Hey all, good afternoon.
My youtube channel was banned indefinitely by Youtube.com and I will no longer be able to upload content to it. My ban reason was claimed to be a violation of their sexual content community guidelines. I have tried to appeal twice, and was denied both times.
The channel took years of my life to build up in between college, homework, and my part time job. It was a fun outlet for my creativity, and a great opportunity to meet so many friends that I still know to this day. I am disheartened to have lost so much progress. But over the last 6 days, I've learned to accept it, painful as it may be.
What does this mean for me and you? Well, for starters, I'm a creative person at heart. I always felt like a video, project, or idea had to leave my body and be put on the internet. Whether I'm at 19k subcribers or 2, I'm going to do what I do. I've set up a new channel, and I've linked it above. If you pay attention to my twitter, you might also be aware that I'll be uploading certain reviews not safe for Youtube on a certain Orange and Black website as well. And that channel will also have it's own special projects and goodies unique to the platform. As for Youtube, I have to play it safer going forward. I was too fast and loose with how I edited, and I forgot that people at the top of the YT totem poll don't get the culture I cultivate around adult gaming and mature discussions about NSFW content.
Now as for you. You've chosen to put a single dollar of your hard earned money (some of you even more) towards me and my dreams. I will never forget that. I appreciate that you even clicked the link to get here. But I understand if it feels like a lot of my momentum has been lost with this setback, and do not blame you if you no longer wish to support me at this time. I still stream on twitch, and I've been successfully partnered on there, and I receive a lot of love and support from both them and you respectively. So know that any decision you make is something I get.
This is a character defining moment for me. To see what I'm really about as a content creator. I will look back on this loss and see what it made me. And I hope it's just the beginning of a new chapter of ways that I can surprise myself.
Thank you for reading, thank you for your support, I greatly greatly appreciate it.
If you choose to subscribe to the new channel, please type "from Patreon" in the commnets of my first video so that I know you're from here. I will leave you some love in return.
All the best,
-H
