Saturday Night Fever

What an interesting week! Having avidly watched a YouTube video last Saturday, stating that a link-in bio called Koji was the latest must have thing (it’s like a landing page where all your social media, website etc is found in one place) I quickly put one together and then went about replacing all my website links with this new Koji one. 

Monday Night Crisis

I think it was last Monday when I got my first violation message from YouTube. It’s a bit unnerving if you’ve never had one. So, having spent the next day racking my brains I realised that it was probably the website name swap. I swapped them back.

The following day I was told my video was back on line! I checked and found this was so, however another of my videos now had a violation attached.

Tuesday Mayhem

Tuesday night around 11 o’clock, , I got a note from Facebook saying my Facebook account had been suspended! I tried to sleep but woke up around 3 am deciding that I had to look into it. A quick check on Google showed (I think) that the email sent was a very elaborate scam. Fortunately I didn't reply to it so I assume all is OK.

Wednesday - Instaphobia

Wednesday - I got a note from Instagram ... site suspended! Panicking, I replied to this one, saying I hadn’t a clue what I had done. I sent the email, and as I have yet to hear back, I wondered if this was a follow up to the Facebook scam?

Monday - Musical Chairs

Yesterday, (Monday morning) got an email from YouTube: Congrats! Your video is now clear to go.

Monday afternoon, another email from YouTube: you are now violating copyright as the music attached to your video (mine!) YouTube say it belongs to CDBaby. CDBaby is the company that is going to distribute my song: ‘This is What the Fuss is All About.’ 

Tuesday - I Should be Dancing, but I'm Not

Today (Tuesday) YouTube agree that it is my music. I check my YouTube videos but the earlier violation is still there. I’ve no idea what it is. 

(Oh, almost forgot, TikTok have stopped one of my videos!) 

Right! That's it! I'm sacking my Social Media Manager! OK, I don't have one ... that would be me then.

I feel oppressed.

Anyway here up my updated stats, TikTok is still galloping away!

( 12th August) UPDATE! YouTube have reinstated me so it's all go there! However Instagram say I cannot appeal, I'm banned from advertising for good! Funny thing is, I don't think I wanted to advertise with them in the first place.
