On September 22nd, the official YouTube Blog published a post explaining that YouTube Heroes was a expansion of their "Trusted Flagger" program and revealed that all flagged content is reviewed by YouTube prior to removal: [5] [6] Answering thousands of questions in our help forum (available in English, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish). Given the success of the Trusted Flagger program, we want to do more to empower the people who contribute to YouTube in other ways. That’s why we’re introducing YouTube Heroes, a program designed to recognize and support the global community of people who consistently help make YouTube a better experience for everyone. These “Heroes” do this in big and small ways by adding captions & subtitles to videos, reporting videos that violate our community guidelines, or sharing their knowledge with others in our help forums. For example, at the beginning of the SkyDoesMinecraft animation, Sky was doing as if making his own video.

Interacting with other YouTube Music members and helping answer questions in our YouTubeMusic Help Community (available in English). The CaptainSparklez set includes the YouTuber himself, Jerry the Slime, a slime sword and a shield that has his logo on it. As part of this program, Trusted Flaggers receive access to a tool that allows for reporting multiple videos at the same time. Once content is flagged, our trained teams review them to determine whether to remove the flagged videos or not. Our Trusted Flaggers’ results around flagging content that violates our Community Guidelines speak for themselves: their reports are accurate over 90% of the time. This is three times more accurate than the average flagger.The animations appear on the Tube Heroes YouTube channel, and are sometimes reposted on the YouTubers' channels whom are in the video. Tube Heroes makes stop-motion and 3D animations. The professional stop-motion videos are made by Kenshen18, a LEGO animator who also supports the Tube Heroes company. The channel also reposts fan-made stop-motion animations. The 3D animations are made by the company itself, and use the real voices of the famous YouTubers to be in the video. 3D animations, however, take quite a bit to make, and so far, only two 3D animations are on the channel, which feature Sky and Captain Sparklez. The animations always feature the most famous YouTubers which Tube Heroes sponsors. In the beginning of each 3D animation, the YouTubers look different, as they are not in costumes, as they are in their real life form. However, the real life forms do not at all match their real life forms in real life. The AntVenom character set includes the YouTuber himself, a golden apple, a shield with a golden apple logo and a diamond sword.

The program is now available to a select group of contributors from across the globe who have histories of high quality community contributions. People who are interested in joining the program can express interest here and we will gradually admit other top contributors into the program. YouTube has always allowed people to report content they believe violates our Community Guidelines and we often hear questions about what happens to a video after you’ve flagged it. When a flag is received, the reported content is always reviewed by YouTube before being removed. We have internal teams from around the world who carefully evaluate reports 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, and these teams remove content that violates our policies or are careful to leave content up if it hasn’t crossed the line. On September 22nd, 2016, YouTuber H3h3productions uploaded a video titled "YouTube's New Program is Horrible," which denounced the mass flagging rewards in new program (shown below). Within 24 hours, the video gained over 930,000 views and 14,000 comments. That day, the OfficialNerdCubed YouTube channel uploaded a video suggesting that users can also flag videos as "protected" (shown below, right).On May 22nd, 2016, YouTube discreetly modified the original video, clarifying their original statements, without notifying anyone that they had changed the video to begin with. These changes notably included the rewording of certain parts, such as changing "Help Moderate Community Content"(below, top left) to "Help Moderate Content In The YouTube Heroes Community"(below, top right) and changing "Report Negative Content"(below, bottom left) to "Report innapropriate videos accurately"(below, bottom right). CavemanFilms comes in one set and that is the character set. The character set includes the YouTuber himself, a caveman's club, a dinosaur bone and a shield with his logo on it.
