 Hi guys, just a few quick updates. I apologize for the low production value of this episode of The George Show, but I didn't have time to edit it and this is important. Don't put spam into your tags. We've now seen a lot of channels. 100,000 plus subscribers get shut down instantly just because they are adding spam into their video description. They do things like put random key words in the hopes of getting higher search results in Grand Theft Auto videos, in Assassin's Creed videos, and there's a new group called Spam404.com which is flagging these videos and while Spam404 doesn't actually shut those channels down, the flagging brings the channel to YouTube's attention and YouTube is shutting these down. They are agreeing that this is spam and they find like 20 videos that have the spam and they give you 20 strikes and you get shut down. So it's none of this one strike, wait a few weeks so that you can fix the problem and then you're safe. You actually go from zero strikes to 20 strikes or so and you get shut down. Of course, you only need three strikes. So if your channel is not shut down and you're using spam in your video description, go right now into every single video and delete any irrelevant spammy information from your video description right now. I'm not joking you. I'm not joking with you. If you want to have your channel, we've seen channels go literally from, hey, I'm going down for dinner and I come back up and my channel is closed, terminated, gone. Now we've asked for appeals and there is a form and I'll talk about that in the Real George show which is properly edited to explain this. There will be a link to a form that you can use to appeal a decision but so far none of the channels that have used it that we've seen have gotten restored. So end of the day, this is a big, big deal. You shouldn't have been doing it in the first place, of course, but of course since nothing happens people tend to do things as long as nothing bad happens to them but now something bad is happening, really bad. So tell me in the comments below what you think about this behavior, what you think about spam404.com and if this has happened to you, tell us in the comments below so others who may not be believing me may believe you if this has happened to you because we don't want it to happen to anybody else. Of course, we want everyone to be safe on YouTube. We want everyone to grow and this is just a really big deal. You don't want to lose years of work just because you were trying to game the system with a few more views by adding spammy things into your video description. So I hope you take my warning and fix everything in your channel and I'll be back with a Real George show episode soon. Alright, thanks guys. Take care. My name is George, founder of Freedom and you've been watching the unedited George show.
