This is not meant to entice donations AT ALL. We are incredibly frustrated that we will not be paid for our work over the past 2 months and the donations people have given through youtube thus far will be going directly into their pocket, not to our channel or even refunded back to you. We really just wanted to let everyone know why we may not be able to be a TH-cam channel. Thank you for the view over the years. We have also had several comments telling us to upload to rumble. Those comments are being deleted but not by us. We do however already upload on rumble.
Perhaps you could livestream your existing content on twitch or just livestream gaming, but it is from the frying pan into the fire as Amazon owns that platform. I'm sure my comment will be deleted as well because personal opinions are now problematic.
I just challenged my donation which i apparently made through Apple Payments Here’s what I wrote by way of explanation for Refund request “I donated a Super Thanks to a TH-cam channel that has been demonetized. The channel creators are receiving NO payments, INCLUDING Super Thanks donations, and they are urging their followers to please not donate since they won’t even get it! I feel this a scam by definition on TH-cam’s part since they unfairly created the situation for these content creators and are not entitled to keep my donated money!”
This is part of the greed cycle of the economy and markets. Corporations are doing anything they can to keep meeting quarterly revenue goals. And to disguise from investors that they are getting ready to go into a slump, they start doing shady stuff like this to prop up earnings as long as possible. It will get worse…
Not “corpirations”. Silicon Valley. This is what Google does. There is no way to audit their so-called view count so they can charge advertisers whatever, and pay out whatever. This is happening to lots of creator because Google is losing money.
Are you sure this isn't in escrow during an investigation? That is common. Maybe they will pay you when your case is resolved. Do you have a case number from them?
That's insane. Here's something weird though. This video popped up in my recommended just now. I've never seen your page or videos before. I also haven't watched Bob Wells, but I have seen some stuff from him show up since I've watched other van life videos. The algorithm definitely pushed you to me today so hopefully that's a good thing. I subscribed.
Same I was just curiousand randomly saw this video in the recommended videos myself. No idea what this channel even was before seeing this but I hope they get it worked out! Very strange.
Seems like the logical thing to do considering all of TH-cam's "content creators" are actually SUBCONTRACTORS. Seems like TH-cam likes cheating it's subcontractors, at least that's how a court would see it.
On a positive note, we have never watched or heard of your channel before, but suddenly, today, you show up in our suggested videos list. So it appears youtube is still promoting your videos. Hopefully, everything will work out for the best, and you will still be paid what is owed. Sorry you all are going through this mess.
Same! You guys are not the only channel saying this same thing. I hate that younger people trying to live the good life are having to deal with this sort of shenanigan.
If they’re NOT getting monetized for few months now (since February’s pay,) TH-cam STILL pushing their video’s is only working in THEIR (TH-cam’s) favor. As the couple stated, the more views the video gets, the more $ TH-cam receives. So they don’t mind pushing it around, even video like this one. The ONLY ones that are getting paid is TH-cam it self; so far at least.
THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON with smaller to medium sized channels here on YT for YEARS! My channel (not this one lol) is monetized, but I run a business with clients that I visit 4-5 days per week. I’ll never rely solely on this company for income bc it’s way too unpredictable.
I really feel for these guys. This is just despicable of YT, making the the little guys suffer. How can you become "big" when there's noone to talk to about issues?! smm
Hey guys... I just found your channel (and not via Bob Wells). The algorithm has been pushing your videos pretty heavily in my feed since I subscribed. I really hope you get this figured out and don't have to quit TH-cam.
So TH-cam demonetized you and now they're pushing your channel because I've never seen your channel before even though I've search for content like this.
You're probably wasting your time right now with this current administration. Wait until Trump is back in office, if u want legitimate justice !!!!!!!!!!
The government is involved with youtube, imo, they are behind the censorship etc. I don't think contacting anyone in the government isn't going to help. With these guys who knows, maybe the government is starting to see too many people deciding to go boondocking and they would rather see them working at a job instead of making videos on youtube. So this discourages others who think of making a living on youtube by boondocking.
Sadly, TH-cam has the power but no accountability to us smaller channels. Hope you guys get this all figured out soon. Looks like we are all rooting for you. Nancy
We did not find your TH-cam channel via Bob. We stumbled on it and it is the best. Don’t give up fighting for your channel. It’s worth the fight. You’re very very good.
Hi Guys, their is another channel that have had the same thing happen on the same day as you, they are trying to contact you so that you can work together on this to get it fixed @The Natasha and Debbie show
Boosting this yo hooe you read it, I'm also here after seeing their vid & comment that they are trying to contact you. 🤞🤞 justice happens fast, realky not YT when these people trying to make a living they can't afford to wait 90's 🍀
This video came on my feed - I didn’t do a search for it - in the past couple months I’ve read about TH-cam demonetizing channels and just keeping the channel revenue and no way to directly resolve the situation. I subscribed just because this is so unfair and you two deserve so much better. Hang in there!!!
Probably 90% of my TH-cam watching is traveling, boondocking, or something like that. One of your videos popped up last week under recommendations to watch. Been watching ever since. Love you channel and your content. Keep on them till you get answers.
I hope someone from youtube with a conscience sees this video and compensate this couple for there hard work. Life is hard enough without having things like this to have happened. That's theft in my book. And the last time I heard that's ILLEGAL!! Much love to you folks, hope it gets cleared up and you get paid.
