Kurzgesagt, a massive YouTube channel with 25 million subscribers known for their educational animations, recently had their views drop out of nowhere because YouTube shadowbanned them. After noticing something was wrong, they reached out to their YouTube contacts and was told that YouTube's AI had falsely identified their videos as AI generated content, which caused the platform to suppress their videos. This is a huge deal because Kurzgesagt is one of the most well known animation channels on YouTube, and their content is very clearly not AI. It's also crazy because YouTube says that uploading AI does not impact a video performance, but we now learned this is not true. This raises concerns about how the YouTube AI moderation system works, because if it can falsely flag a channel this big, it can happen to anyone. So why did YouTube shadow ban Kurzgesagt? Why did Kurzgesagt's views drop? How did YouTube AI mistake real animation for AI content? What is the Kurzgesagt shadow ban situation about? Find out here, because this situation is crazy and scary for creators everywhere...
