It’s spelled “YouTube”.
Oh heck no, that’s where the real “squirrel eaters” live.

I bet that someone took exception to the fact that a Nepentes carnivorous plant decal might, to a dirty mind, look like genitalia. I wonder if AI suffers from pareidolia too.

We loosely prefer AP style, which says you should “generally” use the company’s preferred spelling but offers give to avoid symbols or peculiar capitalization if the whim takes you. The styleguide is inconsistent (or at least arbitrary: for example it says “eBay” is fine but “lululemon” is not) but obviously offers latitude to avoid these branding artifices.
Note: lowercase or fabulously rendered personal names are fine by me.

Automated moderation fails yet again. I just wish Google and other techbro companies would get their heads out of their collective butts and stop using computers for human related issues.

Now if there was only a way to punish people who maliciously report videos as something they are not, in order to discourage such blatant abuse of the reporting system…

I’m pretty sure they are - there are a lot of nutty people out there, offended by (literally) everything, have ideological bones to pick, or just driving trollies. So there must be some threshold of report numbers that needs to be met, and/or algorithms are involved. The platform failure is at that point.

Well, Hamburger Lady is still up. I’m feeling a little reassured that everything hasn’t yet gone pear-shaped.

But that would require them to employ and pay humans to moderate videos, even at minimum wage, that’s more money than they’re obviously prepared to pay.
