Why YouTube Bans Bitcoin &Crypto Videos?

[Mike Mayor]

Hello Community; as you know from the last 3 days the social media is full of this topic. What’s your opinion on it? What’s the main reason behind it?

Guys, till now I am confused but I added all of my probabilities. End of the day, I am scared. Because, I have learned so many things by watching YouTube crypto videos. I can’t imagine a single day without watching my favorite’s cannel.

could you show us a couple of videos that were good and removed?
i ask this because i don't really follow any Youtube channels but i occasionally watch some stuff and ever since this news came out i re-visited most of them and they are still there.
so my guess is that they are only purging the garbage such as videos trying to gain views by pretending to do TA for bitcoin or those talking about altcoin prices and try to pump the shitcoins they bag hold,... removing these videos is an excellent decision.

I would also like to know this. I have had a youtube account for over 10 years and have never had a problem and I am very vocal and very raw and direct. Never a single strike nor warning as it should be. I have not known youtube to be this way. It sounds very odd to me since youtube it pretty liberal and free. Youtube is the place to go for learning videos. Censorship is something I find difficult for me to believe since youtube really doesn't seem to support censorship and as far as I have experienced it's not censored at all. (obviously clear abuse cases are)

Youtube is not what it used to be. It has killed and still kills a lot of genuine content creators. YT is turning into TV money making machine and long term they will get burned for that.

If you think that you did not break the rules, then you should contact the support service, because very often errors occur when youtube channel is blocked for no reason.  The fact is that the YouTube administration automatically selects suspicious information that may advertise phishing sites or any other fraudulent projects.  Of course, each user must carefully select information for his video so as not to fall under suspicion.

Surely they are aware of what is happening in the cryptocurrency community I think they are planning to ban this kind of videos since they are getting a lot of reports but for me it is not a good thing because they already deleted a whole channel for just a single restriction like this for me it is unfair for the owner of the channels.

[electronicash]

well now that it happened i guess all are again fair in the youtube crypto influencers, this might just be a good time for me to create youtube videos related to blockchain and present myself as social media influencer to get a high paying job from crypto teams who needs advertising.

lucky for andreas antonopolos his videos weren't deleted, maybe because this speaker does a good job explaining details in AMAs.

Since, it's under Google and Google ads has already stopped with cryptocurrency ads. Now it's being followed by YouTube as well as YouTube is an easy and a profitable medium of advertisement. Videos are anyday more attractive than plain ads. Just like other social media companies like Facebook and Twitter which already have curbed cryptocurrency advertisement, I am guessing that YouTube has too done it because of the increasing scam.
People advertise their scam ICOs through these social media platform at negligible cost and many people fall for such stupidity.

You shouldn't be scared of what's happening to YouTube. I'm more concern with these content creators if YouTube is the only place where they post their videos and they didn't backed up any of those videos from their channel. Day by day the algorithm is changing and I think it has something to do with these deleted videos, I'm sure that if they comply and file for dispute, and YouTube agrees then they can easily retrieve those deleted videos.

But if YouTube becomes firm of their decision and those disputes won't help, there's nothing they can do unless they find another platform to continue their advocacy and monetize their videos.

Recently I got message from youtube where it was stated that every content creator has to mark on youtube whether their content is created/acceptable for children or not in order to protect COPPA and other rules.
As far as I know chanel owners had to mark their videos according to this but still idk whether it has to.do something with current case cause otherwise there is no reason to delete bitcoin related videos on youtube, there is no such rule, he can send claim on his videos.

From the information you provided, I don't really think it is only crypto related videos that are affected, others might be too.
 Crypto is here to stay, lol

[Maotezi]

They are most affected by YouTube fraud, which is why they remove videos.
Youtube looks after its customers in some way and may not have delved deeper into the crypto world to know about it.
These videos must be more detailed, contain more information, and the presentation must be nice and clear, and everything else will be condemned to be scam.

[JeffBrad12]

It's not only crypto that is being purged. A lot of political extremists got their channels deleted or at least received warnings. This is connected to the changes of Youtube TOS according to which if you attack other people in your videos you can get a community strike. Many crypto youtubers used to talk about crypto scams like those guys who promoted bitconnect, but many others criticized and exposed these scams and also got those videos deleted.

