One of the videos they striked him on was an unlisted video with 5 views comparing the speed of Grayjay vs NewPipe.... YouTube is really digging for stuff

Does he actually say anything in these videos that unambiguously violates the youtube guidelines?

  The unlisted video has no audio I believe. Just a screen recording of him opening the two apps

    That's against YouTube's terms of service? No silent videos allowed?! Edit: I think I misunderstood, you're just pointing out that he didn't say anything at all, competitive or otherwise. It got my attention because I have some silent videos that are used to supplement some application notes and would rather they didn't get my account banned.

    How is this against community guidelines?

      Youtube has for a while been very strict about anything "hacking tools" adjacent.

        Does this include modification of online games where that is against the TOS of the game?

        The videos without audio are about hacking tools?

        YouTube clearly considers alternate clients to be "hacking" YouTube.

        It seems I'm talking to bots at this point. Nevermind.

  Obviously, he's promoting 3rd-party client competitors to YouTube's official app, and that can't be tolerated.

    I mean... I'm kinda ok with that? It's Google's servers, maybe they get to decide how people access them, and are perfectly reasonable in including such language in their ToS? Banning a content creator for advocating ToS violations is maybe a little too far (unless the ToS also forbids uploading videos that talk about ways to violate the ToS), but... eh. Not a hill I'd care to die on, really. There are plenty of very clear cut examples of Google banning people for spurious reasons; I'd rather get up in arms about those.

      Google is within their right to do this but it's too bad.
