Sometime ago i had YT channel with best tracker MODS
ever. When i’ve reached almost 10.000 of subs i was permanently banned, without any strikes on copyrighted content. Anyways, I was posting content under terms of “fair use”. Today i’ve decided to revive the channel on new platform and in a bit different wrapping - 60 sec loops instead of posting whole tracks. I don’t like TT too much, but want to try it out.
