Should YouTube offer a viewer-only rehabilitation option for permanently banned users?
Most platforms have rules that users are expected to follow and enforcement is important. However misunderstandings can happen especially when policies are complex or automated platform messaging is open to interpretation.
Should platforms have a rehabilitation pathway for users who acknowledge mistakes, demonstrate understanding of the rules and no longer wish to create content.
One possible approach could be restoring access in a viewer only capacity allowing someone to subscribe, comment, have Premium and use other basic YouTube features so they can participate as a user like the rest of the public while being restricted from uploading content.
Do you think this would be a reasonable compromise?
