YouTube age-restricted, demonetized, and suppressed the last version because it contained a single 5-second clip at the end promoting Modern Conflicts that showed Indian and Chinese soldiers facing off at the border. YouTube then rejected my appeal, refused to allow me to edit/blur/clip the segment out, and forced me to eat a massive financial loss by suppressing the entire video in the algorithm and refusing to give me any alternative than deleting the old video and re-uploading this new one with that 5-second clip removed.

Even promoting a small segment of the Modern Conflicts video on Nebula is what nuked the entire older video, and this re-upload has been forced to edit those segments out. YouTube's bureaucracy is incredibly difficult to deal with even for larger creators, and Nebula enables myself and hundreds of other creators to continue producing content we actually want to produce without a fear of outrageous things like this happening to us. It's really great to check out.

Thank you

Everybody gangsta until Mongolia starts to declare it's borders based on historical territory...

As a Portuguese, it scares me that my country is being used as a unit of measurement

[shikharmishra]

As an indian i would like to make a claim on the entirety of mainland china as an integral part of india due to the historical fact that i had schzwan sauce with my noodles last tuesday.

China has border dispute even with Bora Bora islands 😂

[Dr.Kraig_Ren]

Only true real life lore viewers will realize this is a re-upload

I am an Indian and live near china border. Arunachal Pradesh people dont consider themselves Chinese but Indians, China is simply trying to force itself

[anirrbunbanerjee]

There is no border between India and china...India has a border with Tibet but western countries doesn't have the balls to call out the illegal and forced occupation of Tibet

[Serpiente]

Gotta love Youtube's monetization program forcing creators to reupload just to exclude a short clip.

*Sees border dispute between two country's, and wonders what caused it
*looks closer
*The British drew a line again

India's historical borders were with Tibet. Not with China.

Why is China so aggresive…. Next thing you know they will put out a new map claiming they still claim vietname and all of Southeast Asia peninsula/indo China as part of China or something.

[momomomo]

How many disputed territories do you have with neighboring countries?
China: Yes

[paktungstudy]

I'm from arunachal pradesh.. the china claiming arunachal pradesh and naming us south tibet is absurd.
Their capturing tibet is nothing to do with us. We were never under tibetian rule nor we had any relation with tibetian. Only similarity we have is that we have mongoloid apperance.

China's claim to new area in eastern Bhutan is a clear proof of who is on the wrong here. They are claiming land that never belonged to them. Arunachal Pradesh was always part of India and there are no cultural similarities with Tibet whatsoever. Even Jammu and Kashmir is/always was part of India as its former ruler was a Hindu Maharaja. So any claim by Pakistan or China to it is totally ridiculous. Tibet was independent state and was never part of China hence there is no question of China claiming land on Indian side or on Nepal, Bhutan states. It is purely imperialist intention and behaviour of Chinese govt.

China took advantage of a bilateral agreement which stated that neither side would 'Open fire'. Indian soldiers had guns but could not use them, where as Chinese soldiers came with metal rods with nails sticking out of them and club with barbed wire. the came with the intent to cause as much damage as possible and even then we are currently on our 23rd or 27th round of talks to deal with this issue.

If you think its Just India or countries in the neighborhood that have problems with China you'd be mistaken. Argentinian coast guard decided to sink a Chinese vessel fishing in their waters. China was pissed. Also look up to see where Argentina lies in South America.

Ah yes, peak international conflict strategy: if you don't like what's being proposed, simply don't show up and/or never respond

[Elongated_Muskrat]

China claimed the old video too apparently.

Anytime there is a border dispute between any nation, usually the U.K had a hand in creating that problem.
