A creator got their channel flagged by YouTube for including a business email in the video description. The platform's moderation system caught it as 'directing users off-site'—basically treating contact info like an external redirect. Pretty strict interpretation of the rules. This kind of thing raises questions about how these centralized platforms handle creator-platform relationships, especially compared to the more transparent, rule-based systems the crypto space advocates for.

Haha, really, YouTube's review process is too ridiculous, they don't even allow email addresses?
---
Centralized platforms are like this, rules can be changed at will, creators have no say at all.
---
That's why the transparent mechanisms of Web3 are so attractive; at least the rules are fixed and won't be mysteriously banned.
---
Just an email address and you're considered to have left the site, laughable. How are fans supposed to contact you?
---
YouTube's AI review is getting more and more idiotic, they really can't stand direct communication between people, huh?

This is a typical issue of centralized platform authoritarianism. Try switching to a blockchain-based platform, no one would dare to do such things.

Are they not even allowing email addresses? The YouTube review process is too outrageous. Isn't this just stifling creators' commercial opportunities?

It's the same black-box review process on YouTube, even less transparent than smart contract code. This is the ceiling of centralized platforms—rules can be changed arbitrarily, and creators just deserve to be exploited.
