Although I'm neither advocating or endorsing anyone flagging/reporting Jer's videos on YT, let's be real, at least 1 person out in the world probably has at this point, recently (there probably were a bunch of leftists flagging him back in the day too, but they've probably moved on out of frustration)
What I believe is happening is not necessarily intervention-based favoritism (with the exception of banning Warski as a pretense to ban the clips) but rather that Jer's contact regularly coaches him on what does and does not cross the lines. Their lines are not ironclad and are frequently chaotic, but having someone on the inside who is telling you specifically where the barrier is allows you to skirt around a lot of it, especially if it's someone who knows how their automated systems work and who has been told how to fuck with them.
For example, his shorts. They are clearly content theft, and the guidelines say that's a no-go. But literally because he does put his shitty intros in the front, slaps his watermark over them, and I have a strong feeling that he runs the videos themselves through a filter/codec/etc that inserts random artifacts or distortions into the videos he's stolen, they don't trip youtube's automatic content detection. Think of all those copyrighted movies that are available on the platform with a weird audio signal in the lower registers or that are cropped to fit on a TV or something - those are overt ways to spoof the system. Youtube's working definition of "fair use" is also extremely fucking retarded, and Jer probably actually can argue that his shitty three seconds, watermark, and pre-recorded reaction are 'transformative' because they're so flimsy. It's a tremendous problem that affects shorts more than long-form content, but it's a scourge of both. Jer's contact can tell him exactly where the line is.
You can't convince me that the phrase 'black fatigue' is not on an internal document in Google somewhere, flagged for being associated with white supremacy, any more than you can convince me that the phrase, completely by itself, violates YT's standards on hate speech.
Once it's on that list, he'll probably change the name. But that he's using it tells me that he's been told that this won't trigger their shit. Youtube only cares about adhering to hate-speech shit in so far as they feel comfortable that they won't get sued, and so even extremely obvious phrases like that don't really go anywhere.
Part of it is that when you search "black fatigue," you find a lot of videos talking about the phrase itself, what it means, or videos by black creators saying they've got it. All of those wouldn't be hate-speech. While Jer could say that he's "using it educationally" (because he's a snake), more likely what I think is happening is that someone reports his video for hate-speech, the bot scans it, and doesn't find any of the specific words and phrases that trigger it. The bot doesn't consider context like how white he is; it's just looking for shit that has been categorically declared: hate speech. And this, apparently, ain't it.
Now if a human ever looked at this video, I wouldn't be surprised if they demonetized it. But short of a concentrated flagging campaign, or knowing exactly what will make the bot hit with 100% accuracy, I think these reports will never get to an actual human.