Also, they have been flagging people left and right for invalid traffic. No explanation they just tell you that you have invalid traffic and they whack you on the head. Please don’t give up without a fight.
To be fair people exploit the traffic and youtube probably got burned for lots of money , I know i did fake clicks in the beginning, made a click bot even had different account to do it and all for fun not any profit, before youtube was profit. You just hit refresh and you get an extra view, it was that simple to boost your view count in the begining. I always wondered why we had to jump through all these hoops so our favourite youtuber gets paid(llike, share, subscribe, ring the bell, and now comment!)_ im sure youtube is being greedy but it probably came from the fact they were trying to get rid of fake trafffic. And youtubers get their audience to engage in fake engagment all the time asking them to leave a comment, so they're doing it to themselves in a way. Asking someone to like and comment is fake engagement but everyone does it like its nothing, but anyway I sympathsize, had one of my vidoes flagged and removed for illegal content promoting some kind of criminal activity and it was just playing guitar, no vocals either so theres some collateral damage for sure.
I think from my experience seeing this with others it has to do with the links they post under the vid. YT channels that have links to onlyfans under the vid get demonetized & its not because its onlyfans, its because they don't allow certain links in that section, you have to post the links in a pinned comment instead & then you are good to go.
Being a fairly new subscriber (joined in mid/late March), I want you to know that I really appreciate your channel.… I subscribed because you bring some realism (the good, the bad and the ugly) about your daily lives and life on/with TH-cam. I’m a Veteran, and I try to focus on Veteran run channels, or at least those with Veterans in their families. Maybe you are defying the algorithmic odds by having a fairly clean/wholesome/real channel that people are catching onto… It goes against ‘the norm’ of what Google wants to promote. I know the demonetization stings and sucks… But look at this as a badge of honor… As you’re growing a the right way, and not succumbing to the AI overlords… Y’all are awesome… And we appreciate you and all the hard work you put into this…
I’m sad to hear that TH-cam is withholding payments from you. TH-cam should immediately pay super-chat funds. Hopefully TH-cam will see this posting of you presenting your side and realize TH-cam has made a mistake. Please keep us updated and keep fighting for the payments you are entitled! I found you via Bob and I subscribe immediately and have loved every video you have posted. Best wishes that this is resolved asap!👍🙏❤️
Sorry to hear about the issues you guys are having but also happy to see how fast your channel has grown in the past couple weeks. Keep at it...I have a feeling things will settle soon and you'll get it figured out. Hopefully everyone commenting on this video will help.
They kept you hidden until recently- I watch all the camping videos 4 years back and never saw your channel until recently and one of the best - binge watched, enjoyed,laughed just absolutely love it don’t give up but I’d cut back for now get jobs and make a comeback later but don’t give up , quit is not an option for me nor for you !!!
Fav channel but they can’t even take time to reply to their audience.. heads up their asses. If you don’t reply to your followers in the comments you look like a total douche bag imo.
I just found you two today! You popped up in my recommended channels. I have never heard of you or watched you and I must say I absolutely adore your channel! I went back and did watch some past videos even though you said not to. I’m sorry. One turned into another and another! You guys are hysterical and smart etc etc. keep up your channel you will prevail ❤❤❤❤🎉
Y'all just popped up on my feed with this video. Don't know why, but I'm glad for it. I subbed and accidentally watched another of your videos. Can't wait for you to have it all settled with TH-cam and I can watch the rest of your content. Hang in there!
Your channel has brought me lots of enjoyment...I will do my part to help support you on another platform. Good luck and keeping fighting the good fight!
The Natasha and Debbie Show have had the same problem. They've asked if you could email them. Their address is on the community tab on their channel. Thanks.
Sorry to hear about this happening. The funny thing is that your channel seems to be promoted more now as your videos seem to be popping up in my feed. I would suggest you don’t stop but maybe ask for patreon and PayPal donations until your channel gets monetized again as you don’t want to lose the momentum your channel is picking up.
We watch lots of outback camping/adventure videos, and TH-cam recently offered you up in our feed. Since then, we have watched a bunch of your videos. Really enjoy how down to earth you guys are. Hope this means your channel is turning a big corner once this TH-cam BS is sorted out. Six years is a long time, but we hope you keep it up.
I'm sorry to hear about the demonetization. I had some videos to catch up on but am respecting your request. Best of luck to you and hope to see you soon.
sorry to have this happen to you. I have a small channel as well (music related) and the same thing happened to me last year. I went through all the hoops of fire they make you go through, filed an appeal etc.... and still couldn't keep my monetization. 12 years doing youtube on and off, and the kicker is, I never did anything wrong and all the money I made went to charity. Best of luck to you both.
I ran into the same issue, I have been monetized for years, but was slowed down from doing videos because of work and then some health issues...when I got back on here I had wondered why nothing had came in for over a year, and found that I "no longer meet eligibility." I meet their eligibility years ago, then they changed the goal post on me with no notice.
TH-cam sucks. I worked on building a channel for a year and they refused to monetize me so I moved to Rumble and was monetized immediately. TH-cam thinks they are so big they will never fail but they are wrong and I can't wait to see it when it happens.
