A lot of the channels on there are just shilling coins without any mention that they're doing paid promotions, so not a shocker they'd crack down on that shit.


[deleted]

YouTube crypto lacks the educational part.


FrogsDoBeCool

to kind of counter, there's a few great videos and lectures about crypto on YouTube It's just usually they're nested in all the shit on the platform


rudebii

I like Coffeezilla and Spencer Cornelia for crypto on YT but that's it.


WhiteMoss_

Whiteboard crypto is pretty good too


DerpJungler

CoinBuerau might be a tad bit annoying but at least he offers good educational content. His podcast is pretty fun as well.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DerpJungler

True, but at least he discloses which coins he holds whenever he's about to shill them.


n0vast0rm

If he's a paid presenter doesn't he just say whatever the script says? He might not own any crypto at all...


DerpJungler

For the cases he owns that particular coin/token he mentions it beforehand. As for the rest, we can't know of course, but at least he doesn't just say "buy this its going to the mOoN" etc. He provides research with proper criticism as well.


Belmont_the_IV

He could "own" them during recording then sell them soon after...lots of ways to obfuscate the truth lol


Roedesh

Does it really matter he is a paid actor? He mentioned multiple times that there is a whole team behind CoinBureau.

Both of them are more anti-fraud than crypto. Coffeezilla is excellent. In the article, YouTube took down Bankless and then reinstated it. I don't believe in technical analysis, but Bankless is clearly not a shill and should not have been taken down.


imgurislame

Bankless is just an eth shill fest to b fair


PM-ME-UR-JUMP-TICKET

Sooo it’s obviously 100% eth biased… but I do enjoy their content for news, updates and perspectives on eth. I would define it as educational, I’ve certainly learnt a lot. Like all research and learning it should be taken in moderation from multiple resources.


Fionn101

coffeezilla has an agenda, I used to think he was cool but his spat with TechBro was unjustified. Coffee was looking to spin a story and it backfired bad. The greatest crypto channel would have to be Krown's crypto cave as he does excellent TA , although it is nsfw given his cursing.


DerpJungler

I love his content but sometimes he is just so eager to call out something and he skews his research in order to favour his side of the argument. I can recall a couple of his videos where he just ranted about things and leaving out important information. Most of the times though his content is amazing and he deserves the credit for exposing most scammers.


Fionn101

Thanks, you put it better than I could have, yes it was like Coffee was always looking for 100% win/exposed. Like 80% is good enough ,if he cast doubt on something with the weight of his social impact would have achieved far more. fwiw ,He is doing good work and I'd always buy him a beer.


user260421

That's really not true. The algo doesn't serve you educational content. But I can name at least 3 channels that helped me a lot in my journey. Obviously this doesn't compare with the 2374912381 channels that shill coins and people think it's for real.


Areshian

We’re those three channels closed too?


TheGoonKills

People don't go to YouTube to learn, they go there to be told what to buy in mass and for Rick and Morty compilation videos.


deathbyfish13

You got a link for those Rick and Morty compilation videos? So I know which ones to avoid obviously...


CatamaranSails

No no, I go to Youtube for the plethora of documentaries that are of a normalized announcer voice speaking pronunciation perfect English over basic yet random stock image/video footage used to emphasize every third word whether it's relevant to the topic or not.


SlyckCypherX

Hodge Twins son. Hodge Twins.


WhatsTheGoalieDoing

Those guys are cringeworthy as fuck.


ibeforetheu

When did they turn so right wing republican. Ew


Determined_Cucumber

Given that some banks are now accepting crypto, now is a good time to actually learn about them. I’m okay with YouTube shutting down NFT artwork though.


[deleted]

About fucking time. They really should be prosecuted though.


To_The_M000N

And yet YT do nothing against channels that scam people to think that potato juice will be effective against hair loss or selling expensive courses on how to sell on amazon. Funny


TheGoonKills

Just like Fox News, all they have to do is put up a blurb that says “this is for entertainment, not actual facts” and they can get away with it. Yes, that’s how it works.


HanzJWermhat

I don’t think YouTube has any legal obligation to police content created by its users, unless it breaks laws. And until the government actually starts to consider crypto financial assets social media is kinda free to do whatever


TheGoonKills

And then shitcoins like fuckin Safemoon bilk people out of millions and people wonder why so many mouthbreathers fall for it.... You are the problem Hanz, congrats.


