Maybe youtube are just playing safe here. Since a lot of people are losing money in crypto investments, they want crypto related videos gone so they will not be blamed by the proliferation of crypto-related losses. But I think should not be all videos, they should assess the content. If it is more on informational videos towards crypto, they should not delete.

Yeah, that's right.
By deleting crypto-related videos, YouTube has shown its attitude that most crypto investment ends up being a scam. Which is done by people who are not responsible. Whereas crypto like bitcoin and top altcoin have never committed fraud, what is wrong is only those who promote it and flee their investors' money.

Did they made any changes against cryptos in their terms and policies? I can still view videos related to cryptos and trading so they are not entirely screening crypto contents maybe some particular influencers who go against their community terms.

Same here. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency tutorial and educational videos are still available in Youtube. This must be limited to a few channels or influencers only. Perhaps they are violating certain terms or conditions. But this is not a complete ban for sure.

youtube is owned by google and that makes sense if youtube is also following the act that already taken by google about crypto.
We must have own platform to do that. All of the major companies suck, just hope there will be an alternative way to publish anything related to the visualization through the crypto platform for vlogging.

But not all of videos are about promoting crypto some may discuss about what crypto or something else.

Maybe it's not a policy change from YouTube, but there are some reports that YouTube might receive from people watching videos about Crypto.
People can report any video and be reviewed by YouTube. Maybe the report deleted the video on that channel. but for other channels that contain crypto is still safe and can be watched.

I think there is a missed point of this application of Youtube. Not all Youtube channels, only some of them have received these alerts. In order to comment, we must first learn what they have in common.

I also noticed this one upon searching some tutorials about crypto trading maybe those videos that violating the terms and conditions are now banning on youtube because we all know theres a lot of people lossing money by investing on scam project.

I never heard this type of news before.Maybe that channel owner broke any rules of YouTube. Or he Did something wrong that's why his channel faced this problem. My friends have crypto related YouTube channel,but subscribers are low but his channel didn’t face any problem.

wow, I think this is really a big problem for those who share about crypto on youtube and make money from it.  I think this problem is caused by too many channels being established just to acclaim fraudulent projects and buy likes and views.  This has been attracting attention for a long time and now they have started to punish crypto-related people.  I personally think this is not a very friendly job of YouTube, they are removing millions of their customers.

I also think the same, because no TOS has changed, only stronger toward sentiment towards massive reporting actions, YouTube removes video content that leads to bitcoin buying suggestions, or suggestions and guidelines for other crypto investments.

YouTube is still in a position to prevent, but it doesn't make sense to consider that the deleted content is considered to be in the harmful category, they need further research on this.

So sad news. I have also gone through this piece of article. Once Facebook and google slapped a ban on crypto-related advertisements. Now it is the time for YouTube to do so. But YouTube doing so will not discourage the importance of cryptocurrency as it is being widely adopted across the globe. I think YouTube will lift this ban soon following pressure.

Maybe they do not want to associate with crypto currencies which is kind of understandable. Cryptos has shown literally nothing for the past two years and no further steps made towards the mass adoption.

Maybe youtube management do not want to involved in any crypto issues and I think they don't want to pay crypto blogger that already hit their views quota in their site because all we know that crypto is not yet on legal status so it is hard to be part of any blog that sharing in public. I think this is the main reason why youtube management do that.

[inanilujimi]

I think depending on the content from YouTube, if you only provide information related to the crypto world I think YouTube does not delete it, but the type of projects that offer ICOs that are vulnerable to the scams they delete.
I think it's natural because they don't want to be blamed.

That's a newb investor perspective, and big companies don't act like that. I believe that youtube is just acting on some new orders from sec, because almost certainly many of those videos are violating some securities law or something like that.

This shouldn't be an issue... not strange to me. What is alittle strange is why centralized companies have tolerated decentralization for too long.
I think people on this space should learn to depend less on centralized platforms and begin build great decentralized alternatives.
People who don't know about cryptocurrency are more at risk, in my opinion.
People should learn to depend less on "governments" and begin to build proper/ethical governments
themselves

Its quite disappointing to hear the sudden cracked on crypto related contents and being removed or deleted by youtube they ought to have stated the reason for their actions or possibly profiles the contents which are more or less promoting scams of course there are quite a number of crypto videos which are genuinely promoting the crypto positively personally its high time a rival decentralized video platform should be established.

It's not known what YouTube's move to crack down on crypto-related channels, but this is a bad influence for those who want to learn about cryptocurrencies. The reason has not been determined so we should not guess what to do, please wait for more new information from Youtube.
