so here's how here's how the YouTube channel thing went down um so and thank
you guys for letting us know cuz a lot I saw a lot of comments from you guys
coming about hey your channel got taken down or suspended or suddenly taken down
we did the podcast last week it was aces like it always is called were fucking
town and nailed it nailed it just right out of the park and out of ten podcast
again so we have they were leaving and I went to do whatever I was gonna do and
you went to do it you go make the thumbnails
yeah and I'll make those by hand then I look at my phone and I got a text from I
think Zach info Zach and is like hey did you see that the channel got taken down
I was like what cuz that's never happened to me on any channel yeah rap
battles or epiclloyd or saying nothing and I thought it was a joke
first because the day before was that big YouTube glitch like the whole
YouTube website went down for like four hours the day before which was a little
bit mysterious and I was like wow it'll probably just come back and like an hour
stuff we were shut down for what three days it was closer to two to I'm we're
between a day and a half in two days felt like an eternity felt like a long
time yeah I go home we do the podcast I go home cuz I gotta you know make the
thumbnails so that I can you know get everything sort of organized and all the
metadata and all that nerdy stuff and I'm making this thumbnail and i refresh
the page to check something out and it's like it's I actually have I have a copy
of it did you I took a picture of mom oh did you yeah
yeah like we get this message and it says we would like to inform you that
due to repeated or severe violations of our Community Guidelines your YouTube
account kings of influence has been suspended spended we didn't even get a
warning not no no warning shot and I so it was they said it was due to spam or
scam that was what got me I was like cuz I thought for a second it was like man
it's like you you're not allowed to be like too good-looking on YouTube so I
thought that's what I above my go to as well yeah usually shut us down but it
was for him or scam I was like well that's that but seriously I thought
maybe it was language or maybe it was content because sometimes you talk about
some pretty racy stuff yeah but usually I get a warning for that at least a
warning and we what one email and it was dated an hour
before they shut it down that was like we're shutting you down yeah yeah that
wasn't a warning that was like hey we're cutting you down we're shutting you down
who this you're done no strikes no nothing no flag
yeah no anything no just done so we then we scramble then we scrambled all the
fighters I called Lloyd a hundred times well I um I just felt like a little bit
powerless for a second because it's what do you do like we're like big time
youtubers right and so we have people to call but I immediately put myself in the
shoes of someone who didn't have anybody to call at YouTube because because you
contested it right you can test hi I formally contest there's like a button
on the back end that's like do you want to contest this like hell yeah I want to
contest it yeah and so I can test it knowing that that's probably not gonna
get anywhere because it's a bullshit system so I can test it in a few hours
later it's like we have reviewed your contest your appeal and sorry but you're
gonna keep your channel down and it's like what the hell was it even down for
right why why did it look why do you why do you take our channel down and then
you give us these broad sweeping explanations of why you took it down but
but there's no specifics we don't know what we did I don't know what rules we
broke I've been doing I've been wrong I've been on this site for 11 years yeah
never had a channel taken down anything like that never had any real issue with
anything and then one day out of nowhere our podcast gets taken to podcast our
baby podcast let's show a nips no we're not God
forbid showing ladies this is not Nazi propaganda it was like it was crazy
because manure like my whole life revolves around one website like if I
was a plumber or a carpenter or something and someone stole my hammer
like I'm gonna go get another hammer and there's gonna be toilets that get backed
up but like this website is our thing man so then to be like wrongly
classified and to be spam and then to have it the the appeal rejected by
supposedly a real human being yeah because it supposedly which is totally
unrealistic because the amount of like the amount in coming they were yeah I
doubt a real human saw that well lucky luckily I don't
only rely on this one website no I take matters in their own hands I have a huge
massive a massive presence on Facebook doing incredibly well there yeah cuz
here's the thing about being an influencer so if you work at a bank if
you work at Bank of America or something and let's say you work there ten years
yeah and then one day you get laid off I need a job so then you go over to Wells
Fargo and you apply and you go well look I got 10 years of experience over at
working in checking and Bank of America and this was my ending salary and I'd
kind of like to start here with a salary close to that yeah and then they hire
you're they don't when you're an influencer you can't like like if you if
YouTube gets shut down you can't just go over to Facebook and be like hey look so
I had a 3 million subscribers over on YouTube if you guys could hand me I
don't know maybe 2 million followers or so and you know I was making a pretty
good living over there so if you guys can almost match that and you can work
our way up I think that would be good right it doesn't happen you put it work
when you go to when you switch over to a new platform you're almost starting at
zero you can drive some traffic but not if the original site is dead like if
YouTube ends tomorrow how are you gonna drive that you do traffic over to a new
site so I don't know I don't depend on just the one and I don't think anyone
else should either I give these young bucks a little advice and I'm like pick
two sites yeah I mean that makes a lot of sense at least I feel like we were
the same way at the rap battles in terms of like but everything was always
dependent on one project so if we did we had the YouTube channel and we started
the Facebook channel in the Instagram channel people would go to the Facebook
channel to either see the Rap Battles there if we decided to put them there or
see some sort of complementary or you know side content or something like that
it but starting a new product on a new platform is incredibly hard especially
if you're already known for one thing yeah I've had that struggle being like I
want to do my own music or I want to do a different project and there's a small
percentage of people that are super open to it and super accepting of it and the
