It is a question that has been roiling the internet for months now. Some people wonder if sub for sub is illegal, while others are adamantly opposed. In this article, we&#8217;ll look at some of the issues surrounding the practice, including the potential penalties for violating YouTube&#8217;s policies on nudity and sexual content. This is an important question to ask, because the answer will ultimately determine the future of this type of content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sub_for_sub_groups\"><\/span>Sub for sub groups<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Is Sub for sub groups on YouTube illegal? It is. YouTube has explicit rules about the use of content, and violating those rules can get you banned for life. While you may not be aware of them, this practice can negatively impact the ranking of your videos. So, if you think you might be violating one of these rules, stop it now. It will only lead to more trouble for you later. If you&#8217;re unsure, contact a copyright attorney.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Violations_of_YouTubes_Community_Guidelines\"><\/span>Violations of YouTube&#8217;s Community Guidelines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In November 2019, YouTube suspended a channel called House YouTube for violating its hate speech policies. In the video, Rick Wiles accused Jews of orchestrating Trump&#8217;s first impeachment. YouTube suspended the channel, but not before it faced multiple third-party claims. The channel also posted videos of a disabled person drinking booze and engaging in fights with viewers. Several people have reported the channel, including YouTube itself, and there&#8217;s been a lot of talk about whether or not the community guidelines were being violated.<\/p>\n<p>The Community Guidelines on YouTube are very specific about what types of content are allowed and not. Unlike most social media platforms, YouTube is not a pornographic site, so recording in a bikini or performing dangerous challenges is illegal. Videos that promote violence, illegality, or racism are prohibited. If the video violates these guidelines, you may lose your subs. However, YouTube does not penalize first-time violators. In severe cases, it can issue a strike against your channel. If the violation persists for 90 days, your channel will be terminated.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Possible_penalties_for_violating_YouTubes_policy_on_nudity_or_sexual_content\"><\/span>Possible penalties for violating YouTube&#8217;s policy on nudity or sexual content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Violations of YouTube&#8217;s policy on nudity and\/or sexual content can result in a number of different penalties, from a warning to permanent bans. For example, if you upload videos of a baby pooping in diapers, you may face a fine of up to $15,000 and be permanently banned. YouTube may also suspend your account or limit your video views, depending on how many views you get a day.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube&#8217;s community guidelines for adult content and nudity have changed. A recent update to these guidelines will make them even more stringent. YouTube has also introduced a new feature called &#8220;Strikes&#8221;, which will ban you from posting or streaming videos for a longer period of time. You will be banned from uploading videos and live streaming for 90 days if you have received two strikes in 90 days. If you receive a third strike in that same time frame, YouTube will shut down your channel.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Increase_in_strictness_of_comment_moderation_tools\"><\/span>Increase in strictness of comment moderation tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube creators have been vocal about the recent uptick in spam on the site, and the latest addition to comment moderation tools has added even more rigor. In a recent video, Marques Brownlee voiced his frustration at the influx of &#8220;out of control&#8221; spam comments. The &#8220;increase in strictness&#8221; feature is a welcome improvement, and it will soon be available to everyone tired of the nuisance.<\/p>\n<p>The new system also allows creators to limit the number of characters in their channel name. It also lets creators place inappropriate comments in up to 100 languages under the new &#8220;Held for review&#8221; tab. Channels have up to 60 days to review comments, but they must approve them manually. To ensure that legitimate comments are approved, creators can turn on the &#8220;Increase in strictness&#8221; feature in their channel settings.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"258\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qh0NhsDeBqs\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"461\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Sub For Sub on YouTube Illegal?
