When My YouTube Channel Was Terminated It Changed My Life For The Better!
When my YouTube account was terminated for no reason i was absolutely heartbroken. I had my YouTube channel for seven years, however from September last year was when i really put my heart and soul into it. I had gained over 5000 subscribers in such a short period and over 240,000 watch-time minutes, which was hard to do as a musician as the average song only goes for 3-4 minutes.
So as you can imagine i was very upset when i got the message that my YouTube channel had been terminated. I knew i had done nothing wrong and it turns out thousands of YouTube accounts had been terminated around the same time and on the 20th of February over a million channels had been demonetized and forced out of YouTube partnership unless they met the new guidelines of having 4000 watch-time hours... Yes you read correctly not minutes but 4000 hours of watch-time on their videos within the year as well as 1000 subscribers.
I actually found out about this news while i was visiting my mum, Funny enough i was actually watching inspirational videos on YouTube of people opening their silver, gold and diamond play buttons, This is what YouTubers receive once they reach different subscriber milestones. I was just telling my mum how excited i would be when it's finally my turn receiving mine, When in that moment i received the message that my YouTube channel had been terminated, I was in tears (I can laugh about it now).
After awhile i put a post up on Facebook letting everyone know what happened when one of my friends mentioned D-tube, So i started investigating and looking more into it and i watched video's from 
So i never thought i would ever say this but in a way i am glad this happened as this is very exciting and i believe when my YouTube channel was terminated it changed my life for the better!
