We are going to sue YouTube
But before we do, our lawyer is currently in the process of sending a letter to YouTube.
Over 2 weeks ago our channel youtube.com/@UnderSparked was falsely demonetized under the "inauthentic content" policy.
Demonetized doesn't mean no ads though, all it means is YouTube will still run ads on the videos. But they pocket all the revenue, essentially stripping all the revenue from us.
We don't claim to be the pinnacle of quality content standards, but the following things do cause us to scratch our heads in confusion
1. All of the bigger channels in the same niche as us are monetized with no issues
2. We literally voice act, edit, etc, all our own videos while 100s of AI storytelling channels are still monetized
3. YouTube is fine with running ads on the videos, pocketing all the revenue. We assume if YouTube had such a big problem with the content, why still serve it to your advertisers?
4. 100s of reaction channels still stay monetized
Some examples of bigger monetized channels that are in the same niche as us are:
rSlash: youtube.com/@rSlash
DarkFluff: youtube.com/@DarkFluff
Oz's Vault: youtube.com/channel/UCoJ1Anu…
We support these channels, the reason we are providing these channels as examples is to showcase how it feels like we're being targeted.
This has caused extreme distress for my team and I. Many of our livelihoods and families rely on this channel. Our community relies on the UnderSparked channel.
Many people support the UnderSparked channel because in a time of nonstop AI channels, we stepped up and used real voice actors to cater to that connection and community that viewers on YouTube crave.
We truly believe this demonetization was done in error, all we want is a real human specialist to help us fix the issue.
We're tired of constantly receiving only copy and pasted templated responses, constantly neglecting/dismissing our attempts at fixing the false demonetization.
We're kindly requesting for a representative from @TeamYouTube to help us fix this demonetization issue with our channel.
We don't want to send letters, or sue, or anything! We simply just want to go back to producing content for our community.

The video game industry is lobbying against Stop Killing Games
California is considering a new law called AB 1921, also known as the Protect Our Games Act.
If passed, the bill would apply to paid digital games sold after January 1, 2027.
It requires that if a company shuts down the online services needed to play the game normally, it must give players 60 days' notice and either release a patch so the game can still be played or offer buyers a full refund.
The bill does not require companies to keep servers running forever. It simply prevents them from making a game unplayable without warning or a solution for those who already paid for it.
The Entertainment Software Association, the main group representing video game companies in the United States, is lobbying against the bill.
Their arguments are basically the usual ones:
>games are licensed, not owned
>online services are complicated
>third-party licenses expire
>security risks exist
>this could be hard or expensive to enforce
Supporters of the bill, including the Stop Killing Games campaign, say this is basic customer protection because when you buy a game, it should not suddenly stop working with no remedy.
The bill gives companies clear options and applies only to future games. A hearing is scheduled for this Thursday in the California Assembly Appropriations Committee.
If you are part of an organization in the United States, especially in California, you can submit a letter of support to the committee. This is an important step for better rights for players who buy digital games.
@gamestop, how did reviews for shampoo get onto a $120 pre-owned game? Are y'all selling luxury shampoo now under a game name?
Before anyone asks, this is the game in question:

I visited a gun shop in Indiana once and had to use the bathroom; inside was a portrait of a naked man with a thick wooden board covering where his private part would be. Curiosity got the best of me and I tried to lift the board. It let off an air horn throughout the whole store