Don't give up guys, I have been following you since you met Mona. I look forward at the end of my stressful day to watch a wonderful couple that has been so kind and full of heart and adventure and just love your dog as well! Be sure to post where everyone can send funds to help you for now until you get all this straightened out with utube. GOOD LUCK XO!!!
Lol. Im sorry, this is just sort of funny. They just told you that they will not receive this. This donation goes straight to youtube and will not help this couple. This should be pissing everyone off, however its also also been very well known for the past 2 years, TH-cam can/will demonetize creators, once the money gets big enough for them to just keep everything.
Somehow this video was pushed to my home channels. I didn't do a search. I enjoyed your video and it appears you have a Northstar truck camper. I had one years ago and really miss that type of travel. Be patient and stick with what your doing!
So sorry this happened, you guys are so real and refreshing to watch, hope it all works out for you. You always have a place to stay if you come to Montana
Very sorry to hear this happened to you guys. TH-cam has been going through my account and demonetizing my old videos for the last couple weeks so it’s happening to me as well. Hope they get this fixed quick. Best of luck guys!
I’m sorry you guys are going through this. Another TH-camr (the real music observer) that I watch, went through the same thing. He got demonetized out of nowhere. He reached out to the TH-cam hidden powers and eventually got it resolved (it took about two weeks). Maybe you can reach out to him on how he got it resolved. Btw, as many other viewers are stating, your video came up first on my feed today. I’ve never heard of you guys, nor have I ever had one of your videos pop up on my feed. Good luck!
I just randomly stumbled across your channel a couple of weeks ago. I’m glad I did because I love your content! I’m sorry to hear you’re having to deal with this nightmare. Hopefully you can get it resolved quickly.
Seeing that your subscriber count is growing even after the demonetizing error - Hoping things resolve favorably. I subbed when you barely cracked 10k, which was only about a month ago. + 8K in 10 days is proof you guys deserve right and fair compensation for your contribution to YT. Praying for you!
I understand your frustration with YT. A few years ago, I had a descent channel with about 30k subs. Another person started a channel with my exact SAME channel name; just the name had a space in it. This violates YT rules but I could do NOTHING about it. Round and round with email bot and no way to get it fix cause you cant speak to anyone at YT. Finally, i gave up and just shut my channel down. They suck.
Found you via truck camper searches probably 3 months ago. Sorry you have all these problems with TH-cam. I’ve heard many channels have similar issues usually the issue is cleared up in just a day or two. Like your content hope you decide to continue. Best of luck getting through this.
This is devastating news guys. It has been so good seeing the channels recent growth. Hopefully it gets sorted out and you can stick with it. Stay strong.
Sorry this happened to you! I’m subscribing! I want to do a channel about truck camping as well, I just bought a new truck. I’m a disabled veteran and love traveling and camping as well. 🤘🏻 hope all works out!
been watching you guys for a couple months now, this really sucks and I totally understand your frustrations. I hope that you do get to work this out quickly and they correct their mistake, would hate to see you two stop what youre doing here. Hope this just becomes a small bump in the road and I eventually run into you guys when I hit the road in a couple years 🤞
YES! Completely agree! We, your viewers, need to not just comment to you, but to make our voices heard on your behalf to TH-cam. Make it known that due to the recent exposure on the popular Bob Wells CheapRVLiving channel, you got a big bump in views. That you are legitimate and they are wrong to withhold all donations and monies due you! We know you are just hanging on, hoping to get your subscriber numbers up enough to subsist on, without having to quit this lifestyle altogegether. Viewers, please act and help CandE 's channel survive. They put in so much work-and do it so well - to have it come for naught.
Way to go. Now I'm stuck watching videos from the beginning, when you met / started doing vlogs & YT . I'm stuck at 3 years back. You're still in Guam.
I am so sorry! I feel your rage. I suspect the rapid change in traffic from the Wells video did something. That is how I found your channel and I love it! Algorithms suck. I sold my house in Thailand, bought an RV, moved to the States and hit the road 4 years ago. This decision to change my life was based on a Shopify store that made $5k a month due to a 50k follower, very active, Facebook biz page. A few month in, one day I woke up to being tossed off Facebook. No warning. 95% of my income was just gone. Never found out why. A year + later I got back on with a personal account and after months of back and forth they admitted my old store was mine. Yet they still wanted more documentation. Never got my store back. The government has to step in and protect those us who pay social media sites thousands in ads to build up our pages, or do so with sweat equity, from being kicked to the curb by mindless algorithms. The lack of a human to work things out with and the lack of any information has to stop! Again, I am so sorry this happened to you.
Just recently found your channel and really enjoy your content! I really hope your problem has not been caused by the type of music you use, because I really like it.
I hope you resolve this issue. I'd hate to see you leave. I've been following you for about 3 years now and I always look forward to your videos. I found your channel when I was researching inflatable boats. Good luck!
All it takes is a few like minded individuals to make a new platform and promote the change. Something definitely needs to be done. Any platform that silences, shadow bans or puts people in internet jail for speech is a fascist and should not be allowed to operate within the United States. No corporations, businesses or political Establish should have the power to sway any form of the US Constitution for their own beliefs, thoughts, ideas or opinions. The change starts with us. So let’s all figure this out and find away. We are Americans, we can figure it out.
