Youtube AI filter making it dangerous to watch for people with Epilepsy due to a bug (www.youtube.com)

There is a bug in Youtube's AI filter that is causing some videos to flicker. The content creator have no idea that is happening and no way to opt out. If you have Epilepsy it is recommended that you watch out for these situations

Also as content creators dont know this may be happening, if you find these issues you should try to contact the respective content creator and let them know this is happening on your specific device. Again, its so random it may only happen on some devices

Well said.

Did they ever give any reason why they even consider it an acceptable thing to do?

Imagine making an art piece to be displayed in a museum only to find they allowed an interim with next to zero experience to paint over it.

Not that I'm aware of, unfortunately. They seem to be trying to pretend they aren't even doing it, so telling us why they obviously are modifying content doesn't seem likely until they're backed in to a corner by popular outrage.
