Ok friends, I'm at a crossroads and I need your input... I want to continue bringing OTR content to YouTube, hosting live streams, and building out a community of radio lovers but I can't because YouTube is preventing me from monetizing the channel. I'm blocked because of "content reuse" since I'm not the only one uploading old time radio to YouTube. I've tried to tell them that I do better curation and that I've created original visuals for all my content but YouTube has said that unless I delete the catalog of radio shows I won't be able to join the partner program and use their monetization tools which would make a channel like this sustainable. Even though all this content available for free through my podcasts (otrpodcasts.com), I'm hesitant to delete any of my past videos because of how much you enjoy them and for the great comments many have shared. Which brings me to my question... What would you prefer I do?

Remove catalog & do more original content (e.g. OTR livestreams).
Leave it as is, I enjoy what you've got and I don't need more.
Other (leave a comments on this poll with your alternative idea).
