If you’re a small or new YouTuber trying to grow your channel in 2025, this video will show you 7 things you should never do on YouTube if you want to avoid getting banned, shadowbanned, or having your videos removed. I’ll walk you through the most common mistakes small creators make, including comment spam, hashtag overuse, tag stuffing, using copyrighted content without permission, reusing images for thumbnails, unsafe email practices, connecting your channel to risky third-party apps, and clicking suspicious links in fake brand deal emails. These mistakes might seem harmless, but they can destroy your channel’s growth or even get your account permanently deleted. I’ll also show you how to protect your personal data as a YouTuber, how to avoid phishing scams, and what YouTube’s own guidelines say about tags and hashtags. Whether you're uploading YouTube Shorts or long-form content, this video is essential if you want to grow the right way and stay safe.
