YouTube video on teaching kids about money deleted to avoid COPPA "violation"

Here's another video coming down to preempt YouTube's COPPA regulations, going into effect in 9 days, forcing millions of content-creators to delete videos, or surrender to neutering (no comments, no ratings, no sharing, no notifications, etc).

YouTube's COPPA purge of late 2019 is underway, and content-creators are pouring over trillions of minutes of footage for anything about, for, appealing to, involving, by, or with children. My channel's videos include several on the chopping block, including this 2012 piece of history. Here it is, recorded in the most complete way I know how, somewhere I believe it won't get censored or deleted. I clipped off the second half of the original upload, which was just outdated financial info at this point.

NOTE: I've never shown my kids' faces online, nor posted their names or personal details of any kind. I believe they can choose to give up their privacy themselves, when they're mature enough to understand all the implications. You'll notice a few blurry 'privacy moments' in the video.

I think it's ridiculous that YouTube is shutting (and sometimes memoryholing) entire channels and millions of videos, to "protect the children". What happened to parents supervising their young kids while online? Now we have to censor the whole internet just to supposedly keep the kids safe while they're online by themselves? Something's not right about that!

Bitchute is working well for video uploading and watching. People are flocking from YouTube there in droves right now, especially banned and censored content-creators with important things to say. Signup (and uploading) is free and easy, and they're committed to remain anti-censorship.