@@greggyjunobody watches there. Ive got several channels 3, 4, subs. In 2 years. Only comments from indians trying to get me to hire them to run my channels. Maybe travel niche is better but my channels get nothing. But ive also had dozens of youtube channels since youtube started & they never promoted any of them. This channel here was my only channel I ever had over 1000 subs back in the day. But I was verbally reaming scammers in a business I am in. So the toxicness was what lured people in. I had to erase my videos as youtube was giving me strikes & removing my videos while promoting scammers as they still & always will do. They ran me out for calling out who pays their bills.
Wow thank you for sharing. Scary experience - TH-cam has your email and gives zero notification or appeal. The bot "contact" "help" is soooo frustrating and you are caught in an endless LOOP - that is ZERO frustration and NO Customer Service. TH-cam keeping all the money is the reason. The same situation happened to us BEFORE we were monitized our channel made alot of money FOR TH-cam, once we were monetized, nothing changed on our channel EXCEPT all our stats dropped and the revenue fell off drastically (NOW - only $1 per day for 10+ hours each day). Is it a coincidence that once TH-cam had to share revenue with us our channel stats/revenue dropped?
Congratulations you are the lucky winner and have been chosen to get screwed by TH-cam. This is not a coincidence, it is no doubt by choice. You are not the first channel to have this done to you. You are one of several that have had to fight to get your monetization back. The entire TH-cam system needs a complete revamp. But then again, why change when you're on the winning end?😢
Yip. I have been singing this song for some time now. The channels that explodes in 3 or 4 months are of such bad quality. Bad. The filming, the editing etc. I call it the TH-cam algorithm lottery.
I’m following you today because this video was sent to me via TH-cam. I’ve never seen your videos before and I watch a lot of TH-cam. I hope you get this figured out.❤
I just recently stumbled across your channel (maybe within the last 1-2 weeks). I hope you both are able to figure things out so you are able to continue on with your videos. Best wishes.
You guys have become my favorite channel ! I view your kind of content but just found your channel …. Weird you never popped up before ( I have the same truck, same bike ,had a similar camper , my Boat is a small cabin runabout but it’s fiberglass , I research e-bikes ! Don’t give up
Maybe they will give you back your money when their review is done. Maybe? You two are pretty adorable. I'm sending you good thoughts and quick resolution and lots of money going your way!
Yes my husband has been creating sheet music videos for about 16 years and they demonetized him, no reason at all. They also kept the last 1,345 that he made, he never got his channel back. I'm sad you guys are dealing with this, too.
I’m only chiming in because I feel bad for creators that put out real knowledge, teaching videos. My kids follow music instruction. I have noticed the creators seem to make the least amount of money, but teach something that the viewer can actually get something out of, learning! But the guy that kicks his buddy in the nuts on video, is making huge money. I feel for our future
Thanks for sharing this information with us all! We are truly hoping you get this all straightened out so you can get back to your regularly scheduled posted video content. It just goes to show that none of us can put all of our eggs in one basket. Please consider a diverse stream of income. This is too damn stressful and your marriage doesn’t need it. Praying for you both!
I watch several nomad channels. Just came across your content and I love it. I fully understand how you feel. I have 81k followers on tiktok and there are times I'll get 400k views and then time I'll get 400. I hope you continue on. Good luck.
I subscribed and I’m writing this to help out with engagement. Never seen your channel, it just popped up in my feed. Hopefully yall get it figured out. Sorry all that is happening to yall
I turned my parents on to your channel and we have binge watched all summer and we love it. Come back your content is better than and of my vanlife travel and sailing shows I watch.
Last year, my sons channel was demonitized when he had 30K subs & close to 1M VIEWS in 90 days. He was a 'fail' channel...using the same exact formatting as a huge fail channel! They pick & choose...😢

This is outrageous! Who does TH-cam think they are, Justin Trudeau?
I just challenged my donation which i apparently made through Apple Payments

“I donated a Super Thanks to a TH-cam channel that has been demonetized.

TH-cam told you in the reams of TOS you didn’t read that the money you give them is theirs and they can do whatever they want with it.
This is part of the greed cycle of the economy and markets. Corporations are doing anything they can to keep meeting quarterly revenue goals.

Content creators should file class action against them
Seems like the logical thing to do considering all of TH-cam's "content creators" are actually SUBCONTRACTORS. Seems like TH-cam likes cheating it's subcontractors, at least that's how a court would see it.
The only thing about class action lawsuits is the attorneys make bank while the people that are struggling are given $10 checks!

This should be a warning to all TH-cam channels!
I agree with you. I still work because my channel is tiny and only pays pennies. I would be devastated if it was my full-time gig. That really sucks.
if only you knew the scams and rip offs on u tube and the utter impossibility of finding ahuman to fix it.
Yes!
THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON with smaller to medium sized channels here on YT for YEARS! My channel (not this one lol) is monetized, but I run a business with clients that I visit 4-5 days per week. I’ll never rely solely on this company for income bc it’s way too unpredictable.
I agree!
50% of crap on TH-cam is fake and 99% of tv is fake...you guys are a breath of fresh air ❤
Wrong. 100% of TV is pure garbage.
It has gotten noticeably worse, especially with shorts. It is hard to find quality content.
Don't get me going in TH-cam and the algorithm. Makes me sick.
and all Ukraine war news is fake news
I'm not fake, I'm a dumpster diver, I find fresh food and donate most of it
Shame on you TH-cam!! That's BS!🤬
I really feel for these guys. This is just despicable of YT, making the the little guys suffer. How can you become "big" when there's noone to talk to about issues?! smm
The AI algorithm feels no shame. I'm not sure people are there.
