Yes, our @YouTube is down too. No word of warning whatsoever and an immediate shut down from @TeamYouTube because of 'violations of community guidelines' which is not the case. Submitted appeal forms and of course, no response. @TeamYouTube what is happening?
We thrive to build a friendly & supportive community that takes the loneliness out of being an entrepreneur. It's amazing to see our #socialentrepreneurs being accountable for each other and supporting each other through the ups and downs of #startup life. #SocEnt#SocBiz ✨
