Freedom! Family
We have noticed a massive increase of support requests regarding their channels being unlinked. (I mean a lot.) Today we would like to ensure that you understand what had happened, what would be the next step as a content creator and furthermore, if you are entitled to be reinvited to the partnership.
With YouTube's systems and regulations growing exponentially, our regulations must follow a similar pattern, this pattern was to remove all traces of spam and copyright content from the Freedom! system. When you apply and become partnered, we have built-in measures that review each channel, which also leaves us to continue spot checking in order to maintain the agreement between you, Freedom! and YouTube.
It was quite noticeable that users who had joined us was uploading content that did not suffice towards these agreements, therefore we needed to remove all people which did not follow the rules in hand, but that's not the bottom line. We created a system which would mark certain aspects of your channel which may cause concern. This was cross referenced from the extreme population of channels which were closed by YouTube's discretion.
The real problem was where our system was marking too hard than expected, where small mistakes on your channel weighted higher than it should have. We did not have enough time to fully process this system and reduce these bugs, as well as releasing it in time before YouTube takes action, but we do not want to use this as an excuse.
For anyone who was unlinked, continue reading:
If you were *wrongfully* unlinked, we apologize for any inconvenience and disruption this may have caused. Please Contact Support either at https://freedom.support.tm/hc/en-us/requests/new or via the email:
