Should I say "surreal", or should I say "Kafkaesque"? This is the third strike in the second banning of my youtube channel.

Welcome! Your Case ID is 4-1747000039900. Refer to this if you need to contact us again.

Hi my name is Ashyy, how are you doing today? [2:04 PM]

Hello, Ashyy.

This is linked to but separate from an earlier case,

8-7390000039423

Hi there.

^ I assume that number allows you to compare the record of what is happening with that case.

I received a very suspicious email from youtube today

referring to that case as if it were already over

but in fact the status of the case is still open and ongoing.

Thanks for bringing this up.

I have continued to receive new notifications for videos that have been (even more recently) banned for "hate speech".

In fact, these videos do not contain hate speech.

The message I received from youtube today was under the title:

Re: Requested conversation copy

I understand that your concern is about the email that you received.

This is, already, suspicious.

The sender is:

yt-partner-support@google.com

I will now quote the email in full for you.

—————

Hi there,

I hope all is well.

This is Ark, the manager you were previously in contact with in relation to your concern regarding your video.

I've raised your concerns to our internal teams and have received a response, let me share the details:

We have reviewed the videos and determined that it is in violation of our Community Guidelines.

While we try to allow as much content as possible, hate speech is not allowed on YouTube. We remove content promoting violence or hatred against individuals or groups based on protected group status as outlined here.

Content that incites hatred against individuals or groups based on their protected group status isn’t allowed on YouTube. This may include dehumanization, using slurs and stereotypes, inferiority claims, and/or conspiracy theories. We review educational, documentary, artistic, and scientific content on a case-by-case basis. Limited exceptions are made for content with sufficient and appropriate context.

Upon review, we have removed the videos per our Hate Speech policies as it contains content that praises or glorifies violence against individuals or groups based on the attributes noted above.

We hope you understand that our intent is to keep the community safe. If you need more help, check out the Community Guidelines resources.

That being said, I apologize if I don't have better news for you. I've explained and relayed all the applicable context here along with all the details you've provided during our interaction and sadly, our teams have upheld their decision.

That being said, the enforcement action on your channel are only warnings for the videos and not necessarily strikes. The channel is currently not scheduled for removal. However, if the channel does receive 3 strikes, then the removal will take place.

If you have any additional concerns, please feel free to reach out.

Best,

Ark

—————

Thanks for the detailed information.

And here is my (very brief) reply:

—————

You do not provide me with a quotation (or a time-stamp) from the video that contains hate speech.

You do not provide a single example of this video containing hate speech.

You explain, "Content that incites hatred against individuals or groups based on their protected group status isn’t allowed on YouTube. This may include dehumanization, using slurs and stereotypes, inferiority claims, and/or conspiracy theories."

There is not a single example of hate speech (by this definition) in any of the videos we are discussing: the specific video that was banned is a discussion of the decline in popularity of veganism (and I am a vegan myself, I am regretting the decline in popularity) with statistical charts on-screen at the time stamp (marked as "hate speech" to be banned).

I think it is very significant that you refuse to provide an example (i.e., a quotation) of my words being hate speech.

I have presented evidence that these videos ARE NOT hate speech, that they SHOULD NOT be banned, and that there should be NO STRIKE against my channel. Your replies are evasive and vague.

E.M.

—————

Let me check the case ID.

To help you better with this concern, I'll go ahead and check this matter further on my end. Is it okay if I place this chat on hold for 3-5 minutes while I look into this?

This is new:

https://youtu.be/ZlHEEbYyzaQ

^ This video, also, has been (insincerely) deleted for "hate speech".

Note that the time-stamp for the supposed offense says:

———

You can see an example around 00:00:07, although there could be other instances.

———

^ It is totally absurd to suggest that there is hate speech in the first few seconds of that video.

^ The earlier examples, as I've mentioned, were also totally surreal.

These videos do not contain hate speech.

I need to escalate the appeal to a higher level of management before my youtube channel is deleted (again).

Thank you for waiting! Just checking if we are still connected?

I am still connected. I am happy to wait.

Thanks for confirming.

