Angry because his single YouTube video on how to get rich quickly had been taken down, 33-year-old Kyle Long drove more than 3,300 miles from his home in Waterville, Maine, to Google’s headquarters in California, intent on convincing the tech giant to restore his account.
But what Long didn’t know, relatives told BuzzFeed News, was that the video and his account had been deleted not by YouTube, but his wife. Concerned about his mental state, she deleted the “rambling” and “bizarre” video.
“I just didn’t tell him it was me taking it down because I didn’t want him losing his shit in front of my kids,” Samantha Long, his wife, told BuzzFeed News. “He was mad initially, but I said I didn’t know what happened.”
