Just when you think you have seen it all on social media platforms now comes yet another You Tube channel attacking other You Tubers in the crypto space. As it stands, You Tube has had a very tenuious relationship with crypto channels on the platform however over the course of the last year or so the number of crypto channel has grown substantially with the popularity of Bitcoin and Ethereum post 2016.
One such channel that places this growth in jeopardy in terms of how You Tube perceives the cryptocurrency channels on the platform is operated by self professed you tuber named "Oracle" which operates a half a dozen channels. Numerous complaints have been filed against the channels within the areas of harassment, bullying and copyright infringement and You Tube must consider much of this as it related to its policies regarding crypto. You Tube permits subscribers to flag or file complaints against channel places content that violates the Community Standards of the platform.
"Oracle" is the channel name for TEAMUS_ORACLE@protonmail.com that You Tube has listed as of Canadian origin however most likely this is not in reality the location of the originator as the channels promote the use of VPN (Virtual Private Networks) to circumvent United States laws. The "Oracle" uses the platform to encourage subscribers to violate laws by using TorGuard; a service in which offers affiliate commissions to "Oracle" and will permit subscribers to access unauthorized platforms in the crypto space that cannot be legally accessed via a United States IP address.
One such site promoted by the "Oracle" is Bitmex. This site is not accessible by United States citizens yet the "Oracle" has used TorGuard as a means of circumventing the law and have his subscribers do the same as he promotes this activity from You Tube. Bitmex recently faced yet another scandal:

As if using You Tube to promote violating the law, the "Oracle" goes further and targets fellow you tubers on his channel known as Crypto TA Holes. This site sole purpose is to harass and disparage other channels like Crypto Kirby, Sunny Decree, MM Crypto, Crypto Lark, and others with false claims in an attempt to do financial harm to these channels which typically have monetized.

There is a movement afoot with channels with hundreds of thousands of subscribers for You Tube to address these "Oracle" channels where you tubers are demanding that the platform sites manipulating the Fair Use doctrine on the platform with the sole intent to do harm.
The "Oracle" criticizes these channel which all operate in the "Technical Analysis" space as "fake traders" while touting his own pay service for trading now costing roughly around .45 BTC or $4,800 or .25 (2,700) for Discord Only per subscriber. The "Oracle" is not an educational service or channel rather it is a pay for service channel and he directly instructs subscribers to leave the You Tube platform to enter his Discord Channel. This can not sit well with You Tube in truth as the one thing the company seeks is to keep subscribers on the platform as long as possible.
Not only has "Oracle" himself disparaged other you tubers but has encouraged subscribers to do so it seems on the channel pages comment sections or in some cases attempt to get competing channels removed or suspended from the platform by soliciting false claims against channels for copyright infringement. While "Oracle" disparages others he places in his description an attempt to prevent others from returning the favor.
Here is how it reads:
LEGAL INFO: You are hereby notified that you are strictly prohibited from disclosing, copying, distributing, disseminating, or taking any other action against me with regard to this YouTube channel and the contents herein. You do NOT have my permission to utilize any of my information nor any of the content contained herein including, but not limited to my photos, and/ or the comments made about my videos or any other "video” art posted on my channels The foregoing prohibitions also apply to your employee(s), agent(s), student(s) or any personnel under your direction or control. The contents of this profile are private and legally privileged and confidential information, and the violation of my personal privacy is punishable by law Everything seen in any of my videos is based on my opinion and commentary only.*My channels are for entertainment purposes only I am not a financial advisor all decisions are your own . ORACLE is not in any other discords or telegram groups and will never ask you for money or post a crypto address of any sort.
Ironically, "Oracle" does solicit payment for services and his videos are covered by Fair Use doctrine on the platform just as others. His channels are not for educational purposes as he solicits payment for services.
"Oracle" wants to use the Fair Use doctrine to attack others and yet expects some form of protection from criticisms of his own practices in the manner he does other channels.
None of the actions taken by the "Oracle" are in the interests of You Tube or the platform given the content of the videos and the harassing and bullying nature of the content offering no meaningful value and whose sole purpose is to do other You Tubers financial harm. A Telegram group has formed that is highly critical of "Oracle" practices on You Tube. This channel can be found here:

One such channel on You Tube has filed paperwork with the courts in Virginia regarding defamation and malicious intent in conjunction with You Tube suspensions on channel stemming from followers of "Oracle" fraudulent claims of copyright infringement for content they have no authorized claim or ownership. These suits could cost those filing fraudulent claims hundreds of thousands of dollars in the court system in fines and legal fees if found to have filed fraudulent claims through the You Tube takedown complaint system protecting authentic copyright claims.
"Oracle" has also sought to attempt to have other channels in the crypto space on You Tube shut down that also focus on the Bitmex or BitSeven trading platforms. Many claim this is a fradulent attempt to use the You Tube complaint system where once a channel receives three strikes for a infringement claim is suspended and cannot upload any further videos until such time the process plays out.
The claimant who files such a claim must also filing a federal lawsuit within ten days of the claim or the claim is invalid for any copyright infringement claim. If the claim is deemed to be fraudulent the claimant faces not only removal from the platform but also potential lawsuits for fraud. Many have claimed that "Oracle" has incited others to file false claims and if the record provided authorities proves to demonstrate such action than the you tuber could face severe legal jeopardy in some states for attempting to do harm. The harm comes into play when a channel that is monetized is shut down to fight fraudulent claims and loses daily You Tube revenue. Some channels like Sunny Decree here:
https://www.youtube.com/c/sunnydecree/videos
Have hundreds of thousands of subscribers and the monetized value lost can be literally thousands of dollars daily to channels that suffer such fraudulent claims. It is one thing to take objection to someones brand or service however to attempt to do a channel financial harm is an entirely different story and could come with severe penalties in many states throughout the country.
One thing is clear and that is that there appears little place for the actions that are being claimed regarding "Oracle". People can certainly investigate themselves especially the content in the Crypto TA Holes channel to determine whether the channel has any real value other than tarnishing other channel on You Tube. Given the number of channels that are all a associated with the you tuber it seems pointless to jeopardize all the other channels in place operated.
If You Tube finds the claims against "Oracle" credible than all channels associated with the you tuber can be removed from the platform and not just the one with the content in question.
Other channels are: @OracleKingpin
