So my youtube video has 2 million+ views and is a year old and they pull this shit... - GoFuckYourself.com

wtfent · 08-25-2008, 02:17 PM

One of my youtube videos has 2 million + views and has been on there for over 10 months. It gets about 20,000 views per day right now and that makes me a good $600+ per month from their ad sharing program (easy easy money) well today all of a sudden the video was flagged and can't be viewed by minors which means my ads wont display anymore. $6,000+ per year down the drain and now I'm also afraid of this happening to the rest of my videos. How can a video go that long and then get flagged out of the blue like that?

what was on the vid?

That's the problem people flag shit just because they see you getting a lot of views.

pornguy · 08-25-2008, 02:25 PM

Seen that happen many times.

WiredGuy · 08-25-2008, 02:25 PM

Why not resubmit the video with identical keywords and such?

Just a random street fight. I mean damn I sell these same clips and stuff to Spike and Tru TV for the world to see and youtube censors it? WTF???

I know you can't have any fights of people getting hurt, jumped or at school etc.... but my videos I upload are very tame for this reason but still they are censoring them.

Seems like if you even say a naughty word there is a chance they will censor your video.

Well I got lucky on the vid, it used to only get like 1,000 views a day but once it got to the million mark I guess it made everyone click on it a lot more and it just went out of control from there. I could do that but I'm not sure it would take off the same again.

When you get that many views don't delete any comments.
The A-hole can come back to rate your video low and flag it.

How do you sign up for ad sharing?

Yeah, a million views attracts another million for sure.
Not easy to just get that spot back.

Manowar · 08-25-2008, 02:34 PM

is there any way you can hit up google and ask them to de-flag it?

Thats what I was wondering. Anybody that sees my videos can tell they are not offensive at all and I am clearly being targeted by certain people. I wonder how many flags you need to get to have this happen in the first place.

mattz · 08-25-2008, 03:31 PM

StarkReality · 08-25-2008, 03:35 PM

Happened to me several times, not with that many views, but as soon as a video attracts alot of attention, there are always some assholes flagging it...and if it's controversial in any way, it gets pulled. This rule doesn't apply to fluffy funny animals, cute babies and any self proclaimed crusaders for a good cause.

vidvicious · 08-25-2008, 03:37 PM

same thing happened to me .. fo r 8 month ol video .. I kept sending them emails about it . but I keep getting back the same autimated responce email .. fuckers

wtfent · 08-25-2008, 03:39 PM

Interesting. I have another video that has been flagged since day one and has about 400,000 views and I just noticed they de-flagged that video. I wonder how this works. I mean its in their best interest to keep my ads up cause thats more money for them.

Maybe once somebody reviews my account they will see that the video is not bad at all and de-flag this one as well. I mean damn an extra $6,000 for google is an extra $6,000.

RayBonga · 08-25-2008, 03:44 PM

They deleted my account with more than 3 million views and close to 200 videos

cykoe6 · 08-25-2008, 03:49 PM

Yea I know the feeling. I just had my account and my all my vids deleted. I had a few vids with 500k plus page views. Was bringing in about $500 a month.

The people making the racist comments are more likely to seek revenge.
They have a "vested" belief in their comments.

I think I hit the nail on the head about why your video got smacked.

It sucks, but when the website gives power to the surfer you will get this kind
of situation.

I hate ebay for the exact thing that should make it great.
The feedback is great info when buying but buyers are also holding the sellers hostage
sometimes by threatening to leave negative feedback if they don't get all the "extras"
that they want. I also bought some crap on ebay and was afraid to leave negative feedback because the seller didn't leave my feedback yet.

Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life · 08-25-2008, 05:31 PM

It could easily be competition. It's not that hard to get somebody's video axed on youtube. There's botscripts for every function. I haven't seen a flagging bot yet, but I wouldn't doubt it if people got them tucker away too. All it takes is a few flags from a bunch of generated accounts and you can kiss your shit goodbye.

GregE · 08-25-2008, 06:43 PM

Myspace is even worse.

I had some leftover material from a recent edit so, just for the hell of it, I threw together a quick pseudo artsy clip and uploaded it.

In less than five (5) minutes it was gone

I'll be damned if I can figure what could possibly be objectionable about this silly little clip.

It's not a rick roll, I promise

I have 40+ videos and get a total of about 50K views per day. All my videos except for 9 of them display ads and I make 50% of all the revenue. Nice easy side stream of cash.

were your videos original to youtube? (ie. you were the first one to upload them off of some other media? or were they just a compilation of stuff you found out there on the net?)