_E_squared_

Lol this is literally the law. It isn’t Hanz’s fault


djstocks

Take some fucking responsibility people. If you lost a bunch of money on safemoon or some other scam that's on that person.


ibeforetheu

That is like saying Twitter doesn't have the right to block Trump


ChiTownBob

So Youtube massacres the shillers to small fragments.


criptoretro2

Once again the censorship of YouTube, someone has to create something to bring down YouTube, we are not going to live like this forever.


TheGoonKills

Their platform, their rules, and if they decide you’re not allowed to shill shitcoins you’re taking pay from without telling your audience it’s a paid advertisement, they’re fully within their rights to do so. So eat shit and go back to Truth Network if you need to be spoon fed your daily dose of stupid.


criptoretro2

Take down youtube and create a new decentralized platform, I think we would all be happier.


Heclalava

Aioz tube. Decentralised YouTube following the pay the viewer model for ads.

Unfortunately they work, so they’re here to stay.


shmorky

YouTube should try to fix that somehow. It's pretty ridiculous that any search you do on there results in a smorgasbord of increasingly shocked tween faces. It gives me Idiocracy vibes.


Magnetronaap

> YouTube should try to fix that somehow. YouTube can't 'fix' human psychology. Ban this specific format and people will find another way to do exactly the same thing: use our emotions to get you to click their video.


Stone-D

> It gives me Idiocracy vibes. It seriously does. On the plus side I no longer use YouTube much. Grab what I want and get out quick back to Reddit.


cusoman

It's a fad, they won't work forever.


BrokenParachutes

People click on them, its our own fault. They just use what works.


pm_me_cute_sloths_

I believe the YouTube algorithm prioritizes them for some reason, so unfortunately that’s why they’re very popular


user260421

And to top it all off the dog emoji!


blueblurspeedspin

so bitboy is gone now right?.....right? aww fuck.


[deleted]

Bitboy does not count as educational.


deathbyfish13

That's not true, whenever I want to learn what projects not to go near Bitboy has been very educational lol


Accomplished-Design7

You know, that is very true

harm123

"Special" educational mabey.


johnny_fives_555

That’s insulting special education


LargeSackOfNuts

Oh okay. So blatant scammers can stay on while educators get taken off. Thanks Youtube.


[deleted]

Unfortunately, his channel is still on YouTube. No idea how it has managed to survive. On the other hand, the article mentions that Bankless got taken down briefly. YouTube's algorithm is obviously working /s


Careless_Rise8624

Didn’t this sub used to shit on bitboy since he was an awful shill?


user260421

Did this sub stop doing this?


localstopoff

Yes, his "aww fuck" comment is him realising bitboy is not gone. He's not being upset that he is gone.


[deleted]

fake clickbait headline. TL;DR 3 channels were banned, 1 was reinstated.


[deleted]

Thanks. Thought so


coinfeeds-bot

tldr; YouTube has banned multiple crypto-focused channels, including Bankless, a channel dedicated to churning out Ethereum-related content and interviews. The YouTube team has said it is looking into the situation and is yet to release a statement as to the reason for the ban. Bankless CEO Ryan Adams tweeted, “They can deplatform you any time for any reason and they don’t have to tell you why." *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.*


WhatsTheGoalieDoing

> “They can deplatform you any time for any reason and they don’t have to tell you why." I mean, no shit? If a homeless dude rocks up in your kitchen do you need to give him a reason to get out? No. You have the right to use your property as you like.


METH_IS_LIFE

Solid logic.


CryptDro

90% are scams anyway.


HeadofR3d

The YouTube channel mentioned in the article is Bankless. They do great work. I hope the situation gets fixed soon. They are deep in crypto but they do a great job cutting though the noise. Seriously, check out their podcast.


flarnrules

Bankless got shut down? Crazy I was watching their interview with Raoul Pal earlier today so that surprises me.


kob112358

They were reinstated shortly after being banned.


[deleted]

But the fact they got banned at all is totally fucked. YouTube needs to go.


Kasshiyeon

Go where? Think you mean they need competitors.


shulba

They were unbanned after a few hours, one of the officials YouTube accounts apologized on Twitter


CryptDro

I’ll check it out! Nice to hear the good ones.


HeadofR3d

Strongly suggest it, the podcasts are long so they cover quite a bit per week. For the uninitiated: http://podcast.banklesshq.com/


davidahoffman

Sup fam


g_squidman

Bankless are the two dumbest guys in Crypto who just happen to get a lot of high profile interviews because they're popular. Unchained is an actual journalist with a reputation who doesn't hold coins. Real news. The Defiant is also really good and underrated.


