  • To those ITT trying to handwave this issue:

    If false DMCA were to happen to the content creators you enjoy, or even YOU, there wont be anyone left to stand up for you.

  • Imagine being a small youtuber dealing with this shit. As pointed out, you have to go on a public forum and basically scream at YouTube and hope it picks up enough steam from others that YouTube finally has a noncopypaste response to your issue.

    Not to derail from the Actman’s own problems. I’m just thinking of the other guys that slipped through the cracks. It’s bullshit, big youtuber or not, being monetized or not. Individuals trying to get videos taken down, corporations taking things down, copyright claims everywhere. It’s a minefield of unhinged crazies trying to doxx you, corporations twisting copyright law further, and youtube’s contradictory rules.

    If someone as big as Actman is getting punished by YouTube, even if only temporary, what hopes do the small channels have?

  • If you think this is bad, wait until you hear how youtube handles music ownership.

    At the end of the day, No accountability = no change. Youtube needs to be held accountable for their fuck ups if we want to see some positive change in the platform.

    That or a competitor miraculously appears tomorrow.

  • My channel got banned 10 years ago for copy rights for video of my friend i filmed in my camera l, the company who claimed copy rights from England no where near us I sent so many emails but YouTube never looked into it.

  • As a youtuber there are several things you can do to partially protect against demonetisation:

    -Have a Patreon, diversified revenue stream

    -In video ads, again, do not rely solely on youtube’s AdSense

    -Short piece of music as intro or outro that you own the full rights to that you can claim in the case of a copyright dispute to get at least half the ad revenue, use their tools against them

    if you got any more let me know

  • This is big problem for smaller creators as well, and it isn’t as easy for us to go on twitter and yell and youtube.

    I myself have a very small channel, and when the algorithm decided to boon me with its gifts, I got a strike on a very old video, which demolished any momentum I had. Apparently making fun of a terrorist organisation is equivalent to “promoting terrorist organisation”.

  • Of all Youtubers to back, why the fuck did they have to side with Quantum?

    They literally targeted the very people that retaliated against his bullshit. Asmongold, ReviewTechUSA, etc. I don’t like these guys. I don’t like Act Man either, he’s up there with Cleanprince for fucking up videogame commentaries and discussions in Youtube at one point, but they’re not the assholes here, Quantum is.

    This is up there with them constantly recommending SSSniperwolf to newcomers as if she has blackmail material against them.

  • It absolutely blows my mind that YouTube is still the dominant force on video sharing. I remember it becoming the standard basically overnight in 2004 or 2005 and after it’s peak it’s just been nothing but a glorified ad network that does everything in its power to limit its viewers scope to a few select channels that generate revenue. If people who choose YouTube as a job don’t want this to keep happening there needs to be a shift to a new platform

  • He is not getting demonetized and struck for pointing another YTber’s TOS breach. He is getting “hit” because he pointed out the complete negligence and laziness of YT regarding the issue, and he did all that using YT’s own video regarding harassment and descrmination and by pointing out that they have taken immediate action for other channels but not this one.

    So either YT is incredibly embaressed and tries to hide the fact they fucked up or our friend QTV has some really good connections.

    Edit: For those who mention the deleted tweet Act Man made. Under normal circumstances I would say “yeah fair enough”, but….
    You are basically telling me that YT went ahead and looked into Act Man’s Twitter, and decided to act based on a deleted Tweet, but they didn’t even bother to look into QTV…. *in their own platform*…?

    Yeah that makes sense -.-

  • As the owner of a monetized YouTube channel situations like this genuinely terrify me. YouTube is my main income source and to know it can be destroyed at the snap of a finger is awful. We really need a YouTube competitor.

  • And now they’re actively silencing anyone talking about the ActMan/Quandumb situation for pointing how shitty they are at their jobs that they don’t even do.

  • What’s even more gross is the guy called ActMan’s MOTHER !! On her PRIVATE PHONE !! To complain about her son making a video about him !! And YouTube is like “Great, more YouTube creators should be harassing other creators’ family members privately, especially when someone reveals what bad creators they are.”

  • Something is definitely rotten in YouTube. I always think of the case where an 11 year old girl was posting “sexy ASMR” videos. One was her in a skimpy cop costume saying very questionable sexually loaded things such as her Tinder date and SSS (shit shower shave).

    YouTuber PayWubbyMoney did a video about it, saying how inappropriate it was and it was his video that got tagged and demonetised. For what? For sexual content. The original video of the 11 year old girl is still up there, I believe.

    You cannot make this shit up.

  • I recorded a video walkthrough of Salesforce for a client of mine and handed them the video. They then uploaded it to YouTube to share to their employees. It was taken down by YouTube for violating the harassment and cyber bullying policy. Client appealed it, and the decision was upheld.

    Absolutely insane. This also just happened last week.

  • YouTube is so desperate not to lose its safe harbor protections, you can’t even contact human beings at google. They act like their company is run by an AI, and they’re just trying to understand what’s going on.

    YT is clearly abusing their powers. Hope they get sued for this.

  • It’s like the time TrainerTips got his entire channel removed because his videos used the term “CP” which for Pokemon Go means “Combat Power”
    But the YouTube bots went ham on it because CP can mean ChildPorn lucky after a weekend he was able to get his channel back because he convinced them that his videos (and all other Pogo creators) had to use CP and of course didn’t mean ChildPorn in the case of PoGo.

  • There is ZERO reason that Quantum TV should still be allowed on youtube. Between false copyright claims, telling people to kill themselves, harassing Act Man’s mother, and avoiding a prior ban on a new account, youtube has the mountain of evidence they need. Instead they’re protecting him and punishing those who speak up against the hypocrisy. Zero respect for Youtube right about now.

  • This whole thing is just ridiculous.

    Youtube replied to Act Man’s tweet about the demonetization, saying they cut him off because of his (now-deleted) tweets… which is something Youtube LITERALLY just said they wouldn’t do against Quantum like WTF??? Which is it Youtube… you will ban people for tweets (which is BS in my opinion anyways) or you won’t???

    Youtube is just a big sellout, political corporation at this point… Time and time again, they prove they intentionally do the opposite of what is right. They do the opposite what the consumers and creators want… Eventually it will hit a breaking point and the system will collapse in on itself…
