My channel has been un-verified for not being "widely recognised outside of YouTube". Anyway, my book, the largest crowdfunded book in uk history, released today! We celebrated during day 5 of a countrywide book tour! Birmingham was a delight and we signed solidly for 4 hours!
Sorry for having to deal with this shitstorm, whoever's managing that account. Hope you don't get fired, you're doing a good job, YouTube's decision is simply too transparently driven by ulterior motives, and YouTube have long since and for many reasons lost their credibility.
