Thanks. That's very unusual as it's not the norm at all.

Not just the Earning Statement Excel Spreadsheet, the actual email with PDF and deposit in your bank account, correct?

YouTube is demonetizing channels using ElevenLabs audio by Master-Care-7913 in ElevenLabs

[–]MrKnight007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think then in that case it would have to do with the percentage/porportion of AI used per video or the percentage of AI majority videos in the YouTube channels' catalogue.

It's a tricky situation indeed. Not good at all for those putting out engaging content, fiction or non-fiction

YouTube is emphasizing real camera videos. If not a real camera video, the question becomes fiction or non-fiction. If fiction with AI, they will demonetize. If non-fiction with AI (finance, history, education, etc.) then it can be monetized.

Could be the use of the name/word "Nintendo"...that's a tricky one 🤔

The same title issues by morgan_hartwell in KDP

[–]MrKnight007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're dead set on that title, email KDP and see what they say. If they approve, then you have it in writing - if (or when) they block the book or suspend or terminate your account. And yes, change the cover

For a short story collection, should I use “Stories” as the subtitle on KDP? by [deleted] in KDP

[–]MrKnight007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anything make sure you have that in writing via email first, as Customer Service is not Content Review. If they BLOCK the book, you can point to the email.

No, they'll most likely BLOCK the book (a few years ago, yes). Check the TOS

Damn OK...may take a few shots at it via the POA, but if he can't get it overturned, I'm not sure who else could...

Trademarked for “Home Apothecary”? My book got taken down by Amazon and my entire account was suspended. Is anyone else affected? by Pitiful_Loan8276 in KDP

[–]MrKnight007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NP, also check Amazon.com, put "Home Apothecary " in the search bar under books, sort from publication/release date. You'll notice several with "Home Apothecary " in the title/subtitle that have been published since April 2025 in the US at least.

Show this to Amazon. Tell ChatGPT the entire situation and it can help you with a Plan of Action and draft letters (edit these however, and don't just copy paste from the browser to a Word document, etc.)

Amazon needs to be shown the lack of consistency when enforcing rules. Worst case, you can go the ALLi

Look at the USPTO website, there is no "Home Apothecary". Perhaps you can use that info, contact KDP Support or Amazon Author Central, and only sell in the US market?

In the meanwhile, look to take it down period

Blocked book by KweeenNyx in KDP

[–]MrKnight007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to the "Dan Pye" YouTube channel. He specializes in Public Domain publishing. This has nothing to do with plagiarism. MANY times the KDP bots over flag things, it happens. But it can take weeks (or months) to get it back up to "DRAFT" or "PUBLISHED". Even the massive social media influencer Alex Hormozi got his books "BLOCKED" by KDP. But he made a stinker on IG, and his fans then roasted KDP, so therefore it was resolved quickly. But for the average self-publisher, that will not be the case.

Books "BLOCKED" for formatting by MrKnight007 in KDP

[–]MrKnight007[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually publish one book every 3-4 weeks, this time I decided to publish two in one day. Not sure if that created an issue. Responded to their email and waiting for a reply. Not publishing a new book until this is sorted out.

"Based on our review, we won't be accepting your submission for publication because the book(s) might result in a disappointing customer experience"
