    UPDATE: (As posted on IG shorts) The video was fixed. I got in contact with TeamCZcams on twitter and they helped me. I appreciate the help they gave me. Weird how the actual agents on the CZcams side were not able to do something TeamCZcams was able to do in less than 24 hours. In anycase I'm Happy

      I appreciate that the matter was resolved albeit with much tribulation. Memes about people joking that Finland "does not exist" notwithstanding, every other CZcamsr, from Shadiversity (whose content are appreciated even if abrasive for the weaker hearts) to even Minecraft people, it's mind boggling how Alphabet (which is where Google's management moved to when they wanted to obfuscate their activities amidst the Facebook-social media fiasco in 2018) had become so high up the pedestal of power and influence that they refused to acknowledge that there could be more room for improvement for their algorithm-driven content enforcement.
      I'm certain that the engineer that got fired-for telling the world that whatever AI development that Google does recently, is gaining sentience-has more to share that implicate that a lot more disturbing developments have gone up within the Googleplex. This issue of CZcams's seemingly Ferrari-like series of errors could be a preclude to more horrible things to come.

    I think it's all about reducing harm to minors. I was told about the existence of Finland when I was 16, and could hardly handle it. The trauma of realizing that there existed a Nordic country so friendly and civilized, with healthcare and freedoms Americans can only dream of, nearly broke me. I can totally understand wanting to protect our children from this! You should be *at least* 21 before the secret of Nordic countries is revealed. You start with Canada at 12, and work your way up to Australia by 32.

    This is something that I see quite a lot in the corporate world. The compliance departments in many companies are now telling employees not to reveal the reasons for decisions that affect customers. I think they have the attitude of "If we tell them the reason, they will have grounds to sue us, or at least to argue with the decision that we won't budge on, and also they might try to come up with more clever ways to break our rules." The problem is that most people who get caught in these situations aren't trying to do anything wrong, or haven't done anything wrong, and have no recourse and no way to fix the problem, if there even was one in the first place.

It makes me happy that people of any age could learn about our country, I've met people who had no idea a country called Finland even exists! It wasn't offensive at all to me, and if the restriction is about the past wars with Russia then it's just ridiculous, talking about a countrys past is a part of GN videos. I hope it gets resolved soon. Sending you lots of virtual salmiakki ice cream! 🇫🇮💜

    Mentioning wars with Russia is considered "sensitive" by CZcams. That's my guess. YT is not big on placing historical fact above profit.
    You have to remember that YOU are not YT's customer, you are their PRODUCT. They make money by selling you and your content to advertisers. They don't care about you or the effort you put into your content, they care about advertising revenue - including that which comes from Russian investors and those companies that advertise products sold in Russia. Sensitive!

      Except CZcams has stopped advertising in Russia since recent events. They get nothing out of appealing to advertisers targeting Russia, because they no longer offer that service.

      So these folks think that it is appropriate to punish someone because he mentioned some historical war with Russia for a few seconds, not relating to Ukraine in the slightest?

    I have a hypothesis how and why you got restricted: Russian trolls. You are telling a history of the relationship between Finland and Russia that is not Russian propaganda compatible. By reporting your video (a lot) the algorithm will probably overrule any human decision. I hope I am wrong but that is for me a very probable hypothesis. Sorry. I love your channel and I hope this video helps to solve it.

    From other CZcamsrs, I’ve seen that their algorithm falsely marks videos at times. When you’re finally able to get ahold of someone who won’t give automated responses, they’ll fix it. An idea is to look up other vids where people said they went through the same and see how they got it resolved.

    I recommend also getting your videos on nebula, your type of videos would fit there perfectly, and it might be another source of revenue. I also recommend uploading to other video sites like rumble, odysee etc, at the very least just in case youtube "accidentally" removes or privates a video of yours. This way you can have a back-up of all your content. The rules at youtube are constantly shifting and new rules will be retroactively and inconsistently applied so long as youtube management continues to value big corporate media over the backbone of their site, the creators.

  • @MxSheep

The only content I heard/saw that ‘might’ fall under age appropriateness… but also would be super dumb to restrict because of this content…would be the mention of ‘sometimes naked’ when jumping in the mud and a couple of the shots in the sauna. But… really?? Anyways… YT is being dumb and we all love your videos!

    This happens all the time, some part part of you tube's AI algorithm mistakenly flags a part of a video as inappropriate for 18 or below with no human having a look at the video to determine if it accurate. After the you-tuber in question makes a complaint some low ranked youtube employe has a look at the video but can't find what the AI has a problem with. but instead of sending it up the chain to someone that can deal with the situation they deny the request in hopes that the you-tuber will simply give up. if the community makes enough noise someone with authority at youtube will step in and fix it