I know that you do not have time to investigate this in detail, but this is a very short video (less than 50 seconds long) showing just how absurd these allegations of "hate speech" are against my youtube channel:

https://youtube.com/shorts/ZMBWEewOamE

It is not possible that youtube's employees are sincerely enforcing youtube's own rules.

After reviewing here in my end, your main issue is about your video that was removed by terms and policies.

No: I need the complaint escalated to a higher level of management because there is evidence of youtube employees acting in bad faith.

You have already spoken with one of our managers and received the email that he sent as a record of the resolution that he provided.

The new example: what is actually said in the first seven seconds?

(The video is a satirical song, BTW: this is comedy / parody.)

In the first few seconds (before the singing begins) the youtuber quoted (who is not me, BTW!) regrets that he does not want to date women any more, he wants to avoid women until he can get married.

He says that he has figured out what he wants in a wife, and he is now going to focus on getting married (not casual sex).

How could this be "hate speech" by youtube's definition?

All of the examples are equally absurd / surreal.

I apologize, but there is no option to escalate this concern to a higher department. The internal team that reviews your channel and videos to ensure compliance with YouTube's guidelines and policies does not communicate directly with creators.

No, this is a new complaint, concerning a new video.

I sent you the URL to the new video that has been banned, circa 20 hours ago.

Just to inform you, our internal team didn't provide any timestamp on the videos and the specific reason why it was removed.

This is a new dispute, requiring a new resolution.

You are given the option to appeal if your believe that the video removal was a mistake.

This concerns the banning of a new video (that happened more recently than the prior case and case-number).

Thank you for your reply: I need to escalate this to a higher level of management.

I understand, my apologies but there is no option to escalate this to a higher department.

Why?

You may check this Help center so that you will be guided on the appeal: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/185111?hl=en&sjid=7056973078303288038-NC

Please remain on the line:

The internal team that reviews your channel and videos to ensure compliance with YouTube's guidelines and policies does not communicate directly with creators.

I will click now to appeal.

Alright.

Are you telling me that after I click "appeal" it will then be possible to escalate to a higher level of management?

If you click appeal it means that you believe that the removal of the video was a mistake

I have now clicked the mouse-button to appeal. [2:22 PM]

And our internal team will review the video again.

This conversation we have had now: does it have its own tracking number?

Does this have a "case" number?

Yes, there is. This is the case ID of this conversation: 4-1747000039900

Okay: so youtube will send me the record of this conversation, and after the appeal has been processed (for the most recent two videos) then it will be possible for me to continue this conversation…

…and request that the appeal be escalated to a higher level of management? Correct?

As previously stated, clicking "appeal" indicates that you believe the removal of the video was an error. Our internal team will then conduct another review of the video. Following the review, they will send you an email with the appeal decision.

Right: and I will return to this google support interface, asking to escalate the question to a higher level of management.

My case contains real evidence of employee misconduct within youtube:

I understand "enforcement", but the rules are not being enforced.

Youtube employees are breaking the rules.

Videos that do not contain hate speech are being cynically misinterpreted as a pretext to justifying the banning (and deletion) of my youtube channel.

You may also wait for the response of our Manager Ark, since you replied to his email.

Please stay on the line:

I have just now received the response to the appeal. [2:28 PM]

Within just a few minutes, suspiciously, the appeal was decided.

Almost instantaneous judgement.

Don't you find that remarkable?

Such a fast decision?

I already received the email confirming the decision to ban the video as hate speech.

So, now, I must request that the matter be escalated to a higher level of management.

Do you want a screenshot of the email I just received?

Sure!

Exhibit03.png

Thanks for the screenshot.

^ Almost zero time elapsed between my clicking the mouse-button to appeal and this decision from youtube. This is not normal: this is evidence of what is really happening here, and why.

Upon reviewing the screenshot, I regret to inform you that your appeal has been denied. Our internal team has reviewed the video and determined that it violates our Hate Speech policy. As a result, the video will remain removed and will not be restored.

I just submitted another appeal on another video (falsely categorized as hate speech) just now.

We will get a reply within one or two minutes, I expect, just like the last example.

This is a new link to a video not mentioned previously that is now, also, banned from my channel: https://youtu.be/oDmp7KyD71I

My case contains real evidence of employee misconduct within youtube:

I understand the "enforcement" of community standards, but the rules are not being enforced.

