Also the automated moderation on YT is also terrible.
Basically, Google never invested enough in their moderation systems. All we get is automated checks and appeals until one overworked uninterested Google employee will just refuse the final appeal.
And if that dev/creator has a community large enough they can appeal on X or some bullshit so that it’s reverted.
