YouTube has introduced three new rules that every creator must know to avoid channel problems.
If a link in your video description or channel leads to content that violates community guidelines (e.g., scams, malware, nudity), you may receive a strike instead of just having the link removed. Repeated or serious violations can lead to channel termination.
YouTube may disable comments on videos where minors are present, even if under parental supervision, if the content is considered risky. This affects kids' content and family bloggers.
When not signed in, searching for adult content will now require age confirmation. YouTube will block search keywords and prompt users to sign in and confirm they are 18+ before showing such content.
These three new rules aim to improve safety and compliance on YouTube. Creators should review their links, be cautious with content featuring minors, and understand the new age verification process to avoid penalties.

[00:18] problems. What are these three new rules that YouTube has just introduced? I will tell you about them in today's video. If you like the video then like it and subscribe to the channel because your brother is the first one to tell you about such updates and such rules.
[00:31] Look, understand the first rule carefully. This is actually about external links. Till now, what used to happen was that if you put a link in the description of the video which was not correct. So what did YouTube do? Generally
[00:48] that link would be removed from the video. But now a new rule has come. Whether you have But now a new rule has come. Whether you have or anywhere else on YouTube, if you have added such a link to the channel,
[01:03] that link does not follow any of the community guidelines of YouTube. Now you will say how can I follow the link ? Let me tell you. Like if any audience comes and clicks on the link, then as soon as they click on the link, they will be
[01:21] if that content also does links will not be removed but you will get a strike. The strike will definitely happen.
[01:34] If you do this repeatedly or do something too seriously, YouTube can definitely terminate your channel. So brother, please check carefully before uploading any link. Now let me tell you what all can be there in that link. For example, suppose someone clicked on the
[01:48] link that you promoted anywhere. There is some lottery, scam, gambling going on there. There could be some malware or virus attack on the audience. Or some wrong and inappropriate things are being sold on that link
[02:06] or when you go to that link, nudity and sexual imagery etc. are visible. Meaning, if the website does not follow any community guideline after clicking on that link, then it is a simple thing that you may get a strike
[02:20] and your channel may also be terminated. Now let's talk about the second rule, Bhai Saheb, and this rule is that Bhai Saheb can cast the votes of the vloggers. Look, it's a simple thing. YouTube says that till now there were two types of content on YouTube. One was made for
[02:35] two types of content on YouTube. One was made for kids content and one was not made for kids content. So in the content that was made for kids, comments are generally disabled. But now a new rule has come that suppose minors are seen in your videos,
[02:49] children are seen or they are doing any such activity or they are in any such situation which YouTube considers risky. Even though the parents are standing there. Even if it is happening under the supervision of the parents. However, the comments on those videos can be
[03:05] soft disabled. So, those who create kids content or are family bloggers may see comments disabled on their videos in the future. And brother, this rule has also been rolled out
[03:20] on YouTube. Now listen to the third rule. See, a few days ago a rule came that if you are not signed in to YouTube then you will not be able to see anything. YouTube will appear blank. You will have to search and
[03:34] view the content. Now one more step has been upgraded in it. A new rule has also come that suppose you are not signed in to YouTube and you search for something. Resi Sir, do you understand? I don't understand. Let me tell you that till now, if any
[03:48] inappropriate content or any adult content was searched, the content would appear in the search but the thumbnail would appear blurred. Its thumbnail used to come blurred. But this will not happen now. If you
[04:02] search for any racy content and you are not signed in, then YouTube will block those search keywords and the first thing that will appear in front of you is confirm your age, so you will have to sign in and confirm your age first, if you are 18 plus then only you will be able to
[04:19] watch racy content, otherwise you will not be able to watch it, so these three new rules have come on YouTube, what is your opinion about them, tell me by writing in the comment section, I will meet you in the next video with a new topic, till then Jai.
