As far as I am aware, you cannot be terminated simply by inactivity, that's not how YouTube works.

Captain Bulldog wasn't terminated from YouTube for inactivity, but rather an automated claim of "multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy against spam, deceptive practices, and misleading content or other Terms of Service violations" Which is most certainly a miscalculation on YouTube's part. We don't really know what caused this, but it most certainly wasn't due to inactivity.

And if you were subscribed to a channel that has since been terminated, nothing really happens to you except you will no longer be subscribed to them, as their channel no longer exists. Even if the person you are subscribed to has actually done something wrong, it won't effect you in any way.

Of course. One way or another, a YouTube channel is going to become less active to the point where they won't upload anymore. A YouTube channel is forever, assuming it's creator doesn't delete it, or if YouTube doesn't terminate it, like in the case of Captain Bulldog.

This can be an issue. Throughout its run, YouTube has gone through many changes. You might be surprised to hear that YouTube was much more strict in the past. Whilst the worst thing that can happen now when using copyrighted material, like music, is that video being blocked. In the past, the penalty for these sort of things could be as extreme as your entire channel being permanently terminated.

YouTube are always making changes, and when automated bots are in charge of the fate of a channel, a miscalculation, or glitch could be enough to get terminated, and I think that is most likely what happened to Captain Bulldog. There are always glitches going on, like people being automatically unsubscribed from YouTube channels without warning.

In summary, YouTube are quick to make changes that can cause issues, and slow to fix them.

I see.

yes I have. I have taken my mini-figures, and mixed up the heads on them to make new people!!

Plenty of times.

I've made my own custom figures before as you can tell from my avatar. I have a whole bunch of them that I'm going to use for my Star Fox series.

I did that many years ago, painted heads and bodies, glued foil onto arms to get armored gauntlets, etched a design into a red plastic cape.... Very crudely done as I was probably 13 or 14 at the time.

• My best animation animation-wise is probably my latest film.

• Most popular minifigure in my animations is Batman.

• The animations I tend to make contain franchises but I am working on some original ideas.

• If there was an app that allows you to make custom minifigures, I would make a better version of my minifigure, which would contain a smiling head with glasses and eyebrows and a custom torso with a Rush t-shirt.

• My channel began in 2015.

• My most viewed brickfilm is Buddy and the Fake Santa.

Here's my brickfilm history. (contains videos that aren't uploaded)

1. Lego Superman Vs The Robot (2012) - first brickfilm.
7. Lego Galactic Officers (2013) - first brickfilm at 10 fps (others were 1fps lol).
8. The Chicken Sandwich - first brickfilm collaboration, first brickfilm with songs, voices, and a voice actor.
9. Lego Clone Squad - first brickfilm with dialogue (not actual words though) and pacing.

16. Mark 10 The Rich Young Ruler (2015) - first contest winner, first brickfilm on YouTube.
17. Lego Batman Aqua Knight of Atlantis - first long brickfilm and brickfilm with my music.
18. Lego Kenobi Vs. Grievous - First brickfilm using Stop Motion Studio, first brickfilm at 14 fps, first movie recreation, first brickfilm using movie soundbites.

25. Lego Batman short - first brickfilm viewed by like a thousand people at once, first brickfilm to get a trophy, first commission, first brickfilm that composites images over stop-motion, first brickfilm with copyright music.
29. Lego Batman and the Popsicle - first brickfilm in another language.

phew, that was rough

• What I will predict will happen to my content in the 2020s is that it will grow or die.

• The series that is active is my Lego Space Police series, but barely cause I have one episode.

• If some brickfilmer I subbed to ceased to make content and was taken down, then I would either forget about them or track them down through other social medias and mourn.

• Have I ever invented your own Minifigure for your Brickfilms? Yes.
