YouTube Starts Shadowbanning Accounts for Using VPN ❌

Shadowbanning results in content being unavailable when trying to watch a video .

These restrictions apply to both the web version and mobile apps , but the platform makes no official statements about this .

Experts associate this measure with the fight against the manipulation of paid views . 🤷🏼‍♀️

☝🏻The shadowban cannot be bypassed using VPN , incognito mode or repeated logins; the only way out for users is to create backup accounts .

Technical problems have been observed since August , and support volunteers warn that the ban is not expected to be lifted.
