So, whether you've noticed or not, a number of my videos have seemingly disappeared from my channel. I'm posting this to explain why.
For anyone who doesn't know, something called COPPA has been sweeping Youtube, which means that come 2020 all videos must be marked as "for kids" or "not for kids".
For me, this means that a lot of my content can be accidentally mislabelled (a video that has cartoon violence could be "for kids" since its a cartoon but also "not for kids" since there's violence). This does mean I've had to take an action that breaks my heart.
Any video in this grey area where I'm not sure how to categorise, I've had to remove from public viewing and instead make them unlisted.
So many of my favourite videos, videos that I am so proud of, that I love, that I put my heart and soul into and that genuinely hurt to remove are no longer viewable.
If a particular video that you love is no longer available, I can send you a link to view it, but it will be completely inaccessible and invisible without this link.
I'm so sorry its had to come to this,but I can't risk the $42,000 fine that comes with mislabelling a video.