Youtube employees are breaking the rules.

Videos that do not contain hate speech are being cynically misinterpreted as a pretext to justifying the banning (and deletion) of my youtube channel.

This is an example that is less than 50 seconds long:

This is a longer discussion of several videos that were incorrectly banned from my channel for "hate speech", but they (like the short example above) do not contain any "hate speech" whatsoever:

Thank you for your time and consideration.

—————

I understand your frustration, but please know that we have thoroughly investigated your request and, I’m afraid there is nothing more I can add at this stage.

I am not frustrated.

Now, with the appeal process complete, I need to escalate my complaint to a higher level of management.

I understand, let me transfer your concern to my supervisor, they will get back to you here on chat shortly.

Thank you for your time and consideration, Ashyy.

Thanks for waiting! All of our specialists are still engaged at the moment. Let me go ahead and convert this chat to email. Rest assured that you will receive an email from us in the next 24 hours.

I'll be ending the chat now. Please feel free to reach out again if you need further assistance. Have a great day!

I am happy to wait. [2:44 PM]

Thanks for contacting YouTube. Have a great day.

Shai · 9:45 AM

Hi my name is Shai, how are you doing today?

Hello, Shai.

Hi there!

I am in a very serious situation:

How can I help you today?

someone at youtube is trying to (cynically) ban my channel.

Within the last few hours, three different videos have been (insincerely) banned as hate speech: my channel is going to be banned / deleted. This happened before, approximately one year ago, in exactly the same way.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZMBWEewOamE

I'm sorry to hear about that.

Thanks for sharing the video link.

I need an independent reviewer to look at my channel, and to look at the three videos now (suddenly) banned as hate speech: it cannot be the same person who has made the decision to ban them.

When I clicked on "human review" (today and one year ago) the review happened instantly:

normally, it is not such a fast process.

It is quite suspicious that these videos were banned, and the human review happened so quickly.

I see. Thanks for sharing the details.

Right now, my channel is (suddenly) facing "three strikes" for hate speech: none of the videos contain hate speech. They are not even discussing racism.

In the short video I sent you (already) you can see that there is just a mathematical chart on screen:

the video has been banned for hate speech at a moment flagged with a statistical discussion of the declining popularity of the vegan movement.

I'm sorry to hear about that. Can you share the video URL that received the violation?

I know you do not have a lot of time to investigate this in depth, but I already made a youtube video showing the details of what happened one year ago, when the same employee (or employees, plural) at youtube banned my channel, with false claims that specific videos contained hate speech.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcgy9PNWAEA

This is not something that has happened accidentally:

this is not the result of an algorithm responding to a word-search.

Thanks for sharing the video URL.

Someone inside youtube is breaking the rules, intentionally.

One of youtube's employees (or more than one) is very intentionally lying.

This happened one year ago, and it is happening again today.

Thanks for all the details you shared.

I know how important it is for you to have this issue sorted out. No worries, I got you and I'm more than willing to check this out for you.

(1) I am reporting employee misconduct within youtube. (2) I am reporting the intentional misuse of the censorship system against hate speech. (3) I am reporting that my own channel is about to be deleted (banned) again —this happened in the same way approximately one year ago, as I just mentioned. I really need this case to be escalated to higher levels of management on an emergency basis.

Thank you for listing all your request.

First off, your 1st and 2nd request is only possible with sending a feedback through this link : https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/4347644

As for your 3rd request, let me go ahead and check your channel first.

This is the channel url in question right? https://www.youtube.com/heijinzhengzhi

The problem here is not a misinterpretation of the definition of hate speech: all three "strikes" have come in (on old videos that nobody is watching anymore) simultaneously. And look at how little time elapsed between my requesting human review and the response from the reviewer. A youtube employee is doing this intentionally, again. One person at youtube (or more than one person) is contriving a pretext to ban my channel.

I understand where you're coming from.

Can you share a screenshot of the 3 violations you're seeing on your end?

The first two arrived at 7:27 AM and 7:28 AM. Does that sound normal to you? Does that sound possible to you?

I received the two emails, for two Community Rights Violations, one minute apart.

