Hello again, everybody! I hope you are enjoying your weekend. I'd like to start off by responding to the frequently asked question this week: "Where is George?" and then hit a few important miscellaneous points, give you some updates on Frosted Fricks' weekend at Fan Expo, and then finally we'll touch base on the buzz regarding censorship and demonetized content on YouTube.
Where's George?
George has been working behind the scenes with Gloco and his team on ways to help the whole Freedom! Family. In addition to that, as CEO he has many responsibilities and things that he does that have taken a bit more of his time than usual lately. There were no episodes of The George Show last week; hopefully we'll see him again soon.
All the important miscellaneous topics:
➔ Members of the Month for August have been announced! https://freedom.community.tm/threads/members-of-the-month-august.210552/
➔ Anthony decided to start something here on the forums that he's calling "brain dumps" where he rambles some useful info for everyone: https://freedom.community.tm/threads/anthonys-brain-dump-08-30-2016.210093/
➔ Freedom! Academy's receiving a face lift; this is mostly on the tech side with updated video content to come!
➔ Some Save the Children fundraising events have been going on this weekend! Freedom! partner Dandruff from News Cartridge has been streaming for this cause! Community Team Member ThePandrus is also streaming to raise funds for this cause! They're currently both still live as I'm writing this. Maybe you can catch them! Have any of you ever done a charity stream? How about for Save the Children? I'd love to know what causes you've supported. I know we have so many caring people in our #FreedomFamily
➔ In reply to this Tweet, Freedom! says "We have some cool things in the works one is about a month from being announced..." Can't wait to find out what it is! https://twitter.com/BfKLegend/status/771015329971568640
➔ A member of the #FreedomFamily is battling cancer and preparing for an amputation. He's optimistic about recovery, and looking forward to the future that's ahead after he gets through all of this. I think it would be really great to get a few of you into his comments with words of encouragement. I think he's an inspiration and handling everything way better than most people might. This is a great time to spread our #NeverGiveUp motto.
Frosted Fricks at Fan Expo!
Frosted Fricks headed to Fan Expo Canada for Stan Lee's final Fan Expo appearance, and to represent #FreedomFamily there. He made a little video for Freedom! Central before he headed out, and has been keeping us updated via Twitter throughout the weekend!
To see all of the posts about his time at the event, make sure you're following and checking in on Frosted Fricks and Freedom! on Twitter: https://twitter.com/FrostedFricks & https://twitter.com/mcnfreedom
As I was writing this, Frosted Fricks uploaded -> a video <- on his channel showing some swag he got there!
Hot Topic: YouTube is over?!
Some large and rightfully concerned YouTubers may have blown this out of proportion. These policies causing demonetization and/or limitations on monetization have been in place for a year, but are just now coming to the surface with new notifications. There's a lot of banter about censorship, and while in some ways that is kind of happening - it is not actually censorship that is occurring. They're not taking down content, which would be censorship; they're limiting monetization. That's important to realize and understand.
