or
My YouTube channel has been abducted – please help me find it
After beginning an upload for a 17 minute video capturing the inner workings of Animal House of Chicago, a fine veterinary hospital we spent quality time at yesterday, I moved into the kitchen for breakfast.
Experimenting with our new keto diet I had a lox (smoked salmon) and onion omelet, with an avocado on the side to make up for the zero-tolerance bread thing.
Editor’s note: I never thought that I’d have bagel fantasies (food porn?) and dreams of 2 am excursions to the bagel factory on Touhy ave at the Edens Expressway in Skokie IL.
Watching the crew remove them from the oven and get a dozen or more (with freezer bags) handed to you HOT.
You’d buy a pound or 2 of flavored cream cheese and then using the cutting and schmearing knives from the glovebox, well, the hope was you had bought enough for the family. Endnote
Returning to my 40-inch monitor having mentally mapped out a day of building blog posts with video galleries, I noticed an error on YouTube indicating the Animal House the video cannot be finished uploading “there’s a problem with your YouTube account”
It was suspended.
I saw an email

For those of you who don’t know me/us, we are We sell supplies for pet birds. Our YouTube channel is 12 years old – yep established 2006 It has 755,000 views We’ve earned 50,000 and 100,000 views on some solo videos Somehow, my method of feeding 5 FIDS on Fridays or mentioning that Ralph, a chinchilla boarded at Animal House would bite your finger off if presented with the opportunity – triggered the wrath of Susan Wojcicki, YouTube’s current CEO. I don’t know what that falls under. “Harmful or dangerous content”? It was just a verbal warning. “Could nudity or sexual content” refer to our talks about bird sexing, which is related to determining if a bird is a boy or girl because 80% of parrots are monomorphic thus you can’t tell the sex by their color. I’m not sure about “Hateful content”. Here are two statements that can be construed as “Hateful content: My bird “hates” fresh vegetables” My parrot “hates” going to the veterinarian. Would those “hateful” statements get us banned? “Hey YouTube was this the doing of bots or humans”, it’s so hard to tell these days with you guys who have all the money and hold all the (video) cards. Is this “Violent or graphic content” I recently posted a video on my Facebook timeline with an opportunistic eagle grabbing food out of a small fox’s jaws. It was pretty graphic but was “it crossing the line”? File under What on God’s green Earth does “Harassment and cyberbullying, Threats, Spam, misleading metadata, and scams, Copyright, Privacy, Impersonation, Child endangerment, have to do with the care and feeding of pet birds? Hello, Thank you for your account suspension appeal. We have decided to keep your account suspended based on our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.

Please refer to our Help Center for more information. Sincerely, The YouTube Team What’s a “YouTube channel recovery strategy”? So far it’s:
Here’s a sample of our latest heinous video now self-hosted (big dedicated server) and backup to https://windycityparrot.smugmug.com/ It’s like when Facebook banned the New Zealand Office of Tourism for their theme “Come see our boobies” referring of course to the native blue-footed boobie bird. That is what you get when child billionaires are in charge. Growing up in Chicago’s Albany Park as a very young fourth-generation Jew, I was raised with THE stories. You know, where you work hard for a dozen years to produce something of value, and some authority takes it away with only a vague explanation. Using the names and terms of THOSE ancestral stories could actually be interpreted as “Hateful content.” I’m just not going to piss anybody else off – today. Plus I hate fixing stupid on Sundays.
