"If Youtube does not allow cryptocurrency-related videos, then obviously they will change their terms and condition. But, then didn't change their terms and condition, yet. That's mean then allow cryptocurrency-related videos.
 Maybe they try to find out the scammers. Nowadays, lots of scammers create fake videos and illegally earned lots of money."

If this is real, that's very unfair of YouTube. But I don't think it's true since various contents can be found in YouTube and I don't think they'll specifically target cryptocurrency related videos. If ever YouTube will do that, they'll notify users and crypto channels of course. YT hasn't done any move against crypto so I doubt it. Maybe someone just reporting some crypto videos? That's more possible.
What wrong with bitcoin and cryptocurrency and not have allow by Youtube channel, there are many bad content upload in Youtube but keep allowed like violence tragedy but Youtube still available for every one earn money with their ads by promoting violence videos,
It leaves many crypto-related video/content maker hanging in a question "what could be the problem with crypto". Youtube already commented on this and stated it was a mistake from them removing contents related to cryptocurrencies. So what happened was just a wrong call but I'm very skeptical on their move, that was not an error made from  the platform, it was a decision regretted by the team of youtube. +

its not fair if Youtube want to try not allowed bitcoin and cryptocurreny promote in youtube.
Well it is definitely unfair from the side of content makers, however the problem has been resolve by reuploading the deleted videos.

YouTube should make an official statement about the ban on crypto video. I believe that if there is no statement, YouTube will receive negative criticism from many of its users.

Before the official statement, youtube should first state the reason why there is a need to ban and remove the videos related to cryptocurrency. They need to clarify if the content creators are violating some terms and agreement between youtube and them. In my opinion, the proper compensation for the deleted videos should be in return because of the loss in the side of the content creator which created the video.

Don't worry, I'm sure their machine learning is writing a statement and considering all of these factors  Grin

Most deleted videos have been restored by youtube, so they don't need to be compensated for anything. In my opinion it is possible that cryptocurrency videos violated new terms of youtube and these are unintended issues. So far everything has been normal and no videos have been deleted

Ohh ohhh! This don't look good at all, when you would think things are about to get interesting with crypto, suddenly something bad will be lurking around to strike, why is it now after so many years will YouTube start to flag crypto related videos,  we should be able to enter 2020 with positive vibes.
No official announcement yet but hopefully its not true because cryptomarket will hurt again. I watch crypto related videos in youtube most of the time and I for me its really helpful to those who wants to learn more about cryptocurrency. Youtube must make a good analysis on this one or else some videos site will have their opportunity to grow and beat youtube in the long run, its their loss for sure so we have nothing to fear and stat positive.

It could be that this is only rumors/bad news that was created by several communities that are in contradiction with cryptocurrency I guess. because I see up to now,  the content creators about crypto have no problems there is even a crypto influencer who does live streaming on youtube between Developer, expert analysis to discussing the development of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin price.
Nah if there's a blatant report of videos that sharing some phishing links or scam projects then most users will report it to them. It is the right of YouTube to handle those scammers sharing their scam links. One thing that I don't know yet is if YouTube might have deleted some legitimate crypto videos or vloggers videos. Then I think YouTube decided to remove any crypto related on their platform then.

Perhaps YouTube does not separate crypto scammers from the creators of legal crypto content. It’s easier to remove everything than doing research and cleaning (although it’s a shame for such a large platform)

I can't confirm that, whether YouTube is trying to ban content about crypto, or indeed they are wrongly targeted. because there is no official announcement from the youtube. it's just that, there are some videos that have been deleted. maybe youtube doesn't want to be part of a scam crypto promotion. because we know, at the moment, Crypto is largely a SCAM. so YouTube participated in eliminating it.

i do agree with youtube of deleting some videos which have malicious intent but not all. there are some videos that are for informational purposes only towards bitcoin and blockchain technology. they should not delete those videos. but its ok for me those videos who are promoting higher returns, passive income and the likes as they are potential scammers with ponzi schemes.
they should evaluate each and every video and not just deleting them whenever it mentioned crypto, btc or blockchain.

