hi then you guys deserve a good explanation you guys do deserve an explanation susan enhanced
cannabis content we could just start making videos with no plants at all would you guys like that
no more seed to harvest no more grow series we wanted to make a video let you guys know what's
going on if you guys didn't see or get the message or the post that we made channel members r-i-p
you're so sorry it's an outrage we are very very upset and disheartened by all of the decisions
um and answers that youtube have given us or lack thereof so we were removed from the youtube
partner program so that means um the basically the largest support or help to the channel the channel
members you guys almost 200 of you um immediately like gone all that support um without being in the
partner program you can't have the ability to have channel members or super chat or like a lot of the
fun things the emojis and the fun stuff and the perks and also you know the ability to share our
content with you guys who want to help support all the work because it is um a ton of work to
make the content and we've invested you know thousands of hours and thousands of dollars um
into making the content and there is a monthly cost that we have to like incur um for like
copyright free music and the video editing apps and the streaming platforms and you know various
other things so it's definitely a lot going into like making our content we want to keep always
making it better um and better for you guys and you know when they flip that switch just overnight
uh it really kind of screwed us up it was literally the day after we closed on the house
and we were so excited and we woke up the next day and with the email just saying that you guys are
kicked out and the reasoning for that was harmful uh and dangerous content i just wanted to go back
to that yeah it was pretty it was a hard thing to wake up to and um you know we really tried to
fight it back and forth with the emails i'm just trying to get some kind of explanation you know
what did we do wrong we had zero strikes um we had perfect self rating on uploads following the
guidelines for recreational use content it's not illegal in our state um we're selling anything
illegal or linking to um seed sites then we just didn't get any real clear answers to what we could
change about our content moving forward so this doesn't happen to us again and we haven't really
received any real clear answers yet yeah and i even we even managed to get a phone call with an
actual person from youtube um unfortunately that was completely useless and gave us absolutely no
information and they said that they can provide no information from the second level team that
actually did the removal are taking us from the youtube partner program um so just never any real
information or explanation why no explanation ever on how to protect ourselves in the future you know
any inkling as to what we did wrong or what any part of the content that was wrong other than all
we can glean is that it's just because we make cannabis related content yeah even though it's
legal and it's educational and it's entertainment you know we're not selling and restricted all
the content has always been restricted 18 plus following the guidelines and the self rating which
is perfectly fine for the youtube partner program like they have a recreational uh content for
self-rating that are perfectly fine for limited ads and that's what all of our stuff was and even
though they're limited we don't make anything off it you know that was never really the point we
know making this kind of content you're not gonna make anything off the views and we didn't we know
we didn't members was our main support and the 200 of you guys that were helping support our content
that was the real um thing that was helping us the most and they just flipped that off and they you
know we're not getting it back we weren't getting rich off of ads you guys it wasn't even like that
um the main thing was like neil said was the membership support and they completely pulled that
um out from underneath us and we also you know we want to say sorry to you guys that you were
supporting us so great um and we also now have some some options now that where
you can support us but it is again a little disheartening that this has even happened
definitely disheartening and damaging to the community um especially because we were really
following the guidelines and doing our best ever since we started the channel um and according to
them and in their rating systems in how the videos are rated and how we were rating them everything
was flawless like we were within within the scope on everything rated perfectly zero strikes perfect
self rating so it's still kind of baffling to us um and the only really answer we ever got
was just trying to reapply in 30 days um so but it's it's very disheartening just to not to know
how to proceed because even if we got it back what's to you know keep it from happening
yeah it is it's damaging because we were counting on some of that to help with the new house
and help build out the new grow room and the you know the content we want to make all the stuff in
the future so and we lost all those members and we'd have to rebuild that again so yeah so we we
will rebuild guys and we've decided um to move that support to patreon off youtube so that way
you know it's not gonna it's not gonna happen again even if we never get back into the partner
program doesn't really matter keep moving forward um personally i just think that this community is
so positive overwhelmingly positive sometimes and um and we're doing nothing but trying to educate
and it's just really frustrating as somebody that's trying to advocate for this beautiful plant
um and you know we don't get to make these choices and we don't get to you know so i feel like this
right here is an opportunity for us to look at this positively and and see what we can do
to continue to fight the good fight yeah for this plan yeah so i mean what does
that mean for the channel none of the content is really going to change we're going to keep
doing everything the way we've been doing it um we still have plenty of you know unrestricted
content plenty of content that is restricted with the plants and we don't plan on changing that we
have tons of ideas for new content yeah um and we're gonna just continue on guys so you know if
you wanna yeah if you wanna help support check out the link down below for the patreon we have a few
different tiers with different perks um and things like that to help support so we really appreciate
it if you guys love the content enjoy the videos go check out the patreon join up we appreciate
all of you it's a huge help and we you know we're going to continue investing the same
level of work and quality even more so after we move really soon guys less than three weeks
it's going down so we can't keep us down you can't can't stop the hygiene fam so we appreciate you
guys a bunch of already signed up uh over on the patreon but if you haven't there's a link in the
video description there's one on the homepage of the channel in the top right uh in the link
section um so check that out guys that's how we're going to be moving forward with it so
unfortunately you know no more fun uh emojis and kappa emojis and things like that although for
some reason we can still have them on the live chats but all the memories and people who have
the emojis before it don't so i mean there was fun perks and things that we could only do through the
youtube partner program um that we can't do now so you know those fun members posts and a way to
interact with you guys really directly and you know the icons for the members in the comments
and filtering by that like that really kind of great integration that's why we liked it so much
because it was easier to connect with you guys um and it was easier to share that content
directly with you so there's still going to be members videos and things like that they're just
going to be shared through patreon now um so if you guys want that behind the scenes extra content
pictures and fun stuff uh we'll still be doing that and we'll be coming up with new ideas and
new kinds of content to offer through the patreon for those you guys who want to support
um and again this is totally not our decision yeah so uh out of our hands so so thank you for
supporting even though you know yeah thank you guys and you definitely don't have to join the
patreon you know keep smashing the likes and dropping comments it's also a huge help

with like that's you know we're really down to only the affiliates now until the patreon can get
