Hey everyone! I'm very sorry for the mysterious disappearance over the past few weeks. Thank you so much for all the messages of concern, and for checking in on me. That is greatly appreciated. On a personal level (health etc.) I am absolutely fine. Unfortunately, the reason for my absence, is that I've been tangled up arguing with RU-vid (again). For some inexplicable reason they don't like the way I create my content. Apparently it's an issue that I code all of my games myself. It's perfectly cool for others to use 3rd party software to quickly crank out videos (including music trivia), but apparently spending hundreds of hours to custom code my own quizzes is a problem. It truly boggles my mind. Since day one of starting this channel I have gone out of my way to create a music trivia experience that is completely different from anything else you can find on RU-vid (or anywhere else). It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but many (you guys!) do embrace the challenge/interactivity, and together I think we've built an amazing community of diehard music trivia fans. Unfortunately, in this case, RU-vid has decided they are going to play gatekeeper. I guess you, the viewers, don't get to decide what sort of content you like. They'll take care of that for you. I'm not exactly sure what they think they are protecting you from, but rest assured they are on the job! Anyways, as you can tell I'm very frustrated, but this is already a long rant, so I won't go on. The upshot is that I won't be creating any more music trivia for the time being, I guess. I'm extremely disappointed as this has been a long time passion project for me, and I've absolutely loved the chance to connect with you, my fellow music trivia diehards, every week. I will really miss it. I will continue to brainstorm and see if there is a way to bring back the channel in some way in the future. In the meantime all the best to you and your families. Thanks so much for supporting the channel and playing the games each week. I hope you had as much fun with them as I did. Friday nights just won't seem the same without you guys. ☹ Cheers, MM
We are sure going to miss you AGAIN!! Is there any way we can help fight the fight against RU-vid!? What if you make your own website for trivia?! I’m so so sad we won’t get to have your weekly games and so sorry you’re going through this again! I told Paul two weeks ago, I said I bet it’s the stupid RU-vid rules again and he’s back in a fight with them.
if you had any interest in creating a patreon, I would absolutely subscribe. I'm sure others would as well. This is mine and my girlfriend's weekly routine lol.
We are sorry to hear this is happening to you. But, we are also glad to hear that you are physically ok. Thanks for the update, and will hope that something shifts to where you can continue to do these.
glad to hear you are okay, you really have built such a beautiful little community and it’s a shame that youtube feel the need to try mess that up. hopefully you manage to find a way to make things work and are able to continue making quizzes in the future at some point i’ll definitely be keeping an eye on the channel for if that day comes. best wishes.
Wondering if the backwards song was Self Esteem by Offspring? Well we blew our perfect score lol!! We finally got stumped on a rap song 🎵 hehe 😅 thanks again for a FUN time. Always enjoy your trivia game with some incredibly fun music 🎶 🎉
RU-vid is such a pain in the ass. Your videos are like my favorite thing to do when I get off work on Fridays. Perhaps you can start some kind of patreon or something. I would pay a few bucks a month for music trivia
@@madmartiganstriviaThanks! Ahhh, of course. I can hear it a bit now! You as well, looking forward to the next quiz. Loving the new categories each video :)
“I listened to the first track and then I turned it off and put on Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion because I felt old and afraid and now I feel safe.” Copacetic!
Did you run into a problem with the Reused and repetitious content policy - lots of channels are being demonetized for that right now. One fix is to show your face during the game play, I know no one wants to do that but YT tends to grant monetization to channels that show a human face ...
My bad, sorry! He was definitely on the list, but I had used both Danger Zone and Footloose in recent quizzes. I'm Alright from Caddyshack would have been another option though. Next time!
@madmartiganstrivia I'm free which was footloose or meet me halfway from over the top :p I do want to add I hear so many of these songs and cuss because I know it but can't place the damn name lol
