I worked for many years (hundreds of hours) locating, remastering and uploading content for a fan-based YouTube channel named 'R.E.M. Archive'. I did 99% of the work and was happy to do this for the huge fan base. I believe the channel existed for about 6 years or so.

I had to use the Wayback Machine in order to find an example screenshot of a video description.

A few weeks ago, I checked the email address associated with the channel and found this email from YouTube.

I followed a link, provided in that email, to fill out an appeal form. I, simply, stated that I'd be willing to make any/all adjustments to make the channel compliant with their policy.

And this was the response I received.

I'm not even mad. I will not fight them. This is utter horse shit.

I am the founder of a community that, I believe, is unique on the Internet. Probably, because it is a niche subject area within the academic field of humanities.

It is a forum where the general public may pose questions to a panel (roughly 200) of academic biblical scholars from around the world.

Recently, we have been developing AskBibleScholars.com in order to reach a broader audience (off-Reddit and into the wider Internet).

We do not have much knowledge nor experience in marketing web sites.

If you have any guidance, then we would be very appreciative.
