You know those “donate by watching” videos going around for BLM? I’ve made a list of all of em I could find. 8 of the 28 I found have been removed from youtube. This happened around the same time I believe, as they were all there mere hours ago. 

Basically YouTube is marking these videos as spam and removing them because people are looping them continuously and not playing any other videos in between them which gets the user’s account flagged for possible bot activity, and when it happens en masse YouTube’s algorithms determine the video in question muat be a marketing scam using bots to generate revenue off the ads …

You have to play 3-5 different videos between these fundraiser ones if you’re going to keep replaying them because otherwise they will keep getting flagged and removed!
