According to Summoning Salt, the video was age-restricted for 'excessive abuse' by YouTube's automated moderation system. It is said that the Twitch streamer's remarks used to explain the RTA included abusive language, and the number of times was 19 times in the 1 hour 18 minute video. However, when Summoning Salt used analytics tools to examine videos posted by other YouTube channels, it said it found some videos that were nearly twice as aggressive as those videos and were not age-restricted. I'm here.



In response to this report, YouTube's official Twitter account acknowledged that it was a mistake to put an age limit on the video, and said in a reply on September 22, 2022 that the age limit would be removed.

I am complaining that I want you to set it.

Summoning Salt also appeared in the comment section of Ars Technica, a technology media, saying, ``If the guideline says, 'If there is an abusive language, set an age limit,' I will follow it and edit vulgar words. 'The problem is that YouTube enforces rules that are extremely inconsistent and completely illogical. The rules are not evenly applied.'

In addition, when Ars Technica contacted YouTube, a spokesperson replied that `` YouTube has correctly set an age limit for the video based on its vulgar language policy, '' but inconsistent models There was no response to a question about rations.
