So this messed up my release for today. I had SNDN3 uploaded a week ago and wanted it to be manually reviewed but it never changed to "yellow" so I couldn't get it reviewed. The second I publish it today and it starts getting a lot of views, it flips to yellow. Because of that...https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1070082449865101313 …

...it doesn't get pushed out to all my subs like it should, and now it has to go through the manual review process - which, as we all know, is entirely arbitrary, and if it fails the review then the upload is completely botched.
@TeamYouTube, PLEASE fix this process.3 replies 7 retweets 248 likesShow this thread -

Since you've requested for a manual review already, we'd request you wait for an email confirmation. For future videos, upload them as unlisted and request a manual review. Once the status is confirmed by manual review, it won't change again, then you can make it public.

Unfortunately, lots of problems with this response - 1.) I do upload my videos as unlisted, but I can't request a manual review if they never change to yellow. With today's video, it was unlisted and green for nearly a week and ONLY turned yellow after I published it.

2.) Saying that the status "won't change again" is patently untrue. I've had a number of videos that I put through the manual review process, got "confirmed" by that process, then shortly after publishing they either changed to yellow or even got age-restricted.

I understand the need for this process and I know that as a horror channel I'm going to have to work with it. I'm okay with that. But right now it feels like the manual review process is arbitrary and doesn't matter. Please make it so creators can both manually request a review..

...and so that after a video is "confirmed" by a manual review, it is unlikely for it to change back to yellow or get age-restricted all of a sudden. I'm happy to work within the confines of the rules you set forth but right now they're too ambiguous and arbitrary to navigate.
