A Viral YouTube Video got Ruined by Google AI and VidIQ.

A Viral YouTube Video got Ruined by Google AI and VidIQ. Algorithm Horror Story In May 2020, I started my YouTube Channel, and oh boy, this was quite an experience (more on that later).

My channel had over 2 million views and almost 10 thousand subscribers in the past months. Finally, I had a viral video (I made 30 videos so far, and one got over 200.000 views going to 50.000 views per day). This latest and first viral Video was a product of my membership in Vid-IQ.

Google taught me how to edit videos, use hashtags, and promote the Video; so far, so good. The Video I uploaded about 20 days ago got almost 200.000 views. YouTube was sending me e-mail messages – I have a hit. A viral YouTube Video, my first hit.

Vid-IQ sent me a mail that I had a hit.

The Video does very well, and Google AdSense (I promoted the Video for 100 bucks over the last three weeks) asked me to double down on the content. Adsense advises paying more money for an advertisement to get even better results.

Here is where it all went wrong!

My Video was funny, and it included pigs breeding.

VidIQ came with the advice (after three weeks) to use the hashtag/word swine and testicles in the title. The second thing which ruined the YouTube Viral Video momentum. I made two more advanced advertisements with specific targeting groups.

As a result, my new ad got flagged as it would need a certificate in Russia. This action was weird as the country Russia got included in the first advertisement for 100 $ for three weeks. I never had a problem with ads before that date.

The word “testicles” started to give issues, and I am sure AI used the word “testicles” to put my Video in private mode.

The word “testicles” started to give issues, and I am sure AI used the word “testicles” to put my Video in private mode.

I was the only one who could see the Video, and it all happened just before the weekend (so nobody could do anything till Monday). It said YouTube put the Video in the following category: for members only 18 years or older who had to log in to see the content.

YouTube would later undo this, so now it is only seen by me (put in private mode).

I advertised more with the YouTube link of the viral Video on social media and made short trailers. I promote my content on many occasions.

Now people would click and see videos not available. When I upload all my content, I always mention not for children (not that it’s not suitable but to avoid headaches) and 18 years and older (which I only do to prevent headaches).

Copyrights

First, almost 70% of my videos got flagged because of Music Rights Copyright claims.

I bought all this music, and I had the license agreement certificates. YouTube asked me for these agreements, so I copy-pasted and signed my protest. After a few days, I would get the message from YouTube; the rights got cleared.

However, with the viral Video, the music claim took three weeks to be re-activated (three weeks, google would use advertisement with this Video). I got excited when the Video did well and got pushed by Google / YouTube to spend more money.

I make more advertisements just so the AI could ruin my first viral Video. The Video was on its way to reaching my first million views.

Question? Why can’t you upload the certificate of purchased music rights when you upload the video to avoid claims and this due process?

Blood in the title is a big No.

Another promoted video of mine contained the word blood in the title. The context was not about horror or violence. Still, the word blood has a specific meaning: “genes or athleticism run in the blood” (the context of talent running in the family).

The whole Video is fun with kids, and not one drop of blood got spilled, but the Ai flags it as shocking content. The same happened with my pig video.

The title contained the word wrestle, but no pigs are harmed or wrestled (used as a metaphor). In three weeks, it became a viral video. Vidic helps a lot if you are a content creator; in my case, too much, haha. The VidIQ suggested using ” hashtags words” and making extra advertisements, which killed the momentum.

I just used the word “killed the momentum in my writing,” If you use this in your title now on YouTube, AI will flag it. A small experiment; I put on purpose the word horror in this title; you know the context. Ok, so what if the problem gets solved today?

Solving the Problem and avoiding future problems are wise lessons.

Before I answer this question, I would like people to know what happened to me as a content maker for YouTube. When I started my channel, my channel got removed, spam according to the AI. Later my channel was restored. The AI made a mistake. Many videos are flagged as shocking content, but after a few days, the AI (google employee) admits it made a mistake.

With the rendering of some of the videos, things got terrible, and I had to re-upload. I made the mistake of using some video footage by somebody sent by WhatsUp and Messenger (It’s compromised and not 4K). The thumbnails have the wrong letter type. I use my thumbnails for my videos recommended by VidIQ.

Facebook uses the wrong thumbnail, which I replaced already for the correct one.

It took one week to sort out the headache. My website, www.katoboonfamily.com, would somehow not see the new link with the correct thumbnail. The old thumbnails got stuck in the cache.

Debugger from Facebook

The debugger from Facebook did not work. To make things more exciting,” Facebook decided to force me to work with a new page outlet, which resulted in me not finding any buttons.

The new Facebook page design resulted in me pushing some wrong buttons. Now my whole Facebook was in Chinese. Two days later, still no change for my post on Facebook with the correct YouTube link and thumbnails.

Solution; I use “Google translate” with my phone to scan my laptop to solve the Chinese settings and get to the settings to change my Facebook page in English. I re-edited some of the newly uploaded versions for YouTube while fixing the thumbnail mistakes (I edited on my iPhone. Indeed, my iPhone storage was whole.

The video editor started to delete random files on my phone from my video leap editing program. I bought a new mac computer to have more options to edit. I synchronized my new Mac with my cloud. For reasons unknown, the latest Mac version also deletes files from my shadow. When you delete files from pictures on your iPhone. I had to re-edit the video and re-shoot some of the deleted content.

The new Mac computer deletes all my content from my cloud.

I mostly blame myself for all the above; it’s a learning process. You are dealing with AI and computer software, not some random guy who checks every 5000 per sec uploads on YouTube.

It can be very frustrating and energy-draining, however. I am busy creating content, and several videos have over a hundred thousand thousand views in a few months. When the original Video (now put on private mode) is re-activated, it will go to a million views+.

I re-uploaded the Video, which AI put on private mode. It usually runs, but I can’t promote the Video as I assume AI still sees the word wrestling in a shocking context. I am waiting for a Google employee to tell me some good news.

The sad story could be that despite restoring the original link, the momentum has gone, and AI will not put the viral Video in the correct spot. My viewers could be turned off by links not working, and the whole Ai problem is slowing my channel as a content maker.

My links are not working on social media.

For now, I stopped my advertisements and uploads and hoped for a quick solution. So far, it has been a few months now, and nothing has happened. The Video KatoBoonFamily Papa Boon Wrestles a Funny Pig is made 18+ by YouTube.

I still don’t know where I can find the shocking content in this Video. YouTube should indicate with (music copyrights issues) which scene is unsuitable for all ages. Appalling content: why don’t they do the same with a music copyright claim?

YouTube shows you the place in the Video where you can find the music with a copyright claim. This way, I could re-edit the Video and edit out the specific scenes with copyright issues.

According to team YouTube, the content should be 18+, and I could do this in the future and save time and money. VidIQ suggests using famous hashtags words; they indicate the hashtag “testicle” this made the YouTube algorithm go crazy. It is difficult to get A Viral YouTube video when you start as a creator; this treatment from Google is very client unfriendly.

Tik Tok’s two million views viral video was removed by the complaining community.

The YouTube help came fast and was directed through Twitter. Thanks for that. Still waiting for a reply on the indicated content and putting the Video at least from private back to 18+ for now; I will keep you updated. I have another Viral YouTube Video, and again, it was ruined by some Google YouTiube employee because she, he, or they found a kid video offensive.

Recently I had a massive hit on Tik Tok, the video of my son kato Boon poking a rubber swimming pool with a sister was considered dangerous and offensive. The video had two million views in one week. Some naggers complained, jealous, miserable people. They push the complaint an offend button, and the algorithm says, we removed your content. You appeal, you can’t, or it’s negative in the end.
