The vampires couldn't agree on whether to eat their prisoner.
He heard every word.
Be sure to catch @MariaVoiceActor
As Selendra & @OmniVaultStudio as Tristian Grimwald in this Dark Fantasy Audio Drama!
Link in comments to full ep.
@vidIQ Getting pushed to the right audience, with the algorithm. I have your extension. Do everything right but still get slapped in the face with it a lot.
@nealmohan@YouTube Of course you posted record profits. You falsely demonetize small creators like myself, and a good chunk of my niche, while the big-time creators get every benefit of the doubt. Fix your broken system before you post this.
๐ง This Sat @ 6 PM: grab your headphones and catch your favorite PI / serial killer / anti-heroine, Rayne Shadow.
HUGE turning point, just 2 episodes left.
Meanwhile I'm prepping Ep 7 of The Darken Realms + editing Ep 9.
Weekly reminder: I'm ๐ซ not AI.

The realms are splitting apart, and nobody's safe on either side. Episode 6 of The Darken Realms, "Realms Apart," is live now. Full cast. Real voice actors. No AI. ๐ซ

@SubscribrAI No this still makes no sense. I have 2 audio drama shows majority of the same cast. Providing educational value of the ep. Original script/ as well as va always credited and we STILL got caught up in the mass demonetization.
@TeamYouTube My channel was demonetized April 6 under the mass-produced policy, but it's original full-cast horror audio drama with credited voice actors and my own scripts. The AI misread a run of Shorts. Requesting a manual re-review, details in DMs. https://t.co/MWKHi8C4jE
@larahorrorsfx They're changing the hits. Not just me but another creator is now ' unsatisfying or off putting.' Were you able to reapply today? I'm not showing my face. To much privacy stuff to do with that. I showed my face in the appeal vid. LMK if you got back in. I cant until watch time is
PS: If you're a viewer, this affects you, too. YouTube is honing their bots to take out whole genres and thereby are telling you what you should find interesting and worthwhile. Instead of yelling at the creators, maybe it's time to start putting the pressure where it belongs.
As of yesterday, our 'inauthentic content' flag was reclassified to this. This isn't an isolated case. Another horror channel hit with the same 'inauthentic' label got the identical change. Horror creators are being targeted.
Have you heard of "Unsatisfying or off-putting content?" Neither had I until some of my narrator friends started seeing their reason for demonetization get updated to this. Seems it's yet another quiet policy change happening to further zero in on faceless, narration, and similar channel types.
Anything but transparency. Anything but clear guidelines we'd al be happy to follow. Anything but the authenticity they demand from us while enforcing policies with bots that don't know a human from a content farm.
I used to think YouTube was broken. I'm starting to think it's functioning exactly as intended.
If you're considering using YouTube, build your IP and use YouTube only for audience-building. There is zero reason to trust them the way things are. Do not put your monetary trust in this platform.
@YouTubeCreators This feature would've been great! Had we didn't get hit by the demonetization automation bot! We are in the middle of a thriller and a dark fantasy audio drama series.
