just because a couple were removed doesn’t mean they were removed because of that….
if thousands of videos exist like that, they’re clearly not removing all videos like that.
There isn’t a claim being made that all videos showing circumvention of the Microsoft account requirement for Windows 11 installation are being taken down. Only some of them. You saying “people will just believe anything that fits their worldview” sounds like you’re asserting that no takedowns are occurring. Thank you for clarifying that this is not actually your position.
The likelihood is that that this is being done automatically by youtube’s AI, rather than because of requests by Microsoft. I think the real problem illustrated here is the lack of transparency when Youtube issues a takedown. An initial glance at Youtube’s Community Guidelines doesn’t seem to indicate a criterion by which a takedown would be automatically issued for such content, but I wonder if they’re starting to automatically flag anything that might be considered circumvention guides. I had a private video taken down that I was sharing with a friend to show them how to use yt-dlp to extract audio from youtube videos and was given the same reason “harmful or dangerous content”, which it clearly was not, but they’re reluctant to explicitly say that they’re removing videos that illustrate circumvention techniques. Yet another reason to stop using Youtube.
i find no reason to believe that they’re being taken down just for that or it’s happening widely… we just have one youtube channel saying their video was taken down because of that….
that sounds to me like trolls reporting them until it was taken down, people lying for clout, or it was taken down’s for some other reason.

there is no claim, it’s a link to a comment section that’s a link to another comment section
The title is the claim: “YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs”
i refute the claim
The claim is that some (not all) videos showing nonstandard Windows 11 installs have been taken down by YouTube. Are you refuting that?
