With all that oscilloscope porn, thats totally understandable ;-)
Dave recently showed some negative ratings from viewers in certain countries that based on the views could have never watched the video. Is there a new try with flagging content as inappropriate?
Channels like ADVChina have also some effect that people republish their videos on chinese platforms with different subtitles and changing the statements made in a drastic way.
Should be in here

It´s different in this case, as it is all on youtube, but once there is a group doing such things, who knows.
It would work a lot better producing "acceptable content", should youtube have a more transparent approach to why they are doing what. Without that feedback that would require guessing on the side of the youtuber and no improvement can be expected, i almost can not believe that the youtube community is built in such a way that one is punished without being told why and can get the next strike without even knowing why. Maybe there is a collection of rules published somewhere, checking against it would be a good preparation for getting in contact with some form of community management that is probably present there, so best would be Dave contacts them. Being reasonable of course, they are probably getting quite some complaints.
I mean most methods of filtering out inappropriate content have been tried before, e.g. the first chats did have blacklists of words, which were easily circumvented by obscuring with leetspeak or asterisks, anyone could still understand what was meant. A filter that makes no distinction about context or meaning is therefore an indication at best. At least it worked for people with an obvious Keyboard-Tourette-Syndrome.
