 KYC number five, know your channel to keep your channel safe. Today we go over three new rules that we've learned have caused YPP suspensions. We will go over specific channels explaining what we feel is right and wrong about them, which ones we've unlinked and which ones YouTube has suspended from YPP so that you can learn from these practices and keep your channel safe. Let's go. What's wrong with this video behind me? Well, if you ask a typical male, probably nothing. Let's zoom in a little to get the deep... No, I'm just kidding. The issue with this channel is he's uploading a variety of music and music videos that don't belong to him. This is a full music video that's uploaded to the channel. And if we look at the video description, it simply reads promotion only not for sale. This is not being used with permission for commercial purposes. Here is another video. This one seems okay. It's just gameplay, which is a little strange to be mixed in with all the music videos. Here is another music video, a full length video. And if we look at the description again, it says promotion use only not for sale. All material in this video is strictly for promotional purposes only. All rights are reserved to the artist and their respective record labels. This is not permission. And if you are doing this on your channel guys, stop. And here's why. Here are the three new rules behind me that we will focus on in this episode. Which of these applies to the channel you just saw? Is it misleading titles or metadata to increase views? A channel is out of compliance, which means there is a good chance it will be YPP suspended or terminated. If it's using titles or tags or stuffing keywords into the video description in order to increase views, don't do that. The YouTube team will not ever share specifics about your violations, but they do recommend you follow the best practices for metadata as outlined in the Help Center article. The links to all these are down there in the description below. Or was this channel guilty of video spam? A channel is out of compliance due to video spam means 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. This deals not just with uploading videos that are boring and repetitive and the same content over and over again, but as well just commenting on other people's channels. Hey go watch my channel here. That's called spam guys. YouTube is now flagging that as an offense and that may get your channel suspended or terminated. Or is it duplication? A channel's out of compliance due to duplication when in most cases you can't re-upload someone else's content unless you get permission first. Remember it's not enough to credit the content owner or state no copyright infringement is intended or only for promotional purposes only. Learn more about copyright and fair use and here's some examples that are subject to copyright. This channel was guilty of duplication. Now DJ Stefky, if we made a mistake and you actually have written permission for commercial purposes meaning to monetize these videos then email support at freedom.tm and we will fix our mistake. Right now from all we can tell in your video description is you're uploading these videos to promote the music but you don't have that permission from the original artist or the record label. What's wrong with this channel Zalan? Well obviously the channel has no videos. It has 6,773 subscribers and if we look at the about page and translate it to English then it says I'm 14 years old I do all sorts of videos. We had to unlink this channel guys because we don't see the content we don't know if this is a good or bad actor and if we don't know we have to err on the side of caution and unlink. So again Mr. 14 year old if we've made a mistake and you do have good content just email support at freedom.tm. What about this video behind me from the Breaking News Today channel let me play a clip. Okay now have a look at this link the source link if I go there wedding from hell queens dire warning after Megan pulls last minute nasty surprise now let's see if that's just a title they're reading so this article starts with the big royal nuptials has turned into the wedding from hell let's play the video the big royal nuptials has turned into the wedding from hell thanks to Prince Harry's famous fiancee queen Elizabeth the second was forced to issue a dire warning so you get the idea this is plagiarism also a form of duplication what this channel does is they take articles from other websites and simply use a text to speech converter with some relevant imagery it's not the imagery that's the issue it is the copy of the text that is being read youtube actually suspended this channel giving them a ypp suspension abuse event and the reason was because of duplication what about this channel behind me Babado TV the issue is the upload frequency nine hours ago nine hours ago 10 hours ago three days ago these are burst uploads and we unlink the channel because we felt it is doing video spam where it's posting large amounts of content now is it untargeted unwanted is it repetitive content let's see roll it so this is another text to speech converter similar to the previous channel we feel he is simply copying someone else's text and reading it through these videos if we made a mistake mr channel owner email support at freedom.tm and we're happy to correct it but we do believe this is video spam and duplication what about this video behind me on the disney pixar cars channel roll it at first glance looks okay it's just gameplay with kids toys the issue is a little harder to spot let me fast forward so you can see what i mean doesn't look familiar the point of this video is they're trying to teach colors and they're doing so by repeating the same models with this time yellow pins from bowling and at the beginning it was red blocks this is called templated content youtube does not want repetitive templated content we're using the same models just changing colors and calling it teaching colors for kids we actually thought initially this was okay but youtube told us that it is not and any kids channels that are uploading templated content it's something you can't do anymore why is that remember youtube's focus in 2018 is content quality is repetitive templated content good quality no that's why youtube is now decided that this kind of content is no longer loud on the platform and channels need to clean it up delete those videos or they run the risk of being suspended and we will unlink channels for this kind of content what about tobias daemon behind me this is another example of a channel that uploads a lot of videos look 21 hours ago 22 hours ago 22 hours ago there is so many uploads and if you look at the videos themselves what are they they're very similar gameplay videos with no commentary and just showing what looks like mobile games this is another example of repetitive unwanted content that doesn't have any unique value between each video so we unlink the channel it hasn't received an abuse event from youtube but we believe it is only a matter of time now in the past i know people uploaded many videos for example in a let's play but not like five an hour you need to spend some production time creating videos even if you're doing a live stream and you cut it up into like 30 minutes segments you're not going to be uploading them this quickly so it's okay to upload good content a lot of it as long as it isn't repetitive templated or basically the same kind of video over and over again i hope the tips in these kyc videos help keep your channel safe click that i in case you missed any of the other episodes of the kyc series and tell me down there in the comments below what you think are there any specific channels you would like us to review send us links do you have any specific questions about what is considered okay or not okay ask them in the comments below and we'll do our best to answer these three new rules are actually not new rules they are just now becoming strictly enforced misleading titles and metadata video spam and duplication have always been something you shouldn't be doing on your channel and it's just now that youtube is cracking the whip and suspending channels terminating channels and now we are on linking channels specifically for these abuse events so i hope this helps and we'll keep doing this series because you've told me you really like it and i want to share with
