We are reaching out to YouTube to hopefully resolve this, but this has been stressful. Our team put a lot of time and work into the episode, so to have it suppressed for vague reasons we can do little to resolve is frustrating.

Thank you for watching and sharing the episode!🙏

We can't just reupload it. YouTube could flag that as spam, potentially impacting the overall channel and future videos.

We have to play by YouTube's rules here, but in the future we expect to have a means of reposting unaltered or removed episodes.

We had to use YouTube's editor, so we could either make a quick cut or mute the whole section. A cut felt more natural.

Now YouTube is preventing us from reverting the video to its original version. This is not how it usually works, including for other age-restricted videos like Shadow VS Ryuko.

The video was manually flagged for 'inappropriate language" 🤨 so we took a gamble and cut a word from the video before making our appeal to YouTube, expecting to be able to revert it back if the appeal was rejected.

Well, Ghost Rider VS Spawn got age-restricted. 😮

This severely limits how YouTube shares a video. We knew this was a possibility, but it means this episode is counting on word of mouth MUCH more than usual. So if you liked it, tell your friends about it!
