Youtube: Changes to the terms of use upset content creators.

A recent one change to the YouTube Terms and Conditions of Use caused an unwarranted upset to the platform community, and content creators.

ΑAt first it seemed that the page has the right to close channels with so I want, but what is true in the end?

Changes in terms and initial impressions

The new terms will take effect on December 10 and the first impression they gave was that endanger millions of channels and creators.

In the new terms there was a section which hinted that YouTube would be able to delete channels that do not bring on the platform enough earnings. It is worth noting that the terms that are currently in force do not mention such a thing, or at least it is not stated somewhere clearly.

The informative emails sent by YouTube were considered by many as a way for the company to gild the pill. Or they just rushed to translate as they wanted the changes made by the platform to its terms. However, there was a lot of confusion on the internet and YouTube made sure to clear things up.

The placement of the platform on the subject

A YouTube spokesman said no radical changes had been made to the terms of service and that the way their products and services would not be changed. In fact, he stressed that the platform simply made these changes in order to make more understandable the terms of use.

Then, the official TeamYouTube account published a text that clarified the landscape a lot. Specifically, the team stated that it is not going to to terminate the operation of any channel simply because does not make money.

Note that this will be the case before, where the platform deactivates certain features or services in case a channel shows reduced activity. While he closed the post stating that this has no impact on the creators or the viewers.

The bottom line is that YouTube tried to make the terms more understandable, but it probably confused them more.
