Hey there, my fellow tech enthusiasts! It’s your favorite funny guy, Nuked, here to bring you the latest news from the world of YouTube. Are you a fan account owner? Well, then listen up, because YouTube has some new rules that might affect you.
According to 9to5Google, YouTube now requires fan account owners to make it clear in their channel name or handle that they are not affiliated with the company or artist their account revolves around. This new impersonation policy is set to take effect on August 21st, 2023.
Previously, YouTube’s policies did not have any specific rules for fan accounts. The platform simply stated that channels designed to impersonate other channels or specific people were not allowed. However, with this new update, fan accounts must now explicitly state that they are not affiliated with whoever their accounts are dedicated to.
A YouTube spokesperson named Ivy Choi stated that “content intended to impersonate a person or channel is not allowed on YouTube.” Therefore, any fan accounts that pose as another’s channel and re-upload their content will no longer be allowed on the platform.
YouTube believes that this update will help genuine fan channels know exactly how they can celebrate their favorite creators. Additionally, it will protect original creators from content and channels that are impersonating them.
So, if you’re running a fan account on YouTube, make sure to update your channel name or handle to make it clear that you are not affiliated with the company or artist your account revolves around. That way, you can continue to enjoy your favorite content without any interruptions.
That’s it for now, folks! Stay tuned for more updates from the world of technology and entertainment.
Cheers,
