The Sunday
Hermes can't post for two weeks. Tonight, he stars on the biggest channel in Olympus.
Stay her Sunday star and go live on her stage on day thirty, risking both channels, or cut himself out of her live and risk losing his new fans?
Comment STAY or CUT on the episode. Instagram, TikTok and YouTube all count.

You voted, and JOIN won. You sent a frozen god to her stage, and he ran. November eighth, 6 p.m., high above Olympus, in Aphrodite's chariot pulled by sparrows. Your mother said no, darling, she purrs. So I get you. Every Sunday. Every Sunday? Hermes laughs. I've got two left. Sign me up.
At the top of the page, his face, in gold. Hers sits below it. At 7 p.m., her live: four million watch him, center stage. That voicemail? Fake, he jokes. I've never sounded that honest. By eight, four thousand new followers. For the first time since Friday, he isn't last.
So why does Athena call at 8:01? Prominently featured, Hermes. She burns with you. Here is the trap: on YouTube, when your channel is restricted, you're prohibited from using another channel to get around it. Breaking that can get all your channels terminated, and any channel in which you are repeatedly or prominently featured.
At ten, her live goes black in the middle of a sentence. Her channel: under review. Stay my Sunday star, Aphrodite says. Or I cut you out.
Now the choice: stay, and day thirty is on her stage, and both channels can end. Cut, and he vanishes from her live, and his new fans may go too. And here is what Hermes doesn't know: at midnight, the last line on Zeus's board moves again. One follower above him.
No other channel while you're restricted
YouTube says that when it restricts a creator, they're prohibited from using, creating, or acquiring another channel to get around these restrictions, for as long as the restriction remains active on their channel.
The channel that features you can fall too
Violating that prohibition may result in termination of all your existing YouTube channels, any new channels you create or acquire, and channels in which you are repeatedly or prominently featured.
Why he can't post
A second Community Guidelines strike within the same 90-day period as the first means you will not be allowed to post content for 2 weeks. Hermes got his second on day twenty-two.
