YouTube offers creators a second chance if they violate the company’s Community Guidelines. Creators who receive a warning about their content will be able to complete a training program in order to remain “in good standing” on the site.
The Google -owned company explained the update in a blog post on Tuesday, saying the approach is a variation on the existing logging system (one violation means a week of upload freeze , two violations are two weeks, three violations get your account closed).
From now on, creators who receive a violation notice will have the ability to take a lesson on YouTube's rules before they are given a strike, with resources that will help creators understand how their content did not comply with community guidelines and what they need to do in the future.

According to YouTube, which began issuing unilateral strikes for policy violations in 2019, more than 80% of those creators have not violated the policies since then. The company says many of these violations are “unintentional,” as the post states: “We believe that our educational efforts are successful in reducing the number of creators who unintentionally violate our policies.”
The community guidelines and content policies of YouTube do not change, but the new system represents a significant update.
