Appeal Denied! 2nd Strike Stays on our Youtube
Added 2024-06-05 02:52:18 +0000 UTCWell, that's that. Unfortunately Leo's Armored Bikini Crotch was deemed too offensive for the prudish assholes of Youtube. So our Youtube Channel stands at Two Community Guideline Strikes, one strike away from being deleted.
At this point I am just fed up with this. On the one hand, I do not want the channel, which has been up for the past 15 years and thousands of videos- to be destroyed by the whim of some snot-nosed prude over at Youtube. But if this is how strict AND random the strikes have become, then current Youtube is not a place where I can comfortably continue posting my content.
Fortunately many of my videos have been backed up on my Odysee channel, so if I am to rebuild it won't be from absolute zero. Due to the 2nd Strike, I can't post or upload on YT for the next two weeks, so I'll immediately keep posting videos on Odysee. https://odysee.com/@thesolekeeper:4
New vids posted on Odysee will be linked here for all members' convenience, so subbing to the channel there is not necessary (but appreciated). KO Endings featured in match vids will either be already posted here or should be posted soon.
So yeah, I don't want this stupidity on Youtube to slow me down. Whether the YT channel dies or not, we keep going. I do hope my work of over 15 years somehow survives, but even so- in this current overly prudish state, I am not sure I can safely and comfortably post on Youtube without some compromises. We'll see. In any case, stay tuned for the next KOs! Take care, Everyone.

At least these strikes do lapse so there's still hope. But even then, given this heightened level of strictness against my stuff, I'm going to have to change edits to any future vids, if ever. On the one hand, I could simply keep going even if the channel got deleted thanks to Patreon and Odysee. That said, it would truly be a shame to let a 15 year old channel with 13K subs go to waste, so crossing fingers we keep going somehow. :)

2024-06-05 11:09:20 +0000 UTCI applaud your resilience. When I received a copyright strike a few years back, I decided it would be a safety step to delete any videos that got flagged for copyright. But it included some videos I worked quite long to make, some over a week of a time, and it all just went down the toilet. It made me decide that uploading stuff to YT wasn't fully worth, so now I leave comments. But maybe, if a certain video of mine reaches 1 million views (still over 9k needed for that), I'll consider doing uploads again. Good thing you have Odysee as backup.
