Cheese. Keep up the good job.

Community I realize this video is a year old, but when I happened upon it I was impressed with your honesty. I was also impressed with your positive attitude and encouragement. I’m a 70 year old gal who is very recently widowed. I have always loved woodworking and have dusted off some old tools to escape my heartbreak even for a bit and occupy my mind by creating with wood. I’m shocked at the crazy cost of wood (my income was cut in half at the loss of my husband and I am retired) so starting small with kids stools. Woodworking lifts my spirits. And this, I’m sure, you understand! Short story long, I subscribed out of support to you. Good people deserve good things. Good on you!

sorry for your loss you sound like a lovely person and i say good on you for giving wood working a crack me i am not into wood but mettle and have the toys and use them a lot for myself plus make the odd thing for the market but sadly not much as i would like now as i have lost my left leg due to an infection no not diabetic but am slowly getting back into it as not easy to stand and measure things but bit better now thanks to a false leg keep up your woodwork and Cheers for your future

Good job my friend. 42 years in business has taught me that tenacity is required for success and one unspoken trait to success is blind ambition, blind ambition helps up break down barriers that you wouldn't otherwise attempt. I was accidentally launched into the plastics business about 40 years ago knowing nothing about plastics. Knowing today what I know, I would never have attempted the venture that supported over 500 families for many years. Good Luck young man.

Funny thing is they could solve this with little investment. Since they have a lot of accounts that are "beyond reproach", such as major OLs and "influencers", with lots of followers, they could outsource such cases to a committee of these dudes so they'd review the channel and vote on it. That would have positive publicity for both the company and the OLs and put a human face on the company.

Cheese man I just seen this video,glad you got your account fixed,big shout out to Todd, I’m a retired woodworker and I’m hoping you can make your way through your life of woodworking enjoyable ✌🏻

Cheese! WAY TO GO TODD!! It has been an exciting 45 minutes on my end. Discovering that you even exist and make great wood working videos and then that you were almost obliterated by a huge faceless techno giant, learning about walrus butter and then that Todd exists and sort of fixed your problem. This has been better than any big budget movie that I have seen in a while. All while drinking my morning coffee, eating a bagel and getting ready for work. ABSOLUTELY!!! We need more kindness everywhere. Treat people like you want to be treated! Take care!

Cheese... When you asked your viewers to reach out to other KZread creators, I got a little teary eyed. That was very heartfelt and thoughtful. We need more of that in this world! Thank you for the inspiration!

Cheese-y that a software company as big as IG, FB, YT, lack the employees to handle the customer service volume. As a software developer, I understand the unfortunate consequences of bugs. But there should always be human Intervention to support victims of these bugs. Glad you're back online.

Why should they be concerned with it? Their business is not supporting creators or even about making a space for people to showcase themselves to the world. It only about add revenue. And anything that reduces add revenue is irrelevant. Your tiny spec of a channel is irrelevant to them. And to house and support a customer support staff would significantly decrease profits from add revenue. The guy that helped fix this creators problem was an IT guy that manages servers he is not customer support. Understand the monster your dancing with.

When you talked about getting a lawyer, and said you worried that the content was just gone, I winced.

I don't think it was the content that he was concerned about. He surely has all the raw footage, and the rendered final, on his computer and likely a backup drive. He mentioned that the data on his account being gone would make it worthless. I believe the data he refers to is his followers and the views/engagement on his content.

KZread constantly sends me offers for their premium subscriptions to be able to watch KZread created content. I have no desire to watch professionally created content. That's why I no longer watch the content created on TV or cable. I find the content created by ordinary folks far more interesting.

CHEESE - I always appreciate not only your woodworking videos but how transparent you are about your business. It's a great value to the community. Thank God for Todd!

Cheese! Thanks so much for taking us through that journey. A cautionary tale that we can all benefit from. Really appreciate your attitute, vibe, and positivity. And the spirit of paying it forward. I just came across your channel and will definitely watch more and check out all your pages! Peace, love, and good cheese.

Cheese - inspiring. I'm a beginner for the last couple of years slowly growing my shop and really appreciate your humor and your humanity. Wish you all the best

Probing once again you are the big " cheese" when it comes to having true integrety! Glad to hear you are back up and running and have the technical issues ironed out. Praise be to Todd, we need more exemplary employees like him in the social media industry.

Cheese wiz you was here. Been following your oddysey and am really impressed by your devotion to being ethical and your perseverance . Also am in awe at the volume and creativity of your designs. Looks to me like nothing can stop you. Really glad you are still going forward and not letting idiocy of others hold you back. " illegitimus non carborundom" Thank you for all your long work , and not giving up. It shows a fine example for the community .

