WAR with Google and YouTube

Yesterday, I was hosting my first live webinar for people in the Internet Marketing industry. It was a fun experience and the attendees got some value out of it. You can watch the Replay of my Tumblr Secrets Revealed Webinar here:
At one point, I was pasting an URL of one of my YouTube videos in my Google Chrome’s address bar. Instead of showing the video, I got a code 500 back. An internal server error that usually shows that the server is having a problem. However, it was not the YouTube website that had a problem. I tried to get on YouTube in the late evening hours again.
And then it hit me… This is what I had to post on Facebook right after I saw what I saw…
Today is a dark day. Google terminated with no warning my 6 year old YouTube account with hundreds of videos and subscribers that accumulated almost a Million views.
It is only a display that those corporation have not their customer’s interests in mind. You think I should not complain, because it’s free? If you truly think that, then you’re a dumbass… Why is it, that Google, Facebook and other companies can exist? They’re tracking you, they are selling your information and you practically lose your rights…
Popular were the 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu videos, the videos of Jiu Jitsu tournaments I was hosting, some belt ceremonies, interviews with the likes of Eddie Bravo when I first went to the States.
Those were the majority of videos.
I also decided, later on… that I want to allow some ads on my videos.
On top of that Yahoo/Google still ows me around fifty bucks from just YouTube ads… But it seems to be a trend with companies, that they just cancel your account, when they have to pay you…
And usually their excuse is that with the 1% of all the videos you are uploading, refer to a legit Internet Marketing Business, that those criminals refer to as “pyramid schemes”, when this “scam” (what they also like to call it), is the only business, that pays out EVERY SINGLE fucking time!
This hat is turning black.
Google, FUCK YOU – this is war and I’m gonna win it in your backyard!
What in the hell were they thinking???
I know Empower Network has a lot of haters, because people who are not good sellers / marketers / pitchers – whatever you want to call those slimy salespersons – people like me, who don’t want to have to worry about selling something – make actually money on the Internet. With Empower Network we have a lot of people being successful (95% of the people at the last event in Austin make already money with it – compared to the overall 95% of all people in the industry who FAIL!)… And that’s great!
Because we people understand that there’s abundance… We don’t need to try and hurt our ”competition” by trying to bring them down. It’s bad for us as well… Or does it make you happy?!

Where it reads “Dieses Video ist nicht mehr verfügbar…” should have been a video testimonial from business partner and Internet Marketing Guru Chris Kostopoulos from NYC.
The loose translation reads: “We are apologizing for being fuckheads. We forgot what the internet is all about. Your YouTube video might have been flagged or not being flagged at all, maybe we didn’t like the link you are sharing in the description of the video. And instead of just disabling the video temporary and give you a reason why we took this action, we just decided to kill your YouTube account and all non-related content. Of course we still have all your data available and we will make good use of it – but you can’t… We are aware that you haven’t tried to rip off people (like we do), however we are Big G and you are just one internet user. We think we know everything about you, because we’ve been tracking your internet activity for a long time. So don’t make it any difficult for us, as we are the world government. *evil laughter*”
Google… YouTube… It’s on!!!
