I have mixed feelings about the streaming hype since the beginning...
There's only a handful of streamers from here and elsewhere that i 'support', the ones taken down, as stated above, aren't on that list
I checked, and my Dutch youtube literally says: this account has been terminated due to repeated or serious violations of the Youtube policies against spam, misleading practices and misleading content, or other violations of the Terms of Service..
Not that generic i think: I don't know the terms of service myself, but from reading content here in the past, i know they don't appreciate affiliate links in general...and with the latest developments around responsible gambling, stricter enforcing of those policies seems like a logical step...
I'm sure the 'good guys' will remain online for now, provided they have updated their gambling related content with the 18+ trademark and links to RG related pages..
I personally think it's a good development, although i would assume they make their new or stricter policies clear, to long-standing channels, at least giving them the necessary time to update and/or remove content to adhere to those policies and terms.