Cheese! Just wanted to show support and say I'm glad it worked out finally! And good for you for taking the hard road and saying farewell to the companies that are only in it for themselves. I'm also getting going from no experience or training and having small spaces, so I can relate to your videos. Don't think I'll be going the social media route, but glad you have!

Cheese! I am happy and relieved for you! Great news to start the year. With a number of videos in the can getting ready for posting, it sounds like you're getting 2022 finished off on the right foot and 2023 off to a good start. Keep up the great work and we'll be here along for the ride! Here's to new sponsors!

Thank you for taking the time to walk through what happened and how it got resolved. Also I think you showed real class in not calling out the sponsors who dropped you and just chose not to work with them anymore. I look forward to seeing your future content and you have been added to my list of KZreadrs to watch/listen to while I work my day job (software engineer). Eventually I want to get the courage up to start selling the woodworking projects I like to "play" with and each video I watch on the subject gets me closer to that 🙂. Best of luck in growing your business.

I’m sorry for what you went through, but the way you have handled this, and the way you stayed true to your principles show that you are truly a man of integrity, your credibility has been enhanced by this unfortunate event. Good luck and well done! 👍

Vulnerable = slave to monopolies. FB and IG make billions. They need a WAY better process (read human beings) to resolve issues. Sending this to my congressional rep. It’s a really good example of how much of an impact massive tech companies have on the lives of little guys.

Community - First of all, I am impressed with the high level of quality of your video. This is the first video of yours that I watched when it came into my feed. It is immediately apparent that you are very good at what you do and your passion for doing it well is most evident. The brilliant lighting, the video shot angles and editing that you change up during your discourse, the informative and extremely interesting content of your discussion and explanation of what happened to you on June 3rd, and the very enjoyable quality of your delivery and presentation are all at the highest professional level, in my opinion. Because of the wonderful quality of this video and because you cogently and purposefully explain what happened to you and your business with that other platform, I have liked this video and subscribed to your channel. It is that enjoyable, informative, and watchable. Secondly, merely contemplating that what happened to you is even within the realm of possibility to an industrious person such as yourself who is busy building his channel and his business with positive and constructive postings, and having absolutely no content that violates the kind of usage policy of which you have been accused, is supremely annoying and frustrating. I don’t know who you are and in all my time using YT, I have never seen your videos and your channel. However, that does not change the fact that what happened to you and your having posted about it is valid, vitally, crucially important, more important than you think. Your account of what happened to you on June 3rd is unbelievable and shocking. Your story takes me right back to why we rebelled against the Crown in 1776 and why the Revolutionary War was inevitable - because our citizens were being dictated on how they ought to live their lives. Our citizens were being made to pay exorbitant taxes without representation and without the due process of law to an unapproachable tyrant half of world away and whose representatives among the colonists were only another set of oppressors working to promote some distant, unknowable and aloof ruler dead set on suppressing a person’s right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Here we are fully ensconced within the 21st century and this kind of oppression is still happening to our citizens. I am ashamed and extremely disappointed. As such, I applaud your resolve, your plan to rise above the ashes of what they destroyed that belonged to you and for which they did nothing to help create and establish with your fans, followers and loyal customers. I am even more frustrated when I try to imagine a useful and employable solution against this kind of tyranny being used and justified to suppress brilliant creators like you. I don’t have billions of dollars to purchase and become the CEO of that platform and expose its bad actors for the destruction of people’s lives they have been unilaterally conducting, all in the name of their nebulous policy and the Gestapo tactics they deploy to enforce it. I wish I knew what the Declaration of Independence to correct and remove what happened to you ought to be. I don’t know how to mount a revolution for you and how to obtain the best results for your kind of content. Nevertheless, I stand four-square alongside you, to support your endeavors, and to help ensure your voice and your life are not snuffed out at the whim of some ghostly tyrant and its impossible policies. Stay encouraged. Stay strong. You are not alone. Thank you for your courage and your honest aim to let us know what truly happened to you. Your story is more important than you know.

Cheese! Losing your Instagram account totally sucks! Good on you for being persistent in trying to figure it all out and get it back. And bless “Todd’s” heart for helping you ❤ I hope you have huge success from this point forward!!!

Cheese! I love your tenacity and content and the fact your desire to learn and improve is coupled with your honesty and integrity. And dude you've got mad skills! As a teacher working in a shop I built solo using 99% salvaged lumber, tin, and framed almost totally with pallets, I can appreciate your working conditions. Keep up the great work and I look forward to watching your almost 3000 videos!! Best of luck to you!

