So I wake up this morning, all happy that I hit 400k subs, I then see that I have a DM from a Buzzfeed reporter, asking about my monetization, I found this strange, so I checked, and @TeamYouTube have demonetized everything on my channel, everything.

Videos outlined in red were already demonetized, which I was fine with, I am fine with my edgier stuff not being monetized, all the other videos though, were monetized after manual review, because everything I upload needs reviewed by default, which I was fine with.

There was no warning or anything for any of this, no email from Youtube, no explanation as to why, or anything, I've already lost over half of my patrons due to Patreon being censorious, and I now learn that I will no longer be making any income directly from my videos.

The ability to actually contact creator support was removed from my channel a while back, so I had to get a direct link from someone, this is the conversation, I'm not sure that Neil understood what I was asking, but at least he raised it to another team.

Youtube already has something on my channel where no matter what I upload, it needs to be reviewed before it can be monetized, I even tested this with a private video of Buddha and Bronson playing with a toy. It needed reviewed. It was irritating, but I soldiered on.

But even despite the fact that each of my videos were manually reviewed and deemed advertiser friendly, Youtube for some reason, have decided to go back on this and demonetize literally everything, while providing no warning or reason as to why it did so.

I realise a lot of people say to not do YouTube as a fulltime job, because they can pretty much fire you at any point, for any reason, sometimes no reason, but thanks to the courts and the media, I don't have a choice, I literally can't get a regular job.

Do I think anything will get done about this and that it will be fixed? No, I don't. I am probably just going to be ignored and only get automated responses or replies of "u broke da rules" with no explanation of specifically what I did wrong, meaning I don't know what to fix.

I think it is safe to assume that this will be permanent and Youtube are not going to fix it or provide a reason as to why they did this. So I'll just continue to make videos until YouTube inevitably terminates my channel.

Oh well now would you look at that, the very Buzzfeed reporter who DM'd me, put an article up a few hours ago talking about Tommys channel being demonetized where he falsely labels me as far right, and YouTube just demonetized my channel.

HMMMMMM

I'll wait for Youtubes response, if they reinstate my monetization and provide a reason as to why they did this then I will just continue, because I'm hoping this has just been a mistake.

If it turns out it's because Buzzfeed slandered me, well.......
