YouTube's monetization system is clearly targeting against specific words in video titles and descriptions because it just tagged BOTH of my filler videos about DOSBox for additional review before they were even partially uploaded, which means it's 99% likely they won't get monetized.
Which isn't too big a deal really, but it's still ridiculous when you think about it. Two of my videos with the largest amount of original content also happen to be two which YouTube doesn't want to monetize because their automated system thinks that because they're related to DOSBox they must not contain original content. >_>;
Seriously, how do some of you who upload to YouTube on a regular basis deal with their fully-automated BS? Very few things on this planet bother me but their total reliance on automation over Human decision-making does. :P
EDIT: And just as I finished this post, Filler #4 came back as monetized. #3 is still under review... wasn't expecting THAT... :o
EDIT #2: And now, a few hours later, both are monetized... Considering the things I've already experienced in relation to this, not to mention the things I've read and heard about this process, I honestly did not expect either video to come back as being monetized, let alone both of them... Maybe the system isn't as stupid as I've been led to believe... :o
...I'd still prefer it if real people were involved in the process though. :P
