So, YouTube banned a whole bunch of people's accounts for spamming emojis in one of Markiplier's livestreams......

Thoughts?


Markiplier was having his fans vote on stuff in the livestream by putting either red or green emojis in chat, and YouTube banned/deleted some of their accounts. One guy appealed his and won, then was banned again within 30 MINUTES for no reason. Also, YouTube tweeted there was nothing they could do about it.

If I need to, I'll link Markiplier's response video

Not really, they were just participating in a stream thing which Markiplier asked them to do, and their Google/YouTube accounts were suspended or banned. Imagine going to vote in your country, then the FBI/Interpol shows up and arrests you when all you did was vote legally.

Still though, the amount of emojis you see on YouTube streams has been astronomical over the last few years. There are limits to how much you can post and I'm sure spamming those emojis was what caused them to get banned in the first place.

Youtube is weird now, pre Youtube 2006 was the best.

True, though banning entire Google accounts is a bit too far. People have reached out to YouTube support only for them to reply that there's nothing that can be done except appeal, except those appeals are insta-denied or won and reversed within very little time. Markiplier hasn't even gotten a reply back from YouTube about the incident either.

Probably well deserved. Just cause a youtuber tells someone to break the rules and they think it's fine to break the rules just because a youtuber said it was ok. So the bans seem legit to me.

Youtube is a corrupt cancer of the internet and I wish more people would stop using it.

I mean, I don't really use Twitch to watch streams and I've used YouTube for... 13 years now?

I looked at the guidelines and it says that spam isn't okay but doesn't make any clarifications towards emoji spam, only spam with the intent to deceive or gain personal info from viewers. And, according to the guidelines, YouTube gives 3 strikes before terminating an account.

Twitch has competition with Mixer, so they have a reason to do better with their creators and viewers. YouTube doesn't, so it treats all of them like crap sometimes.

Because it should be made aware that YouTube is doing this. People's entire Google accounts are being banned, which means their Gmail, Google Play, and other stuff ends up gone. And all because of too many emojis in a livestream chat. Who knows where it's gonna stop, maybe they'll ban accounts for commenting the wrong thing underneath a video or whatever else would be stupid to get banned for.
