hey @YouTube @YouTubeCreators — for the past 2 years, a series of videos i've made called Punch Punch Forever has been shadowbanned/super buried in the search results when you search the phrase "Punch Punch Forever". this isn’t just on my end — nearly everyone I know who’s tried searching it sees the same thing. CURRENTLY, the first episode shows up near the top for me, but this wasn’t the case for a long time (over a year), and the second episode still doesn’t show up at all, after a year. related content like fan dubs, reactions, edits, the theme song, etc all show up just fine — but my actual PPF uploads from my “speedoru” channel are either buried or missing entirely. it feels very touch and go and inconsistent. my PPF merch videos show up more reliably than the actual episodes i've talked to youtube support agents multiple times, and in email, more than one of whom even acknowledged the situation was "unusual", but offered no actionable help beyond generic advice like "try changing your tags!" or "try a different thumbnail" which dont address the actual issue. i brushed it off as an algorithm hiccup when it happened to the first video, but when it happened to the second video too (seemingly, even worse with it showing up even less frequently), obviously something was consistently wrong, and I'd just like to know what, as it makes me uneasy about posting future episodes onto the site could it be because the show has all Japanese audio? is the word “Punch” in the title a TOS trigger? the content itself shouldn't be an issue since they're both ad-approved. i'd at least be able to work around any of those issues if they were the cause, but no one i've talked to on your end has ever told me if they are this is not me being upset about it not getting enough views or something, i'm annoyed about it just flat out not showing up in the search results for people who want to search for it. somehow the episodes show up when you search for them on Google, but not Youtubes search. I still get messages from people saying they can't find them on youtube 2 years on now. please have another look into this! i've tried getting this sorted behind the scenes and it was just endlessly running in circles. I’d really love to keep posting my series to youtube without this happening every time. thanks🤠
