Virtual Detox 2; A Sequel I Did Not Want To Make

So, if you have been reading my amazing thrilling blogs you would know that I deleted a lot of my accounts and kinda started over from scratch. Well, I guess you could say this is me finishing the job.

On my 8 year old Youtube channel, I started uploading videos from a fellow named "Sam Hyde". Maybe you have heard of him? Maybe not. Well he creates this series of videos called "HydeWars" where he just talks about stuff. I find the series very interesting and I wanted to share some videos from the series on Youtube. The thing is, the series is behind a paywall. You have to pay monthly for it. I pay monthly for it because I like supporting the content and I wanted to show others the content. The videos were genuinely insightful and I wanted others to see them. I started to upload episodes and people LOVED them! People took Sam's advice to heart and some even subscribed to HydeWars themselves!
Only once did it cross my mind that I was putting myself up to risk when a man commented on my videos "take these down, sam will strike them and take your channel down!". Never did I think he was correct.

Until now.

My channel is being deleted in 7 days. I have no choice, because he copyright striked all of the videos and Youtube on its own will delete my channel in 7 days. With my channel I will delete my entire Google Account. All of it will be gone. I will let it go it's 7 days and I will delete it all. I will start from scratch.
Do I blame anybody for my channel being taken down? Not at all. I only have myself to blame. I uploaded somebody's copyrighted content and now I pay the price for it.
My only worry is that people who could of seen them won't, and will never be able to. I wasn't uploading these videos to get famous, I wasn't using them to promote myself, I genuinely just wanted to spread nice content.

Thanks for reading.

And yes, I did make a backup of my google account.

"could of seen them won't" should be "could have"

Sucks man, YouTube is garbage. Although I have to say you were sharing his content - you should have gotten a warning first.

yeah, sam is very particular about hydewars reuploads. I still don't know why sam took down MDE.

You should have seen that coming. Obviously you can't just upload copyrighted content and expect to get away with it, if you had done it on a separate channel just for the purpose it would have been better.
