Current status for the new video (Patreon)
Content
Over the last couple weeks we've been working on our latest video as usual, it was to be about the concept of bands in music and how this strange way of attributing works by artists unto an external moniker can result in some philosophically odd situations. As things stand, it was a perfectly normal and harmless video talking about the medium of music in general terms. But Youtube thought otherwise.
So we were set to upload the video on Monday the 15th, however, without warning the video got straight up deleted with the only reason being "inappropriate content". What started with trying to vaguely find something that might have been caught by the radar eventually turned into a straight up guessing game. Initially some kids being seen with a band on stage for a few seconds to assuming that the mentioned band name "Christian Death" could be interpreted as some message of religious genocide, we assumed the bots were getting at us from SOME angle of backwards logic.
At the moment of writing we've re-rendered and re-uploaded this video at the very least ten times without luck. What we've come up with is that the problem is in the visual department and not related to the sound. When split in half however, no problem is detected. We're lost for words with the latest cut being more or less completely destroyed by censorship, with us trying and failing to cover up anything that could be remotely seen as inappropriate to no avail.
We are so sorry that things have come to this point as it's both infuriating for us to wrestle with as well as stealing time we could've spent on making the next video. We're also not at all pleased with you having to wait longer for material you payed for. Our biggest fear at the moment is that we'll have to upload a nigh-ruined video because of this issue, basically unmaking all of the work we spent on it.
Understandably, we can't give you any estimate for when the video will be up, or in what state or shape it will be in. Just know that we are furiously working out a way, any way, to get it to you in a shape that is acceptable to both you and us.
Hopefully this won't have to happen again.
