WORST DAY OF MY LIFE
My life’s work has been taken away from me.
My YouTube channel was terminated yesterday, with over 600,000 subscribers.
Since 2017, I’ve uploaded more than 4,000 videos to The Moon Show, covering Bitcoin.
Building this channel has required years of relentless work, sacrifice, and dedication.
I’ve had the privilege of sharing my journey and analysis with an incredible community.
Yesterday, @YouTube took this away from me…
My team and I are doing everything possible from our side.
I urgently ask @TeamYouTube and @YouTubeCreators to manually investigate, help secure the account, and reinstate The Moon Show.
More than 4,000 videos and nearly a decade of my life are tied to this channel.
Please help me get it back.
RETWEET PLEASE!!!
I really didn’t want this to become a public situation, and I’ve tried for over 90 days to resolve it privately through YouTube Support. But at this point I need @TeamYouTube to take a serious look at what has happened.
The situation started when a channel I was not actively using — and which had no public videos at the time — was flagged for “duplicate content.” That enforcement then affected my other channels through YouTube’s related-channel policy, including the main channels I actually rely on.
For the last three months, I have followed the guidance I was given and worked to resolve the original issue. I rebuilt the affected channel from scratch with new, original content, personally researched, recorded and edited specifically for that channel.
I reapplied to YPP and later submitted a detailed video appeal showing my actual production setup, DaVinci Resolve projects, editing workflow, and examples of the published videos. The appeal was still rejected with only the generic explanation: “Violations of the YouTube monetization policies.”
I have carefully reviewed the current channel against YouTube’s monetization policies, Community Guidelines, Terms of Service and copyright requirements, and I genuinely cannot identify what the current content is supposedly violating.
After more than 90 days of trying to fix this, I am now being told to wait another 90 days.
I’ve been creating on YouTube for over 10 years. I’m not asking for special treatment — I’m asking for someone at @TeamYouTube to carefully review the current state of the channel and the evidence I submitted, and help me understand what is actually wrong so this can finally be resolved.
I received a copyright strike over THREE SECONDS of a Joe Rogan clip which makes sense but it’s an easy appeal HOWEVER..
I did some digging and the company that filed it appears to have nothing to do with Joe Rogan.
They’re based in California, have hundreds of negative reviews and tons of complaints from people describing similar situations.
Apparently, the scam is to hit creators with copyright strikes and then demand payment to remove them.
How is YouTube allowing this to happen?
Dear @TeamYouTube thank you for unlocking my YouTube channel. The ban lasted 2.5 weeks after my appeal was rejected. Yesterday, justice finally prevailed. Please work on your automated system for channel removals. Many creators are having their channels deleted unfairly. It is very difficult to run a business under these conditions. As creators, we need transparency and fairness. I hope my voice will be heard and that we can make YouTube better for original content creators. Thank you.
For most youtubers out there, Kicks is becoming good alternative to youtube. https://t.co/nsMFVQEhKR

After 81 Days… My Channel Was Restored ❤️
My channel was restored on August 31, 2026, after it was removed on June 11, 2026.
81 full days of waiting, anxiety, trying, frustration… and finally, I received the result I had been waiting for since day one:
My channel was reviewed, my appeal was accepted, and my channel was restored.
I want to share what happened to me, not only to tell my story, but because I want to say something to everyone who is going through the same experience right now:
Do not give up. Even if the wait gets long, that does not mean everything is over.
How did this story begin?
On June 11, I was editing the pinned comments on some of my videos.
Just a few minutes later…
My channel was removed.
I immediately submitted an appeal and started waiting.
One day…
Two days…
Three…
Four…
And there was still no response from YouTube.
I then started contacting the YouTube Creator Support team, and I think many of you already know exactly what this experience is like…
Links to policies, generic answers, and phrases like:
“Please be patient.”
“The relevant team is reviewing your case.”
“Please wait until the review is completed.”
But the problem was that I was sometimes receiving completely conflicting information.
At one point, they told me the review was completed.
Then they told me the internal team was still investigating my channel.
Another time, they told me to keep waiting.
And another time, they told me that submitting multiple appeals was the reason for the delay.
I was stuck in the middle of all of this, with no clear idea of what was actually happening to my channel.
And honestly…
I don't want to remember this part too much.
I moved to X
After that, I decided to try reaching the YouTube team through X.
I created an account and started posting.
One post…
Then I waited a day.
Two days…
No response.
I posted again…
And waited.
Eventually, I received a response.
They contacted me through DMs and asked me to provide all the information and explain why I believed the channel removal decision was incorrect.
I prepared my message in detail and sent it to them.
Then another waiting period began.
One day…
Two days…
Three…
And eventually, the response came:
“Our internal team reviewed your channel, and the channel is in violation of YouTube’s policies.”
