I received an email today from youtube. Yesterday I made a short (not associated directly with a video, as I do not like how shorts get presented from the videos, unless I am doing something wrong), and the video had already 167 views. Already cause my videos unfortunately have 40, or 50 views the most, and my first short 2 days ago have already 900 views. So, I received their email saying "Your short video was removed because of some change on the video definitions". They kept the visualizations etc, but they removed the video. I uploaded it again today and have 4 views :/... Why does this happen?, did some of the footage I used got changed and this happened in my video? I don't get it, that means that if for any reason someone on the other side of the world wants to change something on their video and I have 10 seconds of his video on mine my video gets deleted? .. Help me understand this term from youtube, please. Thanks in advance.
YouTube's content moderation algorithms have become increasingly sensitive to copyrighted material and violations of their community guidelines. It's possible that your short video contained some elements, even if just a few seconds, that triggered their automated system to flag it for removal. This could include copyrighted music, images, or any content that might infringe upon someone else's rights.
When YouTube removes a video due to changes in video definitions, they typically preserve the view count and other statistics associated with the video. However, re-uploading the same content may not yield the same results in terms of views, as the initial boost in views might have been driven by external factors like sharing on social media or appearing in YouTube's recommendations. Also, when you re-upload content, it doesn't carry the same history as the original video, which can affect its performance.
To avoid such issues in the future, it's essential to review YouTube's content policies, especially regarding copyrighted material. You can also use YouTube's copyright tools to check if any elements in your video might cause problems. Additionally, if you believe your video was mistakenly removed, you can appeal the decision through YouTube's content removal appeal process, which might help in some cases. Remember, YouTube's algorithms are complex and not always perfect, so staying informed about their policies and guidelines is crucial for a smoother experience on the platform.
