--mirror-- Endnote 2: White Fascism
Added 2018-11-30 01:00:15 +0000 UTCThe new video got taken down as "hate speech," probably by getting mass-flagged by Nazis. I'm disputing it, and will hopefully either get it reinstated or find out what I need to change to reupload it.
In the meantime, here's a mirror on Vimeo (somewhat more compressed to get it under Vimeo's 500MB limit). Hopefully this will be sorted soon.
To all the folks who didn't get to see it before it got removed: enjoy.

The report I got said they had received reports, so it was manually flagged. Word I got from other people is that it's common for them to report any video critical of them that has images of swastikas/Nazis, so that, when YouTube reviews the report, they go to the timestamp provided, see a swastika, and say "yeah, I guess this is hatespeech."

Come to think of it, I guess it could be some weird combination of the two like if a bunch of Nazis flagged it but YT had no idea they were Nazis or why they were flagging it.

2018-11-30 12:13:37 +0000 UTCSo sorry you have to deal with the mass flagging :/

2018-11-30 05:15:57 +0000 UTCA tip! Alt Right us anti hatespeech rules to get these videos taken down. Censoring hate symbols and holocaust imagery can help a lot.

2018-11-30 01:14:53 +0000 UTCIs this the first time this happened? Because that'd actually be pretty surprising.
