Now, based on your feedback, all Community Guidelines strikes will have the same penalty:Īs mentioned, everyone who uploads content to YouTube will now receive a warning the first time their content crosses the line. We heard from many of you that this was confusing and the penalty didn’t match the source of the strike. For example, first strikes on videos would trigger a 90-day freeze on live streaming, and second strikes would result in a two-week freeze on new video uploads. Previously, not all strikes had the same penalty on your channel. While most strikes result from videos, our Community Guidelines cover all content on YouTube, including stories, custom thumbnails, or links to other websites included in a video’s description or infocard. Consistent strikes across all of YouTube We’re also making the penalty for violating our Community Guidelines the same wherever it happens. This includes new, detailed examples of the kind of content we commonly see that breaks our rules. This is to make sure everyone takes the time to learn about our Community Guidelines, and then can quickly get back to creating great content and engaging with their audience in a way that complies with our rules.Īlong with this new warning, we are also expanding the policy resources available in our help center to give more detail about what behavior will result in a strike. We want to give you even more opportunities to learn about our policies, so starting February 25, all channels will receive a one-time warning the first time they post content that crosses the line, with no penalties to their channel except for the removal of that content. And it works: 94% of those who do receive a first strike never get a second one. That’s why-from our earliest days-we’ve relied on a three-strikes system and email notices to give everyone a chance to review and understand what went wrong before they face more severe consequences. “Hopefully it isn’t over yet, this stream is legitimately a hugely important part of YouTube culture,” wrote another.Īccording to YouTube’s tweet, it can take up to 48 hours for wrongly removed videos to be reinstated.Ībuse of the copyright strike system has been a problem on YouTube for years, with people falsely reporting channels and sometimes extorting them for money to get them reinstated.More opportunities to learn YouTube’s policiesĪlthough 98% of you never break our Community Guidelines, they are vital to making YouTube a strong community and balancing freedom of expression with the freedom to belong. In the comment sections for the two removed videos, people lament their takedowns and talk about their importance to their daily lives: “I would like to thank this stream for getting me through some tough anxiety naps,” one viewer wrote. Over the years, the Lofi Hip Hop girl has been cosplayed to death and the inspiration for endless Halloween costumes.
In 2017, YouTube removed the channel following a copyright claim from Studio Ghibli, but reinstated it after the image was replaced with a custom illustration of the slightly different-looking student that we know today. And when the channel first started, it used a looping GIF from the 2015 anime Whisper of the Heart, of the character Shizuku Tsukishima studiously sitting at a desk.
This isn’t the first time the channel’s been removed over trolling copyright claims: In 2020, YouTube similarly mistakenly removed the channel for violations of the Terms of Service, and the platform admitted on Twitter that it was an error. The channel was created by French mononymous musician Dmitri in 2015 under the name “ChilledCow” and rebranded as Lofi Girl in 2021. She’s an example of the “ body doubling” technique for quietly getting things done alongside someone else, focusing on your respective tasks together. In one of the longest-running videos on YouTube, the viewer is a voyeur into the room of a studious young woman hunched over a desk, her huge headphones supposedly streaming the same lyricless, low-fidelity downtempo drum-and-jazz beats that the listener is there to study/relax to. Anyone online in the last seven years likely knows the Lofi Hip Hop girl.
