Bit of an update on the channel:
Strike is still in effect, video was not reinstated yet, and no further word from @TeamYouTube.
The wait time seems to take longer and longer before anything happens. Still have no idea why this happened or why JUST ARK videos.
So far it's fine. Problem is that I gotta wait for the strike to clear before I can stream on YouTube again. IF it clears. Twitch is my only option right now.
