Could it be related with facebook's crypto currency and the news from Switzerland? Alexexander. |

YouTube is a publisher because it hosts and distributes content. There is loads of misleading crap on YouTube which I'd love to be deleted such as the dangerous climate change and new ice age conspiracy theory channels. Lots of them seem to do very well and receive lots of money in sponsorship from companies with vested interests in it. I accept there is a valid argument of leaving all of that rubbish, in the spirit of free speech, but people are often too ignorant to distinguish between real and pseudoscience. Cryptocurrencies are frequently used by criminals and scammers because they can't be traced. I've seen videos about scammers tricking people into opening cryptocurrency accounts to pay money into. Of course this doesn't mean that all crypto currency content is a scam, but YouTube's AI can't tell the difference. The problem is AI can't explain the reasoning behind its decisions which are the result of training. People will have reported scams involving cryptocurrencies and the AI would have learned to associate cryptocurrency with scams, hence the warnings. |

I'm the only creator I know that still does this. --- Quote ---Youtubers that have already been demonetised for (((hate speech))) have mostly prospered by reaching out directly to retailers and advertisers who aren't so skittish about the content they are associated with. --- End quote --- Patreon is the thing that saved many of them, but they ironically ended up doing a similar thing that Youtube have done. --- Quote ---The bottom line is if you have a vested interest in Google and/or Youtube, realise you need to sever the relationship before they do. If you have a Youtube subscription list, download it to a file on you harddrive. That way, you have the control to re-find the content in which you enjoyed as it vanishes. --- End quote --- Any Youtuber who isn't automatically backing up their videos to at least LBRY and Bitchute is a fool. I've been saying this for years. |
