I’ve noticed these “click to appeal” links (on YouTube, and other places) always have a near instantaneous turn around time, and they always rejected. Conspiracy me, suspects that all appeals are rejected by rule, to scare people from appealing further, and only these much fewer second appeals are actually reviewed.


It's not like that sort of thing is some new social media/tech innovation. I remember being hearing or reading if you're turned down for SSDI, you've got to keep appealing, because there are metrics being used where they can't approve more than a certain percentage initially.


I'm thinking that they know everyone will appeal, but by threatening them on second appeal, you thin it out to people that actually think they have a case.

Still, it's obviously a bullshit process.


I suspect all appeals are rejected and only get reviewed if the channel has enough pull to smack Google on social media.
