Summary

Your efforts have resulted in YouTube restoring my channel and the video about the Hebrew Roots Movement that was taken down has been reinstated as well. Here it is - https://youtu.be/QR7xTYhXEbo I don't even know how many of you tweeted, emailed, snail-mailed or faxed information to YouTube but I know it was a lot. Thank you so much, you made the difference here because I know that my own appeals didn't do anything. :) I'm grateful to YouTube employees who found out about this and went to bat for me. YT is a fantastic place to do ministry and I hope to continue doing it here for a long time. Here is the link if you want to support what I'm doing here online. Do not feel any obligation to give, I want my content to be as free as possible. https://give.cornerstone.cc/biblethinker

0:00.0	I'm Pastor Mike Winger and this is Bible Thinker the program dedicated to thinking
0:05.8	biblically about everything. I have really good news so the first good news for those who've been following what's been going on with this channel.
0:16.0	I'm live streaming right now like this is not pre-recorded. I'm actually doing this live.
0:21.0	My internet tells me that the stream connection is not super good. this
0:23.0	the stream connection is not super good so I'm sorry for that I'm doing my best here.
0:27.0	Let me update you on exactly what's going on if you are not up to date.
0:31.0	Here's what happened. I put up a video on YouTube dealing with a group called
0:35.8	the Hebrew Roots Movement and I dealt with it like as an in-house discussion between Christians
0:41.1	dealing with a question of theology, right?
0:44.0	There was nothing in it that was problematic as far as YouTube's concerned, generally speaking,
0:48.0	but that YouTube video was taken down off of YouTube.
0:52.0	It was deleted. and then my channel received a content strike but I wasn't
0:57.3	sure why. The answer was very confusing as to why. So I appealed the strike and said hey hey, I don't think that this is correct.
1:05.2	And YouTube upheld the strike. Now in the course of this process,
1:09.6	it doesn't just take people flagging your video. it's supposed to take two different human
1:14.6	beings who review the content who are trained and trusted by YouTube who say you know
1:19.0	no Mike's video definitely violated guidelines but not knowing what guideline I violated, I was unsure as to
1:25.1	like how to keep this from happening again. Unfortunately though, feeling that
1:30.8	I had been wronged not like I'm hurt or offended in that sense, but that this was not correct to take my video down and limit my streaming abilities for three months and potentially lead to the deletion of my channel if this happens two more times
1:43.9	because three strikes and you're out. I try to appeal to YouTube and found no recourse
1:48.8	no way to contact them, no way to touch base with them and and the emails I did send, and the tweets I sent
1:55.1	were left unanswered, they were just ignored.
