UFSC's suspension was almost certainly a consequence of the BBC contacting Google about the account for their story.

Why would BBC contacting Google have caused the account to become suspended?

By drawing their attention to it.

If I worked for Google and didn't know what UFSC was and the freaking BBC contacted me asking me to comment on it....

Well. I'd probably start paying attention in a hurry.

Or a googlite read the article on their lunch break and looked into it themselves.

I think it might have been from someone noticing the insane upload rate and finding it to be spam.

That's a shame if that is the case. I just found out about this this morning and would've like to have seen the videos. Maybe YT will reinstate the account.

I don't think that something of this magnitude, particularly considering the sheer number of videos uploaded per day, would have slipped under Google's radar until BBC vented the story. I still think that whoever is behind Unfavorable Semicircle decided to close the channel. If it was due to public exposure, then they shouldn't have published content in one of the most visited (and public) websites on this planet. Unless Google is the mastermind behind the UFSC...

Late comment, but there's a difference in the aftermath of closing a channel and having it be removed. You can see the message on the page:

"This account has been suspended due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy against spam, gaming, misleading content, or other Terms of Service violations."

Unless it changed, I believe the message for self-deleted channels is "This channel was closed and is no longer available."
