Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens and soft media users for 1520111 clue delivery! CTOnews.com, August 11, YouTube Community Manager Meaghan announced in the community earlier today that YouTube will adjust the third-party links provided by creators in video profiles, comment areas, and even the channel's home page. The CTOnews.com is summarized as follows:

From August 10, icons on all channels' home pages that lead to third-party social platforms will no longer be displayed.

From August 31, links in the short video section "Shorts" comment section, profile and vertical stream will be blocked: direct clicks are not allowed.

It is said that the adjustment is made because as YouTube content continues to grow, spam and fraudulent messages are more likely to spread widely in these areas, and some directly clickable links lead users to malware, phishing or fraudulent messages.

At the same time, YouTube officially announced that it "continues to develop tools and features to help creators more securely insert links into their content." Starting from August 23, creators will be able to share links to websites, social data and product information in a special area below their channel profiles.

▲ source Google, like YouTube through the end of September, will also provide creators with a "safer" way to guide viewers to click on other types of content in short videos, such as long videos.

In addition, YouTube will continue to crack down on "fake accounts" and step up censorship of inappropriate content in the comment area. Officials say the measures will help reduce spam and fraud on the platform, "making it a platform that everyone feels safe."
