Bans on Switch (and how to avoid them)

The question of "Will I be banned?" on Switch has been asked since the beginning of time. A ban is when Nintendo doesn't let a specific console or Nintendo account use online services. This includes the eShop, updating games or your firmware, and online play in games. This video goes over what a ban is and how to avoid it.

notes: This video is basically a long way of saying don't pirate, and if you do, do it smartly. If you accidentally did a bannable action on your sysNAND, but want to go online now, use restore a clean backup that you should've made: https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/extras/nandrestore/

Off topic, but this video took such a long time because I switched from using Olive Video Editor to Adobe products (Pr, Ae, Ai). I would keep using Olive, but I'll be getting an actual PC soon (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8DzLsL) instead of a laptop. This means I can make more higher quality videos, and quicker, without being limited by both my laptop's resources and Olive's.
