xQc banned from posting on YouTube and videos demonetized over \u201cstrikes\u201d Twitch: xQc\/ YouTubeTwitch star Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel has called out to YouTube after one of his videos was hit with a Community Guidelines strike, meaning he is banned from posting on the platform for two weeks. xQc is often hailed as the \u2018king of Twitch,\u2018 but like his fellow creators he also depends on the views he can pull in over on its rival YouTube. However, various creators have been hit with unexpected strikes on the platform which can be highly disruptive for their schedules and affect their standing on the algorithm. Not even xQc could avoid having his YouTube content being affected after he received an \u201cunjustified and unrelated\u201d strike on the Google-owned platform. xQc hit with YouTube strike On July 12, xQc reached out directly to YouTube via Twitter calling on the site to respond after one of his videos received a strike. As a result, he was banned from uploading any more content for a fortnight. \u201cMy account got an unjustified and unrelated strike on a video which bars me from uploading for two weeks,\u201d xQc said. \u201cCould I get a manual review on this please?\u201d He claimed that numerous creators have also been \u201cunnecessarily demotized lately\u201d and that \u201csomething\u2019s gotta be up.\u201d It comes after hugely popular Lo-fi music channel \u2018Lofi Girl\u2019 had their long-running livestream terminated due to \u201cfalse\u201d copyright claims. YouTube quickly responded by reinstating their videos and confirming the requests were \u201cabusive.\u201d YouTube subsequently responded to xQc\u2019s call out. Believing it was a copyright strike at first, the platform then admitted it was a Community Guidelines strike and that the issue had been passed by \u201cthe relevant team.\u201d It\u2019s unclear as of writing how long xQc\u2019s YouTube ban will last for and what has been done to resolve the issue. Although, his fans are hoping it won\u2019t take too long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
