One Word Almost Ruined This Car YouTuber’s Career

When it comes to YouTube or any social media platform, for that matter, one really has to be careful what they say as a creator. The wrong word or combination of words could end up being deadly for a social media account. For most folks, getting sent to good old Facebook jail isn’t really that big of a deal. However, when your livelihood depends on being able to put out compelling YouTube content, getting banned can be a little bit of a problem.

Because of this, many creators have to tiptoe around things like race, religion, and politics. Fortunately, here in the automotive side of things, we don’t really think all that much about these topics. Therefore, most of our channels are relatively safe from the minefield of policies surrounding sensitive content and how it is posted to platforms like YouTube.

However, for one creator by the name of JayEmm on Cars, he would run into exactly this obstacle. In this particular video, we learn all about how an innocent video featuring Formula 1 legend, Steve Nichols, ended up being quite controversial. In fact, thousands of dollars in revenue if not more was put in question after YouTube decided to take the video down because they didn’t like something within the script.

They didn’t say what they didn’t like which would be incredibly frustrating.

In the video down below, our host goes through the entire story of how his automotive channel almost came to a screeching halt all because of a portion of a video about the Monza speedway. If this sounds perplexing to you as it did to us, don’t worry, you’re not alone. When checking in with the feature down below, though, we all get a little bit of a soirée into why exactly it is that we should appreciate YouTube creators and some of the hurdles that they end up going through to bring us quality content.
