Now I'm searching Youtube using the keyword "bitcoin" and thousands of videos appear in the search results.Most of the videos are published in the last 24 hours and most of them have at least a few thousand views.It seems that everything is alright and Youtube doesn't ban all Bitcoin related content.
I don't know what's going on with altcoin/shitcoin/ICO videos.I don't watch such videos and most of those videos deserve to get banned,because they are scam.

Legit is a hard thing to find, especially with how the market is. The analysis wouldn't cut it since some are just spouting bs in the first half and then proceeds to advertise shitcoins in the second half. I doubt YT has the time to actually filter properly what content is good and what content is not, especially since the crypto scene in terms of videos and the like isn't really that developed. If factual knowledge were presented like definitions and the like, then it's possible, but if it's a vague idea that can be seen as a form of advertisement and or scam, then YT has every right to proceed with their actions.

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.
Viewers are often reporting the videos in the support of youtube because of the contents that are about recommendation into cryptocurrencies ir any project that can be considered as scam. Trading signals also are one of the videos that should be removed because there is no such legit groups where can give you consistent earning in the market. It is better if the youtube will really delete videos that can scam other people.

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 cant say that the article is totally good. Yes crypto scam on YouTube is increasing but this will affect those legit one that gives true giveaway.

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.

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
We need clear guidelines regarding to this action from YouTube, crypto related channels shouldn't be affected by this massive banning if they'll
provide information to those owners so complying will be more easier.
Though it weight from those reported scam the focused should not be in all or generalize but it should be sorted properly.

If it is like that, the promoter should have told the audience or subscribers to understand the risks when investing, and not all crypto youtubers promote or make videos about new projects or projects that have just launched IEO. There are some of them who only do daily trading, and now it looks like they are switching platforms.

This is not a smart move for youtube I guess, since there are really a legit crypto channels relying on youtube but once there are people calling it scam that has been reported to youtube without any given credentials that might be a lose for their platform coz what if that is just another channel showing disrespect to others? I get it, there are bunch of scams every where, I don't know what procedures the youtube are doing with reported channels but I hope they are considering the side of the channel as well. Youtube shouldn't be too supportive either way.

It's hard to understand this kind of rule of youtube/google, they are denying a tech product (cryptcoins)?
It makes no sense, because here in Brazil for example, there are tons of content that are/were scams, and it's advertising without any problems
The only reason I can think is some google's cryptocoin in a near future

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.

A lot of legitimate channels are affected by this and that is just frustrating.

As far as I know last month, Ivan on tech was temporarily banned by YouTube and I think that is just unfair considering there are making content just like other content creators and their main content surrounds cryptocurrency. I think the main reason is that the fact that cryptocurrencies are decentralized and I think the platform is looking at it as a way to be against the government.

YouTube channel should make a better move this time in separating the scam channel from a legitimate one and for the channel owners, make sure also to double check every rules and regulations of YouTube so you can avoid this from happening.

This happened last year but the YouTube gave a statement that they created a mistake and they un-ban the legitimate crypto channels so I am hoping that they are not doing the same mistake again. It will be good also if you can drop some legit channels that were being banned by YouTube so we can check whether they are now banning the whole crypto channels or those scam channels only.
