My First Copyright Strike (Patreon)

Today I recieved my first ever copyright strike after almost 3 years on YouTube. The video was a live stage performance of Lovelyz. Kind of ironic because yesterday I uploaded my first video to my second channel that I created on 1st of January.

In order to protect my main channel I will gradually remove all my live stage reactions from it, unlisted or not. But I need to upload them in other places like Dailymotion, Google Drive or Vimeo.

I am currently considering starting up a plan with Vimeo where I would be able to upload 5GB a week with a maximum of 250GB a year, but what I have gathered from my googling is that they can do copyright strikes as well, which would defeat the whole purpose. And it would leave me ~$90 poorer for no reason. But with Vimeo I would be able to change the video link in all the posts without deleting the actual post.

I have gotten videos blocked on Dailymotion as well, but not recently and at least that is free, but not able to be embedded in my posts, which means I would have to delete all my video posts with all your comments and make new image posts for every single one, which is what pains me the most - the fact that your comments would get removed. But I guess I'll have to get over that.

The reason I'm telling you all is because I'd like to know what you think I should do in this situation, if you have any advice or tips and what you think is the best option. Maybe there's something I haven't thought of. I do these videos with you - my patrons & viewers, in mind.

So, once again - please let me know what you think in the comments of this post.
Love you all 💙