China was right to ban YT and other US social media judging by these guys and the concerns by various governments over their toxic contents.
Hey guys... I just found your channel (and not via Bob Wells). The algorithm has been pushing your videos pretty heavily in my feed since I subscribed. I really hope you get this figured out and don't have to quit TH-cam.
Same here
So TH-cam demonetized you and now they're pushing your channel because I've never seen your channel before even though I've search for content like this.
And YT is reaping the benefits of ALL their videos being pushed out.
same here
Same here. I discovered this channel by chance on my feed about 2 months ago. Very good content. Hopefully all will be resolved
Fuck youtube for not operating fairly I'm going to file a complaint with the federal trade commission
Just the beginning of the reign of our new AI masters and algorithm gods. It's only going to get worse... MUCH WORSE....😞
YT is a leftest woke own company. Total shitheads!
They employ islamists.

@CandE Adventures Please email us! We are having the EXACT problem!!!
I'm a Natasha and Debbie subscriber. Just subscribed to you guys as a show of solidarity 👊
I just mentioned you guys having same issues, hope you all get it sorted
Sadly, TH-cam has the power but no accountability to us smaller channels. Hope you guys get this all figured out soon. Looks like we are all rooting for you. Nancy
We did not find your TH-cam channel via Bob. We stumbled on it and it is the best. Don’t give up fighting for your channel. It’s worth the fight. You’re very very good.
Me too. Found it about a year ago. Quickly became my favorite YT channel. YT are evil.
It was put in your feed. You didn’t stumble over it.
1st time seeing this channel. Are these two conservatives? I know screwtube has a bias against them
Hi Guys, their is another channel that have had the same thing happen on the same day as you, they are trying to contact you so that you can work together on this to get it fixed @The Natasha and Debbie show

Sorry guys
Probably 90% of my TH-cam watching is traveling, boondocking, or something like that. One of your videos popped up last week under recommendations to watch. Been watching ever since. Love you channel and your content. Keep on them till you get answers.
Im so sorry for you guys!! One of the best creators out there, hope you can resolve it quickly! ❤️🤟
I hope someone from youtube with a conscience sees this video and compensate this couple for there hard work. Life is hard enough without having things like this to have happened. That's theft in my book. And the last time I heard that's ILLEGAL!! Much love to you folks, hope it gets cleared up and you get paid.
sadly NOBODY at screwtube has a conscience
wont ever happen, read my comments on the "three dots"
Also, they have been flagging people left and right for invalid traffic. No explanation they just tell you that you have invalid traffic and they whack you on the head. Please don’t give up without a fight.
To be fair people exploit the traffic and youtube probably got burned for lots of money , I know i did fake clicks in the beginning, made a click bot even had different account to do it and all for fun not any profit, before youtube was profit. You just hit refresh and you get an extra view, it was that simple to boost your view count in the begining. I always wondered why we had to jump through all these hoops so our favourite youtuber gets paid(llike, share, subscribe, ring the bell, and now comment!)_ im sure youtube is being greedy but it probably came from the fact they were trying to get rid of fake trafffic. And youtubers get their audience to engage in fake engagment all the time asking them to leave a comment, so they're doing it to themselves in a way. Asking someone to like and comment is fake engagement but everyone does it like its nothing, but anyway I sympathsize, had one of my vidoes flagged and removed for illegal content promoting some kind of criminal activity and it was just playing guitar, no vocals either so theres some collateral damage for sure.
I think from my experience seeing this with others it has to do with the links they post under the vid. YT channels that have links to onlyfans under the vid get demonetized & its not because its onlyfans, its because they don't allow certain links in that section, you have to post the links in a pinned comment instead & then you are good to go.
@@robertpierpont2262utube tied of utubers begging
yes I was flagged 10 days ago for invalid traffic... the same thing... no explanation
@@ZdenkaDarula That's terrible. I hope you are fighting it?
Being a fairly new subscriber (joined in mid/late March), I want you to know that I really appreciate your channel.… I subscribed because you bring some realism (the good, the bad and the ugly) about your daily lives and life on/with TH-cam. I’m a Veteran, and I try to focus on Veteran run channels, or at least those with Veterans in their families.
Maybe you are defying the algorithmic odds by having a fairly clean/wholesome/real channel that people are catching onto… It goes against ‘the norm’ of what Google wants to promote.
I know the demonetization stings and sucks… But look at this as a badge of honor… As you’re growing a the right way, and not succumbing to the AI overlords…
Y’all are awesome… And we appreciate you and all the hard work you put into this…
I’m sad to hear that TH-cam is withholding payments from you. TH-cam should immediately pay super-chat funds. Hopefully TH-cam will see this posting of you presenting your side and realize TH-cam has made a mistake. Please keep us updated and keep fighting for the payments you are entitled!
I found you via Bob and I subscribe immediately and have loved every video you have posted. Best wishes that this is resolved asap!👍🙏❤️
they wont see wont look wont fix and wont care at all. all bots and AI, no humans.
Like many others have said, your video rose to my suggested videos today kinda out of the blue. Good luck!
