Save Changes
Now click "Modules."
Unclick Subscribers, Subscriptions, Other Channels and Comments.
Leave Recent Activity checked.

Now create a bulletin (this goes to all your subscribers and friends)
It should say something like:
"Hello all my youtube friends. I am supporting the boycott of youtube. Join me. Boycott youtube Every Sunday! If you upload videos, then make all your videos unlisted except the protest videos. Make your playlists/favourites private too. And feature a boycott video as much as you can."
Then Copy and paste into the area where it says "Enter Youtube video URL"

@Tatstube77 every participant helps make a difference. But, we must do more than boycott. Real boycotts take time to plan and execute. I fear we dont have enough time to fully implement and inform people before google finalizes its decisions. 5 billion views a day, 600 million accounts, 1 million new accounts each day. We need more boycott videos - about 1 million - to affect youtube. They need to point to one location. And each uploader needs to be a subscriber of that location.
