Finally, the draconian yet vague

Terms of Service (TOS) of Google-

YouTube have been publicly

revealed to the content creators -

and the latter are rightfully freaked-

out. You used to have to dig

through thousands of webpages of

legalese to understand what had

been done to your business.

Google-YouTube were not
forthcoming a year ago, when they
defunded some of the best dissident
websites around. All we saw was our
incomes evaporate to less than 5%
of our previous monthly earnings,
without any warning or explanation
- while Google kept their ads up and
running on our webpages, as if
everything were OK.

I, for one am grateful that the cat is
finally out of the bag for everybody.
A year ago, thousands of alternative
news publishers, like me were simply
put out of business and many, like
me are still struggling to keep going.

Now, video content creators who've
earned their living with Google ads
will suffer the same fate.

Google-YouTube's public excuse has
been that they're trying to make their
content more "advertising friendly".
Personally, I observed my own
website's Google ads devolve from
those coming from exciting independent
businesses to ugly, hard-to-watch ads
about a homeless guy who was "making
grocery stores mad". (The ads were so
unattractive that I still have no idea
what they were for).

In my opinion, this change of Google-
YouTube's TOS has nothing to do with
being "Advertising Friendly." It has a
lot to do with censorship.

In the next day or two, you will
finally see the new website for
ForbiddenKnowledgeTV.net!

I'm so proud of the technicians from
around the world who've translated my
4,700+-page website across platform-
and software-corruption jams. It's
been a herculean effort on the part of so
many people. I can never thank each
individual involved enough.

I feel lucky, in a way to have already
walked through that scary Vale of Tears
of having my business pulled out from
under me - without any warning or
explanation - to have survived the shock
and to have that behind me, already.

I apologize for making you endure this
ugly website since last November. (I
learned a lot over the past year).

Your generosity and my business loans
have kept me alive while I've earned
virtually zero in advertising income
since July 2015. The ads you see on
the soon-to-be obsolete site were
"placeholders" for prospective "real"
advertisers I never regained enough
SEO to speak with - and who I now
hope I never have to deal with. (We'll
see how that works out).

Get ready for the reboot!
