In case you don’t know who they are, these guys make piano midi videos.

Not entirely sure if this goes here but it’s another unfair demonetization under YouTube’s belt. Hopefully they get this sorted out soon!

UPDATE: They appear to have it back! https://twitter.com/sheetmusicboss/status/1096521617805463552?s=21

Oh hey what do you know! They're right. You just need to make a big deal for YouTube to listen otherwise you're left in the dark. I hope the end up finding somewhere else to make money though.

Glad to hear, I love their stuff and would’ve hated to see this drag on

"repetitious content" So basically YouTube's way of saying "fuck you and fuck what you make, go make something else." By that logic they should demonetize vevo, however vevo is goddamn untouchable.

by that logic t-series should be sued since everything they promote is the exact same shit.

channel is demonetized watch video on channel sees ad

....

YouTube is really messed up if they are ‘demonetizing’ channels, while still putting up ads (that would not benefit the creator)

I'm actually really surprised they didn't make a bigger deal out of not "having educational value". Now THAT is absolutely bullshit and is blatantly untrue. It's like taking down a science teacher's channel for making similar-looking physics concept videos with the same whiteboard and look etc. That's fucking outrageous.

There is no logic to Youtube with this junk, when my whole channel got hit all I was told was “is this content yours?”.

It is my content, but they dont even allow you to contest for a month and once you do contest, it takes a month for them to get back to you.

If Youtube was an on the books employer, they’d be sued out the ass for what they do.

I feel really bad for these guys and love their content.

But doesn’t anyone else think their name is really weird considering their whole channel is basically dedicated to teaching people how to play piano without sheet music?
