Despite the apologies, I still think bitcoin video enthusiasts should migrate to decentralised video hosting sites like D tube: https://d.tube/
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 don't think that it is an automatically banned thing but still youtube was called it a mistake and going to fix it soon.Quote
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.

I think this statement was already enough to fix all the problems of all of the deleted and blocked videos of the cryptocurrency content creators from youtube.
Youtube has already accepted the error. However, there are few who believe that this is a mistake. I think they checked the market. The price of Bitcoin gained resistance to some explanations. Let's give an example. China has banned Bitcoin. India banned Bitcoin. The FED will issue bitcoin approval. Google again banned bitcoin ads. Many news such as these should not affect the price. The effects were reduced.
Decentralized is good but you cant stop people not to use up the largest network when it comes to video sharing and monetizing yet we know on how big it is when it comes to network/users.
Decentralization sucks when it comes to social media platforms that need to process extremely large video files. It's people who keep talking about how important decentralized youtube alternatives are, but they work like crap and are extremely costly to scale to any useable scale. Not in a thousands years will they even remotely challenge youtube. It's nothing but a crypto coiner's wet dream.Sad but true. Decentralized alternatives to Facebook and Twitter have met the same fate.
Interestingly, Jack Dorsey is pushing the idea of an open-source decentralized standard for social media, and he claims that Twitter will eventually adopt it. I'll believe it when I see it.
I still doubt their decision even though they said they would restore those deleted/affected crypto related videos. It's more likely a test to them which somehow an authority is involved again. Well, this is just my opinion a baseless opinion. 
but nonetheless the most important thing is they didn't wipe out every crypto related videos.
Sometimes we all make mistakes but most importantly we apologize after what we've done. Although the damage has been done it's already a lesson to everyone.

Thank you for the link https://d.tube/ Really nice and it is fairly popular and supported by its own coin and best of all its fully decentralized to fully uncensored just the ways things should be.
I guess it was some sort of bot I don't know, I guess we will never know. At least they said sorry though. Facebook wouldn't have the decency to apologise. So at least give them credit for that. I hope all the videos get reinstated asap since this is quite worrying for me to see.

I've saw a meme just a minute ago, and I couldn't find it right now, so I just want to share it in relation to the topic, since youtube claimed that there is an error in their system that results to the deletion of the cryptocurrency-related contents from some youtubers, there is a spike of news regarding XRP getting 1500dollar in the near future. And for us, this is an example of a market manipulation because we all know that XRP isn't that decentralized and it could result to being biased on the side of youtube.
Still up to supporters and listeners if they will believe with such news. Market manipulations already exist since then and if ever someone creates such news we can't avoid that there's people who are going to buy those news and create fomos. YouTube don't have any relations with such ideas even they've admits this mistakes it's investors obligations to take care of their money.

Maybe it could be a mistake. I just thought that maybe the reason why YouTube started to delete some of those crypto related videos in their site because there are a lot of scam projects that was advertise in YouTube. Good thing that YouTube approves that all of those was just a mistake because other people assumes that every crypto content and advertise social media sites like twitter and facebook would be the next.

My guess is that they unleashed some algorithm that was meant to take down the crypto investment advice videos, but for some reason it has nuked the whole channels - maybe there's some sort of autoban which removes all videos from a channel if it already removed a lot of videos from it.
Also, you say "Bitcoin video purge" in the title, but the article says "cryptocurrency videos", and it's a really big difference, cause as far as I'm aware, educational Bitcoin videos weren't removed.
Yes such as shilling projects turning out to be projects which scam people out of their cryptocurrency.Also, you say "Bitcoin video purge" in the title, but the article says "cryptocurrency videos", and it's a really big difference, cause as far as I'm aware, educational Bitcoin videos weren't removed.
I was under the impression it was due to Plus token, Cloudtoken and HEX coin coming out of the woodwork as scams defrauding millions from its customers.