CHEESE, it's always nice to see the little guy get back on his feet and tell sponsors to do one when they let you down, I've been working with wood for about 35 years and when covid hit the 2 guys I had working with me, I gave them my contacts and let them take the contracts I had to help support their families, I change my direction a little and became a courier and a weekend carpenter ( DIYer ) which helps with my family life.... Your Videos make me remember why I LOVE woodworking, just like my DAD did... Many Thanks and look forward to more entertainment and Mistakes.

Really glad you got this issue resolved finally.

Learning that you have actually come out the other end of this cluster-f**k and have been restored makes me so very happy. Your videos are such fun to watch (I'm not a woodworker but you'd never know that from the huge number of woodworking channels I'm subscribed to....lolol). You remind me so much of two of my favorite woodworking channels...Blacktail Studios and Frank Howarth....that same friendly "welcome to my world" approach.

Cheese, I enjoyed the story of your journey to happiness working with wood and spreading your knowledge on social media. It’s a path I wanted to follow as a youngster but was groomed to be a “professional” early on. I’m now 84 years old, and after watching many of your KZread videos, am energized to devote my remaining years to creating modest woodworking projects for posterity. Thanks for the inspiration you give us all.

Cheese, good luck on your business. In 1986, after moving from Steamboat Springs, CO to the Texas Medical Center in Houston, TX, like you, I was building my own furniture in my apartment parking lot. Life is an adventure!

Cheese! I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your experiences with Instagram. Thanks for being concerned with other small businesses trying to help others get better at DIY.

Glad you got this resolved, glad I found your content, very well done. Very useful for a novice woodworker 🙂

cheese, well done and congrats you got your account back and showing some of the issues with building a business thru social media systems.

Cheese. I have watched a few of your videos in the past, but these two videos have piqued my attention. You are obviously a man of integrity. Many people would be overtly bitter and let it seep into your content. You have a new subscriber!

Cheese!! Absolutely love that things worked out for you and look forward to checking more out!

You have quality strength of character sir bravo!

Cheese: I just discovered your videos (the one where you replaced your table saw with the heavy duty TiN coated ~400 lb. monster, the one where you described losing a chunk of your business due to IG screw up, and the one where "Todd" help you out and got your IG account recovered) and I find your video presence is very calming and easy to listen to. I've gone and subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing videos of the projects you've created. More importantly, it really resonates with me that you do all of this out of your small apartment garage. I own a 1-bedroom condo which has a garage that is similar in size to your shop and I'm inspired to explore what it means to be a "maker" or "creator" or just simply organize my garage as you've done with your shop. So, I just wanted to say, "Thank You" and wish you the best in your endeavors for 2024!

CHEESE, Glad to hear you got it all sorted out! Thank God for the "Todd's" of the world. It's nice to hear that there are still people out there willing to help even if/when the big corps won't! Take care and all the best for your future projects.❤❤👍👍

CHEESE man. I'm sorry that you had to go through that, but I'm glad that you got most of it back. Hang in there. You will one day be able to do this fulltime like you want. I've seen others do it, and I believe you can too.

Cheese - please keep the good content coming! I have become a big fan and I am so happy that you were victorious in your David v Goliath battle with IG. Keep fighting the good fight!

Cheese!!! Great to hear you’re getting back on track. Best of all good things to you.

It is absolutely cool that you're back up and running on this platform. It is scary, however, that ALL of this information that you have posted, is still 100% readily available, after months of being blocked and banned... On that note, I admire your personal integrity, honesty, and adaptability.

Cheese, glad to see you finally got your account back, kudos to Todd for reaching out and helping you resolve the issue, I look forward to seeing your future productions

This should be mandatory viewing for anyone starting an “ income stream” chanel. Good job.

So glad you were able to get your account restored. Keep the great videos coming safe. Good luck. PS: your videos also helped me find John on Lincoln St and I'm hooked over on his channel too.

Cheese, thanks for the update, I just saw the other video about Instagram shutting you down. Best of luck.

Cheese! I am glad this worked out for you. I have been watching several channels trying to learn how to start and grow a wood working business. I stumbled upon one of you videos the other day and have watched many since. I have been very impressed at where you started and how far you come. After watching one of your videos, I thought, he is doing exactly what I want to do! I still have no idea how to start this adventure and at 52 with a full time "DAY JOB" that I have been at for 27 years its a little intimidating. I cant wait to see what you have for us next and go back and watch your videos that I have missed Keep up the great work and showing your kindness to others.

Cheese, I am glad you were able to get resolution. I also respect your decision to not pick up the sponsors that dropped you.
