Early this morning my one-week suspension from YouTube was lifted. Yes, friends, I have been paroled from YouTube Jail. My crime? “Cyberbullying.” The victims? Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. That’s right—I am now officially recognized as the cyberbully of two nuclear-armed world leaders. Put that on my flippin’ résumé. The offending upload was my last video, Trump & Putin’s Big Alaska Adventure. It was just starting to go viral after 40 hours online when YouTube dropped the hammer. I scrambled, re-edited, and reposted a “Re-do”—but in my haste, I botched the sound sync. Yanked it mid-premiere, fixed it, and re-uploaded. That’s when YouTube sent me a notification saying the new version was also pulled (spoiler: it wasn’t). I guess YT got confused, but regardless, I got slapped with a 7-day suspension. Now, my longtime viewers know that cartoonish demises and goofy unrealistic slapstick violence are kind of my bread and butter. So why now, all of a sudden, am I Public Enemy #1? My best guess: I’ve been put on a watchlist. A band of professional right wingnut tattletales lurk in the shadows, mass-reporting my videos the moment I post them. This usually happens right when the channel starts to grow—views up, subs up, haters mobilize. So yeah, not my first rodeo. But this one stings: first strike = 1 week suspension, second strike = 2 weeks, third strike = lights out for Scared Ketchup on YouTube. Which brings me to my big comeback clip: 'Gavin Newsom is Dark Woke' drops TODAY (Tuesday) at 2:30 PM PST. It’s a mash-up of the best “Newsom dunks on Trump” memes brought to life (so to speak), plus a bunch of my original chicanery, all animated and set to a track I whipped up with the sweet flavor of vintage Beck meets Beastie Boys meets Offspring meets Hamilton by way of Eminem. I even added a cheeky disclaimer to try and outsmart the ban hammer—but hey, if I disappear for another two weeks, you’ll know why. Either way, I’ll still be posting on Patreon (free or paid—your call): www.patreon.com/c/ScaredKetchup - Hope to see you at the premiere. Cheers, Ketch
