YouTube Crypto-Related Content Not Fully Restored, YouTubers Say "Nothing Has Changed"

Many of the YouTubers affected by the ban still have not had their videos restored on the site.

YouTuber Ivan on Tech told Cointelegraph on December 26th:."Nothing has changed. YouTube said this was a mistake yesterday too. I'm not sure why they are saying this."

Ivan on Tech's YouTube account, which has more than 210,000 subscribers, received a strike from YouTube earlier this week.

"This was the first time I was punished by YouTube and I got a warning. When you have a warning, you will get a strike next time. After 3 strikes within 90 days, YouTube permanently removes your channel," said Carl.According to YouTube's community guidelines, content is automatically removed if it violates the platform's guidelines.

While this may be the case, crypto YouTubers have expressed confusion as to why their content is being deleted, a point of concern that YouTube has failed to clarify.

We do know that Alex Saunders YouTube channel, Nugget's News, which has 64.6k subscribers, has been banned due to "Harmful or dangerous content."

Saunders posted in the r/ethereum community on Reddit 9 hours prior to press time that he woke up on Christmas to a strike warning from YouTube for posting "Harmful or dangerous" content.

"Today I woke up on Xmas to a strike warning from YouTube for harmful or dangerous content. Checked my email, nothing. A few hours later after Xmas lunch, another strike. I hadn't even done anything on Youtube since the first strike. Still no email. I cover a lot of topics related to finance, economics, housing market, stocks as well as crypto related content. We don't do paid ICO or token promotion. I have done tutorials on leverage trading platforms. I'm really not sure what to do. If the trend continues most crypto youtubers will be affected."

"Update: YouTube has repealed my warning and reposted the video, which they had previously removed. Crypto YouTube is not dead.".

YouTube has still not responded to Cointelegraph's request for an update on the matter since admitting content was taken down as a mistake on December 24th..
