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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) 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.

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? 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.
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.

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.

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.

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 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.
