  • My experience with CZcams support, and why they banned me for 7 days.
    I also since found out that it's possible to buy licensing for live streaming, but the support team wasn't allowed to tell me that either.

I ended up deleting one by one untill they finally gave my monetization back, and then ended up taking it away anyways. This whole thing has happened to thousands of us. It's absolutely terrible.

Unless they gate who can upload there's no way in hell they'd be able to check everything. If CZcams send a mail (kinda dumb... Why not post that in chat only visible to the creator and pinned to the top?) specifying what was going wrong that's fair enough.

      If Twitter has taught me anything, it's that people _do_ care. I've seen people use Twitter to organize a mass false flag campaign to get a channel vaporized over hurt feelings. They abuse CZcamss bot system to get things taken down immediately knowing it will take days (if ever) for a real person to finally take a look at it.
      If nobody truly cared, then there wouldn't be a problem to begin with. That's why the rules are vague as fuck. They want to be able to punish people without having to explain themselves. That's how dictatorships work.

    I was posting the entire Woodstock festival. Chose not to monetize it. Once it started picking up views, YT decided to monetize it themselves by sticking ads on them. This resulted in 92 strikes in under 5 minutes and a lifetime ban from even using it. No appeal because of the amount of strikes. And I lost every bit of content including self published, self wrote, self produced, self performed songs. Years of work gone. So remember.... It can always be worse.

      That sounds like a successful lawsuit in the making. They already do a bunch of things that fly in the face of copyright law, all it will take is for people to band together and hold them accountable. In your case: their decision, their mistake. CZcams does not own your content (no matter how they may try to spin it), it was not their call to make, since you chose to not monetize the video to specifically avoid that problem. I'm sure this issue has affected hundreds of other creators.

She was hitting her limit in a week then she got invited to the Ad program which was nice. Then it happened some hater mass reported some of her videos. She got banned for 90 days for her first violation. After the 90 days were up she got it back made her money in the first week and then bam violated again. Cause of one jealous person. That messes with a persons life when someone does that just because they’re a petty miserable person.
