Sounds like a brazen and cavalier flouting of the obvious rules, with the assumption that because other channels got away with it, he should too.
I am not callous, I can completely feel the pain of the loss, but at the same time it seems like a self-inflicted wound.
E flouting
Stop trusting corporations with the things you value.
and this is why I basically never login to any google account anymore, unless it’s in a container.
It’s not YOUR account, it’s theirs.
Dang, 190k subscribers and his source of income? That’s pretty awful.
Poor guy, fuck these people
I thought you had 3 strikes and your out? Also he could/should have been a lot more cautious:
Since the rest of the game was just a standard horror title like Resident Evil I figured it didn’t really require an age restriction, and that if anything, YouTube would just apply one later on like they always do
Forgive me if I have no sympathy for losing work done for someone else, especially a corporation and especially one like Google.
If I paint a mural at a company’s office, if they decide to remove the wall, it sucks to see but it’s not my wall. If I tend a tree at work and they decide to cut it down, same thing. A YouTube channel is never yours.
Oops did 10 years of hard work on a Nazi platform, and now shocked that they stole it?
You feel good about youraelf when you do this?
I do not understand why I’m being downvoted for my comment - Google / YouTube is a fascist, evil corporation
There are exactly zero good and magnanimous corporations, and yet if you want to live you work with what you have. Someone lost their living because of a double standard and you took the opportunity to “I told you so” as if you knew their individual failure was always going to happen. There is so little help or meaning to this action and yet now you act like you ahould be applauded.
This is, very strickly speaking, dickhead behavior. Be better.
Please stop with this nonsense. It diminishes the gravity of the word “fascism”.
Because this isn’t a situation of fascism at all, even if Google is fascist in general.
Not if you’d done backups …
They’re losing the monetization. Not sure any 3-2-1 strategy can help with that
“Beyond losing my income, I’m also losing 10 years of hard work and over 3,000 videos. The emotional impact is huge. Those videos represent a big part of my life, and losing them hurts more than I can describe."
Sounds like 3-2-1 would have helped in this case.
Well, backups would have saved his content, but for what viewer base? How is he supposed to use his backups to get his viewer base and income back? It took 10 years to get that.