It's either a good call from them or they have a hidden agenda lol. Because Google company which heads YouTube is still under the anti crypto US government and hence I believe it will still not be wise to trust them.
I agree with you that's a good initiative,but it's not good enough to convince Youtubers to migrate. Youtube makes a good living for most decent popular Youtubers thanks to ads,decentralized platforms like D Tube can never earn you good money like Youtube.At most,you can earn 40% what you earn in Youtube and this without even taking n consideration the volatility of the crypto market and therefore even those earnings aren't guaranteed.People should understand that being Youtuber nowadays ia a job,if you want to replace Youtube,you should offer the same guaranteed earnings or bigger,otherwise it's not worth the risk.
Actually you can earn much more on D Tube than on Youtube, because you get paid in Steem from people upvoting your content (the steem allocated is basically what's being mined in the seven day period the video is up).
Whereas Google pays a few cents to a few lucky people who manage to get people not to skip their ad.
I bet this might have caused quite a stir up within the cryptocurrency related content creator community within youtube. I would be be madder than a hornet if they not only demonitized my content but remove it as well? I hear that it was a sweep removal of all things crypto related, including the educational channels, not just the those offering investment advice.
This seems like good news that they were able to acknowledge their fault and correct the mistake without much hassle. I thought it was a sweep stemming from regulatory uncertainty, due to the legal guidance being sparse. An alternative platform maybe be needed as a backup for future reference.

Like what I have been said from my past posts or comment, YouTube and the people who are controlling behind it that sometimes they are making some wrong moves and it is normal because not all people are always making good and doesn't know how to makes wrong so it is like on youtube that it is not perfect in which they make some mistakes sometimes, but the best part of it is the YouTube admits that it is their fault so that they will be able to recover those videos that they deleted who are videos that are related to cryptocurrency or bitcoin. Bitcoin video purge must end right now and that was what happen right now which is good yhst youtube knows their mistakes.
so all of those removals were only a mistake on the youtube's side ? thats good and whats more gooder is that they admit it and they appolized on public . i think cryptoer's should be fine now and not to worry that much about thier remaining videos and also on the videos that they will be uploaded in the future . its also nice to hear that they are now decentralized video sharing sites posted on the op . its a good alternative to try for the starters if they are about to make crypto related videos .
But strangely, why only content that discusses bitcoin or cryptocurrency is deleted, why is there no other content if it's really pure error? this is still a big question mark. I suspect that there will be a new policy from YouTube, they might not tamper with keywords about crypto without any specific purpose, this is suspicious. I hope it will be alright.

It's nothing but a crypto coiner's wet dream.Mistakes do happen and its good that Youtube do give a word that its an error on their side that do made out this incident.
Every single company will blame an error or a bug instead of pointing at their own policies/terms that caused this to occur. I still don't know what exactly happened, and we will probably never find out, but it just shows how weak this ecosystem really is in terms of social media traction. In such a short period of time crypto youtube was silenced. That's dangerous.Content creators put their everything into their content and it was taken down as if it was nothing.
That error is quite suspicious, and that explanation could be suspicious to some crypto-enthusiast, since it took some time returning the content back, and based on the recent news, Google Play Store has removed 2 apps on their platform just recently with relation to cryptocurrencies. It's either another error, an organized attack, or intentional censorship by Google.
That is refreshing but there is a problem.
The damage had already been done. So the question. How are they going to fix the damage?
Are they making some kind of a move to clear it all to their subscribers?
I bet they wont. So that's it. Just a statement that we are human too who make errors.

and they've had other issues with thier automation banning accounts totally incorrectly - not just youtube accounts, GOOGLE accounts. email, all of it, totally without cause, without report or flags even. then there's whole COPPA thing where videos have to be marked "for kids" or "not for kids" and for kids stuff gets no comments and massively reduced ad money - fine on the surface, and the result of a lawsuit they lost, in fact - but their automated systems are flagging things as "for kids" that are very, very NOT for kids...
The scandal they had with victimizing children was beyond bizarre and the fact that nothing happened or amounted from it is evidence of the grip Youtube has with its market. I don't think Google was purposefully engaging in this behavior considering a lot of their online enforcement originates from AI due to the sheer size of its user base, but it was disgusting nonetheless.there really needs to be a viable alternative to youtube... which i know i said before. just... restating the obvious i guess? i don't have any solutions, here.
Vimeo and Daily Motion come to mind when thinking about alternatives but it goes without saying that these alternatives are damn near worthless. User interface, upload limitations, limited database, ect. Youtube is too far deep into its marketplace for any company to catch up at this point. They have over a billion monthly users with years of videos being uploaded every day. No other site has the hardware of software to handle that capacity except for Google so I don't see anything that can be done here. Jump to:
