No thanks, I've had two videos get strikes and removed by them. One was a video that showed people how to remove the FireStick stock launcher and replace it with Wolf Launcher so you could use a clean, ad-free launcher like Simple TV Launcher. And the other was just a video that walked people through using ReVanced Manager. I mean, I get it, it's their platform and they can choose what gets broadcast on it. And I'm also not entitled to them hosting a video that walks people through cutting out their revenue stream. But I read the policy they cited me breaking, and you would have to apply a very vague interpretation to say I broke it.

They gave me a warning and a 90 day revenue ban because I reuploaded a cartoon made by some guy who happened to do a mass shooting.

The description said it was there for archival purposes and I did not condone his actions... didn't matter

The cartoon had nothing to do with the shooting and wasn't even violent in and of itself. Didn't matter, I got slapped with promoting a criminal organization... even though the guy wasn't in a gang or anything...

I no longer upload to youtube. I'd risk google bans for a reason that may not even be in the rule book.