majority of them are like fuck your life give me what I want
right and they only want the one thing and you tailor your product to that
platform so if you make videos for YouTube they're sort of tailored to the
YouTube algorithm if you're smart for example you wouldn't make a podcast and
go put it on snapchat it wouldn't work right right so it is very
difficult to make one product and sort of copy/paste it to every platform in
fact that's not a strategy at all if someone told me they did that I'd be
like well that's just not gonna last okay that was so trade what happened so
yeah so then you I called my usual con million times like you're in like you're
my mother and I ran out of money or something you could call your mom for
money no I wish uh so I call you and I because I know you have a contact over
YouTube I don't have a contact over there yeah I call you you hit up your
contact we hear nothing you hit up some other contacts over there we hear
nothing about a day and a half goes by and you get an email from YouTube and it
says what I got a email from my YouTube people that said and we're still in
post-apocalypse mode yeah at this point we're like I don't know if we're gonna
get our channel back I don't know if that we broke any rules somehow like
maybe accidentally or and that's what we wanted to know we wanted to know if we
had done something wrong could we could adjust and the other thing that was a
bummer - you're just talking about analog analytics and all that stuff is
when you upload videos like we have been and when you just upload on a regular
schedule what it does is it affects the algorithm of YouTube so that we pop up
more in your feed and things like that and when you ruin that on that roll on
that cycle it kind of screws that up and you start from zero yeah yeah even if
you shut even if you shut down for a day it's gonna restart you on the algorithm
yeah so finally and you tweeted at YouTube and finally on I don't know what
Saturday or Friday they they they put us back live again we went back live again
just suddenly suddenly I don't know where we didn't hear anything about what
had happened until after we were back live and what I got back was the policy
team just got back to me kings of influence has been restored occasionally
a video flagged by users or identified by our spam team is mistakenly taken
down which is what likely happened in your case I mean I guess I it's like
thank you for helping and thank you for getting back to me and thank you for
like somebody did something over there you got it done so thank you for that
but that's still super vague yeah does anything it's like it if how do we not
have that happen you know like how do we or was it just a
crazy glitch that just again that glitch that happened that shut the entire
website down it was super suspicious makes me think that maybe some adjusting
thing and we're like oh you said some sort of automated flag system that
ticked enough boxes is just gonna shut things down right and they'll have to
tweak that as they move along I can't begin to understand the complexity of
that from the backend but yeah we got restored and basically no answer of what
happened now well there it was a non-answer answer of basically like
sorry guys we screwed up yeah um sorry about the money you lost on that day and
all of your worry yeah and then you and then I had tweeted at at YouTube during
that whole process like hey yeah and what did they say I'm not trying to like
ask for special treatment I don't want a trophy I don't want a medal or anything
but let's not pretend lloyd and i aren't sort of veterans of the site going on
ten something years ten year we start a new channel it's a podcast it's me and
Lloyd sitting at a table talking into a microphone and our channel after a month
after maybe five weeks our channel is immediately suddenly deleted and there's
no explanation why there was no you know here are the Terms of Service guidelines
you're violating or anything like that and yeah we're absolutely clueless and
we can't get ahold of anyone can you help us out and you throw a dog a bone
over here I can't imagine what it would be like for some care cuz like we have
like sixty eight hundred subscribers right now which is awesome and all these
musics like a mail in it do it brush and it's nice to have you guys there you
have a channel with ten million subscribers I have a channel with over
ten so six thousand is a very different number relatively yet if I'm a kid
living in the middle of Indiana on my podcast channel and all of a sudden I've
grown six to eight hundred subscribers and I got what 70 videos that I've made
and that gets deleted out of nowhere first of all my channel is too small for
me to have a contact to even get in touch with so all I'm doing is screaming
into the empty air right and secondly probably my Twitter following isn't big
enough to where when I tweet at YouTube they're gonna respond so that's
terrifying man I can't imagine how many like how many people has that happen to
lots because ray Ruby lives ray we're Vick I feel personally
honestly I need a safe space so I got a little obsessive and worried during that
day yeah because we were we work really hard on this podcast and even though we
make it look easy like it's no problem you put a lot of work into something in
them when it's suddenly deleted you're like wait a minute yeah this sucks so I
I worried a lot that that 36 hour period and in my worry I googled this scenario
to see if I could figure out what had happened to other people when this
happened to them and so I'm reading these testimonials yeah and most people
were like it's been a month I still haven't got it back still haven't heard
anything like most people hadn't gotten their channel back in that moment or
just ever and some of them had started over that's crazy I think I read one guy
who was like yeah they eventually gave it back Wow so that could have been us
well that could have been us ray we had a close call I know it makes me
appreciate our website our podcast our webs our website yeah my website YouTube
calms you guys to check it out it's a you know it's an elephant video I hope
it takes off yeah right wasn't that the first YouTube video is a
guy at the zoo or some shit yeah me at the zoo me at the zoo is what it was
called and it was the one of the founders that does it yeah just that's
I'm gonna I'm gonna dedicate a whole youtube channel to that just me at
places at the zoo me in a public restroom me at your mom's house me yeah
me outside your window creep creep me in jail we're uh needless to say we're back
up thanks guys for getting a lot of you guys hit us up and let us know what was
going on that were the site was down and we really appreciate that that kind of
feedback is real important so thanks again for for sticking with us and we're
glad to be back yeah and if you want those updates Tech Kings 2 4 3 5 o 6 so
