So a sad day for me.. my youtube channel where I was documenting building my little off grid organic farm in the jungle in India over the last few years, was just deleted by youtube, because they are a bunch of cunts.

It was not quite Clarkson's Farm (@JeremyClarkson) of course, but I had plans!

It was a small channel, maybe 30 videos from the last 2 or 3 years... no loss to them.. but they lose not only me as a creator, but me as a consumer/viewer of content and their ads.. I used to watch a lot of YT on my tv but that has ended... and I'm not the only one. I instead consume content on my tv from other platforms now: @Dailymotion @Substack and others, as well as @NetFlix of course. Anything but YT.

This saga started after I began a new project - since I lost my job last year (replaced by AI) and have been unable to find a new job at this age (over 50), I hoped to become a travel vlogger/creator.. nothing fancy, starting with just POV videos filmed by me of my travels, with my new @insta360 camera... and I planned to experiment with different styles/formats over time and see what worked best.

I was about 3 weeks into my intended 3 months of content filming travel and had maybe 4 or 5 long form videos and a few shorts published so far, and many more planned. All original content, no AI generated content.

Then after just a few weeks of posting, they suddenly deleted my channel with no warning and claiming I've broken their rules against spam/scams etc.. which is complete nonsense.

They've refused to provide any evidence of that, no specific details on what I allegedly did wrong (because there is nothing), and refused to reinstate the channel, refused to check again, and now they ignore my messages.

So my planned 3 month trip effectively ended after about 3 weeks... all the time and money invested gone to waste, all my plans crushed. At a time when I am unemployed, with now zero income, this was and is a painful loss.

Deleting that new channel also means I'm no longer allowed to have ANY channel on YT which means when I logged into my old farm channel today (actually to download my vids before they could delete), they immediately deleted that one as well. Luckily I have the originals backed up somewhere for all my channels.

I will not appeal that, because YT is dead to me now and forever. Fuck YouTube.

All my content for all my former YT channels will be published instead on other platforms including here on @X

I have had to rethink everything, make a new plan, build redundancy and platform independence into everything, and assume that the chances of success are now much much lower due to the loss of such a big distribution platform for my travel vlog (and my other channels such as the farm building).

In my opinion, it is now very unwise for small creators to rely on YT.. they can destroy your business, your dreams, in an instant and there's nothing you can do about it. Plan accordingly.

So in summary, again... fuck youtube.

Where is the tv app for X videos @elonmusk ? It is needed.

Lone tourist over 50 takes a "quiet" walk around Paharganj in Delhi

4K video, POV, no talking, just walking.

Will I survive? Is it as bad as some people say? (*spoiler* it's not!)

See for yourself...

Is your dream to retire from tech to live on a farm?

[Illogical Coder @IllogicalCoder]

At what point do solodevs, founders, vibe coders, startup builders etc give up as Gemini 3/4/5 make us all irrelevant?

AI will generate the app ideas, AI will generate the apps from the ideas, AI will market apps, AI will pocket the money...

Never ask your users what they want.. they don't know what you know about your product, and quite frankly in most cases they don't know what's good for them.

Give them what you want.

Educate them to appreciate your genius.

We are the first one in the entire payments and billing space to do this, and super excited to lead the way forward to build the future of monetization for the future. 🚀

[Ayush Agarwal @ayushagarwal]

Code is no longer the bottleneck.
The real bottleneck is knowing what’s worth building.
