@popey probably a GPL violation. Talking about Linux and all that.

[popey@mastodon.social]

Welp, fuck you, YouTube, it seems.

[bugbear@indieverse.social]

@popey Did they explain what was the reason at least? I know that wouldn't change anything, but like the fact they were so vague in the original notice feels like BS.

@popey I was reading this when I looked this up - https://www.reddit.com/r/PartneredYoutube/comments/1vmzb4u/my_monetized_youtube_channel_was_terminated_for/

@popey This really sucks. I'm sorry this happened to the podcast channel

@popey ... led me to check our podcast email inbox. Fortunately not a takedown, but YT is having issues with our RSS feed apparently.

Anyway. This is ridiculous! How on earth could they decide that. Very annoying and upsetting.

@ted @popey I promise you that YouTube is built on a mountain of modified GPL software.
