What can I get a strike on YouTube for?

Many streamers and bloggers are interested in this issue, because recently the number of strikes is only growing. First of all, you need to understand what a strike is.

Now we will analyze in detail what you can get a ban on YouTube, how long it can last and how to remove it.

YouTube is the largest video hosting service in the world. Now it has more than a billion registered people who view a huge number of videos every day.

A strike is primarily a warning for copyright infringement. Recently, this topic has been taken very seriously. The user can notice their own ideas and other things in the video, and then send a complaint. In this case, YouTube processes the complaint and sends a warning to the blogger. Previously, the recipients of the strike were immediately deprived of the opportunity to earn money. Also, the blogger could not upload videos longer than 15 minutes to the channel. Now everything is much more loyal, but you should follow the requirements of YouTube, if any.

If you do not break the rules, the strike will be removed automatically after 3 months.

When a blogger receives a strike, he should be as careful as possible, since 3 violations entail a complete blocking of the channel and the removal of all videos.

You can find out if you have any warnings in the Creative Studio of your channel. Go to the section "Video Manager", then "Copyright". For more information, see the section "Warnings about copyright infringement".

Many bloggers think that by deleting the video for which the strike came, the warning will be removed immediately. No, it will remain for the next 3 months.

YouTube imposes strikes for a reason, video hosting relies on the law "On Copyright Protection in the Digital Age". It implies that without a written agreement of the copyright holder, it is impossible to use its intellectual property. Thus, any works in material form are prohibited from being used in video clips. Bloggers and streamers are prohibited from using music, movies, productions, books, and much more.

In most cases, the copyright holders do not send complaints, but there is an automatic recognition system, which began to lead to such a huge number of strikes on YouTube.
