Hello everyone, hope you're doing well today!Unfortunately I'm here to share with you some quite upsetting news.What's happening:Over the last couple of days I've been seeing Twitter posts from YT creators losing their channels overnight, for no clear violation, no warning, and no way to appeal the decision. The reason is pretty clear - YT's AI detection system that has been banning AI Slop channels, which in and of itself is a good thing, but because this system is not perfect, hundreds of authentic channels with real people have been incorrectly flagged and terminated as well.Due to the nature of reaction content, I'm very scared that the same may happen to my channel as well. That one day I might wake up and see 7 years of my work deleted off YT like it never existed. And as most of you know, running YT and Patreon is my main job, and so my livelyhood and the livelyhood of my friend who works with me as my editor greatly depend on it. And like I said, unlike with copyright strikes, where you first get a warning, and then you need to get 3 strikes to have your channel terminated, from what I've been reading on Twitter, there's no warning whatsoever. Bam, and the channel's gone. What you can do today:If you care about what I do and wish to stay connected, make sure you subscribe to my Patreon for free, even if you don't plan to subscribe to any of the paid tiers (if you're already subscribed to any tier, including the free one then you're fine). Since I don't have my own website, this Patreon page will always be my main hub, my home base, my main platfrom where, if anything were to happen to my YT channel, I will be posting my regular reactions that would usually go to YT, share updates on the situation and potentially ask for your help.Also, please follow my Twitter (X) account at aaron_freemanYT. It's blank, I just created it, but history shows that YT support is a bit more active on Twitter, so if I have at least a little following there, there's a chance they might notice me.And lastly, potentially inform your favorite reaction creators of the possibility of termination so they can also take all the necessary steps.I genuinely want to stay positive and hope that everything's going to be ok and that I'm blowing this out of proportion, but with the real cases of unjust terminations I can't just stay silent. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so so much for all your continued support through the years! Let's stay connected no matter what happens to my YT!Thank you for taking your time to read this and have a great time of day wherever you are!

What about paid patreon users?

Everything is ok, as long as you're here one way or another, you'll see the news if anything happens to my channel

Wow that’s so upsetting. I mean good for yt to take that step, but they should at least warn people before deleting the channel for good.. I really hope you’re not going to be affected by this! And in the worst case scenario we’re still here to support you on Patreon!!

Iris

I followed you there since you might need more following for twitter to notice you. it's good you're preparing just in case but I hope you don't lose your channel it feels very precious especially doing it for 7 years. wishing you the best aaron!!

I think your content should be fine, especially since your videos contain a lot of original commentary in the second half. But be careful with Shorts, and avoid keyword stuffing on the backend. I hope nothing happens to your channel, but it’s smart to be prepared. All the best to you and your channel!

I hope the worst doesn't come to pass. But it's probably good to be prepared just in case. I've followed you on Twitter as well. I'll always be cheering you on!

I really hope it doesn't come to that. You've put so much work into this over the past 7 years, so it would be really heartbreaking to see all of that go away. For some of us, we've been on this journey with you from the very beginning. I still remember when you posted one of your first BTS reactions, it was around the same time I got into BTS, so watching your channel grow alongside my own journey with them has been really special. It would honestly be so sad if all the memories we've made as a community along the way were lost. Let's hope everything works out and that we can keep enjoying this journey together for many more years to come.

Hi will you be posting all your old YouTube reactions onto your patreon in case it gets taken down? as I always rewatch them especially IU reactions.😊

aaronfreeman

Yeah I'll most likely post them somewhere, I have all videos saved on hard drives, so even if YT gets deleted they won't be lost

HALIMA EXO-L for life ❤️ baekhyun bias
