My Q&A videos now ready!

Post by **Winston** » April 30th, 2010, 3:15 am

Hi folks,
I'm going to start something like a new video mailbag where I answer questions on video about Happier Abroad. I thought it would give me some practice making more videos and be a good promotion for Happier Abroad. So if you have any questions you want me to answer and address, post it in the comments section of this video announcement:

I will take a few from there and address them in the next video.

Thanks,
Winston

Winston, what on earth was in those videos?

Here is the message at youtube:
This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.

Not a message of "removed by user", so it was yt that yanked them.
You'd think some violence or extreme graphics were in them or something.

Even if you had copyrighted music, they just mute it out.

Please enlighten us as to why these were removed. Also if they were worthy enough, try to re-post them, or at least do a Sticky text version here.

There was nothing bad in them. My YouTube account got suspended. That's why they were removed. I'm trying to get it back, or else reupload them to another account.

Since YouTube kept removing my Q&A mailbag videos, I've hosted them on Vimeo instead. Here is the new link to them:

I wonder who is having your youtube videos removed. Maybe you can call them and ask why they were taken down. I'm sure they would give you a reason.

YouTube doesn't give you a reason except "content inappropriate". They won't discuss it. Everyone who has had their videos pulled has complained about this, because in most cases, the videos did not technically violate any of the YouTube community guidelines. This means that YouTube staff or auditors are obviously operating from personal bias and not following the rules.
