*Fartnoise*
"What the fu-"
(Annoyed Alex) Yeah, I know I can see you rolling your eyes, I'm right there with you.
*IHE Opening Title Song*
First, let me just apologize for the, uh, lack of quality on the audio.
I haven't managed to set up any soundproofing, yet, in my new place, so that's why it's so bad.
Pretty sick of talking about YouTube at this point.
It's basically a boring meme about how unlucky I seem to be with this kind thing.
But I do feel like I kinda need to update you on something that's been happening to my channel as of late.
Let me do the best to try and make this as short and educational as possible.
Mostly for the sake of just documenting my bad prosperity with this website.
dunno what I must've done in a past life to earn such bad karma
But apparently I am suspended from YouTube.
"Well how on earth did you upload this video then?"
Well Mr. Smarty Pants, while you query into your computer monitors
and or phone screens
and or laptop screens
and or tablet screens...
*Sigh*
You get the picture.
So basically I had to awkwardly turn one of my alternate email addresses into a manager of the IHE (I Hate Everything) YouTube channel.
Using Google+
(Sarcasm) You know. That website.... A lot of people use.
This is a feature that is available, apparently, I had no idea about this.
We all knew that combining Google+ and YouTube was probably the worst possible decision that ever could have been made.
By anyone
Under any circumstance
But its kind of weirdly saved me, in this instance.
Because of the neolithic and antiquated way accounts work on your Google account
I originally had no idea what to do to get back into my unjustly suspended account.
Because whenever I try to log in with my correct details, I'd simply get this page that says i'm unable to access the google product
Because i'm suspended, for disobeying the Terms of Service.
So, what exactly did I do? How did I defy the YouTube guidelines?
Well, just like when my channel was taken down for no reason. This appeared to be a similar affair.
No warning
No message.
No email
Complete.... Radio silence.
So what to do? It says at the bottom of the page that; "if you believe your access was suspended in error, Contact us." that's what I figure I'd try.
I mean I have been a pretty good boy lately.
I pay my taxes
I pick up my dog's poop when I take him for a walk *Dogbark sound effect*
And mostly importantly, I do obey the Terms of Service the best I can.
Surely, this must be an error. So off went my appeal.
Two Days Later
*Alex reading email in a slightly more opptomistic tone* "Hello, Thank you for you account suspension appeal"
We have decided to keep your account suspended, based on our community guidelines and Terms of Service.
Wait, What?
So I guess I can never access my million plus subs account ever again.
Cant believe this, how can they do this to me? Heh, well. We can't be having this, can we?
So what to do? Well, I decided to do the only reasonable thing a person could do in such a time of distress and need.
Complain about it on Twitter.
*Disapproving Fartnoise*
Within a few hours of tweeting about my problems like the useless, keyboard activist I am
DJ Killer Meme Man hit me up and said he knew how to fix this bizarre issue.
*Alex in a painfully sarcastic voice* "Well gosh blimey am I excited to talk to you, Mr Keemstars" I exclaim to him in pure glee.
Dj Killer simply responded with, "Don't worry, the best youtuber on youtube, we're gonna sort you out"
He proceeded to add me to a group chat on Twitter with this man
This man, right here he is the reason I was able to get back into my account.
You may thank him personally by tweeting at him, "You are a gentlemen, and probably do not smell of Camembert cheese. Even after an intense run
Yum, soft and creamy
So Mr. I Play Prodigy took me through the steps to get access into my channel.
Because I was only suspended from Youtube and was still able to access my Google+ and email through IHE
I was able to go onto this page where I was able to go into my brand account.
Manage permissions to the IHE channel
add my alt email address, then sign in on my alt account and access the channel
through the totally not confusing, stupid nonsensical, unexplained, foolish, totally obvious way.
So the only feature I was unable to access by going through the manager channel is the feature that lets you delete your channel.
I guess I have no choice but to be around forever now.
I tried using my normal IHE login details everyday since being suspended to see if they'll let me in, and for three days I have had absolutely no luck.
Until suddenly Team YouTube replied to my Tweet saying, "Sorry for the confusion and no need to worry! We'eve reached out over email with more detailed info. Thanks!"
So what did this email say?
"Hi there. After a review of your account, we have confirmed that your YouTube account is not in violation of our Terms of Service. As such, we have suspended your account. This means your account is once again active and operational
Right...ok... So what actually happend?
Was this a bug? A mistake?
*Echo* "Hello?"
What is going on?
Oh, forget it.
I cant imagine this on being an issue that's effected me
Unless I really am that unlucky.
But I assume that if it can happen to me, it can happen to any of us on this website.
So at least now we have a reference point we can send other people with a temporary solution to this seemingly bizarre bug.
Like, if you don't have a million subscribers i'm not sure if you'd ever be able to get the attention required to have this fixed.
So hopefully this video can help you.
Will I ever get some kind of explanation, who knows?
Do I even care? Not really.
I'm sort of used to it by now.
Whatever. Time to go back to making videos I actually want to make.
*Music fades in and continues to play until video is over*
*Video ends*
