On December 23, 2019, Google’s YouTube.com began removing bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies related content from the video-sharing platform in what’s being called a “crypto-purge,” leaving content creators in the bitcoin and cryptocurrency vertical unjustly attacked by the web-search conglomerate. According to Forbes, at least 35 crypto-focused YouTube channels were affected by the purge, including ChrisDunnTV, Nugget News, Crypto Tips, and BTC Sessions. More prominent publishers such as CoinTelegraph and CNBC, appear to have been spared. I have found this info here https://techandmedialaw.com/youtube-content-creators-in-bitcoin-genre-red-flagged-was-it-an-error/  but I need more clarification, what actually happened by Youtube?.
They actually punished channels that talked about crypto and promoted it. This is really crazy and I'm really angry to hear this. I am also one of the fans of ChrisDunnTV and I listen to news and analysis every day there. This really made me feel empty and felt the prohibition of YouTube was quite unreasonable. it's just videos that talk about what's going on every day and they didn't do anything wrong. Should we counteract this adjustment of Youtube?