Sorry to hear about the issues you guys are having but also happy to see how fast your channel has grown in the past couple weeks. Keep at it...I have a feeling things will settle soon and you'll get it figured out. Hopefully everyone commenting on this video will help.
What the hell youtube! Sorry you guys are dealing with such BS.
They kept you hidden until recently- I watch all the camping videos 4 years back and never saw your channel until recently and one of the best - binge watched, enjoyed,laughed just absolutely love it don’t give up but I’d cut back for now get jobs and make a comeback later but don’t give up , quit is not an option for me nor for you !!!
Hope y'all get it fixed...stupid F'n TH-cam.
Y'all are one of my favorite channels to watch.
Fav channel but they can’t even take time to reply to their audience.. heads up their asses. If you don’t reply to your followers in the comments you look like a total douche bag imo.
I just found you two today! You popped up in my recommended channels. I have never heard of you or watched you and I must say I absolutely adore your channel! I went back and did watch some past videos even though you said not to. I’m sorry. One turned into another and another!
You guys are hysterical and smart etc etc. keep up your channel you will prevail ❤❤❤❤🎉
Guys you are almost at 20k , stay engaged and have faith that i will work out
Hope this works out for you all. What a terrible thing for two people who work hard. Keep us posted and I hope this gets resolved quickly.
Y'all just popped up on my feed with this video. Don't know why, but I'm glad for it. I subbed and accidentally watched another of your videos. Can't wait for you to have it all settled with TH-cam and I can watch the rest of your content. Hang in there!
Your channel has brought me lots of enjoyment...I will do my part to help support you on another platform. Good luck and keeping fighting the good fight!
The Natasha and Debbie Show have had the same problem. They've asked if you could email them. Their address is on the community tab on their channel. Thanks.
Sorry to hear about this happening. The funny thing is that your channel seems to be promoted more now as your videos seem to be popping up in my feed.
I would suggest you don’t stop but maybe ask for patreon and PayPal donations until your channel gets monetized again as you don’t want to lose the momentum your channel is picking up.
Not paypal, better with buy me a coffee
We watch lots of outback camping/adventure videos, and TH-cam recently offered you up in our feed. Since then, we have watched a bunch of your videos. Really enjoy how down to earth you guys are. Hope this means your channel is turning a big corner once this TH-cam BS is sorted out. Six years is a long time, but we hope you keep it up.
Wishing you both the best. Hope to see you two back in the future.
I'm sorry to hear about the demonetization. I had some videos to catch up on but am respecting your request. Best of luck to you and hope to see you soon.
sorry to have this happen to you. I have a small channel as well (music related) and the same thing happened to me last year. I went through all the hoops of fire they make you go through, filed an appeal etc.... and still couldn't keep my monetization. 12 years doing youtube on and off, and the kicker is, I never did anything wrong and all the money I made went to charity. Best of luck to you both.
I ran into the same issue, I have been monetized for years, but was slowed down from doing videos because of work and then some health issues...when I got back on here I had wondered why nothing had came in for over a year, and found that I "no longer meet eligibility." I meet their eligibility years ago, then they changed the goal post on me with no notice.
I don’t think I’ve ever given money to a content creator, bust just sent you some. Your content is so refreshing and I wish I found you sooner.
TH-cam sucks. I worked on building a channel for a year and they refused to monetize me so I moved to Rumble and was monetized immediately. TH-cam thinks they are so big they will never fail but they are wrong and I can't wait to see it when it happens.
That's terrible. I've not heard of rumble. Might have to investigate.
Don't give up guys, I have been following you since you met Mona. I look forward at the end of my stressful day to watch a wonderful couple that has been so kind and full of heart and adventure and just love your dog as well!
Be sure to post where everyone can send funds to help you for now until you get all this straightened out with utube. GOOD LUCK XO!!!
Thanks! You two rock and I hope you stay active and we'll keep watching!!
Thank you so much for the support !🙏 we are emailing back and forth with TH-cam as we speak still no answers .
Lol. Im sorry, this is just sort of funny. They just told you that they will not receive this. This donation goes straight to youtube and will not help this couple. This should be pissing everyone off, however its also also been very well known for the past 2 years, TH-cam can/will demonetize creators, once the money gets big enough for them to just keep everything.
i hope it goes well, idk what is going on but im a new subscriber
thank you for the warning and I am so sorry to see this happen.
Somehow this video was pushed to my home channels. I didn't do a search.
I enjoyed your video and it appears you have a Northstar truck camper. I had one years ago and really miss that type of travel.
Be patient and stick with what your doing!
So sorry this happened, you guys are so real and refreshing to watch, hope it all works out for you. You always have a place to stay if you come to Montana
I hope you can continue. I enjoy you finding great paces to camp and swim. Thank you for your service.
I'm so glad I sent my donation to you guys via PayPal. Feel for you because I really enjoy your channel and content.
Very sorry to hear this happened to you guys. TH-cam has been going through my account and demonetizing my old videos for the last couple weeks so it’s happening to me as well. Hope they get this fixed quick. Best of luck guys!
I’m sorry you guys are going through this. Another TH-camr (the real music observer) that I watch, went through the same thing. He got demonetized out of nowhere. He reached out to the TH-cam hidden powers and eventually got it resolved (it took about two weeks). Maybe you can reach out to him on how he got it resolved.
