Youtube Terminated My Account

Sorry guys, all my videos are offline for the time being.  I think maybe I got hacked - Youtube / Google is unapologetic, won't help me, all I get is an automated message.  I do not know what happened, but it was over an unboxing video I recently did.  It makes no sense to me other than someone hacked in, posted some seriously offensive stuff as me and now I'm permanently banned.

I will find a new home for my videos... when I have time.

If you need to see any of my video reviews in the meantime, please comment below and I will see what I can do.

I'm just too busy at this point to invest any more time.  If youtube feels losing all the extra revenue per month from my videos is not worth reviewing what actually happened - so be it.  It's like being with a bad business partner, and I don't want any more of it.

No, I will not be creating a new youtube account, nor am I allowed because my unboxing video apparently was that offensive somehow.

 

where godaddy went wrong

I have been a godaddy customer for years.  My company(s) use godaddy both for hosting and domain name registration in the past.  They are well known, provide good prices, and decent service - most of the time.

This past month whilst traveling abroad in through Asia, I submitted a simple request to remove an auto-renewing service called smart space (which is not worth it IMO).  I had it added in as a promotion when I registered this domain (mikemuonline.com).

Within minutes of using smart space, I decided it was going to be a waste of money and went with squarespace instead.  I immediately switched the site over.

Fast forward a month, and I find out that it was on autorenewal and I could not figure out how to remove it / cancel it.  I submit a request to customer service to please have them REMOVE the service immediately and that it was inconvenient for me to do so while traveling abroad.

They did not remove it.  They replied telling me how, which didn't help at all because 1. I had very limited internet access.  2. I still couldn't find it.

I replied and asked them again to please just remove it for me.

Today I got another bill for the service.  GRRR!!

Now that I have internet service, I removed the automatic renewal of the horrible smartspace.  At the end it asked me to fill out a survey - gladly!  Well the script failed and of course no survey could be submitted.

While I'm just out $10 because all of this is non-refundable (written in red on the side), they have lost a lot more business from myself and my colleagues.  I will now at most just register domain names with them and not recommend anything else.
