> For example, YouTube doesn't want violent content. Just having the word "kill" in your title can get the content demonetized, even if the content is about a video game and properly categorized as such. It's been this way for years.
I think that this actully is violent content - so this is actually an example where the algorithm worked fine (which does not contradict your argument that there exist false positives - they are just a lot more subtle).
- AndrewOMartin 7y agoThis video [1] about how to do the Charleston dance got demonetized, and there only hypothesis is because it had "Charleston" in the title a mere year-and-a-bit after the Charleston church shooting. That's not exactly subtle. I understand there could be other reasons for being demonetised, but it's hard to see what it could be in a very very inoffensive video about how to do a vintage dance.

- wolfgke 7y ago> Is it really violent content when you're dealing with space ships with no humans or animals on board? If you are referring to the game example given some posts above: "Killing" means that the respective object was alive before - a property that a space ship with no living beings onboard does not have. So the respective author named and labelled the video improperly.
