Cyberpunk 2077: the possible responsible
Although Willyrex said that the reason why YouTube had decided to take down his main channel was not explained. exceeds 16 million subscriberssome of his followers claimed that it was most likely that your Cyberpunk 2077 game live stream It could have violated the rules of the video social network because it showed scenes for +18.
They delete the COMPLETE channel for an “unsuitable” scene and I repeat COMPLETE they do not delete the direct or the possibility of doing direct in a period of time, they do not delete a winning channel from a 100k plaque, another 1M and another 10M for an “unsuitable” scene Good luck willy.

YouTube’s rules are very strict regarding nudity and sex in content, and Cyberpunk 2077, in addition to being one of the most anticipated video games of the year, is also explicitly displays this type of adult content, so it is not surprising that he was suspended.
The three strikes rule was not applied
However, what did surprise Willyrex was that YouTube never warned him about this penalty: “not a single strike”assured the youtuber while his followers demanded an explanation from YouTube, to the degree of become trend.
I don’t know anything about the channel… it’s disappeared in limbo… it’s not for any infraction of any kind since you need 3 strikes and I didn’t have any…

Let us remember that the social network created more than a year ago, with which it ensures, sends a warning when a channel violates any of its rulesand in that case the content that goes outside the YouTube rules will be removed.
Based on this, YouTube claims that it has three levels of penalties according to channel recurrence:
- First Strike: one-week suspension that will expire after 90 days.
- Second strike: If the creator violates the rules a second time, their account will be frozen for two weeks, which will expire after 90 days.
- Third Strike: complete elimination of the channel.

But to his delight, after hours of uncertainty and hundreds of messages of support from and followers, finally everything returned to normal and as if nothing had happened, Willyrex and his more than 16 million followers continue on YouTube.

Until now No official statement has been shared or from YouTube in which they explain what the problem was or why the great video social network did not send him the warning instead of unsubscribing his channel, but Willyrex shared a video in which he affirms that he has not yet known the reason why The channel was taken down for a few hours, except for an email in which YouTube explained that his account had seriously violated Google’s policies.
