Educational YouTube strikes playlists on channels!

[George]

YouTube now gives strikes for playlists on channels with video on other people's channels that violate Community Guidelines, even in your Watch Later private playlist.

We have never seen this happen before, but it is happening now.

Strikes are heavy-handed, but YouTube needs to discourage the spread of videos that violate their community guidelines. Popular playlists can drive many views to the videos in the playlist.

Alternative penalties YouTube can do include removing the offensive videos from each playlist, contacting the playlist owner warning them to clean up their playlists, but currently YouTube has chosen to issue Community Guideline strikes.

YouTube needs to be a bit more sensible and put the blame right where it belongs - The offending video and no one else. Maybe just add a warning flag on the video thumbnail so that people will be cautioned that it contains questionable content and steer viewers away from it. Or just take down the offending video so no one can even see it in the first place.

The solution YouTube has taken is only going to punish innocent users, in my opinion.

Honestly Youtube needs to be more transparent cause this is ridiculous.
