YouTube is closing game hacking channels

Both @GuidedHacking and CheatTheGame's channels are gone since yesterday, and more getting banned today!

Recently, you must have heard on the 'net by now about Rockstar cracking down on people making GTA V Game mods/cheats, going as far as raiding their homes with police and dragging them into court, but now it seems YouTube has decided to start cracking down on any channel that has videos 'showing' people how to use programs like x64dg to make 'game cheats' or 'mods' and flat out terminating all their videos, channel itself, and does not look like YT is going to backdown on this latest enforcement actions, refusing so far to listen to the growing backlash on social media over their Dalek-like actions! :(
We'd like to inform you that we've received a Circumvention of Technologies complaint regarding your YouTube account. Upon review, we've determined that activity in your account violates YouTube's Terms of Service. As a result, we've terminated your account. If you would like to appeal the suspension, please submit this form.

When we say circumvention of technological measures, we’re referring to tools that allow users to evade a software’s licensing protocol. This can mean serial numbers, keygens, passwords, and other methods to hack software or games.

A CTM claim is appropriate when the infringed material isn’t present in the video (or directly linked to), but the video offers a way for users to access it illegitimately.

You can see more reports on the growing 'reddit' thread linked below, but what are your thoughts on the whole new 'enforcement' action by YT over 'modding/hacking/cheats' videos on their platform?

Gaming is going downhill in many ways
-micro transactions
-console gamers being charged to play online while pc is free
-loot boxes in our games instead of unlocking items the traditional way (I don’t need to tap a box to be informed I’ve got a new item)
-Nintendo joining in and poisoning the gaming world with a poor paid online service
-& now this
If you like anything these days you better be willing to pay monthly for any interest you have, disgraceful

This will not have a big effect on gaming, unless Google (who also owns Youtube) decides to remove results from Google searches about hacking people will still find ways to do it. Youtube started in 2005 and there was hacking tutorials on the internet long before then. I can't remember the last time I've used a Youtube video to help me hack something. As long as there's sites like these nothing will change as it's not like 100% of the gaming population even cares about hacks, maybe 15%.

I think it was to fix my RROD 360 in like 2009.

They take away hacking and cheating channels, so someone patches their switch app to work on banned switch units on -snip-

I wouldn't be surprised if all the fake stuff with viruses and surveys won't even be taken down.

They don't even care about those it seems.

This sucks, there's many videos of modding consoles and games that interested me :(
Too bad YouTube is the biggest video sharing site, no good alternatives for this

Modding != cheating (crapping actually) the games. That's a misconception.

I don't like cheaters/cheating on the games I play (that's why I'm not interested on online play, that's flooded with cheaters).

But do like modding the games to provide content that would not be possible on any other way.

i warn people about this when they cheered Alex Jones being banned, it will continue till ALL are silenced.....

I never cheered it. I don't even like Alex Jones, and believe he's fucking bat shit insane. But I don't believe he should have been booted off social media. But hey, they're private companies, so they can do whatever they want. And yeah, I do agree. I find it laughable that people believe that they'll stop at Alex Jones.
