Hey there! My name is Martin. Today is January 7th, 2023 – happy new year to everyone! And we need to talk about YouTube right off the bat, as they’ve shot themselves in the foot again. If you haven’t chosen a custom hand emoji as a regular user, one is assigned to you. Now, there are certain letter or number combinations that could be interpreted as hate speech or contain specific Nazi symbolism. So, you have to be careful not to get your account suspended by YouTube.

However, YouTube has assigned hand emojis that contain such symbolism or numbers without users’ knowledge. This is obviously not good, as many innocent accounts are being deleted en masse. If you still have private accounts or friends who haven’t been made aware, please check what’s in your automatically assigned hand emojis and make sure there’s nothing suspicious. If in doubt, choose something random, but please take a look. Thanks!

If you want more info like this, subscribe to my channel. Every Saturday, I bring you updates, except last Saturday when it was New Year’s Eve. Nothing much happened then. So, let’s continue with a quick update and a preview of what’s coming up next week. On January 10th, I can already reveal that there will be a video. I just can’t tell you yet what it’s about or exactly what will happen, but it will be very, very exciting for those who haven’t started with Shorts yet. Now is a good time to get started. You can figure out the rest.

Many thanks for joining me! See you on the 10th and then again the following Saturday for more news. Thanks a lot, and keep going!
