Incident with Daily Motion 2024
Cordova, TN; January 29, in the year of our Lord 2024
-- Family Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in
covering the family friendly video games is continuing to be the
voice of diversity in the gaming media, and media at large. We
had quite the baffling experience with Daily Motion recently. I
am still not clear on a lot of what happened and the reasoning
behind it. Let me share what I do. know. Out of all the video
upload sites we use Daily Motion is one of the absolute worst to
work with. Someone makes a copyright claim on a video and they
delete the video and threaten the channel. They do not even
attempt to follow the fair use copyright laws in the United
States of America. Maybe because they are from France.
Out of the blue we got this email from Daily Motion that they
deleted our channel. The email stated we violated their TOS and
to go and read the TOS. Went to TOS and it is a giant page with
all kinds of stuff on it. There was no mention of which part of
it we allegedly violated. They canceled us. We went to the site
and sure enough we were gone and so were the thousands of videos
we have uploaded for a great many years. I was like fine, we can
be done with this annoying site. My only interest was the unpaid
money that was sitting in the account. So I reached out to
support to find out about that money and when we would paid. I
suspected they would not send us any money at all. Just a
feeling with how they have behaved in the past.
Support did their standard we only pay out when the money
reaches a certain threshold. Here is where it gets interesting.
We were deleted and canceled for having a link to the Store page
on the Family Friendly Gaming website. According to support we
are not allowed to make any money. We are supposed to be slave
labor that makes them money. Nice double standard there eh?!? We
were told to do and edit thousands of videos and remove the
link. Do you have any idea how many hours that would take with
their archaic setup website? I estimated it would cost us around
three thousand dollars to do that work. There is verbiage on our
website that states if a company leaves our content online for
twenty-four hours and then requests a change they agree to pay
our estimated cost of work.
As you could expect they want us to follow all of their rules,
but they spit on our rules and claim they are not bound by any
of our rules. We are just slave labor to them after all. We
can't profit but they can. We must follow their rules, but they
refuse to obey any of ours. Starting to see a pattern? We told
them we go public with our experiences. From there we were
escalated up to management. All of a sudden we never violated
their TOS, and the channel was reinstated. They reiterated that
we must follow all of their rules, and none of our rules matter
at all. If we did not violate their rules why even state that
there?
I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.
God bless,
