Bluoz is known in part for his documented "Crackhead of the Day" footage he takes from his MidMarket apartment. YouTube recently removed one of his videos, a six-year-old flick that shows a gaggle of crack aficionados smoking up, claiming that the blogger's video doesn't live up to YouTube's strict "community guidelines."

He writes: "YouTube is essentially saying that I am harassing crackheads by taking videos of them in the MidMarket neighborhood of San Francisco. By this logic, taking ANY video on a public street in MidMarket would be considered harassment." He goes on to suggest that somebody might not want you to see the gritty truth about the area, saying, "it could very well be politically motivated since according to mayor Ed Lee, Mid Market is set for a total resurgence."

This isn't the first instance where YouTube has deemed a "People Behaving Badly"-esque (h/t Stanley Roberts) video unsuitable for public consumption. They also pulled friend of SFist Jack Shamama's darling video of wasted-in-public Gay Pride revelers earlier this year. And yet?
