YouTube Just Gave Me a Strike...

Background
On August 28, 2020, a YouTuber that goes by the name of Penguinz0, also known as Moistcr1tikal, had his "Road Rager Learns A Hard Lesson" video taken down for allegedly breaking YouTube's policy on violent or graphic content; The video in question showcased a comically staged dashcam footage of a group of people dressed up as cartoon mascots hijacking a man's vehicle. This takedown was later reinforced by YouTube's staff members, after claiming to have manually reviewed Penguinz0's appeal.

On September 1, 2020, Penguinz0 pointed out on Twitter that Mark's "Try Not To Laugh Challenge #2" video has the exact same clip, yet was not taken down, albeit in a joking manner to highlight YouTube's double standards. Mark even welcomed this post, replying with "fair is fair" before receiving a warning on the aforementioned video only a few hours later.

Summary
Mark discussed the aforementioned situation in depth in his vlog, stating that he holds no grudge against Penguinz0 for highlighting his video and that he wants for YouTube to re-evaluate their stance on the matter, while also highlighting a number of ways YouTube could have resolved the matter by speaking directly with the creator, such as asking them to edit out the offending material or simply take down the video altogether. Mark drove home the point that YouTube should trust the community that watches each video instead of leaving it to algorithms, lest the creators feel like "cogs in the advertising machine."

Aftermath
On September 2, 2020, YouTube reinstated their removed videos and revoked both channels' strikes, later apologizing to all associated parties for this inconvenience on Twitter. Both Mark and Penguinz0 thanked YouTube and considered the matter closed.
