Helios Legal Group - YouTube spam radar

Gordon started a very interesting thread back in March about the Helios Legal Group who were using lead generation videos on YouTube.

(Orig post here)

I bookmarked that channel and now see it has been suspended:

They do have a new channel but much smaller number of videos at:

I think a few other people may have tried this approach... any ideas on how to adjust the model to stay under the YouTube spam radar? Anyone with similar experience? Where does YouTube draw the line?

YouTube does the same as Google - it draws the line wherever it's convenient for itself at the time.

And it changes the position of the line retrospectively so that what was acceptable may no longer be acceptable and what didn't result in a ban now does.

Best guess is that they're buying views which is something YouTube hate and will remove videos for.
