Huh... This actually seems like not a bad way to ensure that Google is aware of the problem. A sufficiently large reddit community could probably knock a lot of big fish off of youtube with this approach
This has been happening for years. A friend of mine lost their channel twice because, somehow, his channel got hit by a ban wave of channels that were uploading specific Japanese adult videos with a very specific title.
It took him weeks of messaging YouTube to even get to a human being, and even then it was another month for his channel to come back. They know the system is bad, they just don't care.
The fish big enough for google to care about are all protected from this stuff.
YouTube is completely and utterly broken for anyone smaller than “I make tens/hundreds of thousands for google and have a management team to handle my YouTube issues”
