          nothing works on twitch for long, there are ways but they keep patching them, it's a constant back and forth between the people who make the scripts and amazons IT.

          twitch isn't worth watching these days anyway, all the big streamers are washed up or sellouts, if you really want to watch them, the big ones have youtube editors who get rid of the hours of crap and condense it all into 10 - 20 minute videos that are actually watchable.

        i am not really, most people still don't know you can actually block ads on youtube, or they have some weird aversion to installing an extension for some reason, but as long as ad blocker users remain in the minority, we're fine.

        i don't like ad block plus, i think it was either them or normal adblock that were allowing bribes to show ads from some websites, but either way ublock is enough by itself, so i just stick with it as well as decentraleyes and facebook container

          • EightImmortals on 19/05/2022 - 17:01

            @Quantumcat: My point was that YT has been cancelling MANY people for the vague crime of 'breaching community guidelines'. A lot of the them don't even know what they 'wrong' as YT never explains.

            • HeadTheWall on 22/05/2022 - 09:56

              @EightImmortals: It's not that hard to guess the rules they have broken, they are using a VPN to access Youtube premium via an Indian IP which is against the guidelines
              All Alphabet need to do is find out what Indian IP's are registered to the VPN providers and any accessing via those IP's will be blocked.

              The same will soon start happening with Netflix Family and it being accessed from multiple IP addresses

              • EightImmortals on 22/05/2022 - 10:01

                @HeadTheWall: Is it so difficult for YT to let him know that was the reason?
                As I posted in another thread, what's the point of having a VPN if they can be defeated so easily?

                • HeadTheWall on 22/05/2022 - 10:10

                  @EightImmortals: Why should they invest any time into this? if someone is clued in enough to know they are gaming the system by using a VPN to bypass something that they should be paying for legally then it should be pretty obvious what the problem is when they get caught out

                  Maybe they should go and read the T&C and community guidelines, it's not our fault if they are too lazy or stupid to do that and come on here having a whinge instead

                • HeadTheWall on 22/05/2022 - 10:14

                  @EightImmortals: VPN's were originally designed to allow workers connect securely to work/corporate networks from outside their offices
                  They were not designed for this use, it was discovered that they have this added benefit for consumers

                  The VPN companies are not doing anything illegal, it's the user that is breaking the law when they use them to access geo services in other countries
                  Alphabet has every right to protect their content and enforce the rules in each country and that is what is happening here

                  • EightImmortals on 22/05/2022 - 10:28

                    @HeadTheWall: Whatever VPN's were originally used for is completely besides the point.

                    If they have the added value of protecting people from the prying eyes of corporations and bad state actors then that is fine by me. My question was however, what good are they if they are so easily bypassed or defeated.

                    Thirdly, since when did corporate 'guidelines' because legally enforceable 'law' in this regard? And what has the OP doe that was 'illegal'? Is access YT in India illegal now? Someone better tell all the Indians before they get cancelled as well. Or are simply defending the grubby practice of 'region coding' that has been going for for decades and is simply there for companies to subsidise poor markets by ripping people off in other countries?

                    • HeadTheWall on 22/05/2022 - 18:01

                      @EightImmortals: Clearly what their primary purpose is does have some relevance because you are speaking as if their sole use is to protect users from the "Prying eyes of corporations" and that they are useless at that because they can be bypassed. That is all wrong

                      1 - In relation to the OP's scenario they are not being bypassed, Alphabet/Youtube have decided to enforce the T&C that the user signed up to which is that the account is to be used by a user residing in India. If an "Indian Youtube" account is accessing Youtube via an IP that is registered to an external VPN company then they are well within their rights to ban accounts accessing it that way because they are more than likely not residing in India

                      2 - They (Google/Youtube/Alphabet/Spotify/Amazon etc) all have a right to protect their data and paid services and how they are accessed. When a user signs up to their services they are agreeing to T&C i.e a contract and that can be enforced

                      3 - Yes, using a VPN to pretend they are in India and signing up to a service that requires them to be a resident in that country is against the law

                      Look, you obviously don't want to agree with what I have to say and have some beef with companies closing down loopholes but too bad. That's life
                      Just don't cry foul when a loophole gets legally closed

                      PS - Don't presume the VPN companys statements that they don't keep any logs as protection either because that may or may not be true. There's plenty of info out there about this

      • 1st-Amendment on 24/05/2022 - 09:49

        They are in fact the epitome of capitalism.

        Your opinion is not a fact

        Capitalism is simply a free market where individuals are free to trade as they wish.
        So while Youtube as a company might operate in a capitalist environment, the users within the YT ecosystem do not. Do you think that all YT users are free to publish whatever legal content they like without interference? I've seen plenty of examples where they don't. Channels blocked, subscribers mysteriously deleted etc. So if that is the case, how is that 'the epitome of capitalism'?
        The epitome of capitalism would be a video streaming service with no rules outside of the legal requirements. Youtube is far from that.

        • afoveht on 24/05/2022 - 22:22

          Free markets are not unique to capitalism. In fact there are socialist variants of free markets too if you care to explore.

          Capitalism is about the private ownership of the means of production, of which Youtube is an exemplar. The epitome of capitalism is the owner of something doing whatever they want with that something with no influence from others. Google owns youtube, they get to decide what to do with it. Google owes you nothing except that which you both agree to together in contract.

          Your namesake protects you from interference from the government. It does not allow you interference in other people's or corporation's matters.

            @afoveht:

            In fact there are socialist variants of free markets too if you care to explore.

            Too funny. By definition socialism means social ownership, ie by the wider group or community rather than the individual. You cannot have a true free market if it requires permission from others to operate.

            The epitome of capitalism is the owner of something doing whatever they want with that something with no influence from others. Google owns youtube, they get to decide what to do with it.

            Yeah I already covered that part. Now show us how the users of YT have the same freedom under this 'epitome of capitalism' when they are heavily regulated by arbitrary enforcement of randomly changing ToS?

            The relationship between YT and its users is a lot closer to medieval fiefdom where lords have unilateral control over their subject.
            Your understanding of socialism and capitalism does not match reality.

            Your namesake protects you from…

              They are not regulated - they are free to engage with google or not. Google owns youtube so they ultimately decide on the rules of engagement. If you don't want to engage with their product that's your free choice - no-one is "enforcing" you to stay. It's like the bread shop increasing the price of a loaf of bread - you can stop buying from them whenever you want, go find an alternative, bake your own bread, start your own shop, whatever. If google feel the market forces of people leaving because they are disgruntled then they may adapt - their choice.

              You cannot have a true free market if it requires permission from others to operate.

              Start here:

              then explore further as much as you want to be informed.

    Assuming that you didn't post anything too spicy as a comment (which, given the state of Youtube comments on any given day, would have to be pretty heinous I'd imagine), chances are your Youtube account was hacked in some way and scammers commandeered it to post dodgy videos/shill cryptoscams/etc.

      Sounds like a scammer got into it somehow and took your account for a joyride.

      @FLICKIT has a link to a google support thread above upthread about a guy that had a similar issue to yours where he got the appeal rejected too and had to have the (profanity) soyjacks upstanding members of Google look into it personally. The guy eventually got his account reinstated though, so that might be something to pursue perhaps?

    Everyone should learn from Apple performers when it's come to support their product I mean man no one can beat apple hey

      Pointing fingers because you didn't lock down your account enough…?

    So this has nothing to do with your YouTube premium subscription but is related to your YouTube account itself

    Maybe update the op so people don't freak out
