Urgh. The most viewed video on my channel, 8 IMPORTANT Composition Tips for Better Photos (with over 3M views) has been taken down for 'violating guidelines'. A Sally Mann image I used (not even a controversial one, kids wearing clothes) apparently "endangers the emotional and physical well-being of minors". I have no idea why. I spent the afternoon talking to different people at YouTube. They just kept quoting their policy at me. I told them I understood their policy on not sexualising or showing nude children and was fully on-board with it. But what I didn't understand was how the image I showed violated the guidelines.
I've re-uploaded the video without the Sally Mann shot, + some new content and re-edits. Please feel free to watch and comment under it so I can try to regain some of the traction I had previously.
New video coming very soon, anyway. A few more days of editing, then it'll be uploaded.
