The video was taken down by Youtube and a strike was issued on the channel. The strike from a while back had expired, so it counts as a first strike again. I can't upload anything over there for a week. I'm incredibly frustrated but figuring out what to do next as best I can in the meantime. I'm appealing it, but I highly doubt anything will come of that, to be perfectly honest.

I need some time to regroup on this to figure out next steps, thank you guys for your patience in the meantime. I'll keep you all posted.

Dragongirl925

Youtube these days istg they give out strikes like its candy

Ponyboy

Youtube really has no clue what it's doing these days. The video was completely fine and I've heard much worse in the asmr community and they're left up with no issues. This is so frustrating and I'm so sorry it continues to happen 😞 with you all the way man 🙏

Lea with no H

There was literally nothing sexual about that video. This is next level ridiculous

Char

Again? WTH Youtube???!!!

TaraD

Ugh! Omg! I swear, I wish YouTube would just leave you alone. Wtf cause was there for the strike?! Ridiculous. So sorry you’re dealing with this. ❤️

Anthea the Tiefling

I am sorry that this happened again, and am angry as well! There was NOTHING offensive in that audio!

Litlkim

How tf does the explicit stuff stay up after getting mass reported and YouTube has issues with THIS?!!!

Nightshade1217

Why does YouTube keep doing this to you guys in the asmrrp community it totally sucks I'm sorry I hope things get sorted

ReplayCamera2 Chloe

If YouTube could stop being a bitch, that would be great…

Lauren

Okay, WHAT in that video was explicit?! I’m so freaking sorry this happened to you again. YouTube needs to pull their head out of their ass. 😑

riathepinkie

Yeah holy shit take the time you need YouTube and I are beefing now

Emma clark

I'm so sorry this keeps happening, nothing about the Guy video should have been flagged this is insane.

mixter.roboto

They just know you’re born to be a star voice actor 💅 (in all seriousness that’s so bullshit, take your time, and I hope this gets appealed!)

BeeSeb

That sucks, I’m sorry they issued a strike for something that innocuous. And even if history suggests otherwise, I hope the appeal is successful 🤞 Either way, take your time and don’t let YouTube’s bad attitude ruin your weekend!

Hayden Williams

ah for feck sake whyyyyy is youtube a bitch

Dewi Sri

These strikes are starting to feel so targeted... like some individuals are actively reporting your vids as they go live.

RainyDay

youtube can eat my asssssss god

riathepinkie

at this point I'm starting to wonder what the point of uploading to YouTube is at all. If their (almost assuredly AI run) automods are going to be that overzealous about bed creaking sounds and kissing

werewolf1343

There was nothing in the video that was bad, that's so stupid 😭

✨Starlight Angel Baaabe🩷

Fuck YouTube! I can't believe they are still doing this to you 😔 Do what you have to do for yourself and I'm just happy that you chose to continue and go through all this bureaucratic bullshit yo bring this world to us. Take your time. I'm here for the long haul 💖💖💖

0trixiepixie0

This is so stupid u don't deserve this at all man, at this point. I'd go through the terms of service. If you find nothing that ties to the content getting reported and taken down, as well as all the other videos on YouTube that do worse and stay up. You can bring it to officials and sort of a way sue. Not sue idk but start somethin. Cus this is a form of income right? They're taking that away with these false reports. That's a legal issue <33 is an idea

Multiduel

That’s ridiculous what the hell was wrong with it? Bloody YouTube, it’s time someone made a new platform

Saeran Gosling

There is actual gore and porn on that site but noooo you are the problem. I'm so sorry Erik I hope this gets sorted properly 🫂

Hannah Freckles

YouTube at it again, being fucking stupid. There are literal graphic and horrific videos on their site yet they strike videos with nothing wrong in them. I’m so so sorry this is happening again Erik!

Ren

heh?????? tf????

EntangledSawyer

YouTube seriously has some fucking vendetta against you cause WTF was wrong with THIS one?? I seriously hope they accept the appeal but i seriously doubt it given the history with them . I’m so sorry that this keeps happening to you and it’s completely unfair

Allegory of Wolves

What the heck? What for did they do this again? That video was totally harmless! Is it really the few little kissing noises that triggered this again? How can that be an issue? There's so much more explicit stuff on YT, showing full-on nudity (and not in an innocent way), and those videos stay up... This isn't right!! I'm so sorry for you, Erik! We're frustrated right along with you. Is there any better way to contact YT other than just an appeal form which (maybe) doesn't even get read by humans? There has to be a way to actively go against these unfair strikes.

