YouTube continues to clamp down.. Just got a strike for posting a video letting our subscribers know the WAN Show is live... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2fPyZDsdJo … Yes, this action makes me so motivated to stop streaming on Twitch and switch to YouTube right now /sarcasm

Basically they are mad we are publicizing our stream on Twitch. Yet another move towards YouTube owning the audience rather than the creators having control of that relationship. To be clear these guidelines have existed for a long time. The enforcement is new.pic.twitter.com/tmFinDDceZ

You can absolutely create videos that promote or link to Twitch! And there's no new enforcement. As stated in our Community Guidelines, if the content's main/sole purpose is to drive people off YouTube and onto another site, it will likely violate our spam policies.

Example could be content with no audio/video or other info, just a link to another site.

"You can create videos that promote Twitch" then "purpose is to drive people off YouTube". So you can't make videos promoting Twitch. Pretty sure that contradicts itself there.

The key difference is content that has no information (no audio, no video, no description, etc) other than links to another site.
