Oh, Priscilla.. the YouTube betrayal is just terrible. When Google bought them out and made it so that you had to use a google account to even own a channel I had to get a gmail address, and when I did that, somehow my channel got entirely deleted, all my videos, all the comments from so many years.. it broke my heart. I can't get some of those videos back, ever, because they were erased from my computer when it crashed. Yes, and now I'm told that I can't monetize videos until I get back up to 1,000 subscribers I think, or a certain number of views. Not sure.. I am SO happy to find steemit! And this article you have written is AMAZING and SO helpful! I have some posts I wish so badly that I could delete. In the beginning I didn't realize that you can never delete anything. I have to be very careful what I say when Im in a depressed mood, because I tend to forget to filter my thoughts, and then before I know it, I've made myself sound like an idiot or a psychopath, and now it will not be erasable. Dangerous territory! LOL.
I think this is the PERFECT platform for you. You're going to continue to do so well! Thank you for creating this user guide, and it explained about the bandwidth, too.. as I've been having a real problem with that. Today especially! I was locked out for most of the morning. I feel like I can't comment and upvote posts I like very often without running out of bandwidth. That is the one big thing I don't like about things here.
Anyway, THANK YOU! :) Lots of love! ♥♥♥♥
The "it stays forever" part scares me a bit too. On the other hand it makes people think twice and that I like. Do not worry, build from there. We all cope with struggle, it is human nature. You know how to convey sadness into beautiful melancholic poems and songs. Use your gift. I am glad you found it useful ❤️ if only for that it is worth to have written it. But remember these are no guidelines but my experience, I am a newbie still, still hope they find it useful. ❤️🌱
By the way that was really bad youtube deleted your channel and you had to rebuilt. In my case I do have the plays and I do have the subscribers but I didn't reach the streamed time requested, my videos are usually short, so that would be one million plays or so :/ the last year, and I had only resumed activity last September, so having been done so "out of the blue" I didn't have to react. I won't abandon the external networks abut I ended up here and I like the way networking is done, like in the old times, remember? wishing you all the best, glad to reconnect with you here.
