Early Access - This is Insane
Added 2022-06-30 09:30:01 +0000 UTCMy debunking video warning about the dangers of fractal wood burning was removed by YouTube for:
Violating YouTube's Community Guidelines by encouraging dangerous or illegal activities that risk serious physical harm or death.
I have filled out the form to appeal that strike. It is still in review.
UPDATE: Thankfully a couple of very helpful google employees saw the video and escalated the review. The video has now been reinstated after being off for 4 days. Unfortunately all the original comments are missing. For those asking how you can help: Watching it again, commenting and sharing will hopefully help get it moving.

Hi Ann! I just wanted to let you know that I think you actually ended up making quite the positive change on YouTube - If I search “fractal wood burning” your video is the second result that shows up, followed by tons of other videos saying that it’s not safe / why it’s not safe! There was a singular “how to” video and it was called “how to make a safe fractal wood burner”. But I thought it was pretty cool that you obviously caused YouTube to take a closer look!
