I'm not that affected since I am not a video creator on Youtube and I seldom watch videos there but I felt bad for those creators who probably panicked why that happened. Anyway, it is a good thing that they have apologized for the "error" as some would probably just get on without any explanation. I hope everyone's videos will be restored too.

Despite the apologies, I still think bitcoin video enthusiasts should migrate to decentralised video hosting sites like D tube: https://d.tube/

I do agree despite the popularity of Youtube.
About the error though.
I don't think that is really the case here.
There might be some agenda behind this and they are already trying it out.
It is easy to reason out since people will still use their service and it will just be forgotten.
I do not believe in the error theory either, to me this seemed like an attempt to censor those channels and see if they could get away with it, when they found out they could not sweep this under the rug they decided to back down and make it seem like a mistake and apologize about it, I have no doubts this will happen again until they finally can get away with it, so the advice to store that content in other video hosting sites seems like a great idea from my point of view.

Very likely, they were simply "testing waters". They only stopped for now probably because of the public outcry. But all they need is some excuse, like some law/regulation and they will do it again, and i'm sure they will.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. When you upload content to youtube, they are in charge.

There is nothing to worry about this deletion. YouTube has not deleted all videos related to crypto rather they were around 250 videos. Site https://d.tube is no way a match to YouTube. Just go and search for videos and you will have idea of what that is.

After many issue and talk, at least youtube admitted their fault to end the discussion. I feel bad for those who own the channels that was affected by their mistake because I think it's a must to watch some crypto videos when learning about crypto. That's an easier way to learn and if youtube would just deleted everything, how about those people who wants to learn? I just hope that youtube team will fix this kind of problem not to happen again.

What happens to those channels anyway? Would youtube restore them along with their subscribers? They did admit it was an error right? Though never believed it will have an effect in the crypto industry. It's just too bad if some channels will lose the fruits of their work because of youtube's error.
even though YouTube has admitted its mistakes, but we must really continue to pay attention to them, the goal is to keep the crypto channel growing. because of this hopefully there are no more people who are losers, if there are still people who are harmed then we must voice each other and help him

YouTube has reinstated hundreds of crypto-currency related channels after admitting it had removed them "in error".

A wave of YouTubers received notifications that their videos were in breach of the platform's terms of service earlier this week.

The move appeared to target smaller channels and publishers that focused on Bitcoin and crypto-currency content.

The Google-owned video sharing platform has since apologised for the mistake.

YouTube said in a statement that it had "made the wrong call" and confirmed that any content mistakenly removed would be restored.

"With the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make the wrong call," it said.

"When it's brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it."

It said there had been no changes to its polices, and insisted there would be "no penalty" to any channels that were affected by the incident.

Well on dtube the only way to get paid is with the dtube shitcoins which is no where near as much as on youtube. This is due to a fact that different companies can advertise on family friendly content and that is why youtube became so big over the years. As the nature of dtube is that it is decentralized, the same results are impossible to achieve. Decentralization is not a solution to every problem in the world, remember that.

But atleast they still make room for those bitcoin advertisements that will still help promote bitcoin. I'm certain that Youtube are sincere about what they've done in bitcoin videos because they know that cryptocurrency will also help them in marketing. That's the importance of bitcoin it can help some platforms or maybe country in enhancing its economic state.

Companies have their own way on how they will improve their service and I think that they really feel sorry about what happen. But you know, Youtube will really help promote bitcoin by just using those videos. D tube is no match in Youtube when it comes to advertisement.

We all know that Youtube is a very large platform. We should not under estimate the most used multimedia website just because it mistakenly shutdown bitcoin. Decentralized??? That isn't helpful.

Thank God youtube had admitted their error in deleting cryptocurrencies related video content when I read those stories I was Little bit worried on the consequences and the way that sole action is going to portray the image of bitcoin and other crytocurrencies in wake of already battered image of bitcoin in some countries, I believed their Backend Administrator should put their heads together to prevent future occurrence of this latest unfortunate development and they effect its going to have on their teeming viewers especially cryptos enthusiasts.

Yeah, that's YT for you. More and more content creators have problems due to the unpredictability of the algorithms.

I am glad this story and misunderstanding was all sort out.

The thing is as YouTube is a professional company that shows how much lack of professionalism the team is missing.
They could have tested the software (a.k.a. their bot) before implementing it and putting it to an active state on the platform.

Nevertheless who knows if they actually did that by mistake or find it hard to accept all those complains and had to revert the situation.
maybe they made a mistake on a system that was made, and certainly when a system like BOT must have flaws. if indeed a mistake was made then they also do the wise way also because they apologize for the mistakes made. the most important thing for me crypto is still on YouTube and can provide benefits to the people in it

in filtering videos they certainly have difficulties, if they do it independently then there will be difficulties of course. but I think with the recognition that they do they will further enhance the ways to organize for the future because in fact the video fraud must indeed be eliminated to keep the fraud in the name of crypto.

It seems like they need to manage it properly to avoid that error again. As they said they need a team to focus on it and definitely they can secure it this time. Hopefully there are clear arrangements on this as bitcoin payments are part of online payments and digital platform activities.

That error was pretty much specific only to bitcoin influencers dont you think ? someone could be pulling the strings thinking they could bring down crypto by this kinds of attack,
but anyway if youtube says its an error then maybe it is,  we dont actually know how their algorithm works and if someday if youtube gets monetized and strict we should consider finding other sources than youtube right now.

Google made a real shitty move by deleting all those crypto channels on Christmas day. Whoever was behind this decision probably thought the price would tank but it didn't. It held firm, because crypto doesn't need YT or Google.

In a few years Google will be yesterday's tech. They're already starting to crumble. They can't make any money from Youtube, all their products seem to fail. Loot at Stadia, Google Office. another faied product. They make no money from these products. Google still makes over 90% of their revenue from ad words. But people are finally getting wise to their spying and intrusions into their privacy, not to mention their censorship.

They hate crypto because crypto scares the shit out of them, as do decentralized apps which they cannot control or ban at a whim. Google want to be a bank now. That's probably part of the reason for their anti-crypto stance. Let them be a bank. They'll probably fail at that too.

As a youtube user, I was a little surprised by what happened yesterday. YouTube has made an apology and we already know the reason. So in the future we also need to be careful in creating crypto content on YouTube. Try that the content that we create does not contain speculation that can harm many people. And we also shouldn't spread links without shortening them first. Use a URL Shortener website such as https://bitly.com/ when it spreads both descriptive and commented links.

I agree having to take more responsibility with crypto content, but YT (Google, for that matter) haven't surprised me at all. It's a humongous corporation dependent on money therefore political and financial spheres as well