Youtube doesn't want free speech. They don't want you to criticize or expose other people, they don't want you to dox. You are to be a silent audience that devours information they're feeding you. Time for some decentralized free media to take over!

Unfortunately what makes youtube is those people who aren't really into technology and I can't see then moving over to decentralized platform which potentially confuse and make them give up from switching platform at the first try. Such bitter truth that youtube has now already in the mind of many people it's so hard to see other streaming platform than youtube.

[MURONDI]

it became a hot topic in this forum where many crypto related channels were removed by youtube, maybe because of the many reports, many scams in the name of crypto on YouTube, as we know that YouTube is Google's property, whether in the future Google will also censor crypto-related searches or articles.

So how will you explain that people lost videos or got their channels flagged for posting investing tutorials even those unrelated to crypto or analysis of financial markets also unrelated to crypto? Youtube is biased and it has proven it many times by attacking channels that were supporting certain movements like pro-life, MGTW, now it's investment channels. Do you really need to be protected from free speech?

[todiboa]

I'm sorry but why you need to be scared? I'm sure that you already learned a lot from watching youtube videos so it's about time that you practice it yourself. As far as the bans, I don't think that youtube wanted it to be permanent. Perhaps they just wanted to get rid of the bad eggs here and free their system with a lot of scammers. Nothing to be afraid of.

If YouTube will prohibit a crypto content, this will greatly slow down the popularization of crypto and create the opinion that crypto is bad because YouTube does not approve of this. Do you think this will not hurt? I am sure that we should afraid of the ban of the largest media platform

[shark1006]

I think this is a big mistake during cleaning old materials. I am sure that YouTube is not one of those platforms that do something contrary their rules

[Faysal Fahad]

Update: Warning Removed! YouTube Apologizes & Crypto Videos are Returning to YouTube.

So in the past few days, did YouTube make a mistake or have some problems with cryptocurrency videos? And now deleted videos are being restored to what they were before, if they were right then we wouldn't have to worry. Everything is still under control and this market will not be affected by this news

[samcrypto]

Looks like a big mistake by Youtube because I've search it right now and you can still see Bitcoin in Youtube.


Youtube is a big place for cryptocurrency, I hope they don't push this kind of action and I hope that youtube will support cryptocurrency in the future and make this as an option for their paid advertisement. Let's not panic on this one and let's wait for the official announcement of Youtube!

Hello Community; as you know from the last 3 days the social media is full of this topic. What’s your opinion on it? What’s the main reason behind it?



According to me; what’s are the possibilities- 
1)   Crypto is being purge by Youtube.
2)   Attract by some kind of group intentionally.
3)   Attract from Scam Coins (Since good YouTubers telling the true story).
4)   Wrong YouTube Algorithm.
5)   Lots of Fake ICO, Crypto Exchange related videos on YouTube.

Guys, till now I am confused but I added all of my probabilities. End of the day, I am scared. Because, I have learned so many things by watching YouTube crypto videos. I can’t imagine a single day without watching my favorite’s cannel.

Whatever, now really want to know all of your opinion on this issue.

I don't know whats wrong whit youtube want to banned bitcoin without have good reason, there are many bad video publishing in Youtube but keep exist without banned like bad attitude video publish on youtube, I hope although youtube want to banned bitcoin keep make price bitcoin will higher price and don't have anything effect where can make bitcoin down.

[White Christmas]

Not necessary youtube are banning bitcoin and cryptocurrency related videos, it is just a matter of deleting or removing unnecessary video content that are making by some users of youtube so that the watchers of the said platform will not br able to watch some bad related videos that attached with the cryptocurrency. YouTube is used by so many people in the cryptocurrency to promote and help their projects to be successful but the remaining balance of the projects that are legit are lessen and the scam projects that are promoting in the youtube are deleted in order to be safe to their watchers because there are a lot of people who are watching this platform and we know that this is one of the best way to promote things and etc.
