- goda90 8y agoI think it literally might have just gone back up. The discord is discussing it this very minute.
- jerf 8y agoSomebody tell the author about youtube-dl.
- AdmiralAsshat 8y agoEven at the highest quality, you'd only be getting Youtube's post-compression copies of the videos, no?
- ehsankia 8y agoIt irks me how, with most of these take down controversies, the creator doesn't even try contacting Youtube anymore. They go straight to making a big fiery video and post it on all social media sites. They always have bold claims with zero proof. I don't understand how the author can just assume the cause and intent of this take down when he hasn't even contacted Youtube yet. To me it sounds like a misunderstanding or bug.
- MiddleEndian 8y agoSeems like the most effective way to get one's channel back.
- highace 8y agoHave you ever tried contacting Google?
- craftinator 8y agoYes! It's a completely awesome and dehumanizing experience, and achieved nothing.
- reificator 8y agoI've heard multiple content creators express their displeasure with effectively not being able to get a response via any support channels. These are people with plaques on their walls from YouTube for meeting subscriber thresholds, not a dude with 2 views on all their videos. If you have years of experience sending support queries to /dev/null, at what point is it okay to just start assuming it's a waste of time? 2 attempts? 10? 50?
- CaliforniaKarl 8y agoNear the end of the post, the author does say: > I haven’t heard back from YouTube yet on the appeal I submitted. To be fair, we don't know how much time has elapsed between submitting the appeal and making the Medium post.
- ehsankia 8y agoThe post says: > I awoke this morning to a barrage of messages from fans of mine wondering where my content had gone. Since this blog post was posted today, it seems like not very long.
- JustSomeNobody 8y agoWho are they going to contact? Does Google/YouTube have a Customer Service Department? From everything I've read, no, they don't.
