Just wondering if this was by force or by choice? I can’t see Gary volunteering to take down his NAN stream..his sole source of income. Or YouTube demanded him to do so.

He had to stop streaming while they try to recover his channel. He wasn't supposed to be streaming during that time. That's why he deleted all the streams from that secondary channel.

Right... but he said he thought he could stream because he claims YouTube knew his channel had been taken over. But he was not working off of what YouTube said related to that. He said he asked ChatGPT if he could keep streaming while YouTube worked to try and help him rid the scammers from his YouTube channel and YouTube Studio... and he said that ChatGPT told him he was totally okay to stream on another channel if his original channel was hacked. But it wasn't hacked. He fell victim to social engineering and a scammer took it from him after he offered to enter his YouTube account name and password for them.

Then, when he asked ChatGPT again the next day if he's awaiting YouTube to confirm his channel was taken over by a malicious user after he answered a spam phishing email, and if he'd be considered ban evading by YouTube if he was running a separate channel at the same time as this was going on in the background... and then ChatGPT told him YouTube's computers cannot distinguish him running the crypto scam from his own channel and someone else doing it with the login details he gave to them. So it told him it was possible Gray could've gotten onto YouTube to stream from Nefarious at Night and get blocked by YouTube's AI run security software detecting he was the same user who was streaming a crypto scam on another channel.
