Well, this might be it. As I continue to struggle with my editing software (meaning little to no progress has been made on the movie), it's starting to dawn on me how much my, and so many others, personal information and privacy is at risk. I don't care if I am of age to view "mature content" or not, I am NOT giving any ID whatsoever. So here's what's going to happen. The movie's release on this platform is indefinitely postponed until further notice. It may be finished off YouTube someday, but it's release date remains in suspense. Any future music tracks will likely be uploaded to other sites from here on out, they'll likely release under the same name. Will I miss the fun? Certainly. But am I addicted enough to compromise my legal information and rights? Absolutely not. If literally ANYONE is seeing this, do not give away your identification to this AI algorithm that as of writing, is hours away from purging potentially millions of accounts. Go to other video watching sites if you really need it, otherwise, do NOT go to youtube. Boycott, any creator who did follow through with this big brother move will lose revenue. If greed and control are the sole driving factors of this company (and it shows), show that they have absolutely ZERO control over you. I'll say it again if you don't have the patience to read all this. Stay strong, boycott YouTube until they respect our privacy again. Until such a time this is fixed, this is (POTENTIALLY) a declaration of resignation. I do not quit editing, but I quit YouTube, and you should too. This will be my last post. Thank you for being there throughout the eventful first year and the relatively inactive second year of this channel, I wouldn't want it any other way until now. @ahmadforjesus if you're there (and if this link works) Godspeed man.
This could really be it. I'm saying it. I'm not cooperating with the AI, you cannot have my age or my verification. I'm onboard to boycott, to go on strike. YouTube, KISS MY ASS!!!!
