I forgot to clarify yesterday that Dinosaur Tributes, the original Triassic WarZ series and other media will be available on Internet Archive in the next few days. You can find me on Archive as âGalaxoicaâ and on Vidlii as âSpinoDragon145â or âMaastrichtian Mediaâ. You can also find me on Newgrounds as âSpinoDragon145â as well. I might consider uploading my old content on there too.

In response to YouTubeâs upcoming (and detrimental) new policy that will be in effect tomorrow, I have made a new public server for the channel and I will make updates for everyone on what will come in the future if my channel is targeted by its terrible AI. I canât say for certain that this will be the end of my YouTube career, but itâs safe to prepare if things go down the wrong path. Everybody here is welcome to join. Itâs not much right now, but more work will be made in the following days.
I hope that things donât go south tomorrow. Best of wishes to everyone else. God bless! đđź

I'm aware that the bulk of this is about internet censorship, and it is arguably horrible. There are better ways of preventing minors from seeing adult content, and this is definitely not it. I've already covered this, but onto the main topic.
"For creators, based on our age estimation model weâll apply some additional protections including: Setting uploads as private by default for anyone"
I am pissed off. The fact they even said this is enough reason to keep fighting against this. Granted, I could be reading this wrong, so correct me if I am, but from the way I've read this, I believe my worst fears about YouTube's future has come true. Whatever their crappy AI identifies a user, the user (that'll most likely be marked as a minor based on what was said on âŞ@youtubecreatorsâŹ) will have their content set to private for ANYBODY?! This is a HORRIBLE feature to include in their new update. Knowing how terrible YouTube's AI tech is, they will likely mark users that haven't been active in years, if not, DECADES if they keep going forward with this. This will detriment classic channels and their videos that have been online for nearly as long as this website has been around.
For someone who has been creating and fighting for YouTube nostalgia for as long as I've had this channel, I cannot stand by this. The fact that the devs of this platform are willing to sacrifice the history of this platform for the sake of censorship and identification speaks volumes about the assholes who are in charge. They don't care about YouTube, and they never have. They're too lazy to get real workers to legitimately supervise the site for them. I am genuinely SICK of the amount of crap this website has had to deal with for years. Content creators get bullied left and right for the littlest of nonsense ever since the early 2010s. It's time we stood up to those who are in charge for the sake of preserving what's left of early YouTube. This website needs major change for the better of all content creators. I will not let 10+ years of work on this channel to be put over censorship for political bull that I never asked to be apart of.
I also highly advise everyone who reads this to make sure to download all of the content that you consider nostalgic, including your own work just to be safe, cause God only knows what the hell's coming next.

Sometimes I feel like growing up with YouTube has become a prolonged curse. I remember as a kid I would watch prehistoric tributes and animations while not having to worry about anything aside from copyright lunatics that wanted to take demonetized content down. By the time I made my YouTube channel, YouTube Premium becomes a thing, a stupid algorithm, demonetization becomes a thing for monetized videos, COPPA, the removal of dislikes, another stupid algorithm, YT Shorts, and now...THIS. I'm not bowing down to yet another stupid bot that can only assume a person's age.
It's insane to see how much YouTube has changed, and how much it has genuinely fallen from grace. What the heck happened? I don't remember YouTube being anything like this, and now things have become so horrible to where people need a government ID, a credit card, or even a selfie just to validate their age?! Not only does this invade people's privacy, but this will further detriment YouTube's video and channel history. Older channels that haven't been active in decades (i.e. âŞ@TyrannotitanâŹ) will more than likely be effected by these changes. I don't know if this could eventually mean YT channels like that will be taken down, but either way I'm not going to stand for it.
Clearly, children definitely need some restrictions online, I'm not going to ignore or disagree there. However, these restrictions shouldn't go so far to where it punishes adults like me, my friends, and others out there. The internet should always be free, not inaccessible or censored because of political nonsense or other selfish endeavors. YouTube probably would've never gone down this route if this world had less neglectful parents, and if the idiots running this site stopped hiring weaker, incompetent, lazy morons that will do anything in their power to please people that don't even deserve to have a child to begin with. This is the SAME website that STILL hasn't fixed about anything actually important like missed subscriptions, hackers, scammers, and even inappropriate ads. "For the children" they say....I'm never trusting anybody who makes an excuse like that for something as crazy as internet censorship.
It really is awful to see how bad YouTube has become over the past decade. I really hope that one day Google or just anybody for that matter will come to their senses for once in their lives and actually change this decaying mess of a website and restore what made YouTube so much better back then.

It really does never end...
For those who are unaware, @MatromX had his account hijacked by the same crypto currency/bitcoin hackers that have previously hacked into Dr. Polaris' channel (âŞ@dr.polaris6423âŹ) and âŞ@MDB2KEntertainmentâŹ's original channel. The stream that they typically start upon hijacking lasted for 3 days until this morning when YouTube decided to take it down for violation of guidelines.
Analyzing the whole situation, I can understand how and why this is occurring now. It's one thing to be tricked by what's clearly a scam, but it's bad that YouTube cares more about ads and messing with channel and video links than finding ways to prevent a content creator from getting completely hacked out of their account. This is also Google's fault by extension.
This should not be happening to people who have put years of dedication into building their channels. MatromX has been making animations longer than I have, with uploads being made as early as 2011. That's nearly 15 years of animated projects wiped from YouTube's history, hundreds of videos people consider as nostalgia, and thousands or views and subscribers gone in a matter of 3 days. Fortunately, I have been in contact with MatromX since he was hacked, and he's currently in contact with YouTube to fix this mess, so there's still hope for his channel to come right back!
Either way, YouTube needs to do something about these incidents, otherwise I'll never let things like this go. The downfall of this 20 year website shows, along with the staff's incompetence of not keeping this website respectful and safe for all users. We need new people who know how to legitimately fix what should be considered as actual threatening problems, because clearly, the people currently in charge could care less.

I completely missed these dates somehow, so I apologize for not sharing this earlier.
As of March 17th, and March 20th, it has officially been 10 years since the pilot and episode 1 of âTriassic WarZ: the Ultimate Smackdownâ released. One of my earliest pieces of animation!
Just like the original series, the Triassic WarZ reboot will have a weekly premiere schedule for all 15 episodes once theyâre completed.

No words can describe how furious I am about all of this. One of my favorite educational channels, Dr. Polaris (âŞ@dr.polaris6423âŹ), just got hacked by the same crypto currency/bitcoin hackers that lead to the deletion of my friend's previous YouTube Channel (âŞ@MDB2KEntertainmentâŹ). The devs behind this now broken website need to get their shit together and stop using AI bots to do all of the hard work for their lazy bums.
If it's possible, I'd be grateful if you spread the news to others and hopefully YouTube will notice what's happening and stop ignoring us content creators.

Now that the trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth is confirmed to be out Wednesday, Iâll be uploading my first ever reaction video since 2018. While I was not a fan of the last film, both David Koepp and Gareth Edwards are the only people that are giving me faith for this next film so far, and I hope what we get in this upcoming trailer is good! đđź
