'Age-Restricted' - YouTube
YouTube is now flagging content as part of the upload process and the algorythim may be a little keen. I had my latest video automatically 'age-restricted' though I cannot see how or why it may have triggered the algorythim.
The communication I recieved states that "our team has reviewed your content" though that cannot be the case; it has to be algorythimic I'd say.
If you're over 18 and logged into YouTube you can view the video here. I'd be interested to hear your best guess; what do you think could have triggered the flag?

Want your YouTube videos to be viewed off of YouTube?
You will have seen that social media platforms are adding links to Corona information for posts which "talk about" Covid-19: YouTube has been adding this Covi-19 chin.
One consequence, which might not be obvious, is that videos such as this will not play in the embedded player. People will need to click through to watch on YouTube, where the chin is visible.
So, unless your video is really about Covid-19 do not mention Covid or Corona in your video titles or descriptions. As doing so removes the external opportunity to see.

A home for all of your YouTube Clips ✂️
Since I first wrote about YouTube Clips there have been a number of small updates.
With this latest update YouTube have added a Clips link to the main navigation which links to a page where you can see all the clips you have made.
👉 youtube.com/feed/clips
What's needed now is the option for channel admins to opt-in (or out) of Clips, both at a channel level and at the individual level.

YouTube Clips
Clips are a new way for you and your fans to share favorite moments from your videos and live streams. With Clips, you and your fans can share 5-60 seconds of your existing content to highlight that must-watch moment. Clips will have their own shareable links…
Details of the YouTube Shorts Fund
A new video details how creators on YouTube could be offered payments of between $100 to $10000 each month, for creating popular and unique #Shorts
The most interesting thing here I think is that it's open to all creators, including those outside the YouTube partner program.

Do you need a seperate YouTube channel for Shorts?
MKBHD has officially announced a new channel for shorts. It's a trend at the moment, but is it the right way to go and why do YouTubers feel that there is a need for seperate channel for shorts?
Personally my view is that shorts aren't their own thing on YouTube. They are often used to make a short version of a long video on the same channel and this duplication is what suggest that the seperation is a good idea.
I'd say YouTube has dropped the ball. What was and still is needed are notification filters. So that subscribers can choose what they want to be notified of from a channel: no shorts, just shorts etc.
What's your view?

YouTube's videos descriptions have moved
This may be an A/B test, but I'm seeing (on the Youtube desktop site) video description no longer expanding below thge video, but are now displayed to the right.
When the decription is long enough there is an aditional "More" button to expand the decription box further.
I understand the logic of this as the viewer can read the description while the video plays in place, but it feels to me like it's less connected to the videi itself.
Are you seeing this on desktop too?
Whay do you think?

More YouTube layout tests
Last time I showed how YouTube was testing moving the video description from below the video to the right hand column. Now YouTube are also toying with moving the comments section too.
Accessing the description seems particularly difficult, with just a tiny clickable area to launch the description pannel. Comments gets a more visible clickable pill next to a new "subscribe" layout.
Thoughts?
Is anyone else seeing these A/B tests?

WTF YouTube?!
Not sure why YouTube thinks when a user clicks or taps on a hashtag that they want to see completely unrelated search results 🤷♂️
Google's ability to be really dumb is often surprising.
EDIT: I've take a closer look and it seems that YouTube has completely given up on hashtag pages. If this was communicated anywhere please link me to it. Thanks
EDIT 2: Some hashtags go to the hashtag page. Some, it seems like most, redirect to a search page.

Remember video responses on YouTube?
.... Which were dumped way back in 2013.
Well it seems #Shorts have brought back a way to respond, at least for videos 60 seconds and under: use cut.
Though you can only use around five seconds from the Short you are responding to.
Easy? Try it out and let me know 👍
