Thank you so much
I really appreciate the support in what's been a scary week. Apologies I've been offline since releasing the video. My adrenaline has been going nuts and YouTube has rejected my appeal requests repeatedly, leaving me having to give up on PhantomStrider channel & move to LiveStrider channel. Regardless, just knowing your support is here makes me feel so much better. No matter what YouTube does, they can't touch me here. I'll continue making videos. On my LiveStrider channel.
Thank you for helping me make this safe space. I will not give up.

i make small payout on facebook with just random cat videos, its one of the easier platforms to make money on.
I just learned of your situation and yikes man, what YT is doing is really messed up. I can't gurantee I'll subscribe for long as I am having monetary concerns myself, I will subscribe to you for a year so I can help. You do awesome videos, and I LOVED your Autism video on animated characters a lot, and you seem like a cool guy in general anyway. I just want to help as much as I can.
No matter what Josh I think you and your videos are awesome!
Kitty here. You have just gained another Patron. What YouTube has done to you is disgusting.
I ran here so fast to support you! I have been watching you for what i think is about a decade now and I can't believe youtube would target such a genuinely nice and harmless person. Your video's are my safe space.
Your videos have been a joy and a comfort for me for so many years. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful safe space for us all, it means more than you could ever know. I'm not usually very active in this community, but I'll always be here to support you no matter what. 🫂❤️
Signed up here. I am glad that even though they demonetized you, I was able to see the post on YouTube and get here. Your channel definitely deserves to reach people.
Josh, I know it's not much, but you can keep my monthly Patreon donation even if you don't make videos.
I'll do my best to continue supporting you man, really appreciate your sincerity and openess overall. You've build a nice community and I'm happy to be part of it. 🙂
I really hope everything ends up okay for you Strider, I'll be supporting!
I’ll be here for you always. You are one of the few content creators I actually admire.
I fell in love with your videos about 4 or 5 years ago I left your lists just the way you do things will you juggle it's just nice to see someone just doing something fun I know YouTube can be frustrating because I'm there too but you got this whatever you decide to do I have your back
I owe it to you for introducing me to Gravity Falls.
You’ve created a wonderful and safe space for years, and I’m so sorry how YouTube is handling this. Will continue to support you for as long as I can!
Awww, no worries at all!! Really hope everything will improve for you ASAP, and thank you for all the entertainment and fun content!! Really hope you can continue but whatever happens, we’ll be here!
We're here for you! Thank you for the videos 😃
I contacted Team Youtube on Twitter, we'll see if that does anything.
I just watched the YouTube video informing me of the disastrous demonetisation situation which inspired me to help out by becoming a Patreon supporter, but also because I know what it's like to struggle financially, so I'm more than happy to help as a Patron. I love your videos and always find them both very entertaining and enlightening. It's also great that a large percentage of the audience is Neurodivergent like myself, so I know I'm in good company.
Always be here to support you! Love the videos! Keep up the great work!
Strider, I just want to let you know that I remember watching your videos when I did homework when I was around 15/16 years old. I really appreciated the hard work and deep diving you did in your videos. I’m 23 years old now and it’s been some time since I’ve seen your channel, but I admire the dedication to continue, as I’m sure everyone else does aswell. We love you, Strider, and we want you to continue what you love to do, as we will support you through this 💚
We will always have your back, Josh. Don’t give up!
No problem I understand it can a stressful situation and you deserve a lot better truly
I understand if you don't want to share, but how far away are you from being fully supported by Patreon?
Hiya smergl. Nowadays I worry about sharing numbers as more than half my patrons left over the last year and that threw out my safety net alot. It's still a fair way to being independent from YouTube but regardless I'll still make sure I'm making videos for patrons even if I'm eating into savings. Thank you so much for being part of that safety 🙂
Josh, you have been a kind and caring man to your fans. What YouTube is doing to you is absolutely disgusting. I can’t believe that actual trash like the Paul brothers and MrBeast are spared from nonsense like this, but someone as genuine and wholesome as you is targeted by those grubby slime balls. You do not deserve to be in this mess at all.
I will say I used to like Mr Beast before he became super big.
I’ve got your back Josh! beyond honored to call you a dear friend and if you need anything at all let me know
It's so dumb what YouTube has done to you. Hopefully it gets sorted out, but wanted to help regardless!
I’ll always be here to support you, I’ve enjoy watching your videos for YEARS and you deserve better treatment than this.
Of course, Mr. Strider! You gave us a safe space from this chaotic world. It’s only fair to return the favor!
Whatever happens, I will try to continue to show my support.
