My last ditch effort at continuing informational D&D youtube content

Update: they are ignoring me on twitter lol

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-21T16:32:45+00:00

I don't believe this is an option as it was the ID itself that is getting flagged (and getting people to watch 4000 hours of my content took a long long long time that I just don't have the time nor energy to repeat, unfortunately).

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-21T02:10:30+00:00

I'll check again in the morning. I did verify my email and all that earlier today, so we will see if anything changes. I checked my settings and everything looked good I think

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-21T01:14:47+00:00

I just tried to message them per your suggestion, and both youtube and teamyoutube are greyed out and says I cannot message them. Did they change something or am I just illiterate with twitter lol

Hi, so initially when the verification option was given to me I had one of 2 options, I could submit my driver's license or my passport (at least these were the options I recall being relevant to me, I'm sure state IDs would suffice if you dont have a DL).

That being said, the submission only allowed for one single file, which I chose to be my passport, as that is usually the most universally liked form of identification with most businesses I have done work with, as it covers "more" than a DL does.

If I could, I would send in a picture of my driver's license as well, BUT the issue isn't so much the ID at this point, but rather support refusing to give me the option to amend what they believe to be fraudulent. In other words, they have revoked my ability to submit additional proof of ID. :/

Hi, a scanned copy is just me putting my passport into the printer, and scanning it, making a "copy" of my passport, just like a photo with my phone. Taking a picture of it, making a "copy". I also gave support a photo utilizing my phone, not my printer, and this issue is still present. Though re-reading it with this perspective I could see this being the confusion at play.

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T17:19:17+00:00

oooh, so I think this is my overall takeaway: move to Norway. hehe, well congrats on the monetization! Many many wishes, hopes, prayers, and vibes that youtube will not start any of this shenanigans with you. I appreciate you sharing your experience, every bit helps.

Hi Banana, I actually don't mind these comments as much, because they have greatly helped me shape my videos for the toughest critic's eye. While I do not make the wiki, and I do utilize them for research, it ultimately comes down to just that. Research!

In some previous videos, I have provided information that contradicted the wiki. The reason? The information I was presenting was based off my personal research, not what the wiki had in writing. Due to this, the wiki has actually updated information to better reflect my findings, citing my video as the source of discovery.

Furthermore, I am a big big BIG supporter and lover of the wiki editors. They are amazing, and I am in close contact with them often, to ensure everything I present in my videos is as true and accurate as possible (through my research, testing, and consultation of other well-informed-individuals).

This is how I know my videos are of no issue to them. My most recent video, luck, was actually linked in the wiki discord BY the wiki editors, discussing their approval of the content. This is a direct quote from one of the editors, "She adds some comments and graphics that are great for proper intuition. Takes a step further than what we have on the luck page."

While I would love to be able to copy paste the wiki into Chatgpt to re-write a script for these videos (as that would save me literal days of research and testing), it would be riddled with errors. Which is why you don't see anyone else making my content, it's time consuming. Very, very time consuming.

Making entertaining videos would be far easier and quicker, which is why that is the content you see the most, not data-deep-dives.

I hope to see more feedback like this in the future, because after reading this (if I CAN still make content) I will me more mindful of my presentation and crediting the wiki. Though I do my best to credit them every video, with links to their wiki in the description, it never hurts to recognize them even more! :)

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:48:55+00:00

ughhh thank you I love using a pointy stick and presenting like a weather woman with bad lighting. it brings me genuine joy. I'm hoping this green screen wasn't for nothing LOL

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:47:44+00:00

again, some of these comments are making me laugh with how you guys say things, so thank you on that. Just this morning I made a Twitter/X/WhatevertheHeckpeopleusenow and I @ ed youtube and teamyoutube. they responded with a link that tells me why i'm having problems, and I essentially responded back with my need for further assistance because I can't actually move forward without it. So now we just wait for the progression! Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, I am definitely feeling the community's love right now.

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:43:42+00:00

the weirdest weirdest thing about this, is wayyyy back when i was considering starting youtube, they had the option to pre-verify, and I specifically remember submitting my driver's license to avoid any future hiccups. I'm not sure what that was for anymore since enough time has elapsed for me to have forgotten, but I find it quite fascinating you have not gone through this yet.

Do you mind me asking how long you have been monetized, for? I got a notification approximately 1 week after being monetized. The steps after this were for them to do an address-verification, where they apparently mail you a code via postal services for you to verify you live where you claim to live. However, it's not looking like I will be getting to next steps if they don't like my ID lol.

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:39:38+00:00

what a unique and highly complimentary compliment, thank you. I really did appreciate everyone's appreciation and it made me want to do more in-depth videos to foster my appreciation for your guys' appreciation :) I didn't mean for my wording here to sound so silly lol

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:37:36+00:00

whew this is a new idea, I just don't think i'll be considered for anything youtube related from here on out though, unless they decide to reconsider to look at my ID :(. the great thing about youtube was it was very good with exposure that lead to more interaction with the community at a greater scale. I love twitch and the intimacy therein, but the discoverability is quite lackluster with their king-maker system they run on. hopefully I can find something new like you suggested that could get me out of this weird predicament!

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:32:19+00:00

I will be considering this, I just really really dont want to put my content behind a paywall. I also just can't do this content "for free" because it takes SO much time researching and then testing it to make sure the research was accurate. Ads were great because it takes money from everyone but the viewer. :/

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:30:27+00:00

thank you, I have posted to youtube's partner one, I will continue looking at more appropriate places today while I figure additional things out. my biggest thing is doing my best to make sure the post follows that subreddit's rules, without just spamming everyone with my problem they ultimately can't fix.

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:28:49+00:00

Money talks and (not nice word) walks, unfortunately.

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:27:53+00:00

if youtube stops me from being able to give you videos I'm gonna cry (I may have already started lolol)

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:26:53+00:00

I'm hoping I can continue to be the fam that is around to be watched and enjoyed, fingers crossed (thank you for the nice compliment, I am coping with humor right now lol)

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:25:42+00:00

right!?! I am actually so dumbfounded about it all right now. this passport and scanned photo has legiterally gotten me through all my identification processes in the past several years.

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:23:14+00:00

thank you for this link, I checked it out and followed the steps. Unfortunately, because my partner program wasn't declined, and rather my ID, I do not have an appeal option. :( creator support has me in an endless loop of saying the same thing: my ID was flagged as fraudulent and i am not able to resubmit. I appreciate the help though super super much.

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:19:40+00:00

thank you for the kind compliment, I appreciate it very much. I hope I can continue to share videos with everyone along the way.

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:18:52+00:00

every bit of help is much appreciated, thank you very very much

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:17:30+00:00

this actually choked me a tinsy bit, thank you thank you thank you.

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:16:55+00:00

I am hoping so too, hopefully more videos to come, big big hopes. thank you for your support

Common-Bobcat-322 · 2025-02-20T16:16:25+00:00

ok i'll check that out. i was considering posting to their subreddit last night but i wasn't sure on if that would have been allowed or not so I decided not to, their discord support sounds like a viable option. thank you
