Oh look, a pretty great youtube channel is victim of YouTube's broken systems. Ain't that perfect? A prime example why YouTube isn't a reliable job in my eyes, because of people falsely flagging videos out of mindless hate, and YouTube not taking the time to check the reports.

(Move this to serious discussion if necessary, I feel like it wouldn't fit there)

I hate youtube as much as the next guy and a lot more than most people but the reason they do this is probably so they can claim that they're a neutral platform without dishing out a load of money to hire people to evaluate every video individually- that's a hell of a lot of utter garbage. If anyone can flag something and have it removed, it ensures nobody can get offended and try to sue or something like that, right? Dumb, but youtube is a service that cares about making money, and frankly, deleting the work of innocent and quality users is the easiest way to ensure that they keep making a profit from the largest possible audience, even if it means the alienation of a small portion of the entire userbase.

That being said it always surprises me how many people attempt to rely on an unstable business plan to support their entire ♥♥♥♥ livelihood. Jesus man, it's not like this is some surprise freak occurence on youtube, so I find it a little hard to empathize with people who are "so ♥♥♥♥" when the inevitable happens.

I just want to point out that it's usually interns handling reports for big conglomerates. This happened recently with ♥♥♥♥ being removed due to Rooster Teeth copyright, interestingly enough videos pertaining to Undertale. RT hasn't done Undertale.
