Description

YouTube upheld a Community Guideline Strike against a 2.5 year old half assed video that I would have been fine with simply deleting. This means I lost the right for 6 MONTHS to upload long form vids, plus even be able to dispute other infractions. YouTube has made it clear it has not real concern about content creators. I will continue to upload small videos to this and the other channel, but YT will no longer be my primary focus. If someone with 626K Subs isn't worth a simple phone call there is no argument for why it's worth investing real effort to this platform.

Google took down one of my videos due to an audio copy write violation. I wrote the song and recorded all the music myself :/ I filed a claim and it got rejected. I re-uploaded it the next day and never heard anything since. F'ing idiots...

How realistic would it be to create a decentralized video sharing platform? It would essentially work in the same spirit as Openbazaar, only instead of a decentralized Amazon/ebay-like marketplace it would be kinda like YouTube but primarily serve as an extra layer of security. In the event something happens to your channel you'd still be able to connect with anybody subscribed to your decentralized network behind the scenes.

I had a video uploading before I even saw that the strike was removed. I've never wanted to invest in YouTube as a career or anything close to a major revenue stream. This kinda reaffirms that. I was thinking about whether it would be a good or bad idea to divest some time from business to YouTube, but hell no.

That sucks, dude. I'm going to watch your update videos now, but even knowing that this happened has to be frustrating.

Really sorry for what has happened to you. I find your channel very interesting and informative. I came to look at a recent tutorial that I watched from you to try it out on my computer about ftp and ssh. Man I'm really bummed that you're not gonna do no more classes. I hope the best for you and I hope things will turn out better. Is there any way we can help in the matter to get you back for more than 15 minutes. I haven't read all comments yet so I apologize if the answer is already out there, but I wanted to speak my mind. Thank you very much for your time and effort on this channel.
