Case in point, when youtube buried one of Caitlin Doughty's documentaries from Ask a Mortician.

The video in question: The Forgotten Disaster of the SS Eastland. It's 43 minutes long, both well done, and respectfully done. Her team did a good job on it then some youtube automated system buried it for "violating community guidelines".
