I was served your 'I'm demonitized ' video which was the first I'd seen from you. But I'm fascinated by your content and love your style. Binged for a few hours and subscribed. I'm sure I'm not the only one. So there is a small side benefit of your time in the twilight zone.
@@emilyrln isn't there a cheese sword in the witcher 3 ? a side quest about a cheese mage and you get a sword as a reward. I think I remember something like that.
Only when they're dragged into it and can't ignore it. Because that's how it works; any other way would cost them more than the bare minimum amount of money.
I was fasting, from cheese, until you were up and running. Not gonna lie, I thought Christmas Eve dinner would be bleak. Gonna have a celebratory Havarti omelet for breakfast!
Absolutely. This is probably intentional and automatic by UA-cam. Just randomly demonetize channels, make the process complicated and frustrating to get re-instated. It will save them a ton of money.
@@Notdave29 I prefer to believe that UA-cam is now an incomprehensible Cthulhu-esque mess, even to the people running it, because the people who built and designed it a decade ago, have been made redundant for cheaper, less experienced staff who can't fathom how things work but know that "press button, light come on" that fixes most things. That's usually how these things go but technology now has "machine learning" which means that very quickly even the people who designed things have no idea how they work, and this is seen as a good thing...🤔
@@Notdave29 From what I understand, UA-cam wasn't running ads on the channel at all, meaning they weren't making money off ads so how would it save them money? They were losing money because the only option for supporting Jill directly in the past few days was through patreon, which unlike UA-cam membership, UA-cam doesn't get to take a cut out of
@ Because if they randomly demonetize thousands of accounts, some of those will be channels they run ads on. Key word being randomly. No one at UA-cam decided to demonetize anyone. I assume it’s just a random script that does it automatically because this isn’t unusual or rare. It happens to thousands of creators all the time.
@@botcl-games That's a feature. If the 'AI' is responsible, and they don't know how the AI makes its decisions, that's called plausible deniability and is a useful thing to have in court.

🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🌞⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔ excellent start to the Christmas List! 🗝🗝🗝🕯(Plus a couple of keys to some random castles, always handy, and a candle to barely light your way! I can see the video game now, if I squint!) See you next year!
Congratulations! That is awesome! I'm so glad to hear that your channel is now monetised again. It's such a relief. Christmas miracles DO happen after all. I wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and an incredible, cheesy and creative 2025.
0:56 Good to know that someone had a brain and realized that if you don’t know, and they don’t know, then there’s no good reason to keep you there. If there was a good reason, they can inform you of said reason and take it back, but I strongly doubt that will happen.
So happy for you, and I'm glad about the amount your channel was promoted, because now I'm subbed to a new interesting channel I never knew I needed before.
This experience proved that you can make interesting, compelling content out of literally anything, including your own demonetization. But I am so glad to see this random injustice undone swiftly. A holiday miracle indeed.
Whether or not its the case, I always blame Windows Updates when a setting gets shut off or switched. Glad you are back! You and your family have a wonderful holiday!
WOOOOOHHH!! I've been quietly following the whole issue and I'm glad that, even if the reason hasn't been discovered, the issue got fixed. Now if only they were clear about the reasons…which seems there was none to begin with 💀
Mysterious swords and mysterious demonetization, it's never a dull moment with you, m' lady. Question on the book: are there still physical copies, and if not, do you ever plan on printing more?
The book is print on demand, so if you have Amazon where you are, you can order it! (Or Barnes and noble, or Dymocks, or…most bookshops can order it in)
I had a similar incident with a courier company where someone scanned my parcel with their scanner in the wrong mode so instead of the scan saying it was now at the depot or whatever, it said it was delivered. This is a common mistake and normally gets fixed automatically the next time the parcel receives a scan. The problem was that the next update to my parcel said that it had been damaged (probably got crushed by a forklift or something). I had a hell of a time convincing anyone at the courier company that they had damaged and subsequently lost my parcel because of that mistake. Took about 3 months to clear up.
Welcome back. Its been like the story of Little Red Swordhood wandering down the winding path where you can't see around the next corner, through the UA-cam forest, finding how dark it is inside the wolf of demonetisation, cutting her way out with a dagger, then coming back to us. I so hope you do a parody of this ... with swords, daggers and outfits of course.
Awesome! Congratulations! I was about to say "Some cheese to celebrate!" when you shared that ppl have been adding notes "you should buy some cheese" on Coffee.
Let the good times roll! And also, importantly, let the good times and even all the medium times not suddenly stop rolling, or even not have the entire account completely disabled, out of nowhere and completely uncalled for! Yay that!
Congratulations Jill! That's wonderful! Also I'm loving your sword fights in movies. This is such a fun channel. I'm so sorry you went through this, but I'm glad I found your channel!
Congrats for being back to monetisation in UA-cam. It's seems that shaming UA-cam finally worked. I'm very happy for you. Thanks everyone for helping out I also need to let you know I have bought cheese today...
OMG YAY!!!! I’m so glad to hear this!!! Hahaha figures that we still don’t know why this happened or how it got fixed but hey, that’ll give us something to think about on rainy days I guess? XD Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and Happy Winter Holiday Season In General!!
So glad to hear you have FINALLY got UA-cam to get this sorted for you. A Christmas miracle indeed! Perhaps put a few quick two minutes videos (taking a morning walk?) to keep the algorithm appeased if you can find the time, but understand if you take the rest! Hope you have a great Christmas when it comes. 🎄🎄🎁🎁🎄🎄
The update we’ve all been waiting for! It feels so respectful of your audience to keep us looped in even after the “call to action” has died down. Not sure I’ve ever seen a youtuber give a “stand down, no need for extra attention” order. Makes the whole channel stand out just a little bit more tbh
So... the lesson to take away from this is that large creators whose primary income comes from non-adsense sources need to SHUT DOWN their channel's adsense accounts and refuse advertisements on their videos. Turn being a successful creator into a net liability for UA-cam and tell them that you decided that their adsense program wasn't worth the effort and that you'll reconsider when evidence of a much-needed revamp that improves responsiveness comes to light.
Congratz! I'd say you posted quite a bit of extensive material already, you have more than earned some good rest over christmas. Happy holidays to you and your loved ones.
Beethoven's 9th in the background, the very end in that moment of absolute serenity when it feels like everyone you ever knew who has passed away stands welcoming you back to the light - apt!
This has been the stupidest Kafka-esque experience I have ever been part of, but hey, at least we're back now. Merry Christmas, friends.
Merry Christmas, Jill!

What verse does Sir Humphrey have on his Christmas Cards?
“Of the increase of his Government…there shall be no end” 😂
It's so comforting that our most efficient means of getting basic services and attention is shame and the fear of bad publicity.
and that "most efficient" still takes 10 days
This could all just be a cunning UA-cam plot to increase audience engagement numbers.
SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!
Always was

Huzzah! Maybe UA-cam got visited by 3 ghosts and have seen the error of their ways 🤣
Yeah, and I bet that late health insurance CEO was one of them.
WooHoo, congrats!
V poetic, well done 😂
More likely, spammed by sword/cheese enthusiasts to a similar result. :)

You should have run when you had the chance, but now that you're here have your charcuterie board secret decoder ring.
same here
Not worth the Stress you plonker
Hurrah.
Now… ten days of back pay?
UA-cam: hahahaha, oh wait youre serious let me laugh even harder HAHAHAHA
Nope. How do think youtube shows a profit? Gotta rip off the content creators
Nope, youtube will keep all the money she earned during this time. I think they steal on purpose.
There were no ads, ergo no back-pay. Creators don't get a "salary" they just get a cut of the ad revenue.
Lol, that would be DECENT, but since no one in America actually has any labor protections, it won't happen.
Three ghosts visited UA-cam. “God bless us everyone”

UA-cam actually did some work... it is a literal miracle.
Glad to hear Jill's Cheese and Sword fund is restored!
I misread that as "cheese sword fund" and got really excited for a second there 😂
@ LOL It would count as cheese and a sword so…

Look out! Problems that go away by by themselves come back by themselves.
Yep. Chances are that whatever tickled the automated lock-out is still there, lurking, waiting, in its house in R’lyeh.

The kicker is that the same is also true for the A.I. themselves. What a bright future we find ourselves is.

Its terrifying. Like, how are they not tracking that?
They probably know, they're just not admitting anything.
