@CaptainSparklez It's because you don't have an Official Artist Channel. OACs are immune to them own content IDs on them music. I've had a few songs under Youtube's content ID and I've never had been content ID from my own music before.
I was thinking for a long time to change my name. The reason why I've waited this long and still waiting, is because I don't know how this will go, music distribution isn't like 'Here Funtime, here's the form to change your artist name', it's not like on Facebook or anywhere to change your name and will apply instantly. The process will go by me losing followers, streams, Spotify verification (Yeah, Spotify now requires authenticity rather than claiming the profile) and could affect my income. It's so scary how this will go, but if I'll not lose anything, will be such a relief to have a shorter and easier name to pronounce and something to characterize me as an artist and internet personality with persona. Just an update to my life. Let me know in the comments down below if I should change my name or keep this one.
Hey guys! Sorry for not being that active in posting videos and music, but I have a ton of work over my head for my company @Funcords and taking the driver license. But I promise when the work will be done, I'll be posting daily. Expect new music, but slowly. I do have 2 or so songs to distribute and post the videos. Again, I'm so sorry for not being that active in this community that I love it to death.
Woke up today and saw that @Spotify@spotifyartists unverified me after ~6 years of being verified. Now what? As how I know, anyone can distribute music under my name and/or create a new page and no one will know which one it's actually me. So remember guys, this is my official Spotify artist page that've been up since 2020 and with ~2.5M total streams:

I finally took the username 'Funtime3Freddy3' on PSN online ID. But 2 or so years ago, it couldn't be taken. And don't tell me that 'Oh, somebody grab it before you', because the error message at 'Check availability' was telling me 'Something went wrong' and other usernames could be checked. But here's a story even funnier. I've pressed to change the id's username and with a miracle the username was available. But when to pay the $9.99 changing fee, I couldn't add my romanian card. Then I saw that my account's region/country is in United States. So I tried changing it. Nope, learned that you cannot actually change it. So @playstation 's system fucked up so badly thinking that I'm in the US and set my Play Station account's region to United States, when I've created and been using for more than 10 years my account in Romania! I'm laughing my ass so hard, because even them 'support agents' couldn't fix this oopsie and revert the system's decision. Lucky me, for some reason @PayPal didn't fucked my account, so I paid with it. But I don't trust Paypal at all, so I'll never buy anything from them again. You're lucky @PlayStation , because I'll never buy anything from you again and that I finally could take my username, I'm gonna be human with you guys and don't report this to the consumer protection/geo-blocking/unfair account-region lock issue here in the EU and we'll never see each other ever again. Take this as a win and fix your shits. I'm not ranting to feel better, I'm making this post to warn people that PlayStation can at any moment change your account's region to whatever the system decide. Cheers!
If you're not happy with @youtube and any platforms' cut, then build your own website, use @stripe or anything as the payment provider or even better, build your own payment provider and see for yourself why they're taking a cut. Document yourself better that building a business isn't easy at all. I have my own payment provider on my site that uses Stripe as the payment collector and Stripe also takes a fee like 2.9% + $0.30 per sale. I understand what you're saying, Youtube makes a lot of money from ads, but they're not making or recovering the money from donations, subscriptions, etc transactions that have been processed and collected through them payment provider. It's like @Steam payment provider, developers are given 70% from each sale of them game. As said, if you want to avoid them fees, build a website from scratch, use stripe and something to show the donations to your @OBSProject and that's it.
Funtime3Freddy3 - Chased (Coming Soon)
I've made this song from a dream that keeps coming from time to time. The dream is about me being in known or familiar places and random FNAF animatronics are chasing me and the only thing I can do in that moment is either run, hide or beg for mercy. I don't know what's the meaning of this in psychological terms, but my artistic vision composed and made this song.
My videos pages on my website will get an update. I don't want to use the @YouTube's API data for showing my youtube videos. I'll upload them on my VPS and show them there. Until then, those pages will be in beta. Also, my songs: 'Sunflower', 'Buenos Aires', 'Friends Forever', 'Gypsy Party (Feat. Freddy the Games)', 'The Pirates of The Autumn iLand', 'The Nuke' and 'The Circus' had been taken down from Too Lost's greedy hands as well and are now in @distrokid's hands. More soon.
Tried to get a USA P.O Box for future fan mail and the mail company is using Persona for the identity verification of the notarization process and I instantly cancelled my account, because Persona has experienced security and data privacy concerns in the past and I didn't wanted my personal infos to be in them hands, knowing how bad that verification provider is. This reminds me to how France got a huge ID data breach recently. Not surprising at all. But hey, soon I'll get a P.O Box and I'll start a fan mail.
@distrokid rejected my new remix for Doo Roo Too, a song that Gento Bareto made with Peekay Mzee. I just hate when distributors gets in our way when we, the artists, are doing business. Distrokid also wants Peekay Mzee's ID on twitter, a place where it's public, just to comply. This is a privacy violation and we all 3 can agree with. Why should Gento Bareto and Peekay Mzee give them IDs on twitter, a public space, when people can steal them IDs and use them? This is just a stupid comply, if you're asking me. I don't want to release the official video of this remix, until Distrokid approves it. I just wanted to let you know guys.
Remember the EU age verification app from this video? https://t.co/cooQkrcull
Well, it got hacked. This shows how insecure having your ID document on the EU's or any other government's or anyone's servers. So parents and people, stop shoveling this idea because it isn't secured in the first place. Keep fighting for your freedom and right to privacy when using the internet!