It is not possible these were based on complaints from the audience. It is not possible this is the result of the normal process of community guideline review.

I do understand your point, it's just that I can only see 1 Community Guideline violation here on your channel that's why I am asking for a screenshot of what you're seeing on your Studio.

The first video I sent you:

did you watch it?

It is only a few seconds long.

Exhibit01.png

Yes, I did watch it. I needed the actual video link that you're explaining in the video.

^ You asked for a screenshot.

^ That screenshot shows "three strikes".

All of a sudden, three different videos are marked as "hate speech". None of them contain hate speech. This is intentional misconduct by a youtube employee: it is a kind of corruption.

I see. Thanks for the screenshot. Can you confirm that this violation is under this channel : https://www.youtube.com/heijinzhengzhi

You say: "Yes, I did watch it. I needed the actual video link that you're explaining in the video."

https://youtu.be/xdEhTXBU_KI

^ That is the video. And the timestamp for the "hate speech" violation is 1:43 (as you could see in the short video).

This is really an emergency: I hope that someone at a higher level of management can intervene.

Thank you for confirming.

To help you better with this one, I'll just place our chat on hold for 3-5 minutes. Please stay connected.\

I will stay connected.

Please give me few more minutes here.

I am happy to wait:

this is a very difficult case,

and there is a long record of prior correspondence with youtube about it.

I do not know if you (at your computer) can see the evidence of the earlier decision to ban (and then unban) my channel:

July 14th, I received the email, "After taking another look, we can confirm that your channel does not violate our Community Guidelines."

^ This is really very important.

Thanks for patiently waiting. Are you there?

Yes. Can I show you a screenshot of the July 14th email from youtube?

Exhibit02.png

As per checking here, the violations you received is a bundle violation and it is counted as 1.

I’ve checked your channel and it appears that the enforcement action on your content has already been appealed on YouTube Studio. This means that a human reviewer was able to reevaluate your content and was able to determine that it does violate our Community Guidelines.

Your video is under 10 minutes the reason for the quick review.

I know that the result is something that creators like you wouldn't like to hear because of the hard work and time you've given to every content on your channel. We appreciate that you're always making sure that your channel doesn't violate any policies as it's also our job to make sure that YouTube is a safe place for all.

You may check this: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2801939?

I need you to escalate this to management:

the decision made today (by a human reviewer) is an example of egregious misconduct.

I need to escalate this to a higher level of review.

Please note that my manager uses the same resources and will share the same information with you.

Good: let me talk to your manager.

You can schedule me to speak to your manager.

I need to talk to the manager.

Alright, kindly stay connected.

We have an egregious example of employee misconduct within youtube: that "human review" you're talking about is important evidence.

Thank you, Shai, for your time and consideration.

You’re connected with agent Ark.

10:25 AM

Hi there! This is Ark, a manager from the YouTube Support Experience team.

Hello, Ark.

I assume you need a few minutes to read the correspondence above, and to look at some of the attached videos and images.

Hi, please allow me a moment to go over your previous interaction. Thanks!

That would be correct.

Hold on, please.

`Thanks for waiting. I understand you've reached out today because you've received enforcement actions on your videos, which you mentioned have not violated any policies and may have been falsely flagged.

Thank you for taking the time to read through these messages, Ark. The situation is a little bit more complicated, because…

(1) This happened before. Exactly the same thing happened one year ago, resulting in all of my youtube channels being banned-and-deleted.

I am sharing this image for a second time:

Exhibit02.png

Yes, I totally understand what you mean. This was only a summary of what transpired. But, I've also viewed all the details you've provided.

No need to repeat the mentioned details, I've got it noted.

(2) All of the evidence indicates that this is not happening accidentally: these are decisions being ade [sic] intentionally by a human being. In the first video link I sent…

(I will now send it again:) https://youtube.com/shorts/ZMBWEewOamE

…you can see that this is just a discussion of statistics (about veganism, not about race).

(Source video, again:) https://youtu.be/xdEhTXBU_KI

Someone inside youtube intentionally (and very rapidly) marked three different videos as hate speech.

They do not contain hate speech. And this is the same pattern (exactly the same set of actions) that happened one year ago.

