YouTube took down my channel monetization without warning!
here's a little story about how I broke past the robot barricade and got in touch with a human that works at YouTube! Also, some new music announcements and a new mix on the way~

    I've been an "off-and-on" listener for a while, and only recently subscribed after introducing my girlfriend to the channel. Glad to hear that you're getting paid, the music is awesome! It is actually refreshing to see a face too. I tend to listen to a multitude of music channels that have no faces, and it's weird not having a person to thank for the jams, so... THANK YOU!👏👍
  • @DJMilez
    Youtube can be harsh without warning whatsoever. Its pretty infuriating BUT I'm glad everything all worked out for you brother
  • @GlitchxCity
    When the bot does bot things, glad that you were able to get it reinstated!
  • @SkittleFist
    That's crazy! I'm so sorry you had to go through that ordeal. Glad to see you're good to go. Can't wait to hear the new mix!
  • @bm_burger
    omg I feared the worst when I saw the title. This channel is so important to me, I literally go to sleep listening to it lol
  • @hexadecimate2139
    Dude I'm so glad this channel is staying monetized! Radio Cutman is an almost daily staple in my life lol. It's what brought me to GameChops in the first place YEARS AGO, and literally changed my life. I met my fiance in the Video Game Study Lounge, which again I never would've found without the DJ Cutman channel. It holds a huge place in my heart and I'm glad everything is good now! You're the man Chris, keep bringin good vibes to the world, my friend :)
  • @davidvkimball
    I'm so sorry. This exact same thing happened to my second channel. I hope you get to the bottom of this.
  • @raptorsentry
    Glad that you got reinstated, and you kept it together amidst all the overwhelming stuff going on, looking forward to the new mix.

    "In true YouTube fashion",... That's definitely one way to put it, lol. But glad to hear things worked out for you,. Been a fan/listener to the channel (AND your music) for almost 4yrs now, and whenever the channel's gone down, for server issues, PC issues, whatever, it kinda leaves the day empty for us (My son also loves the music on here.) I remember back in the winter of 2020, your channel (DJ Cutman) was down for almost a week,... bro, that hurt, lol. Apart from Drum & Bass, I didn't have much to listen to, for getting through the days, if at all. GameChops was a good holdover til the channel was back, but my dude Grumble is HERE, and he's got those hip-hop bangers I love. Thank you for doing what you're doing with the channel. You said you do it because you love doing it, but monetization for the channel adds to keeping it going for everyone. (If only servers ran on love, huh? lol) If you're ever interested, we'd love to donate a song or 2 to the channel. Thank you again for the work you've done and keeping doing, happy things with YT were worked out. 👊 Congrats on the lil one, BTW
  • Youtube needs to not mess with artists like yourself. You are the reason Youtube has people using it. Your work is awesome. Congrats on the kiddo and love cats myself. Thanks for letting us know what happened. Best wishes going forward.
  • The crazy thing is that I was presented your video game lofi stream by my metalhead buddy, he said yo, just tune in that stuff its amazing. Out of curiosity, I just jumped on and I can say I have this favorited and since I work from home, its been keeping company to me during work hours. Youtube tends to suck so I am glad this channel was saved at the end of the day, Now that you announced this new mix, i'm beyond hypedddddddddddddddddddddddddd. This mix can not come soon enough!!!

    I miss TWiC but glad to see you're doing great, and passed this YouTube BS. Excited for the new album!
  • Oof, so sorry to hear about that but I'm glad you got it figured out! I've been listening to you since 2020 and it's no exaggeration when I tell you that you were extremely influential in my love for this genre. I fell in love with your albums and it led me to Mikel, CoffeeDate, and others who make amazing mixes like yourself. My favorite remix of all time is Back to Besaid from Volume IV. I've always dreamed of including Final Fantasy music at my wedding (like my Uncle before me, it's becoming a tradition) and I plan to add that track to our set list (with due credit, of course!). Thank you very much for the work you do! You're a staple in our home (especially because I work from home, so the live stream is very helpful). Much much love. :virtualhug:
  • @DomVelando
    I've been watching your streams, buying your albums, using my songs in my content, and telling my friends about your work for years. Thanks for the update and I'm glad you sorted it out. You're doing some really inspiring stuff
  • @GenteelCretin
    5:09 - I never would've picked up on the tonal structure, but that makes total sense. Respect.
  • @murdockberk8888
    Man I jam Cutman Radio every day at work! I'm glad to hear it's sticking around!
  • @Twila27
    Glad you're still cranking away enjoying your music production, spotlighting cool creative artwork, and balancing that with your life outside work! Really a good vibe still listening to these streams and mixes a solid few years after finding TWiC back when I was finishing my education.
  • Glad to hear the stream will still be going strong, and we can enjoy many more Turtle Times to come 🐢⏰
  • @Zukeenyx007
    It's cool that you handled this patiently, and that it was resolved without excessive drama. Happy first birthday to Cutkid \o/
