I was on YouTube for almost a decade. Over half a million subscribers. They banned me because the Biden DOJ gave a press release about my company. The investigation is closed now, but I can't even get in touch with a real human about restoring my channels @YouTubeCreators

YouTube grew on the backs of stolen content in 2005. Rumble grew by providing free speech. YouTube doesn't deserve to be at the top and doesn't deserve creators business. Its time to make the switch.

@mark_k @xai I think codex and claude code help the other AIs. Let's hope it makes a difference. Using it from VScode is painful as it doesn't enable full context use.

@xai Grok 4.3 is a very second or even third class citizen compared to ChatGPT 5.4/5.5. Pretty sad. When it 4.4 coming?

@romaindewolff Wel that’s good. Maybe they can add some automatic emails to any account that lets you know when usage is a factor of 2 or more higher than normal usage.

Update: Azure just called me. They are looking into the case🤞
Romain de Wolff@romaindewolff

I almost killed my company on Friday. $90,000. One Azure bill. Gone. Let me tell you what happened because I think founders need to hear this. We built an amazing document intelligence system at Whisperit. It analyzes our customers' files: PDFs, Word docs, scanned documents, using OCR. It works beautifully and user love it. But we had a bug. A small email with a zip file. Inside the zip, a PDF. Some weird edge case that created an infinite loop in our code. The virtual machine would crash, restart, and try to reprocess the same document. Again. And again. And again. We pay more than one cent per page processed. You can imagine what happened next. I saw the graph and my stomach dropped. An exponential spike. The kind of curve you want to see on your revenue chart (!!) not your cloud bill. The forecast for next month said $400,000+. I thought: this must be a mistake. Emergency 🚨. Check everything. It wasn't a mistake. The worst part? We had a warning. Back in November we had a $25K unusual spike. We fixed it. Added upload limits. I thought we were safe. But I never set a spending cap on Azure. Never set up alerts for unusual usage. I knew I should. I just didn't do it. I went through every stage: Denial → "this can't be right" Anger → screaming at myself Shame → feeling small, really small Tears → first time in a long time I cried that evening. Not because of the money, because I imagined having to close Whisperit. My team. Everything we built. Gone because of one missing setting and my stupidity. The week had been incredible. New version shipping. Lots of new users. Sales going well. Migration going well. Growing the team responsibly. And then Friday hit like a truck. Remember my last post about mistakes? Yeah. We're still making them. Bigger ones. $90,000 is the price of a NICE car. Paid for a bug and a missing checkbox. Here's what I'm doing RIGHT NOW so this never happens again: 1. Hard spending limits on every cloud service — no exceptions 2. Alerts at 50%, 80%, 100% of expected spend 3. Circuit breakers in our processing pipeline — if a document fails 3 times, it stops 4. Weekly cloud cost review — not monthly, weekly 5. Every API endpoint gets a budget ceiling If you're a founder reading this: Go set your spending limits. Today. Right now. Before your next meeting. Before your next coffee. It takes 10 minutes and it could save your company. We move fast. That's our superpower. But speed without guardrails is a bomb with a timer. I know what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I really hope this one doesn't kill me. Still standing. Barely. Building. 🚀

@MindlessPixels4 @YouTubeCreators this guy should file a class action lawsuit on @YouTube Are you running a business or a hobby? It seems like you owe the people who basically make you the billions a lot more respectful two way communication.

Since my channel got demonetized my mental health has been getting worse. I’m really confused and don’t know what to do. I have financial responsibilities at home and now I’m not earning anything. My sleep schedule is completely disturbed and even my physical health is getting worse. In these 37 days I’ve lost around 2 kg of weight. For the past 37 days I’ve been constantly tweeting and trying to get help but all I receive are copy-paste bot replies with no clear explanation. I’m just asking for a fair human review. Please clearly tell me what exactly is wrong with my channel so I can fix it. @TeamYouTube @YouTube @nealmohan @YouTubeCreators @YouTubeIndia @YouTubeGaming When I look at my niche many bigger creators are doing similar content and are still monetized even uploading 5-10 videos a day without any issue. That’s why I’m confused about what the actual problem is in my case. One of my friends even deleted more than 100 videos and still didn’t get monetized again. If the exact problem isn’t explained how are we supposed to fix it? That’s my concern as well if you don’t clearly tell me what the issue is even after 90 days I won’t know if I’ve actually fixed the real problem or not. I might feel like I’ve done everything right but the main issue could still be unknown. Channel: @mindlesspixels?si=AnEiw1Gl9IFAvnwt" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@mindlesspixel… Please comment, share, and tag @TeamYouTube Congratulations to @bol_papa68130 @stevenyjsong @MovieTalkNOW1 @AydinPaladin and @EternalMystYT for winning your battles. And a big thank you to @GoodLionTV @Thatumbrellaguy @DisaffectedPod @bear_ing @Kneon @thevivafrei @verbalriotshow and @Nina7Infinity for supporting our community and helping creators. #inauthenticcontent #youtube #youtubedemonetization #creatorsupport #youtubecreators #contentcreator #monetization #youtubepartner #fairreview #fixyoutube #youtubepolicy #supportcreators

A message to @YouTubeCreators @TeamYouTube @nealmohan @reneritchie I'm a solo creator who runs the channel Sacred Stuff. It's a cinematic storytelling channel where I post very low-volume, heavily detailed animated stories. I have over 80,000 subscribers and have only 4 videos. I was marked for inauthentic content. The policy specifies content that is mass-produced or repetitive. None of my stories are repetitive at all, and I only post once a MONTH, so they're not mass-produced. Each video takes about 500 hours of human work. I walk through my entire process in this appeal video below Can a human please review this? Every time I talk to creator support over email, they are extremely slow and they are not watching my appeal video. I would really appreciate a response here. Please share if you can as my career is being destroyed despite being a genuine creator with real craft behind the work #youtube #inauthentic #AI

If FSD pulls in my garage, but not far enough to shut the door, is that ... Discomfort - I'm uncomfortable shutting the garage. Preference - I prefer not to hit my car with the garage door. Navigation - It didn't quite make it to the pin. Critical - My wife will kill me if the garage door hits the car. I just leave a voice saying tell @Tesla_AI how rad it is that the car pulls in my garage and ask nicely to make it pull forward until it hits the stop block 😃.
Dirty Tesla@DirtyTesLa

Thank you Tesla! The new intervention screen is much better! @Tesla_AI

Here’s my energetic take on ‘Animal Farm,’ and how it differs greatly from the book since it is not neutral and adds a second communist revolution, and blatantly say communism is the answer as the final resolution. The book it is based on was neither pro nor against capitalism, but the movie displays capitalism solely as greed, with no benefits to the providers of goods or services. How much money did Andy Serkis, a member of the a Socialists Workers party and the producer of this film spend on influencer campaigns!?!?!?

@romaindewolff What process were you kicking off infinitely that ran up that bill? You say a VM restarting but you wouldn’t have a VM per a PDF processing. Were your VMs somehow loading the same item many times and scaling out or something?

@ibelings @Raspberry_Pi why though? It’s not like this is modern DDR5 technology with 2nm. This is old manufacturing tech in high volume. Should still be cheap.

@OpenAI why is there no Report capability on answers? When an answer is excessively politically biased it should be possible to report it, or will ChatGPT forever be biased?

@EvasTeslaSPlaid Fat too late. It basically stopped when the car was in front of it. Amazing would have been to brake when it was clear the rapidly approaching red light runner wasn’t stopping a few seconds earlier.
