The speaker received a YouTube strike for a video containing violent and graphic content, but they are disputing the claim due to their understanding of the content. They believe the content is not violent or graphic, and they are the first to receive a strike for it. They also believe the YouTube manual review system is not working effectively, as they are not sure who is reviewing the content.
They expressed their frustration over YouTube's uneven application of their rules and suggested that creators should be given the responsibility to self-moderate their content. They also pointed out that YouTube has a feature that allows creators to trim out sections of their videos, which could be used to remove problematic content.
They called for YouTube to remove the strikes and reinstate the video, as they believe this is a misapplication of the guidelines. They also asked for action against videos that are being reported but not taken down, and for better communication about how this can be avoided in the future. They suggested that YouTube should trust its community more and take some of their suggestions into consideration.
In conclusion, the speaker believes that the issues are a result of a lack of trust and effective communication within YouTube. They want to see an end to the strikes, action against reported videos, and an improvement in the communication and transparency between YouTube and its creators.
