GoKawiilYouTube tests program letting spam-flagged channels delete videos instead of being terminated
YouTube is piloting a new process for channels facing termination over spam policy violations, giving eligible creators 30 days to fix or remove offending videos, or wipe their entire video library, to avoid losing their channel. Channels in this locked period cannot upload new videos or post comments, but creators who clear out their libraries keep their subscriber count, channel handle, and monetization status.
