This will cost you some series ad revenue @YouTube

A.I. should be assisting your proccess, not doing it for you.

Update on the 'human' appeal.

Denied.

No videos cited.
No changes specified.
No engagement with the evidence.

A generic template asking me to "refine my content" without identifying what that means.

Three template responses now. Three.
Not one piece of evidence engaged with.
Not one specific claim addressed.
Not one human assessment of the actual work.

Three years of work.
A documented production stack.
Paid commercial licensing.
154 episodes.
A 5-hour arc finale shipped this month.
A public dossier laid out 48 hours ago with receipts on every claim.

The reply: a paragraph. A template.

I've asked yet again for specifics. Until those arrive, the 90-day window is theoretical. I cannot fix what they will not name.

Episode 155 is up on Patreon later today. I will admit, it's going to be shorter than usual. Dealing with this all week ate into the time the episode would have, and I'm exhausted.
Times like this I wish I had a template I could lean on to ship faster.

The work is still there, the love is still there, and the story moves forward.
Patreon is now where this will exclusively live for early access.

Thank you to the thousands of you who made that floor real this week.
Thank you to the 100+ who joined Patreon within 24 hours.
Thank you to my 21 Demigod-tier patrons (6 in the last 48hrs) paying $75 a month each for "slop."

I'm done asking for appeals. I want the evidence. @TeamYouTube - which videos triggered this? What specifically failed compliance? If you can't name either, the decision has no basis. I cannot fix what you will not identify, and I will not pretend the 90-day window is real until you can.

I dont do this often, heck I'm barely on here these days but I had to speak up for my favorite channel on YouTube!

[TheAIGuy @WeDoAIStuff]

One screenshot. YouTube's own dashboard. Same channel, within two days

Three days ago YouTube demonetised my channel of 154 episodes for "inauthentic content - mass produced." My appeal came back denied yesterday.

The same week, YouTube's own analytics tool generated this assessment of my latest episode: "performing exceptionally well... an outlier in the best possible way."

I've spent 3 years, working 50-70 hours per week building a serialised D&D campaign in an original world, with an audience of 1,250+ paying supporters across BOTH YouTube + Patreon, 500 of whom are now being cut off from supporting what they love, losing membership badges they've held for 2+ years.

If nothing else, this is unfair to them, and the damage is done.

The denial cites "similar template across multiple videos" as the reason. That criteria applies to every podcast, every gameplay channel, every long-form actual play show on YouTube. I'd genuinely like to understand what specifically distinguishes my work from the formats YouTube actively recommends.

The denial also says I can reapply in 90 days "after making changes." But the same email says they can't tell me which videos triggered the decision. You can't fix what you can't identify.

And at the risk of repeating myself, what good does that do for the woman who has been with the channel for 1 year 8 months, or the man for 2 years 5 months? Nothing. They're two of the 500 people now being cut off from supporting work they love, through no decision of their own. Or mine.

To @TeamYouTube - please open this case for human review. Every cited claim has been addressed with evidence in the replies below.

To my audience - please be respectful and polite if you engage. The work continues. I'll see you all Friday on Patreon.

@RJ2833 @ObviousRises You should meet women at events like DnD, paintball or gaming lobbies. You'll find much better female friends that way. I know I did!

@TheLaurenChen What about their black ancestors who sold them into slavery?

@GovTimWalz I'd tell you to touch some grass but you legit set your state on fire to hide your theft of American tax dollars 🤷‍♂️

@LeeDanCleef @MyTimeToShineH Lot of "then dont watch it" cope. This is why Marvel is failing in the first place. We aren't watching it, and the franchise can't survive on you copeheads long term lol

@RickPow56149999 @RealCandaceO Yeah, after the Crowder incident I started questioning what she really stood for. Turning Point and other orgs should dump her crazy ass 😒

[Robando @AScialis]

@AntiWuCoalition I found those LUCE hotline posters in Salem, disgusting.

[Robando @AScialis]

Just found this outside the Museum Place Mall in Salem. Is this really the image @CityofSalemMA want to present? That this is the city of homeless and illegals?

[Robando @AScialis]

@HauntdHappnings Just be sure to avoid all the #homelessness that's gotten out of control in this city. I'd love to take part in this festival but I'd rather not get harassed by addicts and bums.

[Robando @AScialis]

@Salem_ma Trying to dodge all the #homeless we got here these days. Over a dozen can be found just outside the post office and on the brick walkway.

[Robando @AScialis]

#halloween #Salem #homeless
Welcome to Salem, where over a dozen homeless call the post office home. You can spot several more at the court house as well other popular tourist spots.

Ep. 19 Debate Night with Donald J Trump

@HARRISONSCOMICS was told by employees to wear a mask despite their own employees not wearing them. When questioned they disregarded it. I wont be shopping here again.