Sometimes "hate speech" is a matter of subtle interpretation:

this is not a problem of interpretation or misinterpretation (in these videos, on my channel).

I get your point, no worries at all. That being said, please allow me some time to fully review all the details here to ensure that I fully understand the context of your concern. I'll be checking your channel now along with the videos.

I'll be right back, please give me 5 minutes. Thanks!

This same moment (of this black man complaining about difficulties in his own life: he complains that his own mother was too religious, for example) was used as an excuse to delete my youtube channel one year ago.

Exhibit03.png

^ I know you do not have time to watch these videos in full, but you will recognize his face (the black man complaining about various sorrows in his life) in this screenshot, above, comparing it to the following timestamp in the following video…

https://youtu.be/zcgy9PNWAEA?si=HxAa-cruef6c0dTF&t=720

^ At the 12:00 mark (twelve minute mark)

this is the same man, complaining about his life.

This is not hate speech.

However, it is significant that the same youtube employee(s) found this example (of this back [sic] man complaining) to create a kind of hoax, claiming that I am guilty of hate speech, approximately one year later.

I appreciate you adding more details. I'm still checking a few more things here, kindly give me 5 more minutes of your time.

I am happy to wait.

BTW, sorry about that typo:

I have "back man" as an error for "black man", above.

Thank you so much for waiting!

Are we still connected?

I say again: I am happy to wait.

Perfect. Just checking in. Alright, I've reviewed all the details here and just to help you out, I will be requesting assistance from our internal reviewers to have this re-reviewed again ALONG with the context you've provided today.

If you have any other details to add, I'll pass it along to the team.

Thank you very much...

I think there are further details that may be important.

Sure thing, I'll wait for you.

On Oct. 10th, 2024, remarkably little time elapsed when the decision to delete my channel was made: I do not believe the original decision went through the proper process of review. I did not receive the normal "three strikes" process. I did not receive notification of a single example of one of my videos that violated the rule in question with a time-stamp. Youtube told me "a single case of severe abuse… can cause channel termination without a warning or a strike and that's what happened to your channel." I genuinely do not know of a single example of this kind, but if one video breaks the rule, ban that one video, not the channel. On June 14th, 2025, youtube admitted the error, and my main channel was reinstated, after a 9 month ban: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWPKJM4CT6ES2BrUz9wbELw

^ The three videos that were banned (circa October 10th, 2024) have remained banned.

^ These three videos do not contain hate speech, and I prove this in my more recent video (link already shared above) discussing what happened and why.

To be clear, what I mean to say is, this (more recent) video contains the evidence of exactly what the original videos did say (that was insincerely and erroneously flagged as hate speech).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcgy9PNWAEA

Some details about who I am should be stated briefly: they are important (in judgements about hate speech).

(I'm still here btw, just letting you finish as I can still see you typing. Do let me know when you're done.)

My ethnicity is Jewish.

Ethnically, I am Jewish.

In the past, years ago, I can remember one of my videos being flagged as hate speech, but I was just talking about other people being racist against me (because I am Jewish, i.e., antisemitism).

https://youtu.be/RE-pSfgQzvk

^ This video shows me talking to my daughter (about antisemitism).

I am an atheist, but my ethnicity is Jewish: this is significant in the evaluation of some of my videos criticizing racism.

The person at youtube [who is marking these videos as hate speech] has repeatedly made use of quotations from this black man (who is not me, he is another person being quoted) as if he is being racist, and therefore I am guilty of racist hate speech. The black man is shown here, in a screenshot of the video that was banned today (banned just within the last few hours).

Exhibit03.png

It is possible that the excuse for banning my videos (and banning my channel) as hate speech relies on confusion about who I am (in these videos) and who is being quoted or criticized (i.e., even if I quote someone who is racist, that does not mean I am racist, if I am criticizing them).

On July 14th, I did not receive any detailed explanation from youtube: whoever did the human review apparently thought the earlier decision to ban my channel was ridiculous, and the decision (to unban my channel) was apparently simple. However, today, I have learned that I am still in danger of the same thing happening again and again.

I hope that my channel will have some kind of long term protection against this kind of cynical misinterpretation of hate speech in the future.

