Response from YouTube
According to YouTube, there are no policies that ban robot fighting and it is much likely an error. According to YouTube, the videos removed were most likely due to an error in its algorithm. With so many massive videos on YouTube, sometimes it becomes difficult to manage all and it ends up with a failure in the detection of its rules. Whenever any issue of video removal comes in the attention of YouTube, the team quickly tries to reinstate that. The new policy of YouTube also offers the uploaders ability to appeal to the removal of content and the team of YouTube re-reviews the content and relaunches it accordingly.Bottom Line
This new issue faced by YouTubers is a major defect but we guess that it is just an error in the algorithm of YouTube. The video streaming platform is known for its active response to clear issues so we are expecting YouTube to clear it all up soon.
