Congrats on getting out of the 'system' of youtube AND off grid living. I'm also living off grid in an Earthship that i managed to build and can testify how great it feels to have the simple joy of being truly self sufficient without the pressures of bills.
In my opinion this is REAL security both for you and your Children.
Your experiences with youtube demonstrates how centralized control, even with well meaning companies, just doesnt work well. The whole decentralized approach turns everything on its head.. just like off grid living!
