YouTube bans dangerous challenges...unless you are PewDiePie, one of the Paul brothers, etc. because, let's face it, if you are making the company money, they don't give a crap what you do.
YouTube already frowns on challenges and pranks that put people at risk, but it's making that policy more explicit in light of the recent rise of Bird Box-inspired dares. The service has updated its guidelines to directly ban all challenges and pranks that are dangerous or harmful, including activities that cause "severe emotional distress" for kids or make any target think they're in "serious physical danger."
