Why I Got a Strike on YouTube
Introduction
In this article, I want to share my experience of getting a strike on YouTube and discuss the reasons behind it. It all started with unfortunate incidents that led to this surprising outcome. So, let's dive into the details and understand what happened.
The Job Interview Incident
Recently, I had a job interview and that's the reason why I'm dressed so nicely in this video. I wanted to share this news with my audience because it was a significant moment for me. Little did I know that things were about to take a turn for the worse.
Shortly after returning home from the interview, I received a notification on my screen about a strike on my Channel. This strike was given to me while I was out of town, making the timing absolutely terrible. I was caught off guard and frustrated by this unexpected setback.
The Use of Puppets
One of the reasons for the strike was a video I had uploaded earlier. In that video, I was playing with puppets. Now, for those who are unfamiliar, puppets are small pieces of paper with a bit of gunpowder inside. When You hit them, they make a popping sound, just as the name suggests.
However, the YouTube algorithm didn't take kindly to this content. The use of puppets was seen as going too far, even though it was all in good fun. It's worth mentioning that I was using the puppets in the presence of my mother, so there was no harm intended.
To my surprise, the innocent act of playing with these barely explosive pieces of paper was labeled as child endangerment. I couldn't understand how this harmless activity was seen in such a negative light. It left me feeling frustrated and confused.
My Frustration with the Appeal Process
Naturally, I decided to appeal the strike, hoping it was just a mistake that would be swiftly rectified by a human reviewer. However, my optimism was quickly shattered when my appeal was rejected within 20 minutes. The email made it clear that my strike would not be lifted.
This whole episode left me incredibly frustrated with the appeal process. It felt as though my voice wasn't being heard, and the system was simply playing by its own rules without taking into account the Context or intention behind my videos. It was a discouraging experience indeed.
The Consequences of the Strike
As a result of the strike, I was prohibited from uploading or live streaming on my channel for an entire week. This restriction was a significant blow as it hindered my ability to Create and engage with my audience. It felt like a punishment for something that I didn't fully understand.
This ban not only affected my content creation but also left me feeling helpless and salty about the entire situation. I couldn't comprehend why a strike with a one-week duration turned into nine additional days of restriction. It seemed like an arbitrary extension of my punishment.
Dealing with Grief and Salty Feelings
The prolonged duration of the strike caused a Wave of frustration and grief to wash over me. Being unable to share my thoughts, ideas, and creativity with my audience felt disheartening. It seemed like I was stuck in a state of limbo, unable to move forward.
However, I refused to let this setback hold me back for too long. While the strike was a setback, I was determined to channel my frustration into productivity and overcome the negative emotions. I made a conscious decision to Continue creating content and not let this experience deter me from my passion.
The Duration of the Strike
Although I Am Now able to upload content again, the strike remains on my channel until December 19th. This lingering strike raises questions about the potential impact on my video recommendations, but honestly, it's a concern that I'm not overly preoccupied with. I will continue to create and share content regardless of the strike's implications.
Upcoming Content: CEC Reviews
Moving forward, I am excited to introduce a new review-style series called CEC, which stands for Concept, Execution, and Conclusion. In this series, I will Delve into the concept of a movie, game, or any other form of media, evaluate its execution, and wrap up with my overall conclusion and grade.
I have been working diligently on this project, and the first video will be released soon. The temporary setback caused by the strike may have delayed the release, but it hasn't deterred my determination to bring this series to life. I am eager to embark on this new venture and share my thoughts with my audience.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the strike on my YouTube channel was a frustrating and unexpected experience. It highlighted the shortcomings of the appeal process and left me feeling disheartened. However, I am determined to move forward, focusing on creating engaging content for my audience.
