The reasons for removal
The post it self: Not an X link, and the post had the video's description to inform on the topic. The YT Channel in question. The video in question.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless Mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

MODERATORS
Oops, sorry. I should have reviewed the rest of your post. It seems obvious that the first part of the alleged reason is wrong.
Maybe any of the mods could clarify it.
I'm not familiar with this post, and unfortunately I don't think I received any reports for it since I'm from another instance. Best would be to hear from one of the other mods
I do see that there is an X/twitter link in the quoted body of the post, which might be the cause of that part of the message. As for the video, !videos@lemmy.world had a similar discussion recently on what to do about clickbait titles for videos. It's a hard one to deal with. As Lemmy grows, I can see it becoming a bigger problem and requiring stricter rules.
So to me it looks like the content is on topic, but it's a case of quality control
The video is pretty good (the whole channel is something I think the com would like). Still do you feel it would be better for me to change the title to one that is descriptive or keep the title as OP made (likely trying to game the algo)
I feel that I shouldn't make the final call for moderation in this community since I'm here more as support/spam removal, so I'd go with whatever the other mods decide.
In most other communities, when I'm posting something potentially clickbait-y, I prefer to edit the title and then make it clear that I edited it, either with square brackets or by mentioning the edit in the post body. I might also add why I'm sharing something if it's not clear (ex. that the analysis is good, or the channel is something the community would like). That seems to reduce the chance of complaints/reports/mod actions.
The main exception being the communities that are strict about requiring the original title (ex. News communities mostly)
