YouTube Demonetized My Air Assault Video
This is why substack is so important.
Well, It happened again. YouTube Demonetized my video on the 101st Airborne. I’ve requested manual review and I am still waiting on a reply. This can take a lot of time - and it isn’t guaranteed to be overturned.
What really bothers me is that I do play by the rules, but sometimes I get caught in the algorithm anyway. I don’t show combat footage, as per their rules. But the rules always seem to be changing and I have no idea who enforces them.
I actually cut some footage of Operation Desert Storm because it contained explosions on Iraqi Aircraft revetments, so the only thing I can think of is that perhaps I got caught in an automated algorithm that detected explosions or gunfire?
Anyway. If you are a paid subscriber. Thank you. If you are not, and you have $5. I sure would appreciate it since now there is no way I’m going to recoup my cost of going to Ft. Campbell.
If you are already a paid subscriber and still want to help, consider donating a subscription to a friend.
Your documentary on air assaults was just TOP NOTCH.
Informative, entertaining, and well edited.
I think it’s nonsense YouTube demonetizes vids that contain any explosions.
Seems it’s more interested in just content creators who post Barbie sales ads.
You represent the best of US - be proud!
Your channel is the only one I happily pay for.
And yet, the neo-anarchist Teahadist who terrorizes the families of local public officials and displays obscene signs at county events is still monetized by, and making a decent living from, YouTube. Go figure.
