Kelly \u2018The Act Man\u2019 Van Achte previously went to YouTube with evidence against creator Quantum TV, purporting that the latter has broken YouTube\u2019s community guidelines. This back and forth between the two initially started due to a copyright strike invoked by Quantum TV for an Elden Ring video, with The Act Man seeking to claim that the footage he had used was within fair use guidelines. Following a series of satirical tweets levied at YouTube, the YouTuber was soon demonetized. Two months after Dexerto\u2019s interview with the YouTuber, he is still unsure as to why YouTube took away his demonetization privileges. The Act Man \u201cdoesn\u2019t understand\u201d why YouTube demonetized his channel In a YouTube video captioned \u2018So My Channel Was Demonetized\u2026 Here is The Aftermath\u2019, The Act Man explained to his audience what had happened behind the scenes to his channel. Despite gaining the ability to monetize his videos again on July 13, 2022 \u2013 the YouTube still has received any semblance of clarification from YouTube. He explained that \u201cgiven my history of not being a problem, again its all the more puzzling why the most extreme action was been taken against me.\u201d (The Act Man discusses the topic at 9:30) \u201cI mean besides just outright deleting my channel, demonetizing it is the second most extreme action you could have taken, I still don\u2019t understand it.\u201d Moreover, the YouTube claimed \u201cwhat scares is me I still don\u2019t know the exact reason why my channel was demonetized or why \u2018The Dark Age of YouTube\u2019 video was taken down and given a strike.\u201d \u201cI still have no idea, I can only speculate,\u201d continued The Act Man. \u2018The Dark Age of YouTube\u2019 is a video that saw the YouTuber, alongside other creators, speak against Quantum TV\u2019s behaviour. It still remains removed from The Act Man\u2019s channel, though others have sought out to reupload it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Act Man still baffled by YouTube\u2019s \u201cextreme action\u201d over channel strike YouTube: The Act ManYouTuber The Act Man is still waiting for YouTube to reveal why his channel was demonetized, following a dispute with fellow creator Quantum TV.
