  • My experience with UA-cam support, and why they banned me for 7 days.
    I also since found out that it's possible to buy licensing for live streaming, but the support team wasn't allowed to tell me that either.

I guess at least in the Netherlands that lower limit seems to be a bit higher than in most places in the world? 😅 Or maybe there's still a few more people working in support that give a damn about their job 😅 I'm somewhat afraid companies will soon jump the "AI" bandwagon and things will go south very fast.

      Let's get real for a second. I believe there's something like a thousand hours of content being uploaded every second to UA-cam? It's at least in that order of magnitude. Unless they gate who can upload there's no way in hell they'd be able to check everything. If UA-cam send a mail (kinda dumb... Why not post that in chat only visible to the creator and pinned to the top?) specifying what was going wrong that's fair enough.
      The real issue here is how copyright laws are being created and enforced which is not something UA-cam can do a whole lot about.

      If Twitter has taught me anything, it's that people _do_ care. I've seen people use Twitter to organize a mass false flag campaign to get a channel vaporized over hurt feelings. They abuse UA-cams bot system to get things taken down immediately knowing it will take days (if ever) for a real person to finally take a look at it.
      If nobody truly cared, then there wouldn't be a problem to begin with. That's why the rules are vague as fuck. They want to be able to punish people without having to explain themselves. That's how dictatorships work.

This resulted in 92 strikes in under 5 minutes and a lifetime ban from even using it. No appeal because of the amount of strikes. And I lost every bit of content including self published, self wrote, self produced, self performed songs. Years of work gone. So remember.... It can always be worse.

      That sounds like a successful lawsuit in the making.

UA-cam does not own your content (no matter how they may try to spin it), it was not their call to make, since you chose to not monetize the video to specifically avoid that problem. I'm sure this issue has affected hundreds of other creators.

She was hitting her limit in a week then she got invited to the Ad program which was nice. Then it happened some hater mass reported some of her videos. She got banned for 90 days for her first violation. After the 90 days were up she got it back made her money in the first week and then bam violated again. Cause of one jealous person. That messes with a persons life when someone does that just because they’re a petty miserable person.

    I’m so glad that the record company was able to help you out! One UA-cam channel that I loved post (with permission!) amazing videos of this band that I love. They had been posting for eight years. They posted a few videos of a has-been pop group. Turns out that the has-been pop group is homophobic and you have to do a LOT of research to find this out. The owner of the channel is openly gay and two members of the band that I love are also gay. The homophobic has been pop group had the UA-cam channel taken down immediately!! The owner of the UA-cam channel has a ton of followers who are there for the band I love. They are almost as famous as the band itself! After a long ordeal the homophobic group relented. As long as the channel owner took down her videos of the has been homophobic group, she could have her channel back. This happened about three years ago. What that group did was unfair and dishonest. They claimed copyright stuff and I KNOW that’s within their rights, but some of her videos of them were at least five years old at the time and that had very little viewer activity. It’s fine if they wanted their videos taken down, but, they demanded the channel owner’s channel be taken down immediately. The management of has been pop group was so hateful about all of this. This I did happen to send them a tweet about them being homophobic to the point of taking a UA-cam channel down because they didn’t want to be associated with the gay owner or have their videos next to an openly gay band. The day after I sent the tweet……the owner got their channel back.
