Wow.
I checked my e-mail today and got a notice saying that the Ken Shamrock Highlights video I had uploaded violated Zuffa copyrights and had been taken down. It said that repeating these actions could result in a locked account, and I'd have the same problem two or three times in the past (uploading game videos), so I went to my account and noticed that all of my video links were blacked out.
I started freaking out about at that moment, so I clicked "My Account" to check my videos, and it told me to login .. so I entered my user and password and got the message, "This account has been permanently disabled."
So I basically just lost three high school football videos, one UVA-Wise video (all from last year), a bunch of map making tutorials for Doom, a huge assortment of console/PC gaming videos (many I made myself), my Washington DC videos (which can never be replaced IMO), and much more.
I just wanted to create this thread to say one thing:
F*** YOU YOUTUBE.
I had a Director account and uploaded many videos to help support the site, including several tutorial videos. If they want to take the stance in which they nitpick and allow other companies to budge in and claim copyrights and all this crap, I'm finished with YouTube.
Really, I'm pissed beyond words. Maybe I wouldn't be as angry if I didn't spend 1 or 2 hours today uploading more videos that I had made simply because I wanted to please my subscribers and keep my productions rolling.
All the hard work wasted.. I know that there will be those of you who only comment on the stupid "Chubz" videos I created, but you guys seriously have no idea how much work went into making my account as good as possible. Most of my videos were meant to be taken seriously, and they were not all random stupid ones such as the "Ask Chubz" series (which I took down anyways).
Ok, I'm done crying about this now. Just needed to vent. UGH.
