banned from yt

So my cousin was being nosey and asked what I was doing. I told him I was blogging about my coffee, and to that he responded "How about you blog about getting banned from YouTube" (or whatever he said I don't remember; take my quotes with a grain of salt.) anyways, I thought that was a brilliant idea so here we are.

Around this time, maybe 2 years ago (my freshman year of high school was ending), I got banned from YouTube. YouTube claims I posted nudity and sexual content but that is simply not true at all. I know this because I was banned immediately after getting my new ringtone; the one I got by copying and pasting a YouTube link into a file downloader. I know, stupid of me to do that while signed in, but I wasn't thinking okay. I really didn't think it would be that big of a deal!

After I installed my new ringtone, I went back to watch something on YouTube. I don't remember what, it really doesn't matter. All I know is that YouTube was NOT working so I did what any smart person would do after opening and closing the app one hundred times, rebooting my phone, checking for updates, deleting and reinstalling the apps, and I factory reset my phone :D yaayy!

When that didn't work, I knew I was cooked. not only did I learn I was banned from YouTube, but I also NO LONGER HAD THE RINGTONE!

Luckily, I can still watch YouTube videos as a guest but I often reeaaalllyyy miss all the other features that came with having an account like subscribing to channels, making playlists, liking videos, and CONTINUING WHERE I LEFT OFF FROM ANOTHER DEVICE </3

This especially sucks because I like to make videos and no longer have a simple mainstream platform to post them to. :(

that's okay tho because it's motivating me to start building a brand or whatever and practice web building cus i can't ban myself >:3

even if it's low-key stressful for me and a new weight on my chest atm but it'll go away eventually :D

before anyone says to just make a new account, I did. Sometime between New Years and now, I was updating my Google information and let YouTube put two and two together. That account immediately got banned for convection :)
