The Grinch who stole Christmas 2019 : YouTube!

avatar

By now many Steemians have read about the ban/removal of hundreds of cryptocurrency related videos from YouTube starting on December 23rd.

The first terrible thing about this is one video removal gets you one strike and one strike gets you banned for one week.

The second and bigger problem is that most of the YouTubers affected by this ban had more then three videos removed by the second day. That quickly brought them to three strikes which is the magic number to being kicked off YouTube and having your channel deleted.

This meant that on December 24th or Christmas Eve more then two dozen Cryptocurrency Content producers were facing being kicked off YouTube and having their channels deleted. You can imagine trying to email YouTube Christmas Eve for information about what came as a Surprise Attack.

A YouTuber who also posts his videos on Steemit @boxmining has a following of over 261,000 followers on YouTube and with six videos pulled in 2 days he was looking at the horrendous possibility of losing his channel on Christmas Day.

YouTube could probably do worse things publicity wise on Christmas Eve, but I can’t think of anything right now!

Look at these Headlines!

This Response on the Internet was very strong and YouTube stated publicly that they will repost the removed videos and reinstated the suspended accounts. But so far large content creators are confirming their reinstatement, but the smaller ones appear to be still waiting.

Even after YouTube lifted the ban several articles about alternative social media sites were in the News with Steem and Steemit being mentioned as decentralized alternatives.

However the very eloquent video by @boxmining points out how difficult it is to move a subscriber base from YouTube to Steemit. Technically he can move his videos, but How does he move his subscribers? He has about 2000 here and 260,000 there?

Personally, my mission this week will be to tabulate or list our onboarding operations and try to estimate our onboarding capacity.

How would we onboard 261,000 subscribers, so this content creators could move to Steemit. I know the majority would be curating his content, so 5 to 10 SteemPower May be all they need. That’s about $1.60 at today’s prices. It seems a bargain to buy yourself a censorship resistant platform, where only the community can demonetize you and since everything is stored on the blockchain, your videos are near impossible to take down.

I believe this will ultimately be good for the Steem blockchain and the decentralized social media platforms on it like Steemit, 3Speak, D-Tube and Steemleo, which also has a video blogger niche for investment content creators.

Things are never quiet for long in the crypto sphere. I wonder what the New Years Holiday has in store for us.

Read other articles by me on the Steemit Social Media Platform, where writers get paid for their content by the community by upvotes worth the cryptocurrency, called Steem.

Hey @shortsegments,

@upvoteshares is currently having a promo for members of the upvotebuilders project that closed down recently wich might help to recover some of the lost upvotes.

This project has been running steady and over 20 months without having to make all that much promotion as it offers Steemians like you who bring consistent quality content solid returns far above the 10x self-upvote values and also includes tribe upvotes for SPORTS / PAL / LEO.

There are still some shares left in Level 20 (Value always goes up each Level) so feel free to check it out and let me know if you are interested or have questions. Also feel free to ask any of the ~100 already existing members their experience with the program.

Keep up the great stuff !

This is so mean to do it in December 23 and 24 and make people think they lost their channel before Christmas.

That's insanity .... if Youtube wants to change what is being seen on their site than that is Youtube's right to do so but they need to be reasonable about it.

I agree. It seems that YouTube is so big, they follow the Capitalist Golden Rule; He who has the gold makes the rules.
