Simply Bitcoin Banned From YouTube For Using Too Many Saylor Thumbnails

The creators of Simply Bitcoin found themselves cut off mid stream and their YouTube channel shut down this morning. They quickly scrambled to find the reason why, only seeing an email from YouTube stating that their channel was cut off for breaking community guidelines. The email did not state what community guidelines they broke, but after the team thoroughly read through them for the first time, they saw a clause saying that channels can only use up to 6 Michael Saylor thumbnails a month.

The small independent media company had been using sometimes up to 16 Saylor thumbnails a month, severely breaking the stringent community guidelines that often change on a dime. Why YouTube has chosen to restrict how often people can feature one of the biggest advocates for Bitcoin NGU is unknown, but Simply Bitcoin's banning, and lack of clarity or communication on why is an issue many other content creators have struggled with.

Many content creators build entire businesses around producing high quality video content on the CIA controlled platform, only to have their businesses completely turned upside down overnight by seemingly arbitrary decisions with very limited communication from the moderators of the platform. Whether or not someone actually went and counted how many Saylor thumbnails they used, or if they found the old episode of Richard Greaser talking about giving cigarettes to children (Another banned topic on the platform) is unknown.

This author (One of the world's premiere credentialed journalists) can only justify that YouTube found that Simply Bitcoin was being effective at spreading the message that Bitcoin has already won, challenging the business models of low value advertising. They might have also been targeted as the channel's following had one of the largest demographics of people using Ad Blockers, rendering YouTube's ability to monetize their blood sweat and tears useless.

All of this brings into question the morality of using too many Saylor thumbnails, but more importantly, the challenges of navigating content creation in which certain platforms have near monopolies and can arbitrarily make or break individual's careers based off arbitrary parameters which often appear to be intentionally vague.
