just like before, unless you can show at least one example of an actually legitimate cryptocurrency related content that was removed i am going to say it was justified because all the "contents" i have seen have been either scams advertising some sort of shitcoin or ICO or have been misleading people into losing money in trading disguised as "expert traders" and "trading signals".

as an example of useful content that will never be removed you can always look at Andreas Antonopoulos videos.

If youtube uses the same algorithm that they use for demonetizing other videos, then it is possible that they remove good content, but I don't think there's that much of good crypto content on youtube to begin with, and most of it is old and well-established, so it's unlikely to be removed. So maybe overall it's a net positive that a lot of scams will get booted out of the platform and less people will get scammed.

i don't think it is an algorithm they use to remove videos from their platform. it is mainly based on reports a video receives plus the topic/contents of that video. for example when someone is advertising an ICO scam or spreading wrong market analysis to mislead people into buying a pumping shitcoin and is reported, the video is going to be removed.
the "good content" even if reported, won't be removed because there is nothing wrong with them.

Maybe they just banning those reviews who are not telling the truth or has some false information regarding their projects. I mean, this is good because we only want to watch some legit reviews base on what is the truth behind those projects. I don't really care if they delete all of those fake contents because they're just adding oil to the fire of those slanders against cryptocurrencies. Last time I watch youtube videos about a certain project, they're just babbling about some things that didn't make any sense, I think that kind of contents has been added to the deleted crypto contents on youtube.

Banning cryptocurrency is not mean they refuse all forms of crypto currency on their platform, but there is an important reason why they banned it.
i believe that there are only few Videos that was banned and not all crypto related topics right?
Agree with what OP says, as far as I know, I have seen there are a lot of fake giveaways beside coronavirus. Like Elon musk giveaways who give a lot of ripple to the participant but they need deposit x btc first in order to get the reward.
because those scammers are using the most popular video place in the world in which YouTube thats why the YT management are doing its best to save their watchers also.

Those things are worst, cause some newbies out there will fall easily to this trap, you can see the way scammer is very shrewd to package the content. Maybe what youtube was done is the right thing to do, I can't see the bad thing happened crypto currency price when this news comes.
yups because those are their clients and they don't want to be blamed from those scammers job using their platform.

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.

If this is the real reason, why Youtube allowed other contents, like ˜traditional" investments, stocks etc?
There are tons of this content on youtube and I didn't see any content being removed like cryptos


I think this is a good point why legitimate ones are being banned too, I am not against youtube banning scam contents because they should really do it, but I am more concern on what are their basis anyway? What is the process? I also think legit content creators should be honest with their content. Tell them the risk, spread informations about fake giveaways, scams and other content that will lose their money.

Well, you may not agree with me but bitcoin has the image of a platform that is used in scamming. If a newbie tried their luck and get scammed, I think the response will be them reporting the video. They are more informed with the traditional investments and stocks, they already know the risk. So it is important to tell them honestly the risk of bitcoin too. Let us also help legit content creators to be know as a legit one. Recognize them, it will help the community as well.

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.

You are definitely right. Sometimes, due to lots of contents uploaded on Youtube, legitimate channels are being banned because lots of scammers are producing content in almost the same appearance and form. They have their policies and regulations which makes lets them continue their function. It'll definitely become a bad point if there will be scamming and that their platform became the medium. In youthbe campaigns, there are most individuals who upload their content. I am sure that Youtube will continue to work to provide maximum quality for their viewers without destroying legitimate channels and content.

Its just right to ban it but they should be considerate to check out which one is scam and which one is a legit crypto content.
When it comes on banning fake giveaways and even those shitty ICO content then for sure all of us do agree with that.
We cant do anything in regards to this as long it do violates their terms and conditions which is solely to protect audience to
get involved into scam and other related stuff then it would really gets banned.


I don't think that Google or Youtube will be "considerate to check out" which one is scam or which one is legit crypto content. Just like we have seen in the December purge, they simply removed everything they deemed violated their TOS. They should look at how many fake giveaways first and shit ICO pumping promotion using their platform.

Yeah, their rules, but the problem is that many cyber criminals can still go around with it post everything in youtube and can get away with it. After a few days, post the same video, rinse and repeat.

Those issues came from only 2 youtube accounts that are newly uploaded videos, which I think probably youtube focused on the content and was removed because of related reasons against their tos. While the incident happens on december was a purge of all crypto-related content even the old uploaded videos and they confirmed its a mistake and was fixed.

