Laowhy86 - Bad News
Added 2023-05-25 14:58:45 +0000 UTCHey guys, YouTube age restricted my Laowhy86 video about BRICS while I was sleeping.
By doing this, they effectively killed the video off in the algorithm. 12 hours out of the algorithm completely destroys the performance of a video.
The video - BRICS - Why China's New Alliance Will Fail - https://youtu.be/dpMTt93d0p4
When I woke up a few hours ago, I appealed it, and they immediately removed the restriction, which means it's too late. This video took 20+ hours to make, and now not only will it not earn any money, but most importantly, the bad guys won.
I suspect it was mass flagged on purpose by China/Russia bot accounts, and YouTube played it safe and restricted the video.
Expect this to be a new front of information warfare, as I suspect this will become a long standing issue.
Thank you for your support. It's been financially uncertain with social media regarding China these days. They've definitely stepped up their efforts.

This is why, one cannot rely on YouTube anymore for groundbreaking journalism, clearly... Or at least, not without Patreon support.

2023-05-26 23:37:29 +0000 UTCSorry to hear that. It is probably age restricted because it made the little pink babies cry.

2023-05-26 10:19:23 +0000 UTCInsane. Makes no sense
2023-05-26 00:35:28 +0000 UTCWhat!? How?! There's nothing about that video that should age restrict it. Also great video btw

2023-05-25 22:13:57 +0000 UTCSorry man. Thank you for keeping on - keeping on... I say an "our father", and turn it over. Still hard. Your work opposing tyranny and evil is definitely divine. Thank you again Matthew. Have a wonderful day, and hug those girlies.

2023-05-25 16:27:46 +0000 UTCi think it got unrestricted now? opened up in a logged-out private window and it seems to work now?

2023-05-25 15:44:45 +0000 UTCEven more of a reason why content creators are relying on support from Patreon and others, since you’re not at the whim of bullshit algorithms. Keep up the good work.

2023-05-25 15:39:09 +0000 UTC👈 If only we knew someone with a good bot army 😉
2023-05-25 15:36:50 +0000 UTCDang that sucks. I shared it with my community, so I hope that helps. If you post a short on it, I'll share it on my Tiktok account to really piss off the CCP.
2023-05-25 15:33:57 +0000 UTCWell they are the same type of employees that Twitter had. What do you expect.

2023-05-25 15:25:52 +0000 UTC"A bad attempt at humour", so yes, sarcasm. I was just trying to illustrate, in a backwards kind of way, how easy it is for the mob to controll YT.
John Cheresna
2023-05-25 15:25:10 +0000 UTCThis is targeted suppression of this type of content. YT knows why this is happening, they can look at logs... and they won't do anything about it. It would take several high profile YT channels to start a class action suit to get to the bottom of this. Until that happens.. the bots, internal CCP sympathizers..whatever it is, will continue.

2023-05-25 15:11:49 +0000 UTCWatched this video earlier at work, literally nothing stuck out as something that would require an age restriction, good video btw

2023-05-25 15:03:40 +0000 UTCI assume you are being sarcastic. If not, shame .
Sam Johnson
2023-05-25 15:02:30 +0000 UTCIt was your fault for including videos of people having sex with animals. A bad attempt at humour. "A bad attempt at humour", so yes, sarcasm, for those that did not get it the 1st time.
