YouTube and creators duke it out over… mascots duking it out.On September 1, 2020, Markiplier received his first ever YouTube strike over his four year old “Try Not To Laugh Challenge #2” video; the platform insisted that the clearly fake fight contained violent content, and, after “manual review,” the YouTuber’s video was taken down.Markiplier’s video was called into review after another YouTuber, moist, initiated a twitter campaign bringing awareness to YouTube’s opaque policing efforts when he received a strike for the same video. Moist argued that the video was clearly not truly violent, whereas other videos featuring animal cruelty had been reported numerous times were still allowed to remain up.Was going to handle this privately but it seems there is actually no human review in these things. The video that was taken down and put a strike on my channel is not even a real road rage incident and has no injury, blood or anything. Not even fake blood or injury @TeamYouTube pic.twitter...