Btw, as many other viewers are stating, your video came up first on my feed today. I’ve never heard of you guys, nor have I ever had one of your videos pop up on my feed.
Good luck!
Weirdly, I just found y’all because TH-cam pushed your padre island video on my home page 15 minutes after this video was posted.
I also found you prior to the Bob Wells' episode. Fight this, and stay with us. Your channel is as legitimate as they come.
I just randomly stumbled across your channel a couple of weeks ago. I’m glad I did because I love your content! I’m sorry to hear you’re having to deal with this nightmare. Hopefully you can get it resolved quickly.
thanks for the great info, am taking notes on this, as well am sorry for your loss, respectfully K
Seeing that your subscriber count is growing even after the demonetizing error - Hoping things resolve favorably. I subbed when you barely cracked 10k, which was only about a month ago. + 8K in 10 days is proof you guys deserve right and fair compensation for your contribution to YT. Praying for you!
I understand your frustration with YT. A few years ago, I had a descent channel with about 30k subs. Another person started a channel with my exact SAME channel name; just the name had a space in it. This violates YT rules but I could do NOTHING about it. Round and round with email bot and no way to get it fix cause you cant speak to anyone at YT. Finally, i gave up and just shut my channel down. They suck.
Found you via truck camper searches probably 3 months ago. Sorry you have all these problems with TH-cam. I’ve heard many channels have similar issues usually the issue is cleared up in just a day or two. Like your content hope you decide to continue. Best of luck getting through this.
This is devastating news guys. It has been so good seeing the channels recent growth. Hopefully it gets sorted out and you can stick with it. Stay strong.
Sorry this happened to you! I’m subscribing! I want to do a channel about truck camping as well, I just bought a new truck. I’m a disabled veteran and love traveling and camping as well. 🤘🏻 hope all works out!
Good luck with your channel.
been watching you guys for a couple months now, this really sucks and I totally understand your frustrations. I hope that you do get to work this out quickly and they correct their mistake, would hate to see you two stop what youre doing here. Hope this just becomes a small bump in the road and I eventually run into you guys when I hit the road in a couple years 🤞
If you find a good way to actually contact TH-cam, please share so we can call and give them a piece of out minds on this topic.
YES! Completely agree! We, your viewers, need to not just comment to you, but to make our voices heard on your behalf to TH-cam. Make it known that due to the recent exposure on the popular Bob Wells CheapRVLiving channel, you got a big bump in views. That you are legitimate and they are wrong to withhold all donations and monies due you! We know you are just hanging on, hoping to get your subscriber numbers up enough to subsist on, without having to quit this lifestyle altogegether. Viewers, please act and help CandE 's channel survive. They put in so much work-and do it so well - to have it come for naught.
So sorry to hear this guys. Hopefully the investigation will go in your favour. Good luck. You both deserve to be treated better 💕
Crazy!!! You guys popped up on my main page. I have never seen you guys before. They are pushing your content.
Way to go. Now I'm stuck watching videos from the beginning, when you met / started doing vlogs & YT . I'm stuck at 3 years back. You're still in Guam.
We really appreciate you checking out those older videos ! 🙏🥹
I am so sorry! I feel your rage. I suspect the rapid change in traffic from the Wells video did something. That is how I found your channel and I love it! Algorithms suck.
I sold my house in Thailand, bought an RV, moved to the States and hit the road 4 years ago. This decision to change my life was based on a Shopify store that made $5k a month due to a 50k follower, very active, Facebook biz page. A few month in, one day I woke up to being tossed off Facebook. No warning. 95% of my income was just gone. Never found out why. A year + later I got back on with a personal account and after months of back and forth they admitted my old store was mine. Yet they still wanted more documentation. Never got my store back.
The government has to step in and protect those us who pay social media sites thousands in ads to build up our pages, or do so with sweat equity, from being kicked to the curb by mindless algorithms. The lack of a human to work things out with and the lack of any information has to stop! Again, I am so sorry this happened to you.
yes so true, stores get stolen, hijacked or just closed and thats it, game over. Utterly CRIMINAL.
Just recently found your channel and really enjoy your content! I really hope your problem has not been caused by the type of music you use, because I really like it.
I hope you resolve this issue. I'd hate to see you leave. I've been following you for about 3 years now and I always look forward to your videos. I found your channel when I was researching inflatable boats. Good luck!
We have to switch to a better platform that isn't political or censoring vids...End TH-cam !!!
All it takes is a few like minded individuals to make a new platform and promote the change. Something definitely needs to be done. Any platform that silences, shadow bans or puts people in internet jail for speech is a fascist and should not be allowed to operate within the United States. No corporations, businesses or political Establish should have the power to sway any form of the US Constitution for their own beliefs, thoughts, ideas or opinions. The change starts with us. So let’s all figure this out and find away. We are Americans, we can figure it out.
Damn! I thought TH-cam was my friend! Now I find out my thoughts and comments are/might be censored? Damn!
Rumble is the move!!
Rumble?
@@greggyjunobody watches there. Ive got several channels 3, 4, subs. In 2 years. Only comments from indians trying to get me to hire them to run my channels. Maybe travel niche is better but my channels get nothing. But ive also had dozens of youtube channels since youtube started & they never promoted any of them. This channel here was my only channel I ever had over 1000 subs back in the day. But I was verbally reaming scammers in a business I am in. So the toxicness was what lured people in. I had to erase my videos as youtube was giving me strikes & removing my videos while promoting scammers as they still & always will do. They ran me out for calling out who pays their bills.
