I’ve received the “invalid traffic” message on my YouTube channel once again, and what concerns me is the lack of notification about it.
I only became aware of the message when I saw the image displayed on the analytics page. Since I don’t frequently visit that page, it’s possible that the message has been there for quite some time without my knowledge.
This situation further reinforces my decision to start a Patreon channel. YouTube has proven to be an unreliable source of income, with a lack of transparency and accountability.
Considering my past experiences, I’ve decided not to contact YouTube support this time. Based on my previous attempts, it has proven to be a waste of time.
In the meantime, as I carefully assess my options and determine the best course of action going forward, I plan to release one more video next Wednesday.
If you’re not on Patreon but are interested in seeing what I’ve been doing on my Patreon benefits page.
Please note that the behind-the-scenes posts are missing from that page.
Additionally, I’m excited to announce an extra benefit for Tier 2 and Tier 3 on Patreon. I will provide the yardage needed to make a quilt for selected videos using specific blocks.
And as the number of patrons increases, I’ll be able to produce more content, so the benefits will continue to grow.
Join Patreon and support my work.
