YouTube Gave Me a Surprise 2-Week Vacation! THANKS YOUTUBE!❤️
Hey everyone,
Apparently, YouTube decided that I have been working too hard lately, so they generously gave me a surprise two-week vacation.🥰
Over the past ten days, four of my tutorial videos were removed for allegedly containing Voldemort content, the policy that shall not be named, because I’m now afraid of using certain words on basically every platform at this point.
The latest video was initially restricted because of a timestamp showing, drum roll🥁🥁🥁 please…
My outro and the names of my Patreon supporters!
Yup, that’s not a joke...🫥
So, of course, I appealed it, like the smart good boy that I am, and only a few minutes later, YouTube found a completely different timestamp showing a fully clothed woman on a fictional fashion magazine cover.
Apparently, normal fashion photography is now dangerously shreksual, so the entire tutorial was removed and I received my second strike. Oh boy, how fun!❤️❤️
Because of that, I cannot upload videos or even make community posts on YouTube until August 1. All four appeals have been pending since July 10, and after spending many hours talking to support, the final answer from the higher-up YouTube Gods was basically:
“Just wait for the decision via email, bruh.” ☝️🤓
I’m not going to pretend that I’m feeling amazing about the situation. Another strike could mean the complete deletion of my YouTube channel, so yes, this has been incredibly stressful, and I’m honestly pretty down right now, especially since those strikes are active until mid October...
But don’t worry. I’m not disappearing, quitting, or going anywhere. 😤
I’ve released a lot of videos over the past few months, so I’m trying to treat this as a forced two-week break. I’m still working on projects behind the scenes, experimenting with new things, and I’ll remain active here on Patreon either in the comments or in DMs.
And seriously, thank you again to everyone supporting me here.
You guys are the reason YouTube can suddenly lock me out for two weeks without completely destroying everything. Your support gives me the freedom to take that insane hit and continue working.
Without you, none of this would be possible. So thank you again! ❤️
Hopefully, your AI Overlord will be released back into society on August 1.🤞
Until then, I’ll keep you updated here and on Discord.🫡
