YouTube removed over 5.6 million videos globally for violating its community guidelines. YouTube removed over 5 million channels in Q3 2022 for violating their Community Guidelines. YouTube Deletes Nearly 1.7 million videos for Violating Guidelines YouTube was one of the first social media platforms that came up along with Twitter and Facebook in the mid-2000s when the social media revolution to the entire world by storm. These three platforms continue to prosper despite being in business for more than 17 years with all of them having billions of subscribers each and counting, which is a testimony to their long lasting legacy. YouTube has strict user policy that each and every subscriber has to adhere to, along with the terms and conditions that you need to follow if you want to become YouTuber, while those who don’t adhere to its community guidelines have to pay the price. The same happened some days back when the now Google-owned platform removed more than 1.7 million videos which had violated the norms and guidelines as per its Q3 (third quarter) report. Aside from these, the streaming platform has also removed more than 5.6 million videos at a global level for the same violations. The Community Guidelines Report has confirmed that nearly 94% of said videos were flagged by machines rather than human beings. Apparently all the channels that had their videos deleted violated spam policies, which included serious offenses like misleading metadata or thumbnails, video, scams, and comments spams, etc. due to which YouTube had to delete more than 730 million comments in Q3 2022, as most of them were spam. It seems that YouTube is in the process of cleaning up its site from unscrupulous elements that have been creating a nuisance for so long that is also seriously affecting its reputation, especially with people of older age groups. Around 36% videos were removed before they got even a single view, while 31% of them had received between 1 to 10 views prior to their removal, and more than 67% of the violative videos on the streaming platform were deleted before their views reached even 10. The comments were detected automatically before being removed from the site and comprised of more than 99% because YouTube has strict community guidelines that set the rules for what is allowed and, more importantly, what is not allowed on the platform.
