Now that is how to draw attention to the problem. Not the endless whining other youtube creators seems to want to bombard their viewers with.
I wonder if it is a New York thing.

That was one mean looking discontented cat.

How YouTube goes about striking content is up for debate, in what can seem an arbitary way, but in defense of YouTube, they are right to target Cryptocurrency channels. Why? The crypto space is a minefield of scammers offering no more than get-poor-quick ponzi schemes. Hence YouTube has a duty of care to the millions of subscribers who use the platform as their principle source of information on crypto-currencies.

BitConnect, OneCoin, Bitfinex and the QuadrigaCX exchange, are just some examples of huge scamsalleged  that have summoned the attention of financial regulators, the FBI and class action lawyers.

All of these products were all placing content on YouTube, either in the form of their official channel or via the myriad of wannabe YouTube stars who set themselves up as CryptoExperts. Experts who were most willing to front their livin-la-crypto-loco lifestyles, whilst remaining clueless to even what a blockchain was... Oh look, another video featuring a Ferrari, tropical beach, Learjet, Dubai skyline... Seriously, would you take life advice from a teenager in his bedroom? So why you taking investment advice then? Oh yes, teenagers know about computers and cryptos are computers... What did happen to CryptoNick?

Seriously, these fraudsters are taking vast sums of real 'fiat' money from hard working people, giving them no more than hopelessness in a smart-wallet, and exploit YouTube to legitimise their snake oil scams. Worse, they undermine the reputation of all YouTubers.

This aussie channel is one strike away from being deleted.
This is going to be HUGE, bigger than anything Youtube have done before.
Dozens of channels now, just the ones I have heard about, maybe even into the hundreds by now.

Bullshit. There are and have been countless investment channels over the years, crypto is no different.

You clearly haven't looked at the channels and videos being taken down.
