Those users could become loyal to Microsoft, White said. And eventually, some users may even \u201cget tired of bypassing the Microsoft account requirements, or Microsoft will add a new feature that they\u2019ll happily get the account for, and they\u2019ll relent and start using a Microsoft account,\u201d White suggested in his video. \u201cAt least some people will, not me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Microsoft declined Ars\u2019 request to comment.<\/p>\n
To White, it seemed possible that YouTube was leaning on AI \u00a0to catch more violations but perhaps recognized the risk of over-moderation and, therefore, wasn\u2019t allowing AI to issue strikes on his account.<\/p>\n
But that was just a \u201ctheory\u201d that he and other creators came up with, but couldn\u2019t confirm, since YouTube\u2019s chatbot that supports creators seemed to also be \u201csuspiciously AI-driven,\u201d seemingly auto-responding even when a \u201csupervisor\u201d is connected, White said in his video.<\/p>\n
Absent more clarity from YouTube, creators who post tutorials, tech tips, and computer repair videos were spooked. Their biggest fear was that unexpected changes to automated content moderation could unexpectedly knock them off YouTube for posting videos that in tech circles seem ordinary and commonplace, White and Britec said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not even sure what we can make videos on,\u201d White said. \u201cEverything\u2019s a theory right now because we don\u2019t have anything solid from YouTube.\u201d<\/p>\n
YouTube recommends making the content it\u2019s removing<\/p>\n
White\u2019s channel gained popularity after YouTube highlighted an early trending video that he made, showing a workaround to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware. Following that video, his channel\u2019s views spiked, and then he gradually built up his subscriber base to around 330,000.<\/p>\n
In the past, White\u2019s videos in that category had been flagged as violative, but human review got them quickly reinstated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were striked for the same reason, but at that time, I guess the AI revolution hadn\u2019t taken over,\u201d White said. \u201cSo it was relatively easy to talk to a real person. And by talking to a real person, they were like, \u2018Yeah, this is stupid.\u2019 And they brought the videos back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, YouTube suggests that human review is causing the removals, which likely doesn\u2019t completely ease creators\u2019 fears about arbitrary takedowns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Those users could become loyal to Microsoft, White said.
