Title: Your YouTube video has been age-restricted
Post by: Bentley on October 22, 2020, 10:16:24 AM
I have been trying to figure out why this was labeled as age restricted.  I do not have enough subscribers nor enough page views in the X amount of time youtube deems necessary to monetize like when I was doing it for Pelletheads.  It has like 7 views, so it really does not matter.  I can't even remember why I made it.  This is simply a curiosity post to see if someone might share a comment that would make me say...ahh. OK, I see why they do not want a kid to see this.

I have the option to "appeal", which I sort of did.  I asked they what specifically was wrong with the video so I knew what rule I had broken, not just some ambiguous"...we dont think this is a good video for kids?"  I have been out of the loop for 14+ years, is there some pink stuff going around like Heisenberg's blue stuff that I am not aware of?

Could “cure#1” be some sort of trigger?
I have no clue but with what is going on maybe? that somehow it means other than what you intended.

I didn't see anything inappropriate at all.  I bet if one person flagged it as inappropriate then that message pops up.  But that is just a guess.

Maybe because you don't explain what Cure #1  is ?

Youtube's AI flagged it because of cure in the title.  They are very sensitive these days due to the coronavirus.

That makes sense to me.  That way they aren't liable for any crazy cure for the virus.

When we first started posting church videos on YouTube they were age restricted. I was told that anything that wasn't made for a children's audience was considered an age restriction.

These all make sense.  I will be more curious if they respond to my "appeal".

Like other I do not see anything inappropriate however the title could be misleading in that some might think it is a medical cure or even worse a drug mixture.

I changed the title and added a description.  Looks like they removed the age restrictions, so I will give them that!
