In a monumental development, TeamYouTube has officially apologized to content creators Markiplier and Cr1TiKaL.
Cr1TiKaL, also known as Penguinz0, had recently criticized YouTube and its manual review team for allowing an animal abuser, Peluchin Entertainment, to exist on its platform.
Soon after, one of his videos similar to “Road Rage” won a warning.
I was going to deal with that in private, but it turns out there’s no human scrutiny about it.The video that was removed and put a strike on my channel is not even a genuine incident of road rage and has no injuries., blood or anything Not even fake or wounded blood – TeamYouTube pic.twitter.com/dVR5k38uD3
As noted in the past in our exclusive role, penguinz0’s chain strike has led to a wide variety of online responses, leading to the hashtag #AnswerUsYoutube, which has begun to spread online.
The scenario was even worse when popular content creator Mark Fischbach, aka Markiplier, also won a warning for reacting to the same video:
Surely I’m surprised that Youtube makes the decision to die on this hill hitting even the healthiest author of your site instead of admitting that it was a mistake in the first place.What is the next @TeamYouTube that also reaches each and every WWE video?False violence?#AnswerUsYoutube https://t.co/ZQ0BUzfezn
This provoked massive outrage and a backlash online, as TeamYouTube nevertheless collapsed and made the decision to solve the challenge by apologizing to any of the YouTubers.

The backlash that YouTube has untied is entirely justified, given its hypocritical stance towards Peluchin Entertainment, which is shown as an animal abuser.
In addition, when Markiplier and Cr1TiKal content creators get hits, a reactionary reaction from the network is expected.
On YouTube, Cr1TiKaL has 5.83 million subscribers and Markiplier has 26.7 million subscribers, numbers that underscore its popularity.
When they began to face the warmth of enthusiasts around the world, YouTube nevertheless stated its mistake and apologized to Cr1TiKaL and Markiplier:
Absolutely news! I think we’re all grateful to hear that you were willing to go back and think about the decision again, it means a lot to the creators to see that.I hope we can all have a more open discussion about things like this in the future.Thank youhttps: //t.co/2xAT4Jcc6O
I appreciate the withdrawal and apology. I am willing to settle for mistakes and hope that we can paint in combination to minimize the chances of this happening in the future.I’m going to take off SpongeBob’s dress for now…https: // t.co / yLCrrDxBIW
Shortly after TeamYouTube apologized to them, Cr1TiKaL, also known as Penguinz0, posted a YouTube video in which he apologized.
Start the video with a cry of triumph:
He then thanked the network that supported him and explained:
He also explains the total fiasco and calls YouTube for having issued a double strike on his channel, as in Markiplier’s:
Finish the video by thanking YouTube and expressing the following concerns:
While YouTube deserves to be praised for its quick resolve to cancel strikes, there is still a separate gray domain related to its terms of service.One can only expect this incident to lead YouTube to conduct a thorough investigation of its complex manual review system.
YouTube is actually a minute. Hit wetcr1tikal and Markiplier for reasons.Ban Leafy for reasons. However, they allow an author who has downloaded videos of himself to remain on their platform killing cats.What the hell’s going on?
Without a doubt, this would create a more inclusive and open environment, where content creators can exist freely, without worrying about getting hit by the channel.
