I'm a crypto YouTuber, and content writer, but before you start throwing rocks at me and call me a shill, I teach people how to build and test cryptocurrency trading algorithms as a means of automating their trading strategies, or simply to experiment with algo trading in a safe, testing environment.Some of you may have seen my previous posts, where I open source entire projects and share them with the community if I feel like they could add value to you guys. I like doing it and it makes feel good that you guys appreciate the content so much.Because everything that I build is open source and available for everyone, the only way that I've been able to monetise my passion is by becoming a YouTube partner, and monetising my videos.I don't make a huge amount, but enough to keep me hopeful that one day, it will grow and actually make a difference.I've recently received an e-mail from Google telling me that my Adsense account has been cancelled. For those that don't know, without an adsense account, you can't get paid by YouTube.They haven't sent a warning, started in investigation, or asked me anything prior to that.This is literally all the information that they have given me:https://ift.tt/3GxAb3B have appealed this decision, and got back a dry response, saying that my adsense account will not be re-instated.I know I'm not the first, and sadly won't be the last crypto YouTuber to be cancelled by google without any prior explanation.I've spent hours reading their terms and conditions, and it doesn't seem that Google was ever in the right with this, making this a breach of contract.I have made this video to explain the whole thing in more detail, and for you to see what it feels like to get the proverbial stick of a monolithic giant that operates based on algorithms, with no human connection: https://youtu.be/VRJXvJnUWV8I was always for the idea of a decentralised internet and social media, but I never realised before how much we need it, and how valuable freedom and justice truly are as given by the blockchain and decentralisation.I hope that my experience has given you the extra fuel you needed to want to search for alternative decentralised solutions in favour of the established tech giants who don't care about anything but their own obscene profits.EDIT:For those wanting to see proof of demonetisation and that there is no invalid traffic coming into my youtube channel:https://ift.tt/3nuwbcG here are the analytics for the period that my monetisation started, showing no artificial or fraudulent traffic:https://ift.tt/3rjR4Z3 here are more analytics explaining this traffic:https://ift.tt/3GBf5kA
