YouTube: Accounts Can Be Deleted if ‘No Longer Commercially Viable’
November 13th, 2019Via: PC Magazine:
YouTube’s attempt to explain when it can terminate your account has led to confusion among its most prolific users. The Google-owned video platform chose a curious way to explain it, implying that YouTube can delete your account if your videos alienate advertisers.
“YouTube may terminate your access, or your Google account’s access to all or part of the Service if YouTube believes, in its sole discretion, that provision of the Service to you is no longer commercially viable,” reads the change to YouTube’s Terms of Service, which will go into effect Dec. 10.
The “no longer commercially viable” wording has the vlogging crowd worried that YouTube is empowering itself to shut down niche video channels that mainstream advertisers don’t like.
