Crypto enthusiasts freaked out following the latest news that Tone Vays hit them with.
Bitcoin and crypto analyst Tone Vays said that his YouTube account had been terminated.
He said that his account was taken down shortly after he received a warning on one of his videos.
Tone Vays banned from YouTube?
Vays made sure to alert his 210k followers on Twitter and it seemed that the home of his YouTube channel was displaying a 404 Not Found error.
BANNED by @Youtube 😢. This Morning’s Video was removed for being “Harmful & Dangerous Content”. Hope @TeamYouTube can take a look as this has happened to me in the past & these videos were found to be compliant :(. Almost 100K subs. @ytcreators https://t.co/qRBQGzfO7e pic.twitter.com/xbZngkoyBx

I highly doubt any review by @TeamYouTube took place as the @YouTube channel got taken down an hour after the initial warning and 30 minutes after my appeal. But if this it for my @ytcreators channel, then it is what it is, was fun while it lasted 😭 pic.twitter.com/fP5QdTMZob

A lot of people hopped online in support of Vays and asked YouTube to resolve the issue.
It seems that more and more crypto supporters on YouTube have reported an increasing number of issues on the platform in recent months with videos being removed and channels getting strikes without any warning.
Whether or not you like @ToneVays is irrelevant. This is pretty brutal. I worry every day about all my educational content being purged from @YouTube at the drop of a hat. I also got a warning this morning on some random news video I did in 2019. https://t.co/gwFSknACnb

Tone made sure to thank YouTube and everyone who helped.
I want to personally thank all my followers & #Bitcoin(ers) that helped make this happen. You were the ones that got my channel back. Special thanks to those that made content to spread the word: @TheMoonCarl @crypt0snews & publication like @Cointelegraph @Crypto_Potato @ForkLog
