Is YouTube Purging Pickup Artist YouTube Channels Again?
I received a lot of messages from various dating coaches and YouTubers in the industry asking if other YouTube channels will be affected… We all got those 2019 flashbacks, when YouTube started taking down crazy amounts of infield videos.
My original channel was one of the channels taken down in 2019, during my dispute with Real Social Dynamics. And thus, I didn’t create infield videos because I had no channel in the first place, and infield was a very sensitive thing on YouTube at the time.
However, YouTube is actually softening various policies…
In the same week that John Anthony Lifestyle was removed from YouTube, I was in 5 meetings with YouTube. It would have been 6, but I was ill for one of them. Several of these meetings involved YouTube policy, and one of the heads of YouTube’s policy teams informed me of some very interesting things.
The only thing I can probably get away with saying is that YouTube has softened its monetization policy with profanity. Ultimately, YouTube tries to understand from its advertiser partners what advertisers are comfortable with and not comfortable with when advertising on YouTube’s platform. It turns out, advertisers don’t give a shit about profanity. So YouTube has now changed its profanity policy so that saying ‘fuck’ in the first 7 seconds doesn’t take you down a monetization tier.
Thus, based on my YouTube insider information, you don’t really have to worry. YouTube is not on a pickup artist or infield crackdown. What happened to John Anthony Lifestyle is not going to happen to other channels, unless other channels violate serious YouTube Policy.
Either way, we built the Infield Hub to safeguard the pickup artist industry’s infield footage. Reach out if you would like to get involved and feature your infield footage on it.
Why Did John Anthony Lifestyle Get Terminated From YouTube?
When YouTube bans channels, various things are taken into consideration, such as privacy complaints, policy violations and hatefulness of content in general. Their words, not mine.
All of which apply…
However, the Harassment & Cyberbullying Policies were probably a key part. Several examples within this policy are very interesting, if you know what I mean…
- ‘Repeatedly targets, insults and abuses an identifiable individual based on their intrinsic attributes across several uploads.’
- ‘Creates content that harms the YouTube community by persistently inciting hostility between creators for personal financial gain.’
- ‘Repeatedly showing pictures of someone and then making statements like “Look at this creature’s teeth, they’re so disgusting!”, with similar commentary targeting intrinsic attributes throughout the video.’
- ‘Using an extreme insult to dehumanize an individual based on their intrinsic attributes. For example: “Look at this dog of a woman! She’s got the face of an animal and her body is mangy, just like a dog’s!”’
- ‘Depicting an identifiable individual being murdered or seriously injured. For example: A video includes a clip from a movie, where one character is brutally shot and killed. The video is edited so that a real individual’s photo is placed over the actor’s face.’
‘We may terminate your channel or account for repeated violations of the Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. We may also terminate your channel or account after a single case of severe abuse, or when the channel is dedicated to a policy violation.’
Some people have circulated rumors that mass reporting is what got the channel terminated. But that doesn’t actually cause channels to be terminated. That’s really not how it works.
Is John Anthony Lifestyle Able To Return To YouTube?
Technically speaking, yes. But one does not simply appeal a terminated YouTube channel and return. It is extremely rare and difficult. I was able to bring back two of my own channels in the past, and it was not easy, and certainly took a very long time to happen.
Any other channel created after being terminated will just result in also being terminated from YouTube when reported. So any ‘backup’ channels won’t last.
According to YouTube Channel Or Account Terminations… ‘If your YouTube channel is terminated, you are prohibited from using, possessing, or creating any other YouTube channels.’
