***Warhammer lore channel update***
Three weeks ago, I was incredibly proud to play a part in the launch of a new Warhammer lore channel on YT with
@40kIndomitus and
@LSymphonica, two of France's foremost 40k creators.
The reception to the channel in its first week was fantastic, with almost 100k views for our first video The Siege of Helsreach and almost 10k subscribers.
Last week, the channel was removed by Youtube without explanation.
In the email that notified us of this news, the only justification was 'violating circumvention polices' which usually relates to previous strikes against a channel. The channel had received no strikes.
As a voice actor who has worked on multiple projects licensed by Games Workshop as well as directly with the company itself, my first priority is navigating fair use of material with the utmost respect to copyright law. This is why I do not monetise any 40k content on my own channels.
To clarify with the lore channel in question, Invictus 40k: There was no copyright infringement. There was no generative AI content used.
Our only conclusion at this point is that the channel has been erroneously flagged by AI bots on the platform. Right now, we're appealing the decision through the automated process. But we are aware that several lore channels have had issues on YT recently, and if anyone has a contact at Youtube themselves or informed advice about what to do, it would be appreciated.
I will update with any further developments as soon as I have it!
