Mysticismlover YouTube Channel: Update

I'm not sure how many people from those following my YouTube Channel know about my blog, but just in case any of you are reading this, I'm compelled to write it.

Today, after 2 weeks of making an appeal towards YouTube's unjust decision to remove my channel, YouTube responded.








So, it is final. It is over. I have lost 10 years worth of work, 100+ videos.
I am heartbroken, I am sad. But above all, I am angry. I am angry AF.

I received an automated bot response. They didn't even have the decency to email me what exactly it was that I did/said which violated their guidelines.

You know why?
Because I did nothing wrong. Absolutely nothing.

If you do some research you'll see that lately YouTube has fucked people over monetisation. People have lost thousands of dollars, since YouTube apparently let's algorithms and bots do all the work.

I did some research on false/unfair account removals and I found thousands of testimonies on Google. Thousands. Some dating back to 2013.
Go ahead, check it out. A sample can be found here.

I am disappointed and extremely tired at this point.
I've fought with everything I had to get my channel back, but I give up.

You see, I had a small channel and my voice didn't matter. My followers didn't matter to YouTube.
I didn't monetise my videos, didn't even allow on my channel, so YouTube made 0 money off of me.

Did I get punished for that? Did I get punished for not making money to YouTube? Or was it the trolls who flagged my videos that are to blame? Maybe a bit of both.
Between the faulty YouTube algorithms and the hateful trolls flagging me, as a small YouTuber, I stood no chance.

But you haven't seen the last of me. I am planning my resurrection, or shall I say my rebirth.

Mysticismlover Rebirth will come to you soon.

And when it does, it will be through a platform far more reliable and fair than YouTube.

See you soon!

YouTube has a bug

My channel is still deleted.

On another note, I did some research and found out YouTube has done the same thing they did to me to thousands of other Youtubers, most of the time to small channels.
There are so many fora posts on that it's insane. Some date back to 2013.
Some people didn't even have videos, so it didn't even make sense to delete their channels. 
Also, when I logged in, before I found out my channel was deleted, YouTube told me there was suspicious activity on my account, and I had to give them my phone number to send me a text to log in. 
But I had already done 2 step verification (meaning to log in I had to use my password and get a text with another pass on my phone), so I thought that was normal.
However, everyone who had their account deleted got the same 'suspicious activity' notification and were told to log in using 2 step verification (even those who hadn't arranged for that).

So I may have gotten flagged by trolls, but I also think there's a bug on Youtube when it comes to getting flagged and strikes.

I don't get how a huge corporation and social media platform like YouTube haven't sorted such things, like, they have millions of users, having the same bug for 4 years and not fixing it is unacceptable!

My Youtube Channel has been removed

On Tuesday a video of mine got flagged by a few people.
Then I got a strike.

After 3 hours, I updated the description of another video of mine, informing my subscribers of what had happened.
That video got flagged and I got a second strike.

Today, the strikes were removed as I had been falsely reported.

During that time I had made all of my videos private, to prevent those targeting me from reporting my content.

Then, when my strikes were removed, I made my videos public again.

Within an hour, another video of mine got flagged and I got a strike. After 10 minutes another one. After 5 minutes another one.

My channel got removed.

I have spent over 10 years creating content for it. And that content isn't saved anywhere. So if my channel is lost, so is all that work, all those videos.

I know those horrible, those evil people targeting me are trying to silence me.
They are petty, they are cowards.
They don't dare show their faces.

I don't understand how anyone can be so hateful towards a person they've never met, to put so much time and effort into destroying them.

I pity them. They are sad.

And the truth is, they will never be happy, because their souls are dark, and miserable.

If you are someone who was following my channel (Mysticismlover), if you enjoyed my content, please, help me get my channel back. Let Youtube know they have made a mistake.
I will be forever grateful for that.

Youtube Strikes (2)

Still baffled at how there are videos depicting sexual acts, violence, sexual harassment, racism, misogyny, drug use and crime among others on YouTube, yet two videos of me talking in my room got removed.

To get two strikes for something that I didn't do, because I did not violate the Community Guidelines, is so unfair.

I wish I could find those despicable people who aim to destroy my channel. I wish I could meet them in real life, as I know that they're hiding behind a screen to hurt me, but I doubt they'd actually dare to confront me in person.

Every day I see the ugly face of humanity, and I get more and more disgusted by how it has come to look.
Every day I feel more and more discouraged to exist on this planet.
Every day I am convinced humans are inherently evil.

I got 2 YouTube strikes within 3 hours

I have been on Youtube since 2007. Over 10 years now.

During that time, I have never had an issue.

I have shared hundreds of videos through that platform, and especially since 2015, I have been uploading consistently a video every Monday.

Yet, today, for the first time in my Youtube career I got a strike. Twice. Within 3 hours.

Allegedly I violated Youtubes Community Guidelines.

Only issue is that I didn't.

Both videos depicted me in my room talking about stuff. On the first video I was talking about how you can survive your first year in uni, and on the second about how you can break the cycle of getting into bad relationships.
Does any of that sound harmful to you?

Exactly.

I suspect this is a targeted attack against my person and my channel.
After all, this isn't the first time I have been attacked on social media.

But to think that Youtube let a mere algorithm choose the fate of my channel... That is insulting.

I am now prohibited from uploading new content for sometime.
I also chose to make all my videos private to ensure I wouldn't get another strike, as I think there are people reporting my content to take my channel down.

It's such a shame as I don't have my videos saved anywhere else but youtube, and so, if my channel gets taken down, I will lose all of them. And that would mean thousands of hours of work going to waste.

To the persons who did this: You will not silence me. I will always find other platforms to share my voice.

Random Thoughts XXI

And then you realised that you can't fill that void inside you no matter how hard you try to trick yourself into doing so.
Pretentious actions, virtual attractions...
It all ends the same.
