H3H3 slams YouTube demonetizing his video for alleged \u201cracism\u201d YouTube: H3H3ProductionsEthan \u2018H3H3\u2019 Klein has slammed YouTube after a human review of one of his most recent videos was demonetized for being \u201cracist,\u201d requesting that whoever made that decision be fired, clearly disagreeing with the verdict. Ethan has had his fair share of controversy over the years as a long-standing YouTube stalwart, finding himself on either side of drama as it unfolds, but this time he is clearly upset by YouTube deeming his video to be \u201cracist.\u201d While many creators complain about their videos being automatically demonetized for whatever reason by YouTube\u2019s auto-review system, it\u2019s not often content creators speak out against the human reviews they receive, so there\u2019s clearly a serious issue. Posting a tweet to Team YouTube in the early hours of May 5, H3 asked \u201ccan we agree to fire whoever marked our newest video as being racist?\u201d The video in question was titled \u201cEverybody Loves Ethan\u201d and was a response to a \u201cslanderous\u201d video from fellow YouTuber SomeOrdinaryGamers. Elaborating on the issue, Klein said that \u201cThey said it is racist and stopped showing it to people,\u201d adding that the reviewer \u201cdidn\u2019t even provide a timestamp\u201d for the allegation, giving him no idea of what was wrong in the video. YouTube responded quickly and asked for a URL to be provided, obviously looking to see how the issue arose and what could be done about the review, and Ethan seemed grateful enough for their help. https:\/\/twitter.com\/h3h3productions\/status\/1257527174929629184?s=20 His initial dismay at the problem, though, was evident, and the fact that ads were limited on the upload means he won\u2019t be able to monetize it to the degree he would have hoped \u2013 or at all, depending on the final verdict. Whether or not the decision is reverted remains to be seen, but neither YouTube or H3H3 have spoken on the issue since or provided more details, so we will have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
