This image broke their TOS about "sexual content"?
What a joke!
Uh yea, it's insinuating he's putting a phallus in his mouth. Why wouldn't it? If someone took a pic of one of your family members and did the same, you wouldn't be offended?

What a joke!
Act man made two very fun videos.I've seen enough from both of them to know I don't really care for either of their style of content. But the way they've both been dragging out this whole thing is both hilarious and embarrassing at the same time, to me anyway.
But I'm not interested in demonizing QuantumTV or TheActMan, or defend them either. Just wanted to give my quick two cents before Summer Games Fest kicks off
This all started because somebody had a negative opinion about Elden Ring and somebody else just couldn't accept that. lmfao
Act man made two very fun videos.
That’s all for dragging
This is what happens when you launch a hate campaign based on lies
The act man tried to use his large following to destroy QTV based on false accusations, confirmed by youtube as false claims.
Youtube should ban him and the rest of the clowns do not understand how youtube works
People made a big deal about QTV contacting his mom when Alanah Pearce did the same thing to trolls years ago and got cheered for it give me a break
This was an easy win for Quantum
Watch this video if you want an unbiased overview of the situation
Quantumtv is a religious fanatic nutjob that dosent know shit about technology or tv calibrations. Several other tech channels prove him wrong. Add that to the homophobic tirades he goes on and youtube defending him on pride month makes it funnier.
To all of you with the "boo hoo get a real job" rhetoric, youre right but it also shows your envy of not being capable of forming a community and videos that appeal to other people that share your tastes. Act man tried to defend a 16 year old from QuantumTV. QTV was abusing copystriking and making videos fixated on the boy's subscribers and age.

So... his video would be valid if it was universally fun and not for his fanbase ?!That's the absolute hilarious part about it.
Fun for who? His fanbase.
Which again is just reaffirming my initial post on it; this stuff's entertaining for their fans, which is a big reason why they've been in a back-and-forth this long.
I just find the juvenile nature of it kind of funny.
He outranks all of that in the hierarchy. February > JuneQuantumtv is a religious fanatic nutjob that dosent know shit about technology or tv calibrations.

What kind of backwards ass thinking that is.
The drama is not for you so what are you even trying to achieve here
yeah I agree with this outlookThat the drama is dumb. Especially considering what really started it all was a shitty take on Elden Ring that somehow turned into wrongthink and then spiraled into this mess of a situation.
It's entertaining, precisely because the stupidity that spawned it. But since part of the drama is to entertain, it's fulfilling at least that much.
Uh yea, it's insinuating he's putting a phallus in his mouth. Why wouldn't it? If someone took a pic of one of your family members and did the same, you wouldn't be offended?

