Why are some Youtube videos deleted, while others are not?

On Youtube, there are many older movies available to watch. So I thought why not upload a few of my own to share with friends and family. But, within a few minutes of uploading my videos, they were taken down and my account was given a warning. Why is Youtube so hypocritical, allowing some Hollywood movies to stay up on site, but not others?

Your competition reported you for having similar videos. That's why their videos are still up and yours have been removed. Very ironic how Youtube doesn't make any real efforts to patrol the site and only responds to reported videos.

I agree with the above statement, but also keep in mind, if they suspect anything that could be seen as fake ( comments, followers/subscribers, etc), you will likely get banned.

Every social site is cracking down on anything that could be viewed as fake. Beware!

maybe your videos contain illegal content or it has violated some terms and conditions or maybe it contains fake viewers or suspicious things.

Youtube is a user driven site and that's also true of content moderation. While some content is automatically blocked from being uploaded, other content will bypass censors (or content moderating algorithms) and that content will only be found by users who report it. If you see a movie on site that belongs to someone else, you can report it, otherwise it will likely stay up for a long time.

All websites have their own policies and a set of policy is imperative for social media network or forums because it involves people who are strangers. Youtube is a social media network that is a depository of videos. It is open to anyone and the rules are made to protect their site. When you upload a video that does not conform to the rules then it will surely be deleted. One bad video is pornographic video and another is a video with full of violence.
