As some may know my wife was recently diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma (breast cancer). This has been devastating emotionally, physically and thanks to US Healthcare system financially as well.

We are going to sue YouTube

But before we do, our lawyer is currently in the process of sending a letter to YouTube.

Over 2 weeks ago our channel https://t.co/n40YMVzSp7 was falsely demonetized under the "inauthentic content" policy.

Demonetized doesn't mean no ads though, all it means is YouTube will still run ads on the videos. But they pocket all the revenue, essentially stripping all the revenue from us.

We don't claim to be the pinnacle of quality content standards, but the following things do cause us to scratch our heads in confusion

1. All of the bigger channels in the same niche as us are monetized with no issues
2. We literally voice act, edit, etc, all our own videos while 100s of AI storytelling channels are still monetized
3. YouTube is fine with running ads on the videos, pocketing all the revenue. We assume if YouTube had such a big problem with the content, why still serve it to your advertisers?
4. 100s of reaction channels still stay monetized

Some examples of bigger monetized channels that are in the same niche as us are:
rSlash: https://t.co/xz5uTLol38
DarkFluff: https://t.co/bqptmUDkEa
Oz's Vault: https://t.co/zQiEMUIhOZ

We support these channels, the reason we are providing these channels as examples is to showcase how it feels like we're being targeted.

This has caused extreme distress for my team and I. Many of our livelihoods and families rely on this channel. Our community relies on the UnderSparked channel.

Many people support the UnderSparked channel because in a time of nonstop AI channels, we stepped up and used real voice actors to cater to that connection and community that viewers on YouTube crave.

We truly believe this demonetization was done in error, all we want is a real human specialist to help us fix the issue.

We're tired of constantly receiving only copy and pasted templated responses, constantly neglecting/dismissing our attempts at fixing the false demonetization.

We're kindly requesting for a representative from @TeamYouTube to help us fix this demonetization issue with our channel.

We don't want to send letters, or sue, or anything! We simply just want to go back to producing content for our community.

AMAZING NEWS!!

Minnesota has JUST charged white supremacist Jake Lang with 2 FELONY HATE CRIMES (5+ years in prison) for knocking over this ice sculpture.

Trump can’t pardon him from these crimes.

[Kevin @peinek]

Speaking of the US Healthcare system thanks to the CentraCare layoffs Amy had lost her job, not only was this a loss of income, but also her health insurance, and critical illnesses coverage. Attached is a link to a support now page. Any support is greatly appreciated.

And I couldn't finish my last set of squats

[Kevin @peinek]

I hate that I am struggling to squat 265 lbs, but guess its all part of rebuilding after an injury.

Watching the strike into Venezuela gave me flashbacks of watching new footage from the Shock and Awe strikes in 03. I feel disgusted that a nation i once served would carry these actions out again, though I am not surprised.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

22 years ago the U.S. did this in Iraq when they arrested Saddam Hussein.

Republicans and Democrats yelled “never again!”

MAGA voted for Trump to avoid this.

Last night history repeated itself as Trump attacked Venezuela and arrested Maduro. Now MAGA cheers and pretends the last 22 years never happened. Why? Because they can’t disagree with their cult leader.

I posted that excerpt of gospel to say this. Love one another and help when you can

[Kevin @peinek]

Thank you @Pontifex

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.

[Reuters @Reuters]

Pope Leo presided over the Christmas Eve mass in Vatican City and said the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God https://t.co/i6vDcMuIuH

So the @American_Heart released their updates for 2025 and I am reviewing the instructor updates. It got me thinking to the @JokersTBS and when they were teaching CPR. After the bit, did the folks get actual CPR training or did they just get here sign these papers?
