Hey everyone,
 
I wonder if someone else is having that problem.
 
For the charity livestream I signed up for whatnot. Besides the fact, that everything on that service is as sketchy as it can be, everything there is half-baked at best - which resulted in me immediately removing/deleting my account.
 
So - here's the Problems I have from that excurse.
 
A) They still send me login confirmation mails/SMS
will block them after they replayed to my mail I sent them about Problem B - no biggie, just waste of energy.
 
B) They seem to have shared my Number with a Spammer
The day after the Stream I started receiving Spam SMS at least once a day. All but one are marked as spam by Android so far.
But how do I know they are responsible for this? - I am very adamant about giving my phone number to others, I even carry a burner prepaid number for sketchy services where I just change the number/sim if this started. - For some reason I did not use that number for signing up on Whatnot (I probably pre-trusted them as LTT is using the service) and used my main number.
I successfully avoided receiving spam on that number for >10 Years now. As I did not signed up or used that number for anything new the last few month. So it easy to pin-point to them.
 
 
 
Besides this (i have no other prove than the timing), the whole service is at least as slimy and sketchy as a backroom porn site. Please never use that service again.

This is an excellent explanation of how these things work. 
 
I'd like to add that as long as the creator who gets the automated claim disputes it in a timely manner, there is no lost revenue during the period while it was "claimed". 
 
I've been down at IBM Think for the last couple of days and this thread is the first I'm hearing of this issue.. Aaaand it's already resolved. 
 
So, as far as I can tell, everything is working as it should...ish
 
We have noticed a significant uptick in copyright claims in the last couple of weeks, though, with some of them being in really really old content which suggests youtube has made some kind of change to ContentID and we've been trying to figure out how to address it.
 
We are generally pretty supportive of the creation of derivative works by our community and we want to make sure that they aren't being algorithmically claimed, but this change has caused other issues for us too. I woke up the other morning to a handful of claims made against Tech Quickie by LTT... Can't have that. 
 
I'm sure this will be resolved, but it's probably going to take some time for youtube to get their crap in order, as usual. 

As you may have heard we'll be moving all subscriptions off the LTT Forums and on to Floatplane.com. You will no longer be able to subscribe through the forum AND all billing agreements made through the forum will be cut off. At this time we request that all users cancel their subscriptions on the forum and start new subscriptions on Floatplane.com.
 
Subscriptions done through the forum have been a major accounting problem for a long time now as the forums billing agreements have all been with Linus Media Group instead of Floatplane media which is an accounting nightmare that we are going to try to avoid in 2019.
 
As a gift for dealing with the hassle of migrating things over, and to cover any time you had left on your subscription, we will be granting two bonus months to all creators that you are subscribed to on Floatplane.com AND you’ll gain access to an exclusive live chat emoji all on January 31st.
 
Steps to migrate successfully:
1) Cancel your subscription on the LTT Forum 

Method 1, Cancelling through the Forum:
  Hide contents  
Go to this link: https://linustechtips.com/main/clients/billing-agreements/
click view details(on the right)
Click on view(on the right)
Then click cancel(on the left)
 
These steps are correct for most people but sometimes the cancel button is sneaky and decides to be somewhere else or isn't there at all.. This is another reason we are moving away from the LTT forums as we can't fix some of the payments problems. If these steps don't work for you please move on to Method 2.
 

Method 2, Cancelling through PayPal:
  Hide contents  
Go to this link: https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/autopay/
Scroll through your active autopays and click on 'Linus'.
On the right hand side there should be a Status row that shows 'Active'  Click the 'Cancel' Button beside it.
Click 'Cancel Automatic Payments' on the next popup.
If this fails for whatever reason.. Move on to method 3.
 
 
Method 3(Last Resort), Sudo cancel subscription:
  Hide contents  
Send an email to support@floatplane.com
Let them know your forum Username/Email and they'll take care of you. Just a heads up that the wait time will be higher than normal as we are receiving a lot of support tickets right now.
 
 
2) Create or sign in to your existing Floatplane.com account, you can use a forum linked account, that's no problem at all. 
 
3) Subscribe to whatever creators you want to support. https://www.floatplane.com/browse
 
4) Sit back and enjoy the content!
 
5) If you had a yearly subscription – Please send an email to support@floatplane.com with your forum account name and your floatplane account name. They will make sure you get the time you had remaining on your forum subscription added to your new floatplane website subscription.

Yearly options on the new site are not available at this time but will be soon. 
 
If all else fails.. Just send an email to support@floatplane.com with any relevant account names, emails, etc. and we'll have you taken care as soon as possible!
 
Thanks!
