I have an answer about why my YouTube account was suspended. When I was searching around for a way to get an answer from YouTube, it occurred to me to check my Gmail spam filter because everyone else mentioned getting a notification from YouTube, but I hadn’t. Sure enough, there it was.

I learned one of the videos in my account had been flagged as inappropriate. YouTube reviewed this and decided the video is in violation of community guidelines. I was shocked. It’s a video about a children’s toy. I bought it as part of a plr package of articles and videos about toys for Christmas.

If you’re curious, watch this:

Any ideas how this could be considered inappropriate? I have no clue.

In the email, YouTube said the suspension is for 6 months. Okay, good. It’s not forever. But I sure don’t plan to upload any videos to YouTube in the future. The “community guidelines” are way too arbitrary for my taste.

I do find it pretty funny that an official email message from YouTube would end up in my Gmail spam. Serves them right!

Leave a comment if you have any thoughts about what made this video inappropriate. Thanks.
