Youtube update

Added 2022-08-14 04:41:31 +0000 UTC

Well, Youtube got back to me .. Sort of.
They sent me an update saying that the Lorne video that has been removed is indeed not a mistake, and it is not allowed on Youtube. But they also didn't provide a reason or answer any questions I had. I might still contact support but to be honest, at this rate, with all of the stories of the trouble other creators are having, I may leave it and move forward with another platform for any commentary videos that Youtube doesn't take.

It's slightly troubling news overall, as I don't know what is in that video that the other commentary videos don't have, which leads me to think that all of them could be removed at some point.

So I have created an account on the website called "Odysee". I'll re-upload the Lorne video there and eventually will migrate all rejected commentary videos over there. It'll be a back up little platform just in case Youtube decides to get really nasty.

As soon as I have the Lorne video uploaded there i'll post a new link for you all.
How fun hey, thanks for bringing my attention to this Odysee platform, everyone that suggested it. It looks awesome!
Long story short though, this really shouldn't affect much at all, it's just a different platform that will hold the commentary videos. Nothing you need to do extra on your end, i believe. I don't think you even need to create an account over there to watch.

I'll have a link for you shortly.
Take it easy.

EDIT PS - I'm going to fool around with this new platform over the next few days and if it looks good, I can unlist videos etc etc, I may even migrate my entire two channels over there as a backup account. I'll keep you all posted.
