    This is not meant to entice donations AT ALL. We are incredibly frustrated that we will not be paid for our work over the past 2 months and the donations people have given through youtube thus far will be going directly into their pocket, not to our channel or even refunded back to you. We really just wanted to let everyone know why we may not be able to be a UA-cam channel. Thank you for the view over the years. We have also had several comments telling us to upload to rumble. Those comments are being deleted but not by us. We do however already upload on rumble.

    I just challenged my donation which i apparently made through Apple Payments
    Here’s what I wrote by way of explanation for Refund request
    “I donated a Super Thanks to a UA-cam channel that has been demonetized.
    The channel creators are receiving NO payments, INCLUDING Super Thanks donations, and they are urging their followers to please not donate since they won’t even get it!
    I feel this a scam by definition on UA-cam’s part since they unfairly created the situation for these content creators and are not entitled to keep my donated money!”

  • @saywhat2698
    @saywhat2698 4 місяці тому +1

    The problem is that YT has a monopole so they can do whatever they want. Idk why they decided to demonetize you but it's really f***ed up that they took your super thanks money, that's donations not add revenue, I don't even know how they can legally take that money, even if it's stated in their terms and conditions.
    This is the first time I'm encountering your channel so idk what your content is like but my general advice is, watch out for provocative nudity, music copyright and avoid talking positively about right wing politics cuz they don't like that, being extremely left, I've seen many channels get demonitized for those reasons. Ofc try to appeal even though it's usually unsuccessful.
    Since UA-cam can be a persons 'job' - main source of income, they shouldn't be able to just demonetize people without telling them why and for reasons that they just make up, it's totally unregulated.

With these guys who knows, maybe the government is starting to see too many people deciding to go boondocking and they would rather see them working at a job instead of making videos on youtube. So this discourages others who think of making a living on youtube by boondocking.

      If they’re NOT getting monetized for few months now (since February’s pay,) UA-cam STILL pushing their video’s is only working in THEIR (UA-cam’s) favor.
      As the couple stated, the more views the video gets, the more $ UA-cam receives.

      To be fair people exploit the traffic and youtube probably got burned for lots of money , I know i did fake clicks in the beginning, made a click bot even had different account to do it and all for fun not any profit, before youtube was profit. You just hit refresh and you get an extra view, it was that simple to boost your view count in the begining. I always wondered why we had to jump through all these hoops so our favourite youtuber gets paid(llike, share, subscribe, ring the bell, and now comment!)_ im sure youtube is being greedy but it probably came from the fact they were trying to get rid of fake trafffic. And youtubers get their audience to engage in fake engagment all the time asking them to leave a comment, so they're doing it to themselves in a way. Asking someone to like and comment is fake engagement but everyone does it like its nothing, but anyway I sympathsize, had one of my vidoes flagged and removed for illegal content promoting some kind of criminal activity and it was just playing guitar, no vocals either so theres some collateral damage for sure.

    Congratulations you are the lucky winner and have been chosen to get screwed by UA-cam. This is not a coincidence, it is no doubt by choice. You are not the first channel to have this done to you. You are one of several that have had to fight to get your monetization back. The entire UA-cam system needs a complete revamp. But then again, why change when you're on the winning end?😢

    Sorry to hear about this happening. The funny thing is that your channel seems to be promoted more now as your videos seem to be popping up in my feed.

Make it known that due to the recent exposure on the popular Bob Wells CheapRVLiving channel, you got a big bump in views. That you are legitimate and they are wrong to withhold all donations and monies due you! We know you are just hanging on, hoping to get your subscriber numbers up enough to subsist on, without having to quit this lifestyle altogegether.

    Being a fairly new subscriber (joined in mid/late March), I want you to know that I really appreciate your channel.… I subscribed because you bring some realism (the good, the bad and the ugly) about your daily lives and life on/with UA-cam. I’m a Veteran, and I try to focus on Veteran run channels, or at least those with Veterans in their families.
    Maybe you are defying the algorithmic odds by having a fairly clean/wholesome/real channel that people are catching onto… It goes against ‘the norm’ of what Google wants to promote.
    I know the demonetization stings and sucks… But look at this as a badge of honor… As you’re growing a the right way, and not succumbing to the AI overlords…
    Y’all are awesome… And we appreciate you and all the hard work you put into this…

    Hello friends, the same thing happened to me for 're-uploading content without substantially changing it' . For example, if you found a funny Instagram post and just uploaded it to youtube etc. 99% of my content is mine but every once in a while i'd find something relatable to my channel ie - a dog snoring etc and put some funny music to it and upload it. This is against the rules and they provide no warning or strikes for this breach of the terms. I'm not sure if that video about Bob wells was your own content but it's possible that their AI bot's determined that it was 're-uploaded' content. A 3 month ban with no strike policy is in my opinion a scam so youtube can make more money. Surely there should be a warning system in place etc. UA-cam's AI is monitoring the channels and the views and if you have a video that blows up it flags it and then checks if it's re-uploaded content etc. You will have to delete that vid that went viral and re-apply in a few months. They did send me an email with the details. Good luck

      If you get a copyright strike it’s for a specific video. UA-cam demonetized our entire channel. All 6 years of our videos were ineligible for monetization (though they were still running ads ). We still have no idea why it happened , no answers or explanations. We are now monetized again though.

This is called 'Reused content - Content is not clearly an original creation of this channel, and may have been repurposed from another source without adding significant original commentary, substantive modifications or educational or entertainment value' . That's what happened to me anyway, and the same thing got demonetized for 3 months with no warning. Cheers

    UA-cam keeping all the money is the reason.
    The same situation happened to us BEFORE we were monitized our channel made alot of money FOR UA-cam, once we were monetized, nothing changed on our channel EXCEPT all our stats dropped and the revenue fell off drastically (NOW - only $1 per day for 10+ hours each day).
    Is it a coincidence that once UA-cam had to share revenue with us our channel stats/revenue dropped?

    I think UA-cam has to verify view numbers on viral videos. I've noticed recently that when one of my videos gets 5 to 10 thousand views in a short period of time, the view numbers the audience sees is way behind what my analytics shows. I think they're just verifying the view numbers. If a video of mine gets 5 thousand views in a short period of time the audience only sees the video has 700 views but I see the video got 5 thousand views and the actual view numbers doesn't update until a day later.

If even 10% of your YT audience joined, it'd just about get you to the level YT SHOULD be paying you. It's a little more work, and she said it was tough to make the switch from just uploading a video every week to interacting more often, and she did still upload a short video here every other week, just to keep something here for newcomers who stumble on the channel, but they always funneled people toward her patreon.

    Maybe it was the recipe about a Jewish dish and what you said about comments. Algorithms could use words in any context to flag so once the review of that segment is done the context won't be discovered? With the war over there and the terrorism you know everybody is scared of violence. You could be a victim of the fear or risk UA-cam is wary of what creators say.
    So, UA-cam may be leveraging some punitive damage to you as a way of punishment to display its position for something political percieved by algorithm being proffered through your channel.
