Andrew Kibe shared his experience of losing millions after facing cancellation on YouTube. During an appearance on the Iko Nini Podcast, Kibe claimed that his suspension from YouTube was specific and lacked justification.
According to Kibe, his channel was removed even though he only had one strike, and that strike was on the verge of expiration.
“YouTube gives you money when you play by their rules…but for me, the freedom to be able to create content is supreme and it doesn’t matter the amount of money someone is paying me.
Did you read this?
We cannot put a figure on freedom … I did not do anything wrong. I had over 3, 000 videos on YouTube and I had only one copyright strike when they pulled down my channel. And they did not just pull down one channel, they pulled down all my channels, the ones that were monetized and un-monetized,” Andrew Kibe mentioned.
The YouTuber proceeded to justify himself, asserting that he had not engaged in any wrongdoing warranting the imposed punishment.
“It wasn’t because I said something; it was because it was a targeted attack. It was somebody so powerful.
I only had one copyright strike that was expiring in like a week…I’m the person who had the most YouTube videos as a Kenyan and then they came for channels that did not even have that content. It was a targeted strike,” Kibe added,
Simultaneously, Mwafrika noted that Kibe was one of the highest-paid individuals in Kenya on YouTube. He suggested that Kibe should consider altering his content delivery approach to avoid facing penalties.
Prior to his suspension from YouTube, Kibe was generating a monthly income of at least Sh1.6 million from the platform.
