Youtube Terminated My Account

in ,

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.

 

Amazon Has Severed Ties - It's a Sad Day for Lots of Small Businesses

Hello,

Unfortunately, Governor Brown has signed into law the bill that we emailed you about earlier today. As a result of this, contracts with all California residents participating in the Amazon Associates Program are terminated effective today, June 29, 2011. Those California residents will no longer receive advertising fees for sales referred to Amazon.com, Endless.com, MYHABIT.COM or SmallParts.com. Please be assured that all qualifying advertising fees earned before today will be processed and paid in full in accordance with the regular payment schedule.

You are receiving this email because our records indicate that you are a resident of California. If you are not currently a resident of California, or if you are relocating to another state in the near future, you can manage the details of your Associates account here. And if you relocate to another state in the near future please contact us for reinstatement into the Amazon Associates Program.

To avoid confusion, we would like to clarify that this development will only impact our ability to offer the Associates Program to California residents and will not affect your ability to purchase from Amazon.com, Endless.com, MYHABIT.COM orSmallParts.com.

We have enjoyed working with you and other California-based participants in the Amazon Associates Program and, if this situation is rectified, would very much welcome the opportunity to re-open our Associates Program to California residents. As mentioned before, we are continuing to work on alternative ways to help California residents monetize their websites and we will be sure to contact you when these become available.

Regards,

The Amazon Associates Team
