On December 26, YouTube issued a statement saying the platform had mistakenly removed hundreds of crypto-related videos this week.
However, many of the YouTubers affected by the ban have not yet restored their videos on the site.
Ivan on the Tech YouTube account, which has more than 210,000 subscribers, received a YouTube strike earlier this week. Since then, he has configured all his crypto-related videos as private as a precaution.
YouTuber Carl The Moon, on December 26, says that all his videos are still removed from the platform, and notes that he is not sure of the validity of the recent YouTube statement.
“This was the first time YouTube punished me and I received a warning. When you have a warning, you will receive a strike next time. After 3 attacks in 90 days, YouTube permanently removes your channel, "Carl said.
YouTube community guidelines do not address crypto
In accordance with YouTube’s community guidelines, content is automatically deleted if it violates the platform’s guidelines. This could include nudity or sexual content, harmful or harmful content, malicious content, violent or graphic content, harassment or cyberbullying, spam, scams and more.
While this may be the case, cryptographic YouTubers have expressed confusion about why their content is being removed, a point of concern that YouTube has failed to clarify.
We know that Alex Saunders YouTube channel, Nugget’s News, which has 64.6 thousand subscribers, has been banned due to "harmful or dangerous content."
Saunders published in the community of r / ethereum on Reddit 9 hours before the time of publication that he woke up at Christmas with a YouTube strike warning for posting "harmful or dangerous" content. After this, Saunders received another strike in a matter of hours, although he had not taken any action since the first warning.
Saunders also tweeted 11 hours before the time of publication: “with more than 100 videos removed and 2 attacks in 24 hours, I still haven't received an email from you. This is really scary. We have hired new staff. I have a wife and a baby to support. I can't solve the problem if I don't know what I've done or whom to contact? "
YouTube has not yet responded to the request for an update on the matter, as admitting that the content was deleted by mistake on December 24.