Wow thank you for sharing.
Scary experience - TH-cam has your email and gives zero notification or appeal.
The bot "contact" "help" is soooo frustrating and you are caught in an endless LOOP - that is ZERO frustration and NO Customer Service.
TH-cam keeping all the money is the reason.
The same situation happened to us BEFORE we were monitized our channel made alot of money FOR TH-cam, once we were monetized, nothing changed on our channel EXCEPT all our stats dropped and the revenue fell off drastically (NOW - only $1 per day for 10+ hours each day).
Is it a coincidence that once TH-cam had to share revenue with us our channel stats/revenue dropped?
It’s a crazy amount of money if they steal just a little from millions of creators . And we have no recourse.
Man sorry that happened to you brother. That sucks. I really like yalls videos. Ill keep watching
I’m also a new subscriber and found your channel pretty easily in my feed! Keep on keeping on you guys have some great content!
Congratulations you are the lucky winner and have been chosen to get screwed by TH-cam. This is not a coincidence, it is no doubt by choice. You are not the first channel to have this done to you. You are one of several that have had to fight to get your monetization back. The entire TH-cam system needs a complete revamp. But then again, why change when you're on the winning end?😢
Yip. I have been singing this song for some time now. The channels that explodes in 3 or 4 months are of such bad quality. Bad. The filming, the editing etc. I call it the TH-cam algorithm lottery.
Big salute to you my man for speaking out. Hope you find the energy and goal to fight past it. Going to do my own at some point.
Keep us updated when this gets sorted out. Thanks.
I’m following you today because this video was sent to me via TH-cam. I’ve never seen your videos before and I watch a lot of TH-cam. I hope you get this figured out.❤
Your channel pops up on my TV often. Just today there it was!
I just recently stumbled across your channel (maybe within the last 1-2 weeks). I hope you both are able to figure things out so you are able to continue on with your videos. Best wishes.
Hopefully this all gets sorted out. Keep going, great channel!
You guys are popping up under recommended! That's how I found you! I subscribed! Keep up the fight! It will be resolved.
Much love. This channel was taking off legit 😎🤘🏼☀️☀️. Stay positive
You guys have become my favorite channel ! I view your kind of content but just found your channel …. Weird you never popped up before ( I have the same truck, same bike ,had a similar camper , my Boat is a small cabin runabout but it’s fiberglass , I research e-bikes ! Don’t give up
I'm sorry sorry this has happened to you.peace, love, respect.
Maybe they will give you back your money when their review is done. Maybe? You two are pretty adorable. I'm sending you good thoughts and quick resolution and lots of money going your way!
Yes my husband has been creating sheet music videos for about 16 years and they demonetized him, no reason at all. They also kept the last 1,345 that he made, he never got his channel back. I'm sad you guys are dealing with this, too.
I’m only chiming in because I feel bad for creators that put out real knowledge, teaching videos. My kids follow music instruction. I have noticed the creators seem to make the least amount of money, but teach something that the viewer can actually get something out of, learning! But the guy that kicks his buddy in the nuts on video, is making huge money. I feel for our future
That is terrible.
criminals that never get caught
@@lauchlanguddy1004 Yes.
Watch all your videos. Sorry this is happening. Hope you get it figured out. Big fan.
Keep going guys....stay strong 💪
Thanks for sharing this information with us all! We are truly hoping you get this all straightened out so you can get back to your regularly scheduled posted video content. It just goes to show that none of us can put all of our eggs in one basket. Please consider a diverse stream of income. This is too damn stressful and your marriage doesn’t need it. Praying for you both!
This video also popped up in my feed and I’ve never seen you before. Wild! I hope it gets resolved soon.
That’s crappy! I saw you on Bob’s channel and TH-cam started suggesting your videos immediately after I finished the video.
Good luck … I found your channel through Bob Wells! Things will sort themselves out but you have to be patient.❤
Winning here isn't going to help .. hearing the same things from other channels lately.
I watch several nomad channels. Just came across your content and I love it. I fully understand how you feel. I have 81k followers on tiktok and there are times I'll get 400k views and then time I'll get 400. I hope you continue on. Good luck.
I subscribed and I’m writing this to help out with engagement. Never seen your channel, it just popped up in my feed. Hopefully yall get it figured out. Sorry all that is happening to yall
Just came across the channel from suggestion on TH-cam and I'm a fan subbed good luck on new journey!
I have always found it odd that your subscriber count is so low. Your content is interesting and informative!
I just found you through the Bob Wells interview as well. And I searched to find your channel. I hope they get it straightened out quick.
This is completely insane that they would do this. So sorry for y'all
This is the first time your channel has appeared on my feed. I hope things work out for you guys. You have so much content! ❤
I turned my parents on to your channel and we have binge watched all summer and we love it. Come back your content is better than and of my vanlife travel and sailing shows I watch.
Keep up the good work. I hoping the Tube gets it chit together.
Last year, my sons channel was demonitized when he had 30K subs & close to 1M VIEWS in 90 days. He was a 'fail' channel...using the same exact formatting as a huge fail channel! They pick & choose...😢
Yip and that is scary.
Time to get a real job. You cannot rely on these social media companies.
