If you get 2 more strikes in this time frame, you completely lose your YouTube account, and can’t even make another monetised in the future. This strike sticks with you for 3 months.
Unlike a Content ID claim – which automatically scans videos and flags any that contain matched audio – this type of claim has to be made manually for each disputed video. This email was a copyright takedown notice from a person who had decided I needed a strike for making a video of a game that contained their music. However, this email was slightly different. You can dispute the strike and attempt to make money off of your video, but I have never bothered in the past. In fact, sometimes they are automatically applied before your video is even published but during its processing stages. You can get these claims without anything happening to your account. If you are unfamiliar with YouTube, allow me to explain.
As someone who plays a lot of indie games, and especially niche indie games for jams, I do get a lot of emails saying that I cannot monetise my content but that I am still in good standing, so I just let it go. I do get these emails from time to time, stating that my content has music in it that I cannot monetise, so ads will run on it that aren’t mine or the video can’t be viewed in specific countries. Riding in my car on the way back from a trip to the store, I received an email from YouTube about a video I made last year. Indie games are what I love covering – bringing light to little games that you may not have seen before, even if just for a few minutes. I also write for various websites like and GameJolt’s Fireside. I cover thousands of game jam games a year on my YouTube channel, as well as some more fleshed out indie games daily.
I have a massive passion for small games – games that developers have made for a game jam are my speciality. I am Jupiter Hadley, a Youtuber and writer specifically on independent games.
