Quick update on why some of my older videos aren’t available now:
This last week or so, I’ve been getting a number of claims and restrictions on older videos—it started out on videos I’d already privated, so I didn’t think much of it, but then a few live ones got hit with claims or blocks, as well as one age restriction and one outright strike.
It’s coming from different companies/rights holders, so I don’t know if one bot for some random company stumbling across my videos led to others tagging stuff (no one knows how this system works, to be perfectly honest). Usually, you can appeal successfully if you fight them long enough, but we’ll see.
Thankfully, the longer I’ve been making videos, the more I’ve learned about avoiding Content ID and restrictions and so on, so it seems like it was only my older stuff that was at risk. Still frustrating, but to be safe I’ve privated the videos that were getting hit until I can sort this out, since I really don’t want to risk this channel accumulating restrictions or strikes or anything (another area where I’m not entirely sure how the system even works). Sorry for the inconvenience.
