 What's up freedom family? Welcome back to another episode of the KYC Nullified. I hope you guys are doing great Today we will be discussing a lot of policies in one go. So freedom family, are you ready? Of course you are Yana, please drop my thumb. We will be talking about spam deceptive policies and scam policies There are different categories under this guideline and we will tackle each one of them in order to understand each category We must first dive into the basics of spam. This is what spam is according to YouTube It's not okay to post large amounts of untargeted unwanted or repetitive content in videos, comments, private messages, or other places on the site If the main purpose of your content is to drive people off of YouTube and onto another site, it will likely violate our spam policies It's not okay to post large amounts of repetitive and or re-uploaded videos to your channel If the main purpose of your channel is to monetize other channels content, it will likely violate our spam policies Now that we know what spam is, let's discuss these categories First one up is artificial traffic spam. Anything that artificially increases the number of views, likes, comments, or other metric Either through the use of automatic systems or by serving up videos to unsuspecting viewers is against our terms Additionally, content that solely exists to incentivize viewers for engagement, views, likes, comments, etc is prohibited Videos and accounts that we found in violation of our terms may be terminated and removed from YouTube Be aware that if you hire someone to promote your channel, their decisions may impact your channel Any method that violates our terms of service can result in a video or channel takedown Whether it's an action taken by you or someone else you hired Following that is misleading metadata Metadata refers to any and all additional information provided on a video This includes the title, description, tags, annotations, and thumbnail The reason we have metadata is so that you can add additional contextual information to your videos Please do not use these features to game or trick our search algorithm All metadata should be representative of the content contained in your videos Among other things, metadata added in an attempt to game search algorithms will lead to the removal of your video And a strike against your account Another form of misleading content is misleading or racy thumbnails Please select the thumbnail that best represents your content Selecting a sexually provocative thumbnail may result in a removal of your thumbnail or the age restriction of your video The thumbnail is the title card that will be shown next to your videos across the site and should be appropriate for all ages This one is dangerous and no one should do this Let's talk about scams Some users create content which attempts to trick others for their own financial gain Content that deliberately tries to mislead users for financial gain may be removed And in some cases, strikes may be issued to the uploader Last and the most heavy category is blackmail and extortions YouTube has zero tolerance policy for extortions and or blackmail If someone has recorded a sexually exploitative video for you and has sent the link Please flag this content immediately for removal and contact your local law enforcement Okay, now we're done with that I know that you're asking yourselves No, how can you break it down? Well, I would say I got you It is not good to upload several videos that are untargeted, unwanted or repetitive content And this rule applies also for comments and private messages In addition to this, content that drives people off of YouTube can also be considered as spam Now there are different types of spam The first one is artificial traffic spam This kind of spam is they use bots or automated systems to increase their views, their comments, their likes And other metrics that affects their ranking of their videos The second one is misleading metadata Do not abuse these metadata features Because if you overwhelm the system with additional metadata in your title, video descriptions, annotations, tags and thumbnails It will result to the removal of your video and it will have a strike on your channel The third one in our list is misleading or racy thumbnails If you're making your own custom thumbnails, that's good But always remember that your thumbnails should be related to your videos Also, if you put up sexually provocative thumbnails, YouTube will remove those thumbnails and age-restrict your videos The fourth one is scam Do not make content that is supposed to trick other people for your own financial gain If you have these kinds of contents, YouTube will remove those videos The fifth one is blackmail or extortion Freedom Family, this one is in the red area of YouTube YouTube does not have any tolerance for these kinds of content If you have sexually exploitative content, please, I urge you to delete them and never speak of them again There you go Freedom Family, that was quite a challenge, but we pulled it off I hope you guys enjoyed and learned something from their rule of thumb Because the next one up is KYC, The Nulled Edition Let's go Our first partner is Dimes Hey there, how are you? I hope you're doing great Let's take a look at your channel By the looks of your channel, you have a lot of NBA games and Call of Duty games And I'm guessing that you are really very passionate about video games Great, let's take a look at your videos In this video, it seems like you're just shooting around, practicing for maybe a 1v1 from your friends And there's nothing particularly wrong with your videos But if you look in the video description, you'll see there's a lot of metadata tags If you abuse the metadata feature, YouTube will remove your videos because of it Let's look at another video Just like the first video, in this video you're having fun with your friends Having a 2v2 with your friends And maybe having a competition with them to see who's the best basketball player That's good, but when you look at your video descriptions, you can see a lot of metadata tags Again, you're not allowed to abuse the metadata feature because if you do, your videos will be removed And we do not want that All in all, I have seen 3 or more videos that abuse the metadata feature Please do not abuse the metadata feature because if you do, YouTube will remove your videos And we do not want that So I'm sorry, but I have to rate your channel as... At risk The next one is live ads Hey there, what's up? How are you? I hope you're doing great I see that your channel is mostly about creating music and making awesome beats That's great, let's take a look at your video There is particularly nothing wrong with the video But if you go to the video description, you'll see a lot of metadata tags Which is not allowed by YouTube Let's look at another video Okay, in this video you are showcasing your DJ skills, which is great But if you go into the video descriptions, there's a lot of metadata tags You are not allowed to abuse this feature because if you do, your videos will be removed by YouTube I like that you're making your own beat, creating your own music and building a portfolio for yourself But if you continue to abuse the metadata feature, your videos will be removed by YouTube And we do not want that All in all, I would say that your channel is good But I'm sorry, I have to rate your channel as...
