YouTube is believed to be restricting crypto-related content on its platform and in some cases even deleting the flagged videos.

According to NextGen's Chris Dunn, the world's largest video sharing platform removed most of his crypto videos for being "Harmful or dangerous content." Other YouTube creators reported similar incidents happening to them, too.

YouTube cracks down on crypto content in the wake of new regulations.

Chris Dunn, a venture partner at NextGenVP and one of the most popular crypto creators on YouTube, said many of his videos were removed from the platform.

" just removed most of my crypto videos citing "harmful or dangerous content" and "sale of regulated goods" it's been 10 years of making videos, 200k+ subs, and 7M+ views.

According to the screenshots of his strikes, YouTube said his video titled "How I'm Investing Right Now" was removed because it violated its "Harmful and dangerous policy." The strike will prevent Dunn from uploading, posting, or streaming for a week.

Just a day earlier, Josh Centers, the managing director of TidBITS, said his video criticizing Coinbase's verification process has been removed under the same policy Dunn's videos got restricted.

"My completely benign video about Coinbase's crappy verification process was pulled by YouTube and netted me a warning about"harmful and dangerous" content.

It's hard to say how many other YouTube creators also got their crypto-related content restricted or removed.

The platform began enforcing the rules retroactively, which got one of the videos on the BTC Sessions YouTube channel removed.
