangerous activity, but actually warning against it. Is this not just typical of an automated "Artificial Intelligence", I use the term "intelligent" very very loosely here and not actually a human intervening to stop what they think is a dangerous video?

You have got to laugh. Youtube need to take more notice of the public information video. https://www-mirror-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/man-who-gave-microwave-artificial-26823597.amp?amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQIKAGwASCAAgM%3D#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=16518379590210&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mirror.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fweird-news%2Fman-who-gave-microwave-artificial-26823597

Yet the link you made reference to is still out there?

If YT starts to take down vids showing how to do wood burning, i don't think they'll bother to do safety assessments of every procedure shown to see which to remove and which to keep. They will just take them all down. No biggie as long as they keep the last one :)

Well then some good has come of it! But I'm guessing its a repetitional damage issue for You Tube - who will be seen the enabler (yet again) of dangerous content, Also there is the possibility that they could be facing a law suit. Which is why they finally done something to address this. I know its terrible that your hard work has been affected but think of the lives you may have just saved!

Ugh, typical YouTube BS :/

Not sure, but if you google High voltage wood fracking now you get dozens of news articles about people dying in addition to 4 very low view count videos (38k, 1.8k, 800 views, ...) and a single pinterest link. Or at least that's what I get.

I guess no good deed goes unpunished? Suck fest, big time! "The meek shall inherit the earth" but the ironic part is most believe this let's them off the hook and they are more right then professional trades people. Unfortunate, but we still enjoy your content! Sorry for the biblical reference, just play amongst their rules is all.
