Hey everyone, I just want to explain what is going on with this channel. Unfortunately, as of 02/07/19, our channel has lost the ability to be monetized, due to 'Misleading Content'. This came as a real shock, as we honestly work so hard on the videos and never attempt to 'clickbait' viewers into watching them... As a youtube viewer myself, I know how frustrating these types of videos are!
Everything in our titles, thumbnails, descriptions, and tags all relate to the content, so this is confusing and frustrating, to say the least. We are trying to fight this decision and argue our case, but so far YouTube has been pretty unhelpful in their replies. I thought it was best to make this statement, as we want to be transparent with all of you. The reason we took a 6-month break from uploading last year was that we were dealing with issues such as false copyright claims, fake trademark complaints, the advertiser-friendly situation, on a daily basis, and YouTube as a platform became too stressful.
I was hoping this year would be different and it was our intention to upload fortnightly videos, but this has now really messed up our plans. This channel wasn't started for the money, and it's still not about the money, but as the production values have increased over time, so has the cost of the videos.
I'm sorry about this, as I know many of you really enjoy our content, but unfortunately, this is what YouTube has become in 2019. Hopefully, we'll be back soon, but I just want to take this time to personally thank everyone who has subscribed and supported this channel, 617,000 subscribers is a real achievement! :)
Cheers.
