There is a single crypto scam video that is present in literally hundreds (and possibly thousands+) of full album playlists. There it sits in the middle of the album playlist to catch unsuspecting people.
Not going to link and give them link juice. You could search “Sadeo Watanabe Autumn Blow full album” playlist; You will see “unreleased” but use your brain and don’t click! I’ve personally seen it over 200 times over various playlists.
I don’t know how the hell they managed to get that video embedded in thousands of playlists, there must be some engineering behind this feat.
I want that fking video gone. I know how to personally block that using my tools, but that is not the issue. I want it gone off the platform for me and the rest of the world.
We all know YouTube is an opaque black box as it relates to any realistic or reasonable good faith customer service concern, so I feel that going through any front-facing channel/account is pointless. I’ve reported it every time I’ve seen it, I am sure I’m not the only one, yet there it stays.
So … going to any ridiculous extremes and using every last drop of creativity, what is the most likely course if action(s) to get this video removed forever?
If you have already reported it the best you could do is bring it to a large youtuber and see of they can boost the reports.
Totally 100% valid approach, I don’t know if I have the communication skills or “clout”, I’m just some bozo. But I’ll look into that!
My greatest fear is the problem being solved, but being solved in an incredibly destructive way, namely me losing access to hundreds of extremely rare albums. But that’s selfish of me, that video needs to go
You could make your own playlist without the scam videos or download the videos and not have to deal with YT anti features.
I have done that for over 100 albums, but again this does not address my underlying issue. It keeps coming back like a bad penny.
My goal is to figure out how to get that video removed.
