YouTube is one of the most popular websites in the world. It’s also fast becoming a very important source of online content. There are hundreds of thousands of people with youtube channels.
Some are just starting out, while others have grown to be drop-dead famous. You can watch any topic or subject you want on youtube, in addition to listening to music and watching movies.
Sometimes, you might see something you don’t like on a youtube channel. Maybe it has inappropriate content, or maybe it promotes harmful ideas and behaviors. If this is the case, it’s important to know that there are multiple ways to report this youtube channel, which can then result in action taken against that account by YouTube itself. In this guide, I will show you how to report channels on Youtube.
Before reporting any channel, you should check to see if it violates the YouTube Community Guidelines. Here’s a link to a page that explains the YouTube community Guidelines also the link to Youtube support help page. On YouTube, reporting is completely anonymous. You can report any channel that posts offensive content.
Please keep in mind that YouTube takes time to review the content you flagged as inappropriate. Someone must review it and determine whether the content truly violates YouTube’s community guidelines, which are constantly changing and under scrutiny.
