Shadowban Detour

fall precauxions

thank YOU, benn jordan!! I'm not gonna be pessimistic or optimistic or anything... I'll just say that I hope that youtube, or google, or satan, or whoever decides to be more clear & upfront about whatever it is that take issue with, & doesn't continue just cutting people off like they did with you &, surely, countless other youtubers. again, benn... thanks bunches, man. we really love what you do. even my wife loves your stuff. she gets distracted when I'm watching your vids 'cause it always catches her interest. I think her words were, "I can't ignore that guy." so her hat's off to you as well. bravo!!

Benn, even if I hadn't already saved more on discounts than I've paid you, the cost of the Patreon would be worth it for the content you post alone. I hope whatever's happened with the algorithm gets resolved because I think the more people see your videos the better it is for everyone, I'm just glad to be able to help in any small way. FWIW, I think 1 is the most likely, were you to get shadowbanned over the content of any video itself it would have been much more likely with your LRAD video than your NFT video, I can only imagine there's plenty of channels out there devoted to talking about crypto and much more in need of regulating than you.

Also: did you try the iVCS 3 iPad App? Didn't try it, but if you have 15 Bucks to spare, maybe you can take 15 minutes to look at it and take another 2 minutes of your Synthrx-Video to say it is shit or something, so I don't have to buy it. Or even better: it is "good enough for 15 bucks". That's when I'd try it ;-)

I first thought: "Shadowban" - huh! yet another synth or app maker I never heard of before :-D I don't like to hear that. My perception of your channel is constant growth with some minor dips here, where there are the cool niche themes, which I pretty much like and some outliers there, where you hit on things more people are affected by or are interested in (which I also like). So I hope the best for it. Yours is the only channel really Patreon-worthy for me atm.

Is there anything we can do to help? Let us know if so. Otherwise we can try watching every video 10x to make up for the lost viewers ;)

Imagine being Youtube and having a service that is so sought after, that you can make decisions to increase your profits and that completely ruin the users' experience, and you don't even have to bother explaining. Everyone will just get mad but keep using the service. It makes sense, since the content creators and the viewers aren't the customers. But it sure is a rough way to have to do things.

so... Syntrx review coming? :)

Damn. I guess I'll just go up a tier as a sign of support. Let's hope the channel is going to spring back fast.

Great synth pic by the way - the VCS is probably the only hardware synth I would ever buy - Crazy and beautiful - How good can it get!

Keep going Benn - As soon as you get audience figures ie eyeballs for their ads, they’ll come crawling back - I’ve never liked middle men - who only ‘disrupt’ other middle men to get to the cash, and set no value by the creatives who got them there……. Just my two cents ;-)

3rd possibility: could be a false positive in their system and so there may be no concrete reason why it happened. Even if YouTube/Google ever contacted you, I would find it unlikely any employee could even explain to you why it happened if it was a false positive.

I think #1 is most likely. At least I've seen a bunch of other youtubers do an NFT video with plenty of views. Then again, looking at your number of views over the past 1-2 years things are quite all over the place (and that's even cumulative) so it may even just depend on stupid things like video title, meta-data, thumbnail shot, etc
