Kulibina's channel was banned, the reason is borrowed content))

Greetings, dear subscribers of the channel. Something happened that I certainly could not have expected. The channel received sanctions for borrowed content. So that you understand the situation, I will briefly tell you the essence of the channel.

It all started with the fact that I was looking for interesting homemade products and doing reviews on them. By the nature of my activity, I have to watch a lot of different videos on foreign English-language resources, from where I took useful materials. I took screenshots from video materials on foreign sites and described everything in my own words.

Then the channel became more or less popular and the authors of YouTube channels began to contact me with a request to describe homemade products from their video clips with the placement of an active link to the YouTube channel and an indication of the authorship that I and did.

Everything went well, but on March 8, attendance dropped sharply and I saw a mark in my karma about breaking the rules of the Zen platform. I write to the Support Service, explaining all of the above with the hope to convey to them that, in principle, there can be no borrowed content here.

The support service answered me that it is not forbidden to make such materials and it’s even good that I provide a link to authorship. But the YouTube channels mentioned in my articles should also post a backlink to the article so that the algorithm does not find fault and so that users from YouTube switch to Zen.

Of course, I understand the desire of Zenists to get an audience from YouTube, but channel owners don't need it, on the contrary, they want to get an audience from Zen to their channel. And I can understand them, since the income from the YouTube channel is much higher than the Zen crumbs.

After long conversations with the Support Service, I could not even point to the article (or articles) that they considered borrowed. It seems like they do not have such data))) Well, then the fool understands that they have the data and they know everything, it's just that Zen is not geared towards supporting authors and providing real high-quality support.

Zen's main task is to quickly cut the advertiser's budget, and the fact that the author worked, created and spent his time does not bother anyone. You guys write, give us free content, and we will cut down the dough on you, and then we will ban you and won't even say why)))

Real support would say that your article about African beetles contains errors and breaks the rule. Correct the comment. In practice, it becomes clear to the author that this cannot be done and he takes measures for the future.

And then they took it in one fell swoop and chopped it off. And that's all, then the support service is useless both as a concept and as a phenomenon. I don’t understand what it is for, if it doesn’t provide any sensible support.

Further more, a little flipping through the Zen tape, I did find several channels that were younger than mine. And on these channels I saw similar articles, that is, my screenshots, but a different text description. I immediately rushed to write to the Support Service and pointed them to these channels, but received a standard answer, I was again asked to contact the authors of YouTube channels and ask them to put links to Zen)))

Children are small, by God))) In general, so I decided. I deleted from myself the articles that were stolen from me. Okay, let it go to others, they probably need it more. Submit the channel for re-moderation and see the result. For now, I will not do new reviews for obvious reasons.

I have already prepared for launching 3 more channels about needlework, modeling, knitting. But now I do not know whether it is worth launching them, if at any moment you can be thrown into the trash without giving a reason.

The next moderation will be on March 29th. We are waiting for the result.
