 Demonitization This is Buzzweaver with a very important message from the Lost History channel as the YouTube specialists are doing the rounds with the Demonitization bringing channels like ours to its knees and putting serious doubt into our survival We are left with no other option But to ask for help from you guys who watch and like our content and who have supported us from day one Of course, this puts us in a position We hate to be in but there isn't another option at the moment It is a path that we never intended to go down But we literally have no choice but to ask for patreon support at this point in the proceedings To say we are shocked Deflated utterly let down or demoralized is an understatement the work We have put into making this channel a success and beating the YouTube algorithm into accepting us as series YouTube prospects was off the scale This is something we worked hard at and we were only getting better as time went by The reason given from YouTube was that we reused content We suspect that this was our use of news coverage in our videos that may have been uploaded by other channels as well As our own we thought this was falling under fair use But apparently there has been a change of tone in the YouTube policies recently Upon receiving this email from YouTube, you can imagine the levels of disappointment and frustration The Lost History channel makes a concentrated effort to stay within the rules policy and terms of service laid out by YouTube at this time We ask our valued subscribers viewers and supporters to consider contributing to our patreon account Your generosity and contribution at a level you think is fair Will be greatly appreciated as we work through this challenging time as the voice of the Lost History channel I've come to appreciate and value your guys support I feel confident that we will be able to work through this setback So that we can't continue to bring you guys the valued content you've come to expect
