#For years, I saw

TeamYouTube

as a partner.

Partners grow together. Partners support each other.

I didn’t expect Youtube to be my friend. They don’t want me to succeed out of the goodness of their heart.

They want me to succeed because this will make them money from the ad revenue!

So when my channel got terminated without any notice, nor strikes, a week ago, I felt betrayed.

My partner just stabbed me in the back.

Deleted 3 years of hard work.

I won’t be able to say anymore: Just watch this clip, I already covered why Bitcoin mining doesn’t waste energy.

I won’t be able to refer other Bulgarians to my video where I explain why you cannot simply “hack the blockchain”.

Why decentralisation is important. It’s of the utmost importance actually!

Why PoW is superior to PoS.

And so many whys.

Answered in the Bulgarian language.

A language that few people know. And even fewer can answer these questions in.

Bulgaria is a small country. I get it. We are not that important.

But honestly, does this mean we should be forgotten?

I did my part. I worked hard. Disciplined myself. Made content every day.

Over 3 years I had 400 solo streams and 100 podcasts with guests.

This content was chopped into pieces, thousands of clips for my audience to watch.

Future and present.

Content that helps people understand what Bitcoin is.

Why fiat corrodes the very fabric of society.

Why “2% inflation is mandatory for the economy” is a lie.

After all of this effort, I achieved a miracle.

People actually liked and watched my content!

Think about it.

23,500 subscribers in 3 years in Bulgaria is the same as 1,210,000 subscribers in the USA!

(America has 52 times larger population than Bulgaria)

Not just that - Bulgarians don’t usually make any investments.

We are, literally, “the poorest country in the European Union”.

Think about that.

Do you think the poorest country is filled with people who have financial education or habits?

Who invest regularly in their paper savings, in stocks, bonds and more?

Of course not. It’s all apartments for Bulgarians, that’s pretty much the only investment people know.

So for me to be able to capture so many people’s attention and to orange-pill them was truly a miracle.

Youtube stabbed me in the back.

They told me that I am not worthy of their time.

They don’t need to talk to me.

They can just terminate my account, ditch me in the dirt and send me an automated email citing that I’ve crossed the community guidelines.

No strikes. No warnings. No communication.

Direct termination.

I am grateful that the Bitcoin community is so supportive of this matter.

For without your help, I wouldn’t have made it even to here.

If Youtube doesn’t unblock my account, I will move forward. I will move past them.

And I will never forget how they set me back.

The Bulgarian Bitcoin community will continue, because #Bitcoin is just that important."

Damn that's rough... hopefully all your content is backed up and you can rebuild here on nostr and elsewhere!

This is from Plamen Andonov, who's YouTube channel got cancelled out of the blue. His content is not backed up, from what I understand.

Uff 😳

From what I've seen, most YouTubers blindly trust Google and have no backups at all of their final materials or source materials. Compete dependency.

Most people have the same setup with their family photos too.
