If you have visited my channel in the last few days, you must have noticed that there is a huge amount of videos missing, over 100 of them. They are not unlisted or private, they are just gone.
I want to clarify what happend and why it happened:
Last week I received emails from YouTube (as my channel was part of the YPP) stating that I was using Nintendo's content without any significant or meaningful original commentary or educational value.
The content they are referring to is my old Mario Kart TV and Smash Bros clips, which no longer seem to be considered acceptable by YPP, although they are all produced and uploaded using Nintendo's official service to share them on the platform, which does not provide an option to comment on them (even if you wanted to) and they were never eligible for monetization by default.
And just to be clear, Nintendo is not the one to blame this time, they haven't sent me a single copyright claim or strike on any of my recent uploads, in the past had their own rules and curation for their creators program (of which my channel was part). This is just a self-imposed rule that YouTube has, and they even state that it also applies to explicitly authorized content (which is kinda bizarre to read).
I didn't want to start a dispute against YouTube themselves, so I decided to remove all clips mentioned above and any other video that was flagged for one reason or another in the last 10 years just to avoid any potential real risk to the channel in the future, it was tough to see years of upload gone in just a click of a button.
On the bright side, I backed everything up before removing any content from the channel. I still don't know exactly what to do with these videos, I might repost the clips as compilations on my other social medias and music as audio files somewhere else, I'll be posting a new update once I decide.
I'm really sorry for any inconvenience this action may have caused.
Last month Google changed how monetization works on YouTube, which made my earnings unfeasible, for this reason, I decided to make a huge change on my channel, I removed all ads from every single video I've ever made since 2013, now I will totally rely on donations for making videos. Here are some of the places where you can support my work:
This application allows you to display Wii U, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS games on your Discord profile. There are over 500 titles across all three platforms.
Now I have a blog, I think this is the best way for me to summarize all my content in one place: ninstars.blogspot.com/ It is still in beta, but each project has its own page on the blog.
