Have you ever had a YouTube channel ?

To begin with, if you have a YouTube account, you have a YouTube channel. (this is an answer to your title)

I used to upload videos to my YouTube channel. I mostly did tutorials. So for example I needed help with something in Windows Media Maker. All I could find was 7 minute long tutorials that wasted your time.

So, I would find the guts of these tutorials, then I would do the task myself, then I would do a 2 minute tutorial for the same thing, so that people didn't have to sit through 5 minutes of nothing.

Then along comes the FCC. Because of people abusing video uploads and who can see those videos (made for kids/not made for kids) the FCC has decided to enforce a law signed by then President Clinton. The name of this law is COPPA. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.

Long story short, if you upload a video made for kids and the algorithm thinks the video is not made for kids, you can be fined $42,000.00 USD. So, I have since removed my videos, and only have the same 4 or 5 uploaded videos that deal with mostly gaming no commentary and a white noise video.

I can't afford $42,000.00 USD, and since the people who operate YouTube were doing absolutely nothing to help out its users, I don't need to upload videos.

It's fun and you can be creative how you want. But I won't go near draconian laws. (even though my work now has draconian rules in place).
