"TheRichest" Youtube account been terminated
Curious if anyone knows why "TheRichest" Youtube channel got terminated?

For those that don't know, "TheRichest" is meant to be the world's leading source of shocking and intriguing content surrounding celebrities, money, global events, society, pop culture, sports and more.

It had a subscriber count of 6 million+

Comes up "This account has been terminated due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy against spam, deceptive practices, and misleading content or other Terms of Service violations". So what where they doing?

Their videos are such things like:
- 10 Mind-Blowing Facts About President TRUMP'S Vehicle
- Top videogames coming out this year
- 15 Dark FanTheories About Cartoons That Will Change How You See Them
- The Strictest Schools For Kids
- 15 Things You Didn’t Know About TheSimpsons’ Ned Flanders.
(etc)

I'm not quite sure how they managed to get themselves terminated, when there's other Youtube channels such as "LeafyIsHere" which are seriously breaking the terms all the time and gets off free.

So what happened? Anyone knows?

I try not to think too much about it, as trying to understand YouTube's logic gives me a headache.

Youtube obviously didn't want people finding out Ned's darkest secrets.

I'm currently assuming it was due to some single famous celebrity reporting them due to a news story about them or something? Because I don't see any other reason why they would be reported? Really confusing...

The title of those videos are clickbait to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ max so he probably deserved it.

How are those titles clickbait?

15 facts about such and such... then the video contains 15 facts about it.

Have you ever seen clickbait on Youtube? That hardly compares to clickbait.

This. Since videos can be reported for being clickbait, as they should if they are.

Doesn't look closed to me. Their video seem to work just fine on Youtube.

Maybe that one was a fake account?

Oh wow, it's back up! I guess they resolve whatever it was, but that was crazy.

ps: It was the real account too which was affected, as it had the 6 million subs on it and same URL.

YouTube is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, don't even bother questioning when this happens. It's stupid and annoying but they don't give a ♥♥♥♥...

Hate fuels clickbait.

Someone should make a top 10 top 10 videos video.

I don't think you guys have seen actual clickbait on Youtube...

For example: LeafyIsHere
(still using as an example, since he's broken every single Youtube Term multiple times, and I don't really go out of my way to find others)

Video titled for example:
Little Gay Boy KILLS HIMSELF After Someone Comments "You're Gay lol" on YouTube

If that isn't actual clickbait, then I don't know what clickbait is.
