Just remember, if you want to put your content on youtube be sure you're demonetized by cursing up a storm. (not real advice. I think.)

Maybe, but Amazon has one thing that Google seems to take pride in avoiding - customer service. I can't help but think of the mass banning they did of people who spammed emoji in chat for a game streamer by request to vote on which di