This was probably one of the bad news that has been occurring right now because we all know that youtube is one of the best platform in which we can introduce cryptocurrency to other people and this is one of the many videos that has the capability to learn something on fields of cryptocurrency and that's why it is really a problem for us.

This is a sort of cleaning the entire community of youtube. Those deleted videos are maybe nonsense/pointless or just a scam project service to have their own benefits just like what happen to this coronavirus token project that fooled many people.
lol youtube cannot delete a video just because they find it very boring/pointless/nonsense, I'm using youtube and I'm telling you there are thousands of useless video that is not deleted, nonsensical facts and fake/edited events that is posted and still getting a dollar. If youtube will find a way if they can tell that a channel is promoting a scam or fraudulent stuff then might as well they delete it but my question is how? People could easily dislike a video they don't like and report anything.

Sometimes there are many toxic in a community that should be cleaned. Video creators should understand the youtube community guidelines and basic strikes and that is the reason that their video is safe for vanishing.
I'm not really into youtube for watching crypto related contents but just for my personal opinion there should be a deep investigation for everything that has been reported to them coz I'm pretty sure there are channels that is true to its work and has a passion for educating people about crypto related matters.

I never really understood why people get so hurt over this.

1. It's Youtube. Their rules. Don't like it, go to a crypto-friendly place like Dlive/Dtube/Twitch or whatever I'm not even sure. Tik tok.
2. Why would I want to see crypto content on YT? If Andreas A stuff is still available, and other educational stuff is still available, then I'm good. I don't need to hear of XYZ better than BTC crap on YT. If what you're reading's taken offline, then maybe, just maybe, you've been reading crap.

If there is no effective way to filter good from bad content, then the only correct solution would be to remove all content that is related to cryptocurrency. But of course Google (which owns YouTube) will not do this, as they would lose part of their revenue. As others have noted, most YT content related to crypto is actually pointless and bad, so the only ones protesting the tight controls are those trying to profit from inexperienced users.

According to everything I've personally seen in recent years, 80% of crypto videos are actually bad or pointless, but people still watch them - because for most it's not content that matters, it's presentation.

YouTube is banning crypto because there have been many instances where crypto related channels have been in the center of big scams. Another reason for ban is that some channel hackers have demanded cryptocurrencies to reinstate hacked channels from the channel owner.

These ban are driven by community response and youtube give a lot of preference to its community.

YouTube is all set on making money this year .
With an increasing number of advertisements plus the premium membership program , I do think it is indeed very smart but at the same time they need to understand that people valued the freedom they provided.
I see no reason for them to ban cryptocurrencies related content , they will ofcourse need it for the upcoming times when it will be officially used.
One should understand that , they are just making a part of their viewers angry .
When even the government is okay with this I see no reason why they should do this.

I believe that they are doing this for the benefit of everybody.
We know that some project is really enticing to see and people get attracted to it but somehow it turns bad and has a scamming end which is the Youtube channel have to work on it. They are actually saving us from this kind of artwork and I really appreciate their works. This is not probably about money but this is to protect their reputation as well.

I think youtube doesn't ban all the crypto content. If you search about cryptocurrency in youtube, you still see some videos related about crypto.
Usually youtube only ban a content which have been reported many times.

Much better to look for other alternatives out there.

I know the lbry.com, I have read about it a couple of months ago when youtube starts deleting some cryptocurrency content on their platform. BUT with all these alternatives for youtube platform, still people won't go out there simply because most of the channels are for profit/monetary valued by its creator. Who wants to talk in an hour without any in exchange? don't be a hyprocrite folks, in addition some people in youtube spent hundreds of days analyzing everything that they wanted to share with their audience and these following alternatives, none of them are for profit organization. Perhaps that is the very reason why people are still with youtube. On top of that is the popularity, youtube is default app in millions of phones.

Really hard to beat youtube despite of so many platforms trying to compete with them. There are also several crypto projects like buzzshow (https://www.buzzshow.com/), juiice (https://www.juiice.com), and others. Yet, they can't capture a good percentage of youtube viewers.
But youtube should watch and see the content of the video before totally deleting it. There are still some informational crypto videos that need to be out there. YT is the go-to of large part of population on earth so they should at least leave some good crypto videos.
