YouTube eventually responded, intending to leave a message in two tweets. However, it only sent one tweet, and just... forgot to send the next part, I suppose.

"Upon careful review, we've confirmed that your channel was suspended for violating Google's Terms of Service," says YouTube support. "While it didn't violate any YouTube channel monetization policies, it's linked to a Google acct that has an issue."

Since we never got the second part of that message, we have no idea what caused the channel's ban, and why it kicked in shortly after Wiles shared a VOD of her Baldur's Gate 3 stream. In any case, her Twitch channel is still up, if you're hoping to tune in to her next Baldur's Gate session.

Absolutely bizarre. What kind of Google Account issue can get you banned from YouTube? They already killed all their other social platforms, so it can't be something she did on Groups or Chat. (Did these get merged into + and Hangouts before being killed off? They've had so many of these.) Maybe she did a chargeback on a Play Store purchase or something? I feel like that would be pretty obvious to her, though, and she seems as confused as everyone else.

Groups are still alive, sort of. The only time I run into one of them nowadays is when it's being used for technical support by app makers.

Well clearly Google knows. Or is at least pretending to know.

Google likes to hide behind their AI black box as an excuse at times like these, so they may actually not know why

Roko's basilisk is real and has full control of Google.

Roko's Modern Strife

YouTube is super weird. I had uploaded some audio cassette tapes that I had found at my grandma's. She lived near a nuclear power plant and when the facility was built in the 80s they had handed out audio casettes to people in the area with information about what to do in emergencies, who to call for information, etc. I digitized the cassettes and put them on YouTube and they were taken down within a day. No idea why, never given a reason. It's public information as it was handed out by power plant and city government.

No one knows why... "Says sphincter 25 times" lol that's pretty hilarious

[–] obinice 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sphincter isn't a bad word though, it's just what we call the many various tube closing methods we have throughout the body.

Besides, if you can be banned for saying a swearword on YouTube, I have a few creators that need to be reported in that case....

[–] Darkncoldbard 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wasn't saying it was a bad word I was saying it's hilarious you can be banned for saying sphincter 25 times

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So 23 sphincters is the safe zone, got it!

[–] Darkncoldbard 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was gonna say 24 but yea to be safe we'll call it 23

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah 23 gives you that safety net with ability to still push the boundaries in a hopefully safe but risky way.

Maybe copyright infringement on her voice?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

I have actually received a copyright infringement notice for posting a video I made for my own music, so this is actually possible. Not likely, but possible.
