Problem with restricted videos on youtube

First, I agree with youtube that hatefull, hurtful, bad language, and bad content should be labeled RESTRICTED on youtube. That means when you have the restricted button on in your settings or if your work has RESTRICTED on the internet filter, you can't see those bad videos. I am a teacher and dad and understand, and I want this.

But, I make family oriented videos. And a lot of my videos are now restricted on youtube.
For example, I made a gopro video of wasps attacking my camera, or I filmed a nature show of capturing toads in Colombia, and even a hunting video. None of my videos have bad words, or made or done in a harmful way. But someone at youtube is labeling them Restricted, so that means i am not able to reach a larger audience if I want to make money on them.
Anyone else with this problem?
If you have youtube, go to the bottom of the screen and click on RESTRICTED mode to turn it on, then see what videos you can play. Try then searching for your videos and playing them. You might be surprised to see some don't show up.

How can we change or petition to see if we can changed our videos if we truly believe they are family and kid oriented.
I mean really, I have a video of a parade and another video of my 6 year old daughter on a horse....RESTRICTED

Has something changed in the settings?

I've had one of my videos taken down due to 'nudity'... there was no more 'nudity' than can be found in the Sistine Chapel Ceiling... but it apparently tweaked some moral prude's nose...

Since then I've not paid much attention to Youtube, and only on rare occasions uploaded a clip.

Since Youtube hasn't disappeared, apparently most users and viewers are ok with the draconian style of censorship...

I now have a beef with Vimeo. In a breaking news item, vidoes with titles that include the word 'pixel/pixels' have been taken down due to DCA complaint, without regard to whether they actually do infringe on Columbia's recently released film 'Pixels'(2015).

In the US, titles, and 'words' or 'short phrases' can not be copyrighted, and while there exists Trademarks, which can place restrictions on 'words' or phrases, or made up words, etc. there are much narrower definitions of infringement than just general usage.
