okay I am not a vidder so please realize this is a very outsider point of view.
However the issue you are pointing out (miswarned videos) looks a bit like vidders not necessarily knowing what to look out for or the criterion on where for example when it is strong enough to warn.
I think some warning is better then none as long as audience is also aware that the warnings might not be all inclusive until we figure out a more foolproof way to do this. To make it better what about a guideline about warning that shows common trigger examples: maybe vid parts that show both milder and more extreme forms of it to give vidders visual examples to rely on. Would it be realistic to build such a resource? Would it help?
What about even a list of common things to warn and lookout for. Just master list of warnings (not necessarily inclusive but a guideline). This would help vidders who decided to warn to not to accidentally skip over something they might have forgotten or not aware of.
Just my two cents (and I apologize if these resources already exist or the reason why this cannot happen has been explained elsewhere).

Thank you for bringing this up.
