BAD NEWS: Looks like my days on this platform are numbered. 3 streams and 1 old video got taken down for "Harassment and Cyberbullying" and "Hate Speech". Luckily, this is just a "Warning", so I can still upload videos and streams, but this is still extremely bad for obvious reasons. Somehow I've gotten away with breaking TOS in streams for 3 years, and now youtube has finally taken notice. My channel could be wiped off the platform at any time.
At first, I thought the SH2 Remake finale stream was taken down for my comments regarding Hit Detection's beloved baby boy, but according to the email in the second image, at some point I committed "unwanted sexualization of an identifiable individual". No, youtube did not specify who or when it happened. Some have theorized that youtube is testing AI moderation (like Activision does with voice chat in COD) because the only "unwanted sexualization" I remember committing was against a fictional character (Angela).
The other 3 takedowns seem completely random, which worries me. If it is AI moderation, that means certain phrases could get your channel banned even with context. If you're wondering why I don't challenge these strikes, the simple reason is that it means a real person will look at my channel, and see the numerous TOS violations I've committed over the years, only ensuring my channel will be deleted.
Many of you already know this, but I've deleted the stream playlist and privated all of the old streams. I don't think I need to explain why. No, I will not be reversing this decision.
If this is the last community post I ever make, just know that I regret nothing and will never apologize because I've done nothing wrong. The sheer amount seething I've caused by simply dunking on overrated games and pointing out obvious political propaganda is pathetic.
I had a good run, but reviewing garbage AAA games for 4 years has gotten tiresome. If this channel gets deleted, I'm done reviewing modern video games. Hopefully, someone steps up to the plate because the video game industry severely needs more real critics and fewer shills. Before anyone asks, no I will not be moving to Rumble or Odyssey. If this channel dies, The "Synthetic Man" dies with it.
