There it is. YouTube doesn't really tell you probably and just tells the MCN.
Well they're not able to communicate earlier as YouTube doesn't tell them earlier...
No offence intended of course, but that isn't really a good way of going about this. It's not unreasonable for me to expect transparency when dealing with a partner network, especially when it affects my channel and its revenue directly. I also severely question the legitimacy of the reason that they provided. YouTube is, at least in my experience, very open and transparent on its content policies, and are usually the first to notify a channel if it is breaking any of its terms or guidelines. Since 2008, I've never had a single strike against my channel. I even had a somewhat public battle against copyright trolls trying to claim a thunderstorm as their own, with countless "Never Gonna Give You Up" copyright claims on that video. This was before I joined freedom, and back when I was just a standard YouTube partner, during their original partner program, before it was made public. YouTube was very straightforward and transparent, and assisted me in dealing with these issues. I eventually just removed the video as I was getting a new bogus claim every single day, but this was of no fault to YouTube, or their support. We were both aware of the issue, and tried to resolve it in the best and easiest way possible.
Freedom, on the other hand, has had zero prior communication with me. They didn't try to work with me, or to even tell me what the actual problem was. They just unlinked my account, and gave a generic reason as to why. Their reason could be interpreted in so many different ways, it just isn't specific enough, and is of zero help to me. If freedom is genuinely aware of a pending issue with my channel, they should tell me about the issue, so I can do whatever it takes to try and resolve it in a timely manner. Instead, they just
cut the cord on me with no warning, and no information as to why.
Perhaps this is just a giant misunderstanding. Maybe there's some kind of major bug with their system causing all of these innocent accounts to be unlinked without notice. If that's the case, tell me. Bugs happen, and I'd be more than willing to resign my channel with freedom.
Otherwise, I'm seeing this as a great opportunity to take my channel elsewhere. It's not as if other networks don't exist. They do. And most of which offer the same services as freedom.
So really, I'm just waiting on a proper response to my support ticket. Depending on what is said, I may rejoin Freedom. Or if there is a legitimate issue, I'll do what I can to resolve it. But either way, I need to know the cause for this.
If anyone from support is reading this, my ticket number is 255653. Please respond as soon as possible, and help clear things up.
