YouTube have removed my latest video after 3 days (7 hour video and 1.5 years of work).
My focus has always been a love of building things and sharing this with others.
Apparently it violates ToS, I appealed and it was rejected in 5 minutes.
Hopefully I can get a human involved who recognises it as educational or can tell me the exact issue π€·π»ββοΈ

I have no idea what to do or how to talk to a human, if you have any ideas let me know, or tag @TeamYouTube
When I posted my first video I thought 10k views would be insane
Now 10k subs and 220k views on 1st Jan 2025 - hopefully itβs a sign of more to come (or maybe Iβm just being superstitious)
Either way itβs something cool and Iβm grateful it happened
Happy New Year π
@erwin_reviews I appreciate that, thanks.
And yeah - it sucks.
I have appealed and we'll have to see what YouTube says. Otherwise those are good ideas, I will have to upload to other platforms.
A few people have said my work is AI.
Not sure if that's a compliment or a criticism. Part of me thinks it's that AI has lowered people's endurance to tolerate pain for long periods of time in the pursuit of something great (with no guarantee of success).
I can't even begin to calculate the amount of hours I have dedicated to my craft. I did it before AI, and I'll continue doing it after AI.
I want to spend time battling with difficult things I find interesting rather than farting out AI slop for likes and a quick buck.
Maybe I'm a masochist in that sense, or maybe that's what separates us: those who enjoy the journey vs those who see only to the destination.
Playing around with style transfer (for a video)
Send me a photo + a style > I will run the model and reply with the result π¨
(if it turns out good i'll drop it in the vid)