This is why internet men are such pussies in current year.Uh yea, it's insinuating he's putting a phallus in his mouth. Why wouldn't it? If someone took a pic of one of your family members and did the same, you wouldn't be offended?
Odysee?That's why the world needs a non profit, jointly funded, open source youtube alternative, where creators can be creatively free. I could share it's profits accross all indiviuals equally. Something like that would work just as well as youtube. The only problem is the get the huge amount of money to start such a thing. On the other hand, it could start small and then become big.
You're the first person I've seen go through the exact same as me. I had a small channel (around 20k subs) that, at my peak, would net me about 500 bucks a month. This was great since I only put a couple hours a week worth of effort into it.I stopped a while ago making content because YouTube wants a very specific kind of content and lot of content we see is actually endorsed by YouTube's behaviour.
I had a small income for years with YouTube, didn't do much but had some videos with good clicks and comments, videos that were clicked even years after its upload. No issues for a very long time.
Then I noticed that payments stopped (it took a while for me to notice because it was small sums and only two times per annual). Then I saw that monétisation for my whole channel was disabled because of "repetitive content". They didn't tell me which videos were the problem, they only refered to official guide lines which didn't help at all. No further explanation whatsoever, only that I should delete some content that is "not meaningful" and "repetitive", and that delisting or setting it to private won't help.
Since I've lost the YouTube partner status I've lost access to the support so I couldn't ask anyone directly.
The only thing you can do is to reapply which is handled manually and you can only reapply after a certain period which grows longer the more you reapply.
They give you the option to upload and explanation video why your channel should be kept monetized and what kind of effort goes into your uploads.
Sorry but I don't spend hours explaining myself so I get the same benefits I've had before. I shouldn't even explain myself because people liked the content I've had and clicked it and generated ad revenue for YouTube, too.
Probably too little for the upkeep and server cost, I don't know.
Then I realised that when I removed some gameplay content of video games that I could monetize my channel again so I thought it's video game walkthroughs YouTube has a problem with and sees as "repetitive content" because it even shows you how much of your content is used by other users. And because games are often the same, especially with cutscenes I often got flags of 80-99% matching. Now if others got that too, then you could argue, according to YouTubes guide line, that this is "repetitive".
Why this is an issue, I don't know. Also, lots of my videos were in Germany and the notification stated clearly that my explanation video has to be in English or Indian and is manually evaluated.
Great. So some Indian's watching my channel, doesn't understand a single word of German except for "Bier" or "Tschüss" maybe but has to evaluate my channel; then sees it's all video games with a >80% match. Of course he says "repetitive" or "not meaningful" and flags my channel for demonization.
But when I would make videos about opening loot boxes or card packs and hold my ugly ass face into the camera it's of course """unique""" and not repetitive at all because it doesn't have a high percentage match.
And that's how you flood your platform with this kind of shit.
I've heard from a lot people making film analysises and reviews suffer from the same problem because their videos got a high percentage match of material that is "used in other videos".
It's a shit show and I know why many people have a patreon account or switched to Twitch where you can earn money by sitting in your chair or tub unless (only applicable if you're hot, mind you).
I stopped trying to cater to YouTube anymore. Channel is again demonetized. But it's way too much effort and trouble for the small amount of money I've got out of it so I'll just leave it.
fuck off YouTube.
Buddy of mine got offered some kind of sponsership where he had to mirror all of his content to their website. But he dipped after seeing a video on the frontpage of some old guy screaming the n word at little kids lol
Uh yea, it's insinuating he's putting a phallus in his mouth. Why wouldn't it? If someone took a pic of one of your family members and did the same, you wouldn't be offended?
Oh no
Time for him to get a job
Yea trying to get someone wiped from the internet because they criticized your favorite videogame and don't like boy on boy activities is the epitome of manlinessThis is why internet men are such pussies in current year.
It gets more ridiculous. They're claiming to have removed him over joke tweets mocking their inaction!
The Act Man is a very popular gaming youtuber. Youtube decided to demonetize his entire channel after he complained about getting an unfair strike for one of his videos.
Charlie explains the whole situation pretty well in his video:
Essentially:
The Act Man has recently produced some critical videos about Blizzard, Halo and various other companies. Dude is legit funny, produces some well thought-out content and we need independent content creators like him.
- Act Man gets a strike for "nudity and sexual content" for photoshopping a cucumber into somebody's mouth
- He never gets a chance to edit the video
- He then complains on Twitter about the whole situation because he has nobody to talk to at Youtube
- Youtube then decides to basically nuke his entire channel out of spite
Once again Youtube shows how little it cares about its content creators. Your entire existence can be snuffed out in the blink of an eye.
Prelude:
I liked The Act Man and im not a fan of souls games but one thing I know for sure is to keep Elden Ring out my mouth. Act Man would still be on YouTube if he would’ve left it alone, don’t let other peoples opinion affect your income.
They're both little bitches, how bow da?Yea trying to get someone wiped from the internet because they criticized your favorite videogame and don't like boy on boy activities is the epitome of manliness
It gets more ridiculous. They're claiming to have removed him over joke tweets mocking their inaction!
So QuantumTV gets nothing for actually calling his mother?What a moron.
He'll probably get monetized again, but those were some idiotic ass tweets. What kind of fucking idiot posts "joke" threats to the company that pays their bills lol
"Haha, im so superior I did not notice this random's humans existence. My schedule is so full. Let me post in the thread so everyone knows and hopefully trigger some snowflakes."Who?
I've had it happen to me last year, and I have had to switch careers. It sucks, but that's reality. Like it or not, youtube is not a job, it is income. They don't give you a 401K and a Christmas bonus. They are not an employer.People who say "oh too bad now they have to go get a real job" is just sad old boomers, angry because they've made bad life decisions and can't play video games all day, make videos about it and earn money. Or jealousy.
Either way, this is actually people's livelyhood that gets taken away by unfair means. I would like to see how you guys would react if something like that happened to you.
What other video platforms offer monetization? YouTube seems so unstable for certain types of content.
It gets more ridiculous. They're claiming to have removed him over joke tweets mocking their inaction!
Yikes. Seems like the first thing you need to do if you have any sort of success on YouTube is immediately make investments so you don't need YouTube. I guess that can be said for anything in life, but the amount of uncertainty going on there is pretty alarming.twitch is his only other option and that's a whole different thing, and they will ban you for little to no reason at all too
