Content creators everywhere are starting to panic about an upcoming policy change over at YouTube that threatens to eliminate all accounts and channels on the Google-owned video platform that are deemed to no longer be "commercially viable."

In the "Account Suspension & Termination" section of YouTube's "Terminations by YouTube for Service Changes," guidelines, the company explains that, as of December 10, 2019, "YouTube may terminate your access, or your Google account's access to all or part of the Service, if YouTube believes, in its sole discretion, that provision of the Service to you is no longer commercially viable."

In other words, if you have a YouTube channel that YouTube employees decide isn't profitable enough for Google, then the company has now granted itself the option to completely shut down your account without warning or consequence.
