Earlier today, I found a new Ants Canada video in my subscription feed, but when I tried to watch it, the video appeared to be restricted and had to be "approved" before I can watch it (at least, that is what the error message said). This appears to be affecting about 90% of the content on my feed. what is going on and can I stop this?

YouTube made a new T.O.S preventing a lot of content recently, like 1 curse word in a video = demonitization, and is giving people rewards to report videos. In mikey's new video, he fed a dead hamster and stuffed cockroaches to his fire ant colony. To bypass restriction, sign in to your Google/Youtube account.

I doubt they will overtake youtube, but at least they are competing with them, trust me I've been on there long enough to see the amount of changes/work the admins have put in. There is a lot more stuff happening then what viewers see :P

 

You also need to know youtube wasn't built in a day, they've have a lot of time [10+ years] of growing and stuff to become what they are today.

I was able to watch the video with the dead hamster without problem, but I have notice some content here and there being deleted or restricted...

 

This is kind of strange because the other day I have to ask my son to stop watching a video on youtube of a guy playing and doing a "review" of a game because in reality he was just yelling "F(bomb), F(bomb)" back to back without adding any to what he was describing... I check who was running the channel, and I found that it's a "Famous YouTuber" who upload videos of him playing different games and just keep screaming while playing... YouTube access it's now limited to videos that do not contain bad language and provide some interesting details, not just a guy doing some stupid challenge, or "playing" games!
