The latest strike on the popular crypto YouTuber comes less than a month after receiving a strike that restricted him from posting videos for a week and from streaming for three months.
Pro Blockchain, a Russian educational YouTube channel, received a similar strike last week after posting a video analyzing Bitcoin’s price. The video, according to a screengrab posted by the channel, seems to have violated YouTube’s harmful or dangerous content policy.
