  • YT Transparency?

    You guys rule, but one of the things that makes you great is your honesty, transparency, and admitting when wrong. I think you owe it to your followers to say as much as you can (at least in general) why the YouTube suspension occurred, even if they means admitting error. I’ll respect you even more! Hang in there my dudes. Boiler Up!
