Cardinal West

Quick update on why some of my older videos aren’t available now:


This last week or so, I’ve been getting a number of claims and restrictions on older videos—it started out on videos I’d already privated, so I didn’t think much of it, but then a few live ones got hit with claims or blocks, as well as one age restriction and one outright strike.


It’s coming from different companies/rights holders, so I don’t know if one bot for some random company stumbling across my videos led to others tagging stuff (no one knows how this system works, to be perfectly honest). Usually, you can appeal successfully if you fight them long enough, but we’ll see.


Thankfully, the longer I’ve been making videos, the more I’ve learned about avoiding Content ID and restrictions and so on, so it seems like it was only my older stuff that was at risk. Still frustrating, but to be safe I’ve privated the videos that were getting hit until I can sort this out, since I really don’t want to risk this channel accumulating restrictions or strikes or anything (another area where I’m not entirely sure how the system even works). Sorry for the inconvenience.

@PrettyMuchMiles

This is so upsetting considering I was rewatching Zuko's Story on repeat as it was therapeutic to listen to and obviously keep my mind busy at work ;(

Mann that sucks. I always put on Zuko's Story in the background, since it's so therapeutic and always gives me new insights. Hope it gets resolved soon!

Any chance you can archive the lost stuff somewhere other than youtube?

That's a pity. Your Farthing Wood analysis was a regular watch of mine before the Content I.D. autobots decided to do their thing. I hope things begin to look up for you soon.

Bought your book and enjoying is so far 💕 My advice would be to archive your videos and have them available to your patrons. It’s a shame because I had such a fond time watch your Farthing Wood video

Damn. That's unfortunate. I was actually looking for your Farthing Wood review today. I was wondering why I couldn't find it. Hopefully the copyright problems will be sorted soon

No way those were some of my favorite video essays, any way you can upload them so they don’t get taken down?
