Game From Scratch said, 'Unfortunately, Game From Scratch can no longer post videos to YouTube because YouTube's system couldn't deal with the script kiddie attack. We were threatened by the attackers. I warned YouTube about the problem, but in the end I have to complain about the problem in a manual process and wait for the reaction on the YouTube side. ' I am reporting.
Please RT, this is broken!

Unfortunately GameFromScratch lost the ability to post to @YouTube because their systems can't defeat a script kiddy attack. Warned them after I was blackmailed, and now awaiting the long manual appeal process while locked out. Really @YTCreators ? Pic.twitter.com / j1hdE1tUYi
The problem started with a threatening message posted on the Discord server opened by Game From Scratch saying 'Game From Scratch deleted the Animate CC video' and 'Pay $ 50 (about 6300 yen) with Bitcoin'. I did. Since the video in question was a video that was deleted four times in the last two months and restored each time, Game From Scratch said, 'Maybe it's malfunctioning due to a YouTube bot.' If you appeal to, you will be able to restore the video immediately. '
While Game From Scratch was ignoring the threatening message, three videos posted on Game From Scratch's YouTube channel were notified about ' disable protection technology '. After that, the YouTube channel of Game From Scratch was unable to post videos for a week. However, since the three notifications of 'invalidation of protection technology' were canceled from the BAN of the account in about 2 hours, the channel was immediately returned to the available state.
After that, Game From Scratch seems to have been waiting for the deleted 'Animate CC video' to be revived, but a YouTube review reveals that this video violated the guidelines.
The exchange between Game From Scratch and YouTube is as follows. When the video was restored on April 4, 'When I checked the details, it became clear that the deletion of the video was incorrect. Therefore, I am restoring the content. Thank you. We will do our best to prevent this from happening in the future. '
In addition, when the video was restored on April 28, 'In-house team investigation determined that this content was accidentally deleted. Thank you for pointing out this. I'll do my best to prevent it from happening again. '
However, in the notification received on May 26, 'As a result of obtaining the latest information from the internal team and continuing to consider it, your video has been properly processed in accordance with our' Disable Protection Technology 'policy. I heard that someone is reporting, flagging, or complaining about videos targeting your channel, but our internal team has properly reviewed them. Keep in mind that even if you report a lot of your videos, the content will not be deleted or your account will not be banned unless you violate the guidelines. , If there is a problem with the report, we will deal with the account immediately. ' There is.
In response, Game From Scratch said, 'Our channel BAN has been lifted and three of the four deleted videos have been restored. However, threatening people always make similar attacks on any YouTube channel. You can do it. We reported this threat to YouTube, but frankly YouTube didn't do anything. Continue to report indiscriminately by abusing the Disable Protection Technology policy. You can drive your YouTube channel to BAN, but there's no workaround for this, and your videos aren't always restored as in this case. '
Game From Scratch also said, 'The biggest advice we can give to YouTube creators is to mirror the content to another platform. After the Animate CC video was removed a second time, we started mirroring to Odysee . With this, ourAnimate CC videos will continue to remain, 'he said, recommending uploading videos to platforms other than YouTube.
In response to a report similar to Game From Scratch's giving up, there is a voice saying, 'Attempted extortion is a crime, so reporting to the police is the best way to deal with it.'
