May 17, 2026 Update: No Word On Anything, UnderSparked Is Suing YouTube, And I’ve Been Taking A Break

It's May 17, 2026. And honestly? I almost didn't write this post. Because this month, the month of May, I just have not been feeling like posting on any of my blogs. Not this one. Not my music blog. Not any of them. I've been busy. I've been burnt out. I've been needing a break from all of this. And I've been taking that break, or at least trying to. Because this entire situation with YouTube and Google has stressed me out in ways I didn't fully anticipate when this all started back in early […]

Everything That’s Happened, And Why I’m Still Fighting: A Full Update Including My Latest YouTube Appeal

If you follow my main blog, you know I've been writing about this situation for months now. But I want to bring everything together in one place for my main audience, for people who might be discovering this for the first time, and for anyone who needs the full picture of what Google and YouTube have been doing to me as a Hispanic creator since early 2026. And I have a new update to share at the end that I'm cautiously hopeful about. Cautiously. Very cautiously. Because at this point, hope is […]

YouTube’s AI Is Destroying Creators: UnderSparked’s Demonetization Story Sounds Familiar

It's May 1, 2026. And I want to talk about something that happened just a few days ago that caught my attention because it hit close to home. A YouTube channel called UnderSparked posted a video about how YouTube demonetized them, how YouTube's automated systems flagged their content as not having value, and how this could seriously impact them financially. You can watch their video here: https://youtu.be/OB_5dzU0W_w?si=t7FNm8mRw6CdD2iK Before I get into UnderSparked's situation and why it […]

I think I hit my social limit today.

Between a bunch of phone calls and DMs and getting sunsick this past weekend, including yet another phone call to get my benefits sorted because my representative has been AWOL for over a month now, I sort of went into turtly hermit mode and watched Smosh for most of the afternoon. It was nice.

YouTube’s Appeal Decision Is In: My Inactive Manager Channel Stays Banned—And It’s Complete Bullshit

It's been less than five hours since I woke up to discover my YouTube channels had been terminated overnight, and I've already received YouTube's appeal decision. Spoiler alert: it's not good news. In fact, it's exactly the kind of generic, nonsensical response that proves YouTube's moderation system is running on autopilot with zero human oversight. Let me walk you through what happened today, because the timeline alone shows how broken this entire process is. The Timeline of This […]
