Since, it's under Google and Google ads has already stopped with cryptocurrency ads. Now it's being followed by YouTube as well as YouTube is an easy and a profitable medium of advertisement. Videos are anyday more attractive than plain ads. Just like other social media companies like Facebook and Twitter which already have curbed cryptocurrency advertisement, I am guessing that YouTube has too done it because of the increasing scam.
People advertise their scam ICOs through these social media platform at negligible cost and many people fall for such stupidity.
Topic: Why YouTube Bans Bitcoin &Crypto Videos? - page 4. (Read 823 times)
well now that it happened i guess all are again fair in the youtube crypto influencers, this might just be a good time for me to create youtube videos related to blockchain and present myself as social media influencer to get a high paying job from crypto teams who needs advertising.
lucky for andreas antonopolos his videos weren't deleted, maybe because this speaker does a good job explaining details in AMAs.
Surely they are aware of what is happening in the cryptocurrency community I think they are planning to ban this kind of videos since they are getting a lot of reports but for me it is not a good thing because they already deleted a whole channel for just a single restriction like this for me it is unfair for the owner of the channels.
Hello Community; as you know from the last 3 days the social media is full of this topic. What’s your opinion on it? What’s the main reason behind it?
Guys, till now I am confused but I added all of my probabilities. End of the day, I am scared. Because, I have learned so many things by watching YouTube crypto videos. I can’t imagine a single day without watching my favorite’s cannel.

could you show us a couple of videos that were good and removed?
i ask this because i don't really follow any Youtube channels but i occasionally watch some stuff and ever since this news came out i re-visited most of them and they are still there.
so my guess is that they are only purging the garbage such as videos trying to gain views by pretending to do TA for bitcoin or those talking about altcoin prices and try to pump the shitcoins they bag hold,... removing these videos is an excellent decision.
I would also like to know this. I have had a youtube account for over 10 years and have never had a problem and I am very vocal and very raw and direct. Never a single strike nor warning as it should be. I have not known youtube to be this way. It sounds very odd to me since youtube it pretty liberal and free. Youtube is the place to go for learning videos. Censorship is something I find difficult for me to believe since youtube really doesn't seem to support censorship and as far as I have experienced it's not censored at all. (obviously clear abuse cases are)
Youtube is not what it used to be. It has killed and still kills a lot of genuine content creators. YT is turning into TV money making machine and long term they will get burned for that.

Most youtubers, basically all of them are paid shills and also abusing referals senting their audiences in scam exchanges and making them lose money.
I hope they get banned all of them as they promoted scams, shitcoins, shady schemes and got paid a lot for it.
They are not even entertaining and their live chat rooms are full of ridiculous paid shills talking about ridiculous coins they were so stupid and blind to invest in. Probably paid youtube services of bots or total retards that only irritate rational viewers.
Perhaps only Chris Dunn is an exception but he also made a paid video lately while in the past he said he didn't need to do any.
I hope they ban them as they were useless and diverting people into scams.

As far as I know the system is being abused by a group of individuals who are coordinating "flagging" actions so specific videos and channels get "banned" and hidden from public sight at least temporary. I don't know what are the benefits of this group caused by these actions.
I think this is a great chance for some decentralized social media platforms to win over this situation, take full advantage of it and push all of those YouTube lovers to come to their platforms and watch those videos there by giving some rewards for the same. Like Brave gives us BAT tokens to surf in the browser, there are platforms which got covered by the dirt of Finance by having their tokens devalued since the 2018-19 disaster. Now it is the time for them to take the show in their hands and turn the tables for their projects.
They banned cryptocurrency-related videos but I could still watch some cryptocurrency-related advertisements on youtube like etoro?
Maybe youtube is getting a lot of report about these creators I don't think this videos should be removed since they are creators they are discussing things about cryptocurrency and not particularly promoting a cryptocurrency projects that is a scam project, I could easily understand if they are just having a safety measure buy blocking scam projects but this is videos from youtube creators. Maybe youtube now hates cryptocurrency.

Whatever it might be, I think it's an isolated case, or probably a coordinated attack. It might be personal, or is related to hate on cryptocurrencies. Either way, I don't think Google has switched sides already. And I don't think they'd censor cryptocurrencies either. I also don't think they are on a crackdown on cryptocurrencies, and that it's only limited to a few.
They did this on the second quarter of 2018 too, IIRC, and Google also shut down some ads relating to cryptocurrency services as well hinting that they dislike the exposure cryptocurrencies are getting within their own platforms. If I remember, they haven't fully banned crypto-related ads and videos in YouTube on 2018 but just on Google ads. But right now it seems that they are cracking down on cryptocurrencies yet again without any definite nor possible reason. Google has been acting weird, and makes me think that they might be on to something crypto-related on their own.
It's not only crypto that is being purged. A lot of political extremists got their channels deleted or at least received warnings. This is connected to the changes of Youtube TOS according to which if you attack other people in your videos you can get a community strike. Many crypto youtubers used to talk about crypto scams like those guys who promoted bitconnect, but many others criticized and exposed these scams and also got those videos deleted.
Youtube doesn't want free speech. They don't want you to criticize or expose other people, they don't want you to dox. You are to be a silent audience that devours information they're feeding you. Time for some decentralized free media to take over!

This is what happens when you are using a centralized platform.
That's certainly true, but everyone should have known about the possibilities before this and everyone knew Youtube is run by Google and that Google can do whatever it wants. It isn't clear to me to what extent the video deletion is happening or why they're doing it. It's a really bad move on Youtube's part if this is some kind of crypto-wide video ban, because they're already becoming the big bad censor that everyone hates now. I'm sure if Google had its way, it would be only mainstream media outlets who could post content on their site. I don't think they care to host videos for people who don't draw in big revenue for them.
Screw Youtube. Even if they didn't remove every single crypto video on their site, screw them.
I’m not sure Yt would reconsider their stance once they decide to ban certain video contents, it’s interesting every major sites would always certainly unfavoring bitcoin, the steorerotype is strong among them.
I believe they are under pressure from the government and have to change their terms, from which they must ban all cryptocurrency-related videos and videos about ICO projects. With the current situation, I think Youtube will continue to delete more channels and videos in the near future until everything becomes clean.
Because YouTube can not decide on the limits of what is allowed on its site. Because there are big fish who do not like to lose their money due to the fact that more and more people are beginning to delve into crypto and blockchain systems.
It's not just cryptocurrency videos, but they are apparently also not monetizing many political videos as well. They are adopting some more strict guidelines for some reason.
I don't know what's really happening of this is true. But creators should message or email YouTube to ask them why they have to remove some crypto videos. YouTube will probably answer that. We still have no announcement from YouTube itself so it's hard to say why they are doing that. I just think they should have contacted them before posting something on their other social medias for more clarifications
I try to search information about this, but the information just came from crypto currencies blog/site related. I don't find any source from big news sites such as Forbes, Techcrunch or any technology news portal. I think this news just another FUD. I checked few YouTube channels that create ICO/IEO reviews, all of video from channel is accessible, are you sure it's not because government authorities limited crypto video's in your country?
