YouTube said today that its removal of hundreds of crypto-related video sites earlier this week was "in error." The Internet giant told Decrypt that the sites have since been put back online.

"With the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make the wrong call," a YouTube spokesman said. "When it's brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it."

The spokesman added that there has been no change in its policies vis a vis crypto and that all affected videos were "reinstated" without "any penalty to the channel."

Hundreds of YouTube crypto sites awoke to notices from the video giant that their videos were in breach of terms of service and had been removed. The moves prompted paranoia, fear and loathing as well as other lunatic theories that YouTube was itself getting into crypto. Hundreds of thousands of subscribers were affected.
