MoistCritikal slams YouTube for \u201cnonsensical\u201d strikes over SpongeBob road rage video YouTube: MoistCr1tikalYouTube issued a striker to content creator NightDocs, despite previously resolving the same issue with MoistCr1TiKal and Markiplier. YouTube strikes are the platform\u2019s way of warning creators about their content. Receiving three results in the same 90-day period results in a channel being permanently removed from YouTube. If a YouTuber violates the service\u2019s Community Guidelines, they can receive a strike. Decisions can be appealed, but as we have learned with other content creators, appealing is a scary and frustrating process. Popular YouTuber and Twitch streamer MoistCr1TiKal called out YouTube for issuing a \u201cnonsensical\u201d strike to NightDocs for a fake road rage video featuring people dressed as Spongebob and Mickey Mouse. Yes, you read that correctly. YouTube rehashes old feud with content creators In MoistCr1TiKal\u2019s October 12 YouTube video, he discussed an incident in which he and other content creators received a strike from YouTube for violating the violence and graphic content policy. The video in question shows four people in mascot costumes \u201cbeating up\u201d a man while two people watch and laugh. The video is relatively harmless and appears to be a stunt. \u201cI made a big stink because there was nothing wrong with that video,\u201d MoistCr1TiKal said. \u201cIt was taken down for being disturbing content, but there was no real violence, blood. It was all fake.\u201d Markiplier is one of the most prominent content creators on YouTube, and he used his large platform to take a stand. He also reacted to the video and said he should receive a strike too. YouTube responded by hitting his channel with its first strike ever. \u201cMarkiplier went up to bat for me and saved the day,\u201d MoistCr1TiKal said. \u201cThat man has been my savior for that action there.\u201d YouTube backtracked, saying, \u201cWe\u2019re not going to die on this hill. You were right\u2026 after (even further) review, your videos and others are back up, and these strikes have been removed. This was an over-enforcement of our policies.\u201d However, on October 11, YouTube issued a strike to NightDocs for the same video. NightDocs responded, \u201cI just got hit with a strike for the same stupid fu**ing Spongebob road rage clip.\u201d \u201cI feel so bad for NightDocs,\u201d MoistCr1TiKal said. \u201cI don\u2019t know what they see in this video that no one else on the planet is, but it is so peculiar.\u201d We will provide an update if YouTube responds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
