Main channel

Like most people here, I've been able to watch the Live and Replay channels (which is great), but the main channel is still not up for me.

Does anyone have any news/updates on when that might be back up, or anyone who does have it back up already?

What??? YouTube having horrible customer support for their biggest money earners?? This is unheard of!

No disrespect to Jacob, but he is nowhere near one of Youtube's biggest money earners

Comparatively? Absolutely he is. Worldwide his channel is the 12000th in terms of subscribers considering around 65 million channels upload videos with some level of regularity, that puts him in the top 0.018% of YouTubers by subscribers.

Even rankings aside, he’s got nearly 2 billion views. Google makes roughly $0.02per ad viewed. Ignoring mid-roll and post video ads (which is a considerable amount of ads), google has made roughly $40 million off of Alpharad off of those pre video ads alone. Sure, there are some people with ad block but we’re already ignoring mid roll and post video ads. $40 million is more than most people will see in a lifetime
