ok, so basically, I started posting frequently on my furry youtube channel on October 15th. On October 12th, YouTube disabled all my features. At first, I didn't notice, cause if I would have noticed, I would have made a new channel immediately. Since October, I've gotten about 480,000 views, which translates to about $500 (give or take), but since youtube disabled all my features including AdSense, I wasn't able to profit.

My first video from my "frequent videos" was my "Reading Furry Hate on Reddit" video, which got 50,000 views. I know that this video along with my "Help! My Kids A Furry" video are the reason for my youtube success so far, and if I were to make a new channel now, I would lose that. Starting over doesn't seem like a practical option at this point, and it's against YouTube's terms of service to make a new account in order to use AdSense.

Anyway, so heres where the story gets interesting. On my comedy channel, these features are NOT disabled because it is completely separate from my furry channel. In November, Google reached out to me by assigning me a YouTube manager who would be available to help me with anything I need. I avoided contacting her about my furry channel right away because I wanted to get a little more comfortable with her.

A few days ago, I asked her about my furry channel and asked why it has been disabled, then out of nowhere, she dropped me. So now I don't have a manager lol.

Adding on to that, YouTube has a service where if you get more than 15,000 hours of watch time on your videos in a 90 day period, then you can get email support with a Google employee. My furry channel gets over 17,000 hours, but YouTube still won't offer me email support.

YouTube allows for me to send in "appeals" to get my features back, but in the appeals we have to answer questions like "did you violate any terms" and "what do you think caused the system to disable your features"

I literally have no idea why my features were disabled, so I said it was by error. YouTube didn't like that answer. After the appeal, they replied with a "fuck you" basically. And now, every time I send an appeal, I get an almost immediate response saying I can't have the features, but with no reason why. They say they can't tell me why to "protect their systems."

I am completely convinced that my channel was either flagged by error, or sabotaged by a troll on 4chan or something. YouTube has a form I can fill out to report sabotage, but I'm unable to submit it because it's required that I have a working AdSense account to do so, which.....they disabled. (Kind of a flawed system)

So this is kind of the reason why I'm starting a Patreon page. I work very hard on my videos and having an additional source of income that branches off my videos would allow me to buy new and better equipment so I can make even better videos and further my experience with film and cameras (since I am a Film major).

I see artists doing Patreon, so me doing it would be no different.

I'm not really expecting a lot of people to donate, but even if a few people do, It will still help me a lot :) Thanks for reading!

PS - I do not plan on stopping making furry videos, this is just something extra for the people who want to help support me to do better!
