It's surely not my first time having accounts that I built for many years and posted thousands of videos and entries, being completely wiped out from the internet. Ya, you bet, I'm used to it by now.
With the Chinese authoritarian regime, it's about not yielding or kneeling for what I don't believe in - the opposite of freedom and integrity. Same with YouTube, I don't comply with society's norms when it comes to sex, marriage, women, and men; I disagree with and refuse to kneel to the conservative Christian or Abrahamic way of thinking and living, so ya, I would never remember to blur out some 1100-year-old stone carving from Indian temple of two men holding their penises and enjoying themselves in the most natural way, even though YouTube had warned me once before.
It is art and history, YouTube has lost its senses and has absolutely no taste in art. So I don't bother.
Didn't feel a thing, only did "meh" in my mind. It's good for me actually, since the incentive to use this platform has been drastically dropping for some time. Why? Because most of the interesting content is not on YouTube anymore. They have merely 20 to 30 good accounts with some real educational videos, other than that, YouTube chose a path to suffocate all other creators with dark age rules and regulations and hence they are mostly gone or on the way to look for alternatives. Only some pious preachers who directly aim for viewers' pockets and low self-esteem eaters who need constant validation are sticking around.
But Raj was upset and on it. He was like, "No, it's not right, it's AI's work, we need human reviews." "But babe, all the appealing channels were responded to by AI and I did try everything but only got replies like 'No Trespassing and No Entry, Bitch'." "It's okay, we will get it back, I gonna contact people I know in Google."
So he actually did. Someone who invested in Raj's new startup happened to work at YouTube. I doubted that's gonna resolve anything but he would at least show Raj that he tried.
Meh, who cares, the account back or gone forever. Deep down I actually prefer it to be gone forever. Because that's precisely about my life: goodbyes are hard but necessary, and I'm constantly moving on to new fancies and likings. For the past month, I have changed horse riding coach, children's orthodontist office, and general dentist. It's hard to announce the news "you are not good enough anymore so we have to move on" when they thought they had your loyalty for all these years. But baby, it's good until it's not good, I don't hang around for no one and I need to teach my children how to unstuck themselves. I might make people feel good with generosity and kindness but business is business. And sadly in our lives, most affairs are strictly business even if you have the illusion of some sort of "ship" for a short moment. We live in a cold capitalist world baby. YouTube and all internet affairs stayed strictly business to me. So ya, no feelings are involved here, it is what it is and what it deserves is merely a "meh".
