Guys, it appears that Youtube has just demonetized my entire channel. This may be the end.. Please tweet to @TeamYoutube & @Youtube asking them why they've done this, and to please reinstate the monetization to your favorite channel. Otherwise, this may very well be it. :(
Don't go begging to them. Do what many other successful Youtubers have done - diversify your resources. Get sponsors, sell more merch, even sign up with multiple crowdfunding platforms. Don't let yourself be dependent on YouTubes "goodwill".
