Got a copyright strike for a meme I made about a city council meeting in Austin

Last Thursday I posted a silly edit of a local politician's face onto a cat and within 4 hours YouTube took it down. They said it violated their policy on harassment but it was literally just a joke about how slow they move on fixing potholes. I filed a counter claim but who knows if that will go anywhere. Has anyone else had a harmless local meme get flagged by the automated bots?

Did the bots mistake that cat for an act of ACTUAL political warfare?

Are bots out here flagging random cat photos as war propaganda now? What kind of algorithm can't tell the difference between a fluffy tabby and a political statement?
