BREAKING

DSP's primary YouTube channel "DSPgaming" appears to have disappeared.

TLDR update:

• YouTube account got "disabled" because Google Plus account was suspended for spam.
• Every time DSP was uploading a video (normally ~40 per day) it was sharing them on his Google Plus account (which is like Twitter for Google)
• DSP spent a bunch of time whining about it
• Finally got his account back after about half a day after it was disabled
• Had to unprivate all all of his videos or manually sort through all 50,000 uploads one by one
• Unprivated his masturbation stream, someone flagged him and he received a community strike on dspgaming.
• Unprivated most of his private Q+A videos which people have now saved (these are videos that Patreon supporters who pledge $50 or more get each month)
• During his "emergency" stream and prior to getting his channel back he probably made around $1000 in donations/bits/cheers/subs

YouTube returns the error "This channel does not exist."

DSPgaming probably accounts for around 30-50% of DSP's income so this is a significant development. DSP was suspended at some stage from Google Adsense for asking viewers to click advertisements (which is against the Google Terms of Service) and it has been a mystery how he got reenabled on the service.

It is important to note that "DSPGaming" is a "verified" YouTube account, meaning it gets a tick next to it:

DSP's "THEKINGOFHATEVLOGS" channel where he uploads non-gameplay content still links to the channel via the "Featured Channels":

His other channel "darksydephil" still works:

[facepalm]

Well that's going to hurt the finances.

I'm not familiar with YouTube's procedures so is this a ban or a deletion by Phil?

 

[BIgBadWolf]

That's gonna be a pretty big pill to swallow when he wakes up.
@facepalm Could be because he was flagged or something.

Holy fuck a storm is brewing all of a sudden.

inb4 youtube was just being shit

 

[BIgBadWolf]

KOGaming is still up so he'll probably upload there instead if he can't get his channel back.

This is possibly just an intermittent YouTube error:

I hope he wears his black begging shirt again this time around

I'd like to think it's connected to the DSP / LTG matchup.

The two platforms realized the combined faggotry of those two would be too much for one platform to handle, so Twitch suspends LTG and YouTube gets rid of DSP.

Don't play with our feelings, YouTube!

 

[thismanlies]

As long as the TIHYDP videos are still up, it's no big loss.

The thumbnails of all his videos successfully load from YouTube
The thumbnail from his avatar successfully loads

But individual videos get 404 error/This video is unavailable:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pesLAoERDHc

So this is almost certainly just a technical issue.

Good thing he's got all his hard drives. Checkmate atheists!

 

[GnomeofDoc]

Put down the happening flags. False alarm.

 

[neger psykolog]

Put down the happening flags. False alarm.

Yeah I'm sure YouTube who are known for responding to technical issues promptly will resolve this as soon as possible.

Even if this is a false alarm it could still take hours/days/weeks to sort out.

I hope his channel stays down so he has to consider maybe making his streams more watchable and putting in effort for the first time in his life to make his Twitch grow.

Hoh boy. Knowing YT, this is probably some sort of test for their dankest update that nobody asked for.

 

[Freshtodeath]

I don't think Youtube just deletes whole channels do they? lmao. DSP will shit his pants when he wakes up. Maybe he uploaded too much khantent and google's cloud server exploded.

The best we're going to get out of this is the channel going back up within 12 hour and DSP using it as a new excuse™ for the next twenty years