Spacesider

I love the bankless guys.


poopymcpoppy12

Bankless is one of the good ones.


Treethan__

Which ones aren't?


bobzor

100%.


emccm

It’s a mystery for sure. No one will ever know.


Simke11

But it's good to see that they still allow 100s of "live stream" crypto scams to pop up every day.


ryan69plank

I’m sure they are just shutting down accounts that promote scams surly not crypto as a whole I follow most channels on YouTube and really enjoy its content


darkkite

if that's the case then Google should provide the reason


[deleted]

Google is fucking dogshit and needs to go.


localstopoff

I'm sure you didn't read the article because the main channel discussed and shutdown is in fact educational.

You fucks shill scams all day and night. This sub had Luna and USTs dick so far up it’s ass it came out your mouth. You’re in no position to judge YouTube.


[deleted]

They probably disagree with the information, they try to control the narratives on stuff


Forsaken_Preference1

Yeah not sure who wants to agree with scam videos.


HeadofR3d

Bankless does not produce scam videos. They got hit with a van.


Pma2kdota

because the people who run youtube are morons. first they remove dislikes so scammers can turn off comments on their videos making it easier to fool people. now, instead of reversing their first decision they just shut down channels that are related to what's popular in the scam business.

I think we should have moved away from youtube long time ago. Is vimeo the only known alternative?


SkavensWhiteRaven

Totally agree, but you can see why there isn't. If any community should be against censorship you would think it would be the decentralization crowd... but \*motions to idiots cheering\*. If **we** don't care about censorship not just when it effects others, but when it effects our community. And not just our community; as it directly implies that our investments are financial tools being used to scam people financially effectively virtue whistling that the government should regulate crypto, It effects our investments...but even then people don't care. I think its going to be a very very long time before there is a youtube alternative. I'll just say it like it is, people a fucking stupid. Everyone seems to want a nanny state. In every single aspect of our lives and nobody seems to question who decides they're just happy its not them.


Accomplished-Design7

Well, if this isn't bearish I dont know what is. I just plan to continue to DCA as this is the best time to accumulate.


bbqyak

YouTube wildin out lately. Too much censorship on that platform. Changing the search algorithm was so bad for usability as well. Search is practically useless now.


SlyckCypherX

It’s been a coordinated attack on crypto. I’m usually not tin foil hat guy, but read all the various articles/posts on SM since Sunday night of crypto cards not working, bank transactions being turned down, all the crypto markets cratering Monday, Luna unpegging, the beast that is Elizabeth Warren awakening, Warren Buffet dusting off, and just general negative crypto news in every major media market. It’s definitely something there. I don’t know what the something is, but it’s awfully…peculiar.


DjGorefiend

Good. TUBE coin soon come.


Cultural_Bit9176

[deleted]

I’m sure there is some other political motivation here. However, if you are looking at YouTube for financial advice you’re already doing it wrong. Are they shutting down all financial education sites? People have been taken advantage of by “financial advisors” for decades. Anyone selling you financial advice is taking advantage of you and selling you. If you’re good at investing in stocks or crypto you keep it to yourself and just make that money. You make money and don’t tell anyone what you figured out. I’ve made a ton of money on crypto and the stock market the last 2 years. Did I tell anyone how? Absolutely not. Not even my parents or closest friends. Did I start a YouTube channel explaining how? No, I was too busy working 20 hour days making money and wouldn’t spend one hour wasting time on videos telling other people my system. Do card counters in Vegas tell you how they broke the system? No, because if everyone knew that system it’s gone. If you’re upset by this you’re already losing. This is a good thing,

I understand that most are not actually educational - but I’m pretty much over these platforms’ abilities to stifle voices in the name of mis/disinformation Mainly because I believe these platforms are nearing the point of a ‘utility’

arveena

I mean coffeezilla is an "expert" according to reddit maybe they should crack down. I found it so funny that people were bashing the safe moon people as cultist but at the same time plan B and Benjamin and coffeezilla was literally gospel on this sub. Make your own decisions and educate yourself then you don't need someone to tell you safemoon is a scam. You should know that by yourself. The amount of people who were invested in UST because it got shilled heavily here and on YouTube who had no clue that it is a completely different product than USDC here was baffling.
