I.E. - Feeding the Homeless, a righteous cause that deserves your attention & help. For over a year now, your staff, algorithm, demonetizing, bots etc… have been making it very hard for creators to enjoy their craft. As you’re aware, a lot of these creators take this very

But lately, it’s been really hard for a few hundred’s if not, thousands of creators that are trying to hang on to hope, hope that your staff or someone will contact them back with information or have their concerns or questions answered. Hope that their channels or

and no matter how many times you contact the staff or appeal a decision, nothing helps, no one returns your emails and it feels like there’s no hope. Yes, a lot of people out there will say, “youtube owes you nothing”, but that does not take away the fact that

youtube has an obligation to the creators and to the viewers to run this platform properly, with proper communication for us all. It’s a platform that was made to do what we’ve all been using it for, to immerse and to create content. Yes, it’s a free platform,

They face deletion of their channels on a daily basis and it’s not right. There’s one creator, in particular, a man who devotes his daily life to raising ducks to feed the homeless in Ontario, Canada yearly, that faces a great deal of issues with your platform on daily basis.

He documents his life and every issue daily and records them live for all to view. He’s been dealing with your so-called “staff”, appeals, bots, notices of strikes, deletion of his videos and warnings of channel closer for months and yet, he’s

@50ducks This man has worked so hard to raise and breed ducks to feed the homeless since 2012.Show this thread -
He’s provided in the last few months at least 1,100 + duck eggs to a local food bank every two days, and he will continue to do so throughout the summer, all live on his channel. Last year he donated all of

He receives donations as much as he can from his fans on youtube and any other social media platforms to keep him going. Raising ducks is not cheap and it’s a great deal of an expense to keep this going. Youtube’s monetization was one of his means of income,

but that was stripped from him, with no real reason as to why? He has over 57,000 subs... Why wouldn’t advertisers want their commercials to be seen in front of his videos? Why wouldn’t they want to support a good cause? Feeding the homeless?

The strikes are uncalled for, these are animal videos that he documents, his animals. Receiving strikes for videos that have titles like “Duck penis or Duck Sex” should not be the reason for his channel to be deleted. If your platform has an issue with those titles,

then your staff needs to properly contact him and explain what he needs to change. For months now, not one word back from any of your staff regarding these issues or any returned emails answering his questions as to why?

Just basic to no explanations regarding the appeals, but no real fix to the issues at hand.
