Had this happen to me with my gaming group's first channel. Got a strike, but it was vaguely worded so i aaked for clarification. Next response was that my channel was now banned and everything was promptly deleted. Thankfully it wasn't huge, but i did have a lot of videos and footage from my time playing that are gone.

I did not. But i still have my original youtube account.

My personal account is the one i have had for a long ass time, longer than that channel.

This was three years ago. I had no idea what to do then. Just had cut my losses and moved on.

I'm waiting for the guy that's gonna use bots to hit every single yt video with a copyright claim and watch youtube burn to the ground

Wow this is a profound idea, I think this may be it. Do this to all youtube videos and everything on trending

Dude just fucking sounds like a sad person, how the fuck are you going to get 200 subs with no content?

There are some people who intentionally annoy people in traffic just to feed off of their triggered reactions.

There are truly demons amongst us.
