Movie Vids Being Taken Down

**Meres** · 02-11-2010, 06:02 AM

My vids have been taken down within 12is hours for the past week. Seems like youtube is cracking down on these.

I think they are basing it on keywords in the title / description / tags. Like watch___, ___ full movie, etc.

Has anyone found what sort of keywords are not being targetted? I will experiment and update the thread.

yeah, and tv series too. I just got a fckload of accounts suspended out of thin air. With only 1 vid per account and 1 IP per 3 accounts. WTF youtube???? I'll will f'kin spam you to death!

I don't think it's massive delete from YT.

It is a strategy used by YTubers.
Flagging the competition then reuploading or just flagging.

**dnreg** · 02-11-2010, 03:30 PM

Yep, pretty sure you guys are getting flagged by your competition. It's all part of the game.

**raidel21** · 02-11-2010, 03:34 PM

Yeah man, ebooks have been written on this.
You don't think competition is cruel?

**SpazzyMcSpazz** · 02-11-2010, 04:55 PM

I tried uploading some with no links whatsoever, it still got deleted, I doubt the competition just suddenly started flagging ALL my crap. And how the fck is it possible to get the account suspended with just 1 (ONE) video??? hundreds of them in a day or two!

**raidel21** · 02-11-2010, 04:59 PM

It's not about links...

It's about the fact that I search NEW uploaded videos and I like yours, flag
your video, upload it then watermark it , then it's mine.
Get it.

but how could you possibly flag the accounts with the video uploaded a month ago????
looks like they just got some fcking DMCA today. Like this crap:

right now I'm experimenting with putting the videos on private after a while. anyone know how long it usually takes them to delete it? well I guess not, since this must be an exceptional event... anyways

New accounts get deleted along with video.
Old accounts get 1 strike warning, 2 strike suspended 2 weeks, 3 strikes your out.

thanks! any idea how old they must be?
oh wait, I can find that out myself, I'll let you know if I come up with anything conclusive
Edit 2: yeah, looks like all the accounts newer than 1 month are almost completely gone. Thanks DMCA! Well at least now I know.

**Meres** · 02-11-2010, 05:35 PM

You guys dont think youtube has been filtering keywords?

I know people flag videos but if that is the case - the flagging has gone through the roof the past week or so.

oh, don't give up

anyway, he was wrong, it was just the DMCA purge, I'm now sure of it. Besides, they can't steal it if you slap a huge watermark of your website all over the place.

have you guys tried marketing on hulu?

**gb5000** · 02-11-2010, 07:07 PM

EDITED: Sorry bout that, I got hulu mixed up with LaLa, I retract my statement! Thanks dnreg. I was thinking LaLa, don't know how I got it mixed up. Honest mistake, Sorry guys!

**SpazzyMcSpazz** · 02-11-2010, 09:41 PM

^ I kinda really doubt he/she was serious.

Yes, totally incorrect, slap that man. Hulu is owned by NBC, News Corp and Disney, and basically that means Comcast owns them too, since Comcast now owns NBC.

Got chu. I'll pass on tha slapping. Point I was making was that alot of those big media companys are going after the ISP's now and search engines instead of individuals. (for instance google is now shuting down music blogs without warning, you can look that up if you want!) So Just be prepared to switch up ya strategies thats all.

**angrish10** · 02-16-2010, 08:47 AM

Its a CRAB Fight going on YT. Everyone is pulling each others leg by flagging Videos.
Result: Stay All in Ditch.
What i do: Spare 10 different YT accounts: Post same video with diffrent time lines and one keyword per video. Its been working quite good past week now.

wonder ppl mgt have made bots to flag videos now LOL
