Unfortunately, I’m not sure at this time when I’ll be able to post this on YouTube. It was SUPPOSED to go up this week, but YouTube’s auto-copyright content ID system is acting in ways I’ve never seen before.

The video got 66 individual copyright claims, one for every episode of the series, and for whatever reason just ISN’T giving me the option for a 7-day appeal. My only option is a 30-day dispute, otherwise it can’t be monetized. (I have to explain “No, I’m not just uploading the episodes unedited. There’s 3 hours of my audio on the timeline, which is actually not in the episodes on Disney+.”)

Right now I’m not in a position where I can afford to let 2 full months of work generate no income. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to integrate a sponsor either, which would require me at least couple weeks to get something lined up and another 30 days beyond that with a reupload.

Best case scenario, you’ll get the Pair of Kings video on YouTube like June 5th. Worst case scenario, sometime in July. Sorry, I really wish I could’ve uploaded it this week. For now, it’s on Patreon for any price.

Having your income and livelihood determined by a dystopian content algorithm is super cool!! (In all seriousness, I'm still grateful to be doing YouTube full time and I really appreciate the support that allows me to do this).

I’m locked into an ad deadline so I will finally return to YouTube this week nonetheless.
