This is just plain wrong.

Rekieta received his first strike in late July for preventing him from live streaming or posting videos for 7 days.

Rekieta was on vacation at the time in Texas and Florida, but was planning on livestreaming his panels at Anime Matsuri in Houston?. He had personally convinced other LawTube members, Geeks and Gamers members and comic artists to attend and set up tables and panels themselves to turn it into one big streamer hangout.

Rekieta was bitching to YT on Twitter at the time that he missed out on revenue he was hoping to make from livestreaming the convention to offset the fact that he was taking many weeks off from streaming for road trips to see his parents in Florida and to go to Jamaica with Lady Rackets for 12 days.

Rekieta's first strike suspension was officially for 7 days on paper, but he was furious and very vocal that YT didn't give him access to his account again for at least nine days, preventing him from streaming any of the convention.

When YT creators receive a strike, they get completely locked out of their own accounts for the suspension period. They can't even make community posts or update videos to let their subscribers know what is happening and why they disappeared until the suspension is over.

Matt Christiansen of the Matt&Blonde show was suspended off YouTube for a week within the last year due to the RONA censorship. He had to stream for a week on alternative platforms like Trovo and ended up setting up an emergency email subscriber newsletter system specifically to alert his audience if it were to happen again simply to get the word out.

Rekieta has been pushing his Locals content as a way to get messages out to his subscribers ever since his first strike because he got locked out of his account for 9 days in July, much like the message linked in the OP.

YouTubers like Rekieta aren't "choosing" to stop using livestreaming out of caution, they are getting arbitrarily suspended from accessing their accounts for set periods of time.

Maybe you should get better informed next time before so confidently spouting bullshit.
