The Musical Madness of the Joker
🕑 Added 2020-02-01 01:15:23 +0000 UTCAs some of you may already be aware, I'm finding myself in a terrible position this month.
For whatever reason, I simply cannot get a version of this video through the copyright bot without it flagging some clip at some point in the video .
Every time I upload a slightly altered version of the video the bot flags a different piece of the video.
Normally I would have just pushed through by now and made this video public, but as any of you non-Americans out there will know, YouTube just blocked my Sweeney Todd video in the USA (I didn't get a notification about it, one day the video was just gone).
Losing a video like that causes the channel to take a huge hit in terms of the algorithm, the loss of views is pretty substantial, and that resonates throughout the channel.
So with that newfound fear of outright losing a video, at the very least I want to see that the copyright bot doesn't auto-flag this video before it even has a chance to be manually claimed.
Having said all of that, I have literally been up all night uploading slightly different versions of this video. I am now on my 17th iteration of this file and I'm approaching double-digit uploads of unlisted versions of this video.
But no matter how hard I try I can't get this video through the bot and I'm quickly losing daylight (it doesn't help that this video got delayed because I was sick).
So here's what I've decided to do: since there are only 6 hours left in the month, and the video is, in effect, done, I've decided to have this post be the one that charges you all for January, and provide you all with multiple links to various versions of the video in case any of them get taken down.
In effect, by being a patron this month, you're all getting exclusive access to this month's video, on top of whatever early access you may have already received (talk about bang for your buck!).
This will not become the norm, this month has been unusually problematic, and I feel like this is the best way to maintain the consistent '1 payment a month' plan the channel has been maintaining for a few years now.
I have to say, if I didn't have you all to rely on, I'd be in some pretty serious crap right now. I've lost monetization on a large majority of my recent videos, and you all are 100% keeping this channel afloat. Seeing you all here is making days like this not feel like the end of the world.
I wish I could tell you how much what you all do means to me.
Thank you all for your continued support.
I literally could not do this without you.
And here are some other links to some alternate videos in case any of them get taken down or blocked in your country. If at any point any of you can't get access to this video, please do not hesitate to message me so I can get you a version of this video that works.