Some prominent cryptocurrency channels on Youtube have seen their videos removed today. It’s unclear how many major channels have been affected thus far, but three have been confirmed.

Could YouTube be cracking down on cryptocurrency-related videos? According to recent reports, such an operation is going on as we speak. Three prominent YouTube channels specializing in cryptocurrencies report that they have been subject to content-flagging today. The move was completely unexpected and has left many in the blockchain space wondering if this may be the beginning of a bigger operation.

Should I move away from YouTube?

I just don't know what to believe, but I honestly think that YouTube isn't gonna doing this by surprise. If they do flag YouTube videos about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, they should have updated their terms and conditions, and their rules about uploading content.

In the article, it also mentioned that there are a group of mass flaggers who might be behind this mess, especially for top crypto influencers out there. There are even cases that after appealing, YouTube reinstated their accounts because of false flagging.

What does this mean for crypto YouTubers like me? If I decide to move to another video sharing platform, I would prefer decentralised and censor-free type of platform.

What are your reactions to this one guys?

This is totally unfair, those videos are for more than 10 years and now they are just removing it saying that he just now follow the community guidelines? I don't think so. I also have a video about bitcoin but it is only 1 video and it is not become trending but if they will remove without any notice then that's not really fair but I think he can appeal from the decision of Youtube about his videos.

"YouTube admits bitcoin ban was a mistake" - Decrypt, 4 hours ago

The Internet giant says it cancelled everyone's crypto sites by accident last week and that all of them are back online. But checking YouTube says otherwise.

I'm not even Surprised! What I find funny is this stuff actually makes headlines... This has happened countless times with other channels on different niches... The story usually goes something like this > Youtube's AI messes up, lots of Channels get "striked"/get their videos removed for no reason. This is followed by twitter rants and wannabes journalists jump on these stories making all those Clickbaity articles for some "Ad money". Then after a week, everything gets resolved and we see the same outlets reporting stories like these... Oops it was a mistake, Oops it was a rogue bot. Oops that. We get it! We have seen it happening over and over again... Report on something useful! We know the damn routine! smdh...

Looks like Humans are saving the day again... give it a couple of days and the sun will be out again.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody
The list has become extensive, DataDash and others have made all their videos private in response:

Full list from yesterday, probably longer by now:

Some of them deserve it. Sunnydecree promoted bitconnect. He should get a permanent ban on his account for something like that. And that's not the only account involved in promoting scam altcoins. thecryptolark also did things like that. But as you can see you have people like thatmartiniguy on the list as well and he's on the other side of the fence exposing those shitcoin promoters. He also got videos removed so youtube is trying to silence everyone.

I think this is because of the users of youtube or the what we called youtubers that are making videos and content related to cryptocurrency that are trash so the youtube do an action to lessen it as soon as possible so youtube wants to eliminate those videos by flagging and removing it into the content.
Not necessary youtube don't want the bitcoin and cryptocurrency related videos it is just a matter of promoting or playing a scam and phishing projects or crypto related field. I want to know that this is not to down crypto related videos in youtube but to warned those person who are making trash videos under of it.
What kind of thinking is this? No offense meant. If youtube find some of the crypto-related videos then might as well they should also start hunting down fake and click bait videos. I think your guess isn't just right, if you noticed on the deleted videos, there are tons of negative feedback especially from those trader who just got hooked from youtube because of FALSE ADVERTISEMENT.

I don't think Youtube can really take this initiative on because it would really cause them a lot of users and money as well in the end. I would not move away from Youtube because they ban crypto related ads because i still visit there for some resourceful information. I think this is a great opportunity for any crypto project which is directed at creating a streaming platform like youtube for the crypto industry.

There are still many videos about cryptocurrency at youtube when I search for it. So it is possible that youtube will only delete videos that are scam, ponzi ... If so, I would highly recommend this job because it will limit a lot of scammer in this market. But if in the near future youtube deletes all cryptocurrency-related videos then I think this market is at an alarming level and we have to be careful because the market maybe bleeding.
