DESCRIPTION
Some people think that having a YouTube marketing strategy is essential. But unfortunately, they miss one absolutely critical point- YouTube's totally out-of-control flagging & community guideline enforcement policy. Both personal experience and anecdotal evidence has shown that video producers posting to YT are likely to find themselves persistently and aggressively flagged (resulting in guideline ‘strikes’) for completely false or spurious reasons, no matter how uncontroversial their content. There is an 'appeal this strike' button, but it usually results in simple confirmation of the strike within minutes. The producer will then find him/herself labelled & defamed as a pornographer or producer of unsuitable content (such as graphic violence or 'hate speech') in YouTube/Google permanent records. There is no guarantee this information won't be shared with law enforcement authorities at some point in the future, and only a lengthy legal challenge can alter this status. So overall, my advice is to steer well clear of YT- it’s not worth the risk.
