Zero chance he did this on purpose. Absolutely zero chance.Wait a minute.. you don't think he did this on purpose? He is taking his old RAW content of old VLOGS and re editing it and Re uploading it.
Therefore..he will get to reupload fresh a ton of young/cuter Abbie content...he just said that.
If he loses FatheringAutism on Youtube - the main channel - he has lost hundreds of millions of views.
All of those views contribute to how much he gets paid from ad revenue. All of those views contribute to how much sponsors (few though they may be these days) are willing to pay him.
And all of those views are a major part of how Youtube's algorithm feeds vlogs to viewers, both subscribed and not subscribed.
Not just his new vlogs, either; those old vlogs pop up in recommended videos and he gets paid when people watch them. Let's say he makes (just random round numbers here, real figures are almost certainly higher) $5000 per month posting new vlogs via ad rev. He's got thousands of old vlogs still getting views that bring in $10,000 per month in ad revenue. He's got at least $10k per month coming in without having to do a damn thing just off all his old vlogs. He doesn't need to promote them or edit them or do anything.
There isn't a damn thing in the world that would cause him to give that up.
And that's all gone for right now. If he doesn't get @FatheringAutism back he never gets that kind of money again.
Starting a new channel completely fucks him over in the algorithm department. Great, he'll get like 5000 people subscribed to his stopgap channel? Maybe 10k if he's lucky? That's peanuts. He's not monetized. Once he gets monetized he'll start at the bottom rung of everything pulling in like $13 per new video.
He cannot rebuild his Social Media Enterprise if he doesn't get his main channel back. It's literally not possible for him.