It is terrifying to see that exactly the same tactics can be used by youtube employees (to contrive to ban my channel) at any time.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Do you have any questions for me?

Is there any more information or evidence you would like from my side?

I believe you've already provided sufficient context here. But, if I do require additional information. I'll let you know via email. With that, can I contact you via [EMAIL ADDRESS]?

Yes, that is still an email account I use every day.

Perfect, thanks for confirming. I'll be in touch within 24 hours.

Thank you, again, for your time and consideration.

If you have any other concerns aside from this one, please feel free to reach out anytime.

When being banned on youtube leads to being banned in real life. ;-)

Notoriety hath its privileges.

[Meanwhile:] The still-ongoing debunking of Carlos Castaneda AND his PhD in Anthropology.

This article was published in 2024. Good luck finding a comedian willing to satirize it.

Perhaps nobody did more to discredit Anthropology as a science, as a university subject, and as a profession. I can't exactly say he's discredited religion, now can I?

Wallace’s account of her first “encounter” with Castaneda is chillingly clinical. His explanation of the act as a spiritual necessity to her is as bizarre as it is unsettling.

“You have to give your poto to the nagual,” Castaneda tells Wallace. Sex with him is not for pleasure, he claims. Sex is for sorcery reasons.

“For magical purposes we must have a ‘close encounter,’ ” he says. “It’s the only way left to us.… The hole between a woman’s legs is magic and when the nagual leaves his juice inside it goes directly to her brain.… It’s the fastest way.”

She is playful in response, not believing him. He is in his late 60s. He was friends with her father. She is 30 years younger. “Oh, are you a dirty old man guru, then?” she says.

“This is a serious proposition, chola!”

She isn’t interested. But Castaneda is relentless in calling her. Three times a day. Six times a day. Eventually, she relents. For their first time, they drive to a motel on Wilshire Boulevard. He doesn’t use a condom, claiming he has supernatural powers.

“Hey, you better not have gotten me pregnant,” she says.

“Me make you pregnant? Impossible! The nagual’s sperm isn’t human. It doesn’t match your juices. You’re human!”

The experience is cold, odd. She doesn’t want to repeat it, and she tells him so.

“That’s fine, chica, that’s fine,” she recalls him saying. “But let me tell you, being around the nagual is like being on a drug.… You’ll have to rest after seeing me. But you’ll want more of this drug.”

Despite her refusals, his calls kept coming, morning and night, as if he were always there. He oscillated between being sweet and romantic and erupting in rage. “You whore!” he said on more than one occasion. “You’re spoiled rotten—born with a silver spoon—up your culo!”

Now tell me, honestly, do you suppose anyone can really understand the life of the body without also, in contrast, understanding the life of the mind? These believers drape the clothing of a human being over an animal, and wrap the skin of a wild animal over an exceedingly domesticated human being, trying to figure out which one excites them more --and then grow old, without understanding what it once meant to be young.

[Other voices:] The original sin of mixing philosophy and autobiography.

Mixing the earnestness of philosophy with the deceptive art of autobiography soon enough turns the author into a figment of his own imagination. Even the most well-intentioned among us can fall prey to the pattern that makes anthropologists into cult leaders, as who we are becomes an aspect of what we teach, and increasingly we are forced to fictionalize who we are as a mere instrument of that instruction.

This is a mistake I would never make myself, you understand: one of the most influential authors of the 20th century (lamentably) was Tuesday Lobsang Rampa —although the extent to which that was his real name, or he ever was a real person, or how many of the books attributed to that name were actually written by him, is all very dubious indeed.

I am reasonably certain that the one book he claimed was written by his own cat ("Fifi Greywhiskers") was in fact entirely written by a human being.

Nihilist Outreach: the strange, sad case of Bennett Tomlin (of Crypto Critics Corner)

In this video simply titled "Despair", he ultimately confesses that he has started volunteering with the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) despite their inclusion of Maoists, Stalinists, etc., as he narrates himself —so great is his need to have something to believe in. Believe, believe, believe: you could go through the transcript with a red marker, circle the term each time it appears, and say to him, "that's your problem right there". He wants to believe in things that cannot be believed in.
