The Lighthouse EVERYTHING Explained (The Ultimate Companion Guide) Novum 2020-04-20 | UPDATE: After asking Youtube to give this video a fair review for monetization they upheld the decision and the minute they did all of the views/engagement fell back to a minimum and the video was no longer getting pushed to anyone. I pointed this out to support and their response was to age restrict this (academic) content to the strictest possible setting. So the most successful thing I've ever done, that was well on it's way to 100k views had it's growth shattered by me asking for a fair review and there is nothing I can do to combat that.
