Seems completely understandable that YouTube removed it. For people who didn't watch it, the guy made a prank title "drinking hydroxic acid" (which is water) but I can completely understand why youtube doesn't want anything with "drinking acid" in a video title that even vaguely resembles actual acids.<p>Plenty of youtube viewers are literal 12 year old children who don't even bother to read the description. "nobody will do anything stupid" doesn't really seem plausible to me when we have adults killing themselves with fish tank cleaner because they confuse it for anti-viral meds
Another history channel I follow had their videos mass de-monetized and age restricted. It was purely educational nothing about the channel is remotely controversial.<p>I am convinced YT is deliberately doing this to push out small content creators and replace them with corporate content creators that are fleeing the sinking ship that is cable TV.
I'm just imagining the YouTube censors who have to watch a thousand videos a day (or whatever). They see "drinking acid", click ban, and hit next. It's a cute joke but understandable why it gets banned.
Who are all these YT defenders in the comments? "Well, it says ACID, and as every ignorant person knows, ACID means BAD, and knowing the difference between substances is stupid!" You sound like a bot trying to make common sense from adversarial policies. ThisCommonSenseIsFake.com.
He's so done he posted a video on Youtube about it.<p>Like every other post here with "YouTube" in the title, it's just clickbait and drama.
People insist youtube be a safe place to leave their kids unsupervised. Then they complain when YouTube acts like a shitty kindergarten. It's that simple really.
