YouTube was banning links to filmmusic – now reversed

54 pointsby gzaloalmost 2 years ago
Just got this email a few mins ago:<p>&gt; We wanted to let you know our team reviewed your content, and we think it violates our spam, deceptive practices and scams policy. We know you may not have realized this was a violation of our policies, so we&#x27;re not applying a strike to your channel. However, we have removed the following content from YouTube: &gt; URL: ht tps:&#x2F;&#x2F;filmmusic. io&#x2F;standard-license<p>Looks like some false positive, Youtube is really banning links to a valid and safe URL. The &quot;appeal&quot; link doesn&#x27;t seem to work either. Worst part is that this probably affects thousands of videos using royalty free music, and they are now breaking the license due to deleting the attribution link :(<p>Any ideas on how to contact YT to fix that?<p>Edit: they have fixed it!

Looks like YT has reversed their action. The URL is back in the video description, and the videos involved have monetization back on again.<p>Most likely, their human reviewers made yet another mistake. This has been the 3rd time for my channel. 1st one, they reversed on their own. 2nd one, I appealed and they retracted. And this 3rd one, they reversed on their own again.<p>They should really fire their human reviewers. These are the same ones who keep demonetizing rule-abiding channels and rejecting applications for channels that actually make good content.

I got the same email this morning. By the time I looked, the links were (apparently) back and the appeal link doesn&#x27;t work for me, either. I was very confused until I found your post.
