ONE MORE UPDATE about the channel drama from last week (Patreon)

TL;DR: the main channel seems to be ok and working as usual. False alarm. And also SINCERE apologies for causing panic.

Hi all! I realized I didn't really update you on everything. I uploaded to the second channel as some of you may have noticed as sort of a "test" to see if YouTube would flag me down. Nothing happened. So, I posted the new reddit video on the main channel - and again nothing happened. So far so good. I even demonetized it thinking YouTube wouldn't like the topic and YouTube turned monetization back ON lol.

So basically, I was freaking out for no reason and also caused a ton of panic for no reason. I'm VERY sorry for causing such chaos. Like sincerely. In the moment, I truly and sincerely thought it was going to be bad. If you look at YouTube's policies...it says if one of your channels is terminated...they're ALL terminated. So I was rightfully freaking out - but lesson learned maybe I should have waited a few days before posting about it publicly. I'll know for next time (which will hopefully be never).

On that note - here's what we believe happened and why my main channel did not get taken down (knock on wood) - we think because that channel had no public videos on it, and it was a completely demonetized channel, the AI bots just took it down automatically. To actually terminate a fully monetized channel, a real hum from YouTube would need to review it and take it down. So we think it was just a bot that sensed "harmful" content, but since my main channel is completely clean, no strikes, no flags, it wasn't affected.
