>You're displeased that their algorithm is too sensitive and flagged your content as a false positive, right?

No. As I said, their rules. I have no idea if it is a false positive since I cannot get an answer as to what guideline was violated. I could have violated one of their guidelines.

Youtube doesn't owe me anything ... I use their service for free with unlisted videos to share with family. They make no money off the videos.

My point was if they can flag something like my video, I am sure they can flag the ones given as examples attracting the other people.

I can understand your point that false positives would generate more upset content creators who do make their videos public and would like ads run against them.

You point out that there are similar videos in the system that aren't getting flagged, which makes a pretty good argument that the algorithm is random and ineffective.
