YouTube deletes wholesome Black Family off platform (So in Love Family)

A family of 4 who's YouTube channel has reached over 500 million views on YouTube has been deleted from the platform. Leaving the family wondering why....


 

 

My family has been making wholesome family videos on YouTube since 2011. Many families have credited us with inspiring them to create their own channels on YouTube. The other day I received a notification from YouTube stating that my So in Love Family channel with over 5000 videos and precious moments throughout my life as a parent was deleted! Moments like my child's first steps, first words, birthday surprises, Christmas videos, baseball and basketball games are now all removed.
 

 

 
 
This has caused me much emotional distress as I not only have lost many precious memories, but also try to continue providing for my family while we are all dealing with this Covid-19 outbreak across the world.
 
As trying as these times are I'm actually no stranger to trying times. In 2013 my wife and I lost a child during preterm labor at 22 weeks gestation. In 2015 we tried again and birthed a 24 week micro preemie who spent 6 months in the hospital NICU before we could take him home. Over that time he endured 5 surgeries. He has required special needs since being home. In June of 2021 we lost another child during preterm labor at 22 weeks gestation. It was a really tough pregnancy and traumatic seeing my wife not only spend weeks in the hospital but also endure so much pain and not come home with a baby as a reward for the pain.

 

 
My family has had videos from our So in Love Family youtube channel used in commercials for Oreo, MLB, Nickelodeon & Google Cloud. Our fans have faithfully watched our content for years. This has helped us grow our channel to over 500 Million viewers.
I do not understand what a channel which is celebrated and loved by the people has done to warrant deletion from the youtube platform. (Especially without any prior warning)
 
Moving forward I no longer feel secure with my relationship with YouTube to rely on their platform as a source of revenue which can provide for my family. As a result we now will be posting our videos on https://silf.club/soinlovefamily and
Please support by subscribing to a monthly membership on our channels.
 
We also would like to create an original Netflix ready docuseries on our family.
We believe this project will touch many lives and give hope and inspiration for those who have experienced child loss, death, tragedy, marriage issues, depression, or had to overcome growing up in poverty.
 
We are looking to raise a budget which would cover the following:
Studio Space, Cinematographers, Editors, Netflix Approved Camera, Actors, Travel,etc.
 
We'd like to raise $25000+ to get this project produced. Any help is appreciated. Top Donors will be listed in the closing credits of the Docuseries. Thank you in advance! So in Love Family
