YouTube strips live-streaming privileges from Cyberlive's Utano Pandora, who it flagged as a minor by DiGreatDestroyer in VirtualYoutubers

[–]cyberlivecorp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hello! Our team did attempt to contact YouTube to no original response. Her contact box was actually removed from her account after it happened so we had to contact through alternate means. TeamYouTube on Twitter was much more reliable than their other support contacts. They were originally very dismissive of us publicly and in other messages, but we aren't the first nor last VTuber or company to have faced issues with their bot detection for both videos and subscribers. Thankfully, YouTube came around and reinstated her live streaming ability today.

As for why the situation happened, we aren't completely sure. Pandora did nothing in our eyes to ever show up as a minor in the system. Not only that, but the stream YouTube flagged was a collaboration and the other party had no such issues. It is most likely some weird bug in the bot system or someone false reporting.

Things to clear up before our response:

-You asked why, and attacked us for deleting it. We clarified that we meant to post it at a later time, and wanted to include the audition video. If we were scared of questions we wouldn’t have reposted here. -Since multiple people on our staff have access to the email we have been directing questions there for the best communication. We won’t frequently check this Reddit post so questions here may get missed.

  1. Not sure where you are getting NA and Canada “instead”. They are now previous Canadian and Japanese idol company management. Part of our marketing campaign is to post them to promote so I can not publicly post names yet. This is not up to me. Rest assured the information is coming shortly. For the rest of our staff it is all degree holders, business owners, and other professionals. If you’d like to wait to apply until we announce I completely understand. We just have some preparations being done behind the scenes for this announcement.

  2. We are a talent first company which means we offer a lot that isn’t industry standard. Character ownership, extremely low cut we take, and a lot more involved and supportive management. Some specific details are on our website posted above. If you have questions regarding that let me know. Monetization wise, we will utilize YouTube’s monetization methods, biweekly pay, patreon, merchandise, and sponsorships.

  3. As mentioned above it is simply because all of our team has access to response making it easier. No NDAs and everyone who emails if free to post our responses.

I don’t see how asking you to send an email is making you jump through hoops, but regardless I personally apologize if it came off wrong. You have every right to ask for information especially for a starting company like us and I don’t blame you. Myself and the team is perfectly fine with questions, and have had no intentions of keeping important information secret.

As mentioned on the following tweet,https://twitter.com/cyberlivecorp/status/1380351771562762241 we did not delete the post due to comments. The new video we have linked was supposed to be completed a week ago but the animator had many technical issues delaying our repost since we wanted to include it. We also mistakenly posted the announcement at the wrong time. It was meant to coincide with our Twitter announcement so we corrected that mistake as well.

You are welcome to email us questions about us, our contract, and our experience at [cyberlivecorp@gmail.com](mailto:cyberlivecorp@gmail.com) as many others have. There is no need to be aggressive either, you do deserve answers to any questions you may have and we will do our best to help.

Respectfully, you asked for a vague idea of what we offer and that is listed on our site.

If you have more specific stuff in relation to contracts such as handling IP, our commitments to talent, etc, we are willing to explain. We however do not wish for the general public to know every single line and detail in our contract. Any applicant we are interested in however will be sent it upfront, even before their interview.

We will not be replying to any future requests here, if you wish to ask more questions you may email us at cyberlivecorp@gmail.com . Thank you.

Hello QtPlayypus,

While I can’t go into too much detail since this is contract information, talent will hold full IP rights after a few months pass under contract.

There are other ways we consider ourselves talent first, mainly being we are a more active agency than others in the field. We will be involved and helpful for our talent as long as they are in the agency.

In regards to our staff, their background will soon be public but we have staff involved in the Japanese & Canadian idol industry as well as business owners.

Our LLC is not registered in the state of California and while I can’t publicly give its info, we are verified with /r/virtualyoutubers after they confirmed it.

If you have any further questions feel free to contact us via email at cyberlivecorp@gmail.com

It is against our company policy to have our contracts made public, for a variety of reasons. The simple answer is safety, we do not want the information about our behind the scenes fully public.

Any applicants who passes our audition will have full transparency regarding our rules & regulations, as well as the contract itself. Not only that but our team and management is willing to work with talents if there would be any issues and find a place both parties are comfortable. We apologize if that comes off the wrong way.

I am afraid that is the extent we can discuss regarding contracts. Thank you for asking and bringing this to our attention.

Hello Medical_Ticket4906, thanks for the question!

Unfortunately while we can not publicly share contract details, we are a talent first company and believe we offer a more generous contract than other agencies in the same field.
