YouTube, the place where your cat’s dance videos and my ex’s conspiracy theories coexist in peace, has just announced a new policy that’s making crypto and NFT creators everywhere scream into the void. Starting November 17, they’re treating online gambling with digital goods that have real money value as… wait, what’s the definition of “gambling” here? Is watching a video about NFTs considered a slot machine? 🎰
According to a user named Space (who I assume is a space alien, because who else would know this stuff?), YouTube’s new rules are going to hit blockchain, NFT, and web3 gaming content harder than a toddler at a buffet. The platform now thinks any gameplay involving staking, betting, or trading digital items for money is “gambling.” So, if your video shows someone winning or losing digital assets, expect it to be taken down, age-restricted, or maybe just ignored by everyone except your grandma. 🧓
YouTube is BANNING CRYPTO & NFTs starting November 17
But not fully.
Youtube just changed its rules, and it’s going to DIRECTLY impact blockchain, NFT, and web3 gaming content across Youtube and Google
YouTube now classifies “online gambling with digital goods that have…
And if you’re making a tutorial on how to mint an NFT or connect a wallet, YouTube is now your overbearing aunt who thinks you’re about to get scammed. 🤡 Plus, videos promoting NFT drops or marketplaces might break YouTube’s ad and gambling policies. In short, even if you’re not running a casino, you could still get penalized if your content involves digital assets with real money value. Because nothing says “fun” like being accused of running a Ponzi scheme for showing how to buy a crypto token. 🤯
YouTube will also start putting age limits on videos that show casino-style games like slots or roulette, even if no real money is used. This move comes after growing worries about fake or misleading promotions on the platform. Oh, and don’t even get me started on the fake Nvidia keynote stream. Someone used AI to create a deepfake of Jensen Huang promoting a “crypto mass adoption event.” I’m not sure if it’s a scam or a new tech conference. Either way, the QR code was probably a phishing link. 🚨
YouTube also announced a “second chance” for banned creators, allowing them to start fresh. But without their old videos, subscribers, or monetization. It’s like being exiled from a party and then being told, “You can come back, but you’ll have to start over. And no one will remember you.” 🎭
This move shows that big tech is getting tougher on crypto content. So, NFT creators, Web3 gamers, and influencers, be careful what you post. Or, you know, just keep your videos about cats and baking. That’s always a safe bet. 🐱🎂
