  • This is a very difficult situation for creators. It is a hassle, but spreading videos out across different platforms seems to be the only viable solution. This is not great as some platforms bring more revenue than others.

  • AI why? Where’s the proof that AI was involved in this?

  • The reason this happened will probably never be revealed, but I predict it's probably because the channel was uploading videos through a VPN, and wound up sharing an IP address with someone who was using the same VPN for piracy.

  • How many such stories we have to come across before we as a community come together? Apple and Google's monopolies have to be broken. It's insane that your livelihood depends upon the mercy of one organization.
