I'm going to leave this video in place as a reminder of the growing pains of a new media industry. YouTube gets a massive amount of new video content continuously. Too much to have mere humans monitor in real time, so they use an automated system. Because the rules are changing so fast the system does occasionally blip. In the case of science and engineering channels it's not uncommon for a video to inadvertently get flagged as dangerous or controversial because of it's subject matter being similar to that used in malicious videos.
In Cody's case he had two videos flagged in quick succession which put his channel at risk of being locked or terminated. When you depend on your channel as part of your income it's a terrible feeling when you have no real control of a situation that could potentially result in complete loss of that security.
All technology and science YouTubers have had random videos subjected to demonetisation, and while it's disappointing when you've done a lot of work researching and presenting a video for effectively no reward, you just get used to it as being collateral damage associated with our area. I still put up videos that I know are at high risk of demonetisation because their randomness and sometimes risque nature makes YouTube more fun.
The text down below is the original description of this video when things went a bit scary for Cody.
Cody explains what's happening himself in this video from his new backup channel.:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXT5T9MH7cI
Those of us who follow Cody's Lab know it's one of the best hands-on science channels on the Internet. Despite having over a million subscribers Cody has fallen foul of the same issues that are affecting all the serious technical and scientific channels on YouTube.
He's currently got two strikes on his channel for videos that absolutely do not deserve them, and at this point in time he can't upload new content. In a worst case scenario his channel may be shut down.
If you love hands-on science then definitely subscribe to his original channel, but make sure you subscribe to the backup channel too:-

comment for algo
One of my chemistry video was deleted by Youtube with a warning. It was about chloroform production. I explained to them that this is a chemistry channel, but these retards don't get it.
…aaaaand they're still screwing Cody around almost a year later. And now his brand new Vimeo account has been suspended too.
It's seems that youtube content strikes operate on the same principal as the Tax Office.
You can skate along under the radar for years but once they notice you, you're pretty much fucked.
Poor Cody. I have no idea what it is about his content that keeps bringing up red flags, especially given the amount of support and engagement he gets on Every Single Video, but he just seems to keep getting nailed by these bullshit policies.
Dam – I've mostly stayed away from youtube lately and one of the first things I click on is this – guess the internet is still a shitty place (except for you guys of course). Glad he got it sorted.
his channel has been taken down again.

The 'Science' of ''an automated system' – What next?
Supporting People, bet that's not figured in – yet. Really Nice work here Clive.
thanks
u and cody should do a co video…your both on my top 5 youtubers

I ❤ Cody and his lab.
nice one big yin
It's nice to see my favorite youtubers supporting each other.
Good on you for supporting Cody with his youtube issues.
Well done and thank you Big Clive!
What this world needs is more inventive, inspiring folk out there, linking people to the world, and attempting to remove some of the mystery and layers of abstraction which keeps the hoi polloi in the dark, cutting us off at the roots. Yes, we all still need skateboarding dogs from time to time, but come on YouTube, check yourself before your break yourself. Have more people checking on the robots, and weed-out the serial neigh sayers and party poopers.
Cody, clive, vsauce, king of random, slow mo guys, and all you other inspirational video makers out there, more power to your elbow!
Two hours to upload a video? OMG! Cody, your next project is fibre optic cable 😉 (or move to the UK)
Cody's channel is so good, definitely worth checking out, thank you Clive for the support