Jasmine💚

I think they just don’t like you why do they keep giving you strikes on the lest explicit videos ever

pinkSPARKL

Wtf?? That was such a fluffy feels audio, why is youtube being such a butthead?! And the "evil nsfw smooches" were all the way at the end, so What Is Their Problem??? I'm so sorry this is happening to you again 🫂 especially at the beginning of the Fooliverse return

Lunna TS

GREAT YouTube is being a jackass to creators again... I've heard of some appeals that DO get overturned though, not sure how, but it DOES happen, so let's hope that's the case... Sorry this is happening, Erik, sending you all the good vibes. 🫂

Austin Miles

At this point i feel like Erik should put all the audios and videos up on the redacted records website, if only to preserve all the work he's done and have them in a place where youtube has no control. The fucking pricks.

Gen

This makes me think Youtube just looks for things to nitpick successful creators over in order to poach little bits of their income. It's never anything huge, just death by a million paper cuts. I'm sorry, dude. I hope they pull their heads out of their collective derrières and stop.

Allegory of Wolves

I don't know if this helps at all, but I've heard that some content creators have had luck getting their appeals looked at by an actual human when they contacted YT on Twitter. Apparently, they don't have just bots over there. Could that be worth a try (if you haven't already)?

CarrotSam

I am so sorry Erik. I heard Rumble is pretty good with posting stuff. Maybe give that site a try. It's like youtube but better.

rachel ♡

man i am so sorry youtube is just the absolute worst

rachel ♡

i really don't know what your recourse is if they're going to strike videos that are perfectly in alignment with the guidelines. uploading previews and linking the full videos all to patreon?? that just seems so obnoxious to have to do

CodeAjax

I’m so sorry this happened again, but it’s so stupid. The video was completely in tune with policy and there was no reason for it to be taken down. I don’t know what YouTube is doing but I feel like their automated flagging system is getting outta hand.

GravesVerse

first milo, now guy taken down for an extremely tame audio?? when there’s so much worse stuff on youtube?? so sorry you’re dealing with this again erik ❤️‍🩹

$tella

Wtf this makes no sense

theSpooder

Again!?! This started with Fooliverse last time!! TF? If I remember correctly, the channel gets Demonitized right after you posted the Fooliverse James video, then a simple Milo-Sleep aid gets taken down, now this!?! Why does YT keep waking up and choosing war with smaller content creators!?! 😡😠😤

ale.aleeeeksandro

youtube try not to be insufferable challenge impossible

Randomenby

But this video isn't even anything nsfw!! It barely has swearing, YouTube is tripping

fishy

At this point I’d seriously consider taking this to court or something because there is absolutely 0 reason for this to be happening as much as it is. They either need to crack down this hard on other youtubers too or they need to relax. It’s just ridiculous the blatant bullying.

Sapphire mermaid

YouTube is being stupid that vid was so tame nothing inappropriate at all!

bunny

youtube omg 😭

lucy

literally HOW did THIS VIDEO get a strike that’s insane

kousenjuu

man... yt really be goin after all my faves for NO flippin reason 🤦 sorry erik... we'll always be here for ya, but it's a shame that yt is pretty much chasing off everything that's not a gd bot

rachel ♡

i know this doesn't help much but just know there's a little gremlin in a flooded city right now (me) keeping herself sane listening to your audios as a distraction. you are valued!

Cheezy Comma Grilled

I've listened to this about 50 times already between EA, YT and this Reupload

HuggableGremlin

I can finally become a member of a patreon, and of course I chose this one <3 I've been listening to the youtube versions for a couple of years, so I have a bit to catch up on :3 And I'm excited to be here for this years fooliverse. I'm so sorry about yt Erik, I'm glad I could become a member this month <3

Litlkim

You have a LOT of Bonus audios to go through lol Happy listening!!!

HuggableGremlin

I've been listening to waaaay to much... bonus audios today O.o

Litlkim

😂 that’s awesome

HuggableGremlin

For some reason the audios, heartbreaker level is still locked for me? It it supposed to be?

tanheika

I wonder why it was removed from YT/ It's literally the same video as the main universe's Guy's confession, just tweaked to fit this Guy's personality.

CarrotSam

cause recently YT uses AI to check vids. back when the OG Guy's confession came out there wasn't any and TOS was different as well. YT is stupid with what they do and do not allow.

tanheika

That makes sense now.

Bonnie

Oh my god I don't know what it is about him but I love him so much

Gorgon C

is he high????? /pos

CuriosityPJ

Having listened to both, the Fooliverse Guy says “Fuck me” (instead of the canon’s “Fuck”) after the kiss. While meant as an exclamation, YT bots would have seen it as an explicit command.

highkeymika

going through the back log after rejoining the patreon and why am i hyperfixating on this one AU video ... he is special to me 😌

highkeymika

me when i return to this REGULARLY .... someone take this app away from me

Mélodie 798

YouTube even removed the last Milo sleep aid audio. Like... wtf?

Mélodie 798

Maybe YouTube is jealous 🤔

😌

sorry yt is such a pain in the ass <3
