Popular YouTuber Oscar Ramos has accused YouTube of unfairly banning one of his videos related to Ripple, sparking controversy within the cryptocurrency community. The video, showcasing the upcoming Ripple Swell Conference, was reportedly taken down despite its title and thumbnail appearing legitimate. Ramos’ account is now free from the ban, but this incident reignites concerns about potential bias against XRP content creators on YouTube.
Ramos took to Twitter to express his disappointment, claiming that the video ‘does not violate our Community Guidelines,’ urging YouTube to remove the strike and ban. The incident has drawn support from other crypto commentators who claim this is another example of YouTube targeting XRP content specifically.
While YouTube acknowledged that the video wasn’t in violation of their guidelines, this isn’t the first time such incidents have occurred. The past few years have seen a shift away from broader bans, focusing instead on videos containing offensive or scam-related content. However, recent instances like this raise questions about whether YouTube is still unfairly targeting certain types of XRP content.
