Topic: YouTube continues to ban crypto content (Read 431 times)
The fake and scams will never go away and I don't think it's best enough for Youtube management to ban crypto related channels because there are other things that scammers use to deceive others aside crypto. They should find a better way of getting all those scam accounts blocked other than generalizing it all together. that will make it difficult for crypto starters to learn from their creators.

You just nailed this in my opinion. As you have said, there are still thousands of YouTube's videos around the platform so, in my opinion, the videos they look out for are the ones that actually violated their terms and regulations and not just all the YouTube videos.
With your analysis, even a friend of mine has been creative about cryptocurrency videos on YouTube and none of his videos got deleted. So, those videos targeting to scam gullible are likely to be deleted from the platform.

Had it happened again? Something like this happened about six months ago and it's happening again
According to this article, YouTube continues to ban crypto content; No one knows the reason!. Last December they ban a lot of 'legitimate crypto website'. But lately though, we have seen hundreds if not thousands of fake giveways, and with the Covid-19 pandemic, perhaps there are more crypto related scams appearing on Youtube.
I agree with the ban of crpyto related scams, and they should focus on it. However, if some legit channels are going to be affected, then they have to look at their process of banning, just saying.
I thought those bans were a mistake. Faulty algorithm which marked them as a scam and got automatically deleted. As far as I know, those bans were reversed and a rollback was made were the contents were recovered with proper stats.I agree with the ban of crpyto related scams, and they should focus on it.

You sure they still banning those contents? I haven't heard anyone complain about it yet anywhere and I do still find contents related to crypto currencies from time to time.

I think that Google is against anything crypto related, since it could affect its business. Blockchain technology provides freedom to the people, which goes against the belief of worldwide conglomerates. While Google could justify its actions by eliminating scams or fraud, we know deep inside the companies' intentions to harm the growth of the crypto/Blockchain industry in general. That's the reason why YouTube continues to ban crypto content in its platform. It's best that we switch to another service which focuses on decentralization above anything else. DTube is a great alternative to the existent YouTube video hosting service, which gives the power back to content creators.
I guess that most crypto enthusiasts continue to use YouTube to host their videos because it's a popular platform in the mainstream world. Switching to another video hosting service might not seem to be a good idea since they have a small amount of users supporting them. Maybe with enough pressure from the crypto community, Google's YouTube video hosting service would change its stance towards everything crypto related? With or without YouTube, the crypto industry could stand strong in desperate times like the ones we're facing right now. There are many alternatives from existent services right now, which gives anyone the choice to support one platform from another. As long as crypto remains decentralized, it'll be a force to reckon with. Just my opinion
Maybe. Once Dtube is advertised on youtube by the blockchain influencers, the popularity may hurt their business. There is more freedom to projects in the cryptocurrency unlike with google.
They are not thoroughly banning all cryptorelated channels as we can see there are analyst there who are still very much active providing their forecast. So most likely its just those reported channels that has contents that can potentially scam thats taken down.

Probably these legit channels somehow violate rules.? but you re right many scam giveaways channels have appeared recently that's why ban
I never offend anyone, I do respect the unlock time forum minimum of 60, I talk my bull shit as everybody but I'm not allowed to free post ..what?
I name is nobody ( In many Unix variants, "nobody" is the conventional name of a user account which owns no files, is in no privileged groups, and has no abilities except those which every other user has. Some systems also define an equivalent group "nogroup" )
I'm totally respect the principle of least privilege...

Youtube looking for payment fee each video cryptocurrency upload on their channel, maybe they have tired with many video of cryptocurrency list on their channel every time, I think always have other media keep support with bitcoin and directly will have get positive respond when bitcoin back again to higher price.
Basically, they may not be doing this because they are against the existence of cryptocurrency content but against the scammers who we all times uploaded fake videos against the wishes if the YouTube. This I see as a sign of responsibility on the part of the YouTube, so, taking such drastic action is recommended to curb the access of these scammers. Although, looking at the current Price of Bitcoin might is a long awaited wishes from Bitcoiners.
It is because of scam related contents, there are many users of youtube have been reported that they been scammed because they followed the tips and recommendations of the youtubers. The youtube is only doing the right way in order to prevent more issues about scams but it is not okay that all of the videos about cryptocurrencies should be removed because there are some that have legit information.
A lot of big crypto channels owners are affected, and they concerned about it because many of them effective contents are delated. Youtube doing these from last year but still they're unable to remove all of those scam related content/videos. I saw many youtube channels are continuously making live stream in youtube about giveaway likes BTC and others coin.
YouTube banned many crypto related account in the year 2019 but after that still more crypto channel alvin even bad year 2020 January start banned lot of channel. After youtube abruptly deleted millions of videos related to cryptocurrency citing it and the videos have been restored.
Therefore, google owned company has not officially made any statement for this, a leading crypto-focused portal.
Cointelegraph has mentioned in a report that youtube has responded that the content was taken down by accident and since been it now restored.

While it doesn't really surprise me, I will admit that I didn't expect it. Considering how outraged people were at the last wave of bans, which was done pretty much just to screw with the industry, I know that a tiny percentage of it was justified as it were profiles giving financial advice, but then again, looking at the greater scheme of things, aren't all videos in some form giving financial advice? Check tech channels and them weighting different products and recommending the one they think it's best, that could be extrapolated as financial advice. And that's what makes this so stupid to begin with, is a placeholder rule they don't enforce equally on everyone.

It's pretty obvious that we know the reason, a lot of hacks and fake giveaways. Maybe they have to be clear though, what are the rules again, how many strike-out before your account gets ban?

If those legit crypto channels are affected then they should clarify to Youtube what TOS they violated. Otherwise they should be restore. Youtube should put all their efforts on closing down, not just crypto related scams, but there are a lot of materials in their platform that are also political and has malicious intent. So they shouldn't focus on crypto alone, just saying.

Not just YouTube i guess. Many social channel like Facebook, Reddit, Medium also banning 'legitimate crypto website'. In that case Twitter is haven for crypto spammers/scammers i think cause they don't care which one is legitimate and which are not.
I will agree with you that it's a good decision if authority clean up scam/spam channel but other hand they have to more careful about their actions against legitimate crypto channel. 
But we must check the authencity of the users so we wouldnt not fall to scams. One thing also, the purpose of comment section is to give feedback, people can use it to know the content if its legit or not. Regardless, I know lots of users shill and fake their review but this somehow let us go back to realization that there are some who will still see its being fake.
Other than through the comments column, we can contribute to giving warnings to others by reporting suspicious content or channel scams. Fraudsters really take advantage of all things, many of which are in the name of "premium signals" and the like which are said to be guided by experts, and many are found on YouTube. If we find out it's wrong, then just report it, at least it makes his reputation go down. Jump to:
