I'm not entirely convinced it is. I started a exploit development/security podcast with a couple friends a few months ago, we were banned on Youtube shortly after the 4th episode for a community guidelines violation. We appealed it and were reinstated pretty quickly (hours), which was a genuinely surprise to me given all I've heard about the Youtube system and the assumption that channels only got unbanned by being able to attract attention.
