Flagging down a scam channel |
|
In July 2021, YouTube set all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 to private (unless the channel owner had opted out). In the weeks leading up to this change, Archive Team archived many pre-2017 unlisted YouTube videos. If this video was uploaded before 2017 and has gone private, there is a chance that a 360p archived version can be viewed on archive.org via the site's Wayback Machine as follows: 1. Enter the YouTube URL in the Wayback Machine form or click on the following link: https://web.archive.org/web/20210000000000*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s51fELBqnRg 2. Right-click on a blue entry in July in the calendar. 3. Click 'Copy link address'. 4. Paste the copied link address into your web browser's address bar and press enter.
Description: If you want to know why Empower Network is a scam, this person has done the best research on why it is a bad investment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDFDsu0_eWs Show him some love. http://www.youtube.com/stoponlinescams is your one stop for all scam updates. Facebook outright bans Multi-Level Marketing and Pyramid Schemes https://www.facebook.com/help/216254165086921/ Vimeo bans them as well http://vimeo.com/help/guidelines (Read section 2) Funny rant on the Google Forums from someone in the Empower Network back in February when YouTube was actually removing these pyramid schemes instead of just age restricting them. http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/youtube/uploading-and-managing-videos/VMwTa3GDPQI YouTube's current policy on Scams http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2801973 However as of March it is not being enforced as it once was. Now the videos are simply being age restricted. However we do still get lucky some times. Here is one such example of a scammer that decided they had enough and posted a blog about leaving YouTube. http://rjanimalvideos.blogspot.com/2013/05/moving-to-new-video-host-goodbye-youtube.html It is my intention and the intention of the other people in the flagging community to keep putting pressure on YouTube to have them reverse their new policy and remove these videos just like every other major social network does. To me this is NOT a free speech issue. While everyone has the right to say what they want, this website has rules and because of the large amount of videos posted every day YouTube relies on the community at large to report offensive content when they see it. All we can do is report, ultimately it is up to YouTube if a video stays up or not. Attorney General of Kentucky cites YouTube as a source of these online scams his office is targeting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBY9UXBbtWc
