My channel was deleted... HOW?
Jim Browning's youtube channel ^ | Jul 30, 2021 | Jim Browning

It wasn't exactly my finest hour, but it does go to prove that anyone can be scammed if the circumstances are exactly right. There were a few unfortunate incidents just prior to this phishing email and I explain how I was convinced to delete me own YouTube channel.

I got kicked out of the googlesphere for calling a man in a dress pretending to be a woman a “man in a dress pretending to be a woman will never be a woman” in the comment section.

So he was depending on free Youtube service to get his message out?

I think I’ve spotted the problem.

Beggars cannot be choosers. If he wants someone else to provide his
platform, then he might want to make sure they agree with his “material”.

Would you allow pro-abortion material on your platform if you had one?
No? Because you control it? Well looky there.

YouTube has been deleting content and accounts, especially of conservatives, and really for anyone who does not cow-tow to “the narrative.” YouTube has been doing deplatforming for quite a while now. Well,

You do not need YouTube.

There are alternatives to YouTube.

There are now many alternatives to YouTube.

Do not use YouTube.

Do not use Google (you do not need Google either).

Do not empower or enrich those who seek to destroy us.

Based on what evidence? Why did youtube tech support help him reinstate his channel after the ‘social engineering’ attack if they disagreed with his content?

that’s my second favorite musical mode after Dorian. The columns on ancient buildings are great, too, as they feature the filigree at the base.

Base player has to be good to play ironic mode. Ask Zappa.

Maybe you should be asking Youtube that question.

Why does it matter? This dude gonna save the world with videos or something?

Was this dude making money off his videos and now he’s not?

Is that the real issue?

Maybe he needs to get a job.

Do you think there was another reason?

Like he has poor hygiene or beats up Nuns or something?

Does he smoke up a bunch of Meth and go crazy?

So some stinky dude on Meth beats up Nuns and you want to defend him?

What Ever.

Jay, he deleted his own YouTube Channel, because of a scam that he had failed to look at the scmmer's email closely. He didn't loo at it closely because he had a legitimate email the day before because he had a new device he was using.

This video is telling those who watch what had transpired so that they will not be fooled by this scammer whose real intention was to steal his channel's revenue.

Youtube did not disagree with his content. Someone essentially hacked him via google chat convincing him he needed to set up a new account and move the old one over but instead the account got deleted.

Save the world no, but he has helped return money to older folks who got scammed, not to mention he probably makes a tidy 2nd income running this channel with 3m+ subs.

Mr Beast made $97 million from his google assiciation last year posting junk videos. Would you give up that job?
