abe-101on Ask HN: Help? My YouTube channel was suspended

Update: upon submitting an appeal to YouTube I got a response within 24 hours saying "We have re-reviewed your account and have concluded that it is not in violation of our Terms of Service. Therefore, we have unsuspended your account."

So now you can watch the video :) https://youtu.be/HBk-0wRGqHY

Thank you all for the tips

abe-101on Ask HN: Help? My YouTube channel was suspended

I'm curious what your workflow is like? How do YouTube content creators get their content over to podcasts?

I have yet to find a working paid service that does it

abe-101on Ask HN: Help? My YouTube channel was suspended

I like your analogy. I actually had a very positive experience with GitHub. They warned me that the above mention action violated their TOS. My understanding of the problem is that it use's GitHub action as a "free" cloud service when it only meant for testing and deployment... So I created this tool which accomplishes the same thing from just on your local machine.

I do enjoy using my creativity to build things

abe-101on Ask HN: Help? My YouTube channel was suspended

YouTube was "kind" enough to notify me in email and give me the option to appeal. To which I did.

How would hosting the python script elsewhere help?

abe-101on Ask HN: Help? My YouTube channel was suspended

The tool does use yd-dlp which is a fork of youtube-dl That could be the reason it was suspended

abe-101on Ask HN: Help? My YouTube channel was suspended

Thank you for putting a link to the project. I realized now that I mistakenly left that out.

abe-101on Ask HN: Help? My YouTube channel was suspended

Interestingly enough part of this project is taken from https://github.com/Schrodinger-Hat/youtube-to-anchorfm whichh also converts YouTube videos into Anchor FM podcasts but does so in a Docker container in github actions. That clearly violates GitHubs TOS:

  "Actions should not be used for any activity unrelated to the
  production, testing, deployment, or publication of the software
  project associated with the repository where GitHub Actions are
  used."

You have a valid point. It can see how this tool can be used with malicious intent.

I built it for a local learning organization that streams their lectures on YouTube. They approached me to help them get their content over to podcast. The tool did the job and eliminated many hours of tedious manual work

abe-101on Ask HN: Who needs help with side projects?

I recently published a command-line tool written in python that'll convert a YouTube video into a Podcast (anchor.fm)

https://pypi.org/project/tube-cast

Under the hood the tool uses yd-dlp to download the video and pyppeteer to publish it on the site anchor.fm as a podcast.

I could use help with documentation and testing