That was when I started feeling like I was going around in circles.
81 Days of Pressure
During this period, I contacted YouTube Support so many times, both through X and through Creator Support.
Unfortunately, I couldn't reach a clear solution.
Sometimes I received different information, and I had no idea what I was supposed to believe.
This continued for 81 days.
And I don't want to hide the impact this period had on me.
There was a huge amount of stress, exhaustion, constant overthinking, tension, headaches, and I gradually lost interest in work.
I would turn on my computer…
Then turn it off.
Because I no longer knew what I could do.
Even sleep wasn't really a break.
I would go to sleep thinking about my channel, and wake up thinking about it.
And the same question kept repeating in my mind every single day:
Will my channel come back, or is everything over?
But on Day 70, I decided to change the way I was dealing with the problem.
Instead of simply waiting, I started taking more organized and serious action.
1️⃣ I created and verified an X account
I wanted a way to reach a larger number of people whenever I talked about my situation.
And having the blue verification badge helped me reach a much larger audience whenever I posted something new.
2️⃣ I started following creators facing similar problems
Channels that had been removed, creators who had lost monetization, and people dealing with issues involving YouTube's systems.
I interacted with their posts, liked them, shared their posts, and tried to become part of the community of people facing similar problems.
3️⃣ I started speaking publicly about my case
I posted about my situation, explained why I believed the removal of my channel was wrong, and why I believed there was a problem with the automated review system.
If you want to know the details, you can go back and look at my previous posts.
4️⃣ I started sharing the responses I was receiving
I shared some of the responses I received from Creator Support and explained why I didn't believe those responses were sufficient.
Sometimes I expressed my frustration and criticism very strongly, but I was careful not to turn it into insults or abuse.
5️⃣ I changed the way I communicated with YouTube
This was one of the most important steps.
Instead of simply saying:
“My channel does not violate the policies.”
I started collecting YouTube's Spam policies and reviewing them point by point.
I explained the nature of my channel's content in detail and explained why I believed each section of the policy used in the decision did not apply to the content I was publishing.
I was trying to turn the case from simply:
“Please restore my channel.”
Into:
“This is the policy. This is my content. And these are the reasons why I believe this policy does not apply to my channel.”
Even then, when I didn't get a result, the same responses continued.
6️⃣ I started talking about legal escalation
I made it clear that if the issue wasn't resolved, I would have to seek legal assistance and pursue the matter through the official legal channels available to me, because I believed I had evidence supporting my position that the channel had been removed incorrectly.
My goal was not to start a fight.
My goal was simply to say:
I will not stop defending my work.
Then what I had been waiting for finally happened…
My posts started reaching a decent number of people, and some of them exceeded 10,000 impressions.
Then came the morning of August 31, 2026.
I woke up…
I checked my channel.
And there it was:
My channel was back.
It had been reviewed.
My appeal had been accepted.
After waiting for 81 days.
After 81 days of not knowing whether my channel would ever come back…
It came back. ❤️
But I learned something more important than the restoration of my channel itself.
And please, don't stop reading here.
During this experience, I realized that there are a huge number of creators facing similar problems.
Channels being removed.
Channels losing monetization.
Accounts stuck in long reviews.
And creators who don't know where to turn or who they should even talk to.
And I believe one of the biggest mistakes we make is this:
Everyone tries to fight this battle alone. And that is the biggest mistake.
YouTube is a massive platform. Hundreds of thousands of channels are removed, and a large portion of those removals are justified.
But that makes it even more important to understand that you shouldn't have to face a difficult situation completely alone.
When you face a major problem with a massive platform while standing alone, it's very easy to feel powerless.
You will get tired.
You will become frustrated.
You will start thinking about giving up.
But what if we weren't alone?
What if we brought together the people facing the same problems?
What if you created a real community where creators could exchange information, experiences, and ways of communicating with YouTube, while helping each other find actual solutions?
If you enter this battle alone, it will be much harder. Do something.
Create groups that bring together creators who believe their channels were removed incorrectly.
Imagine if 100 people posted about the same creator's case.
Wouldn't that make it much easier for the case to reach a real YouTube team member who could actually review that channel's situation?
Try it.
Just 100 people.
Help make that channel trend on X.
And when that creator's problem is resolved, move on to another creator and do the same thing again.
This is a solution. You can do it.
I used to think YouTube was simply being unfair.
But after my experience, I believe something different:
YouTube can be fair — you just need to reach a real human being.
If you're completely alone, the chance of reaching the right person can be very small.
But if you are part of a group working together, your voice becomes much harder to ignore.
This is the idea I believe in now.
Don't turn your experience into a tragedy that you have to live through alone.
Turn it into an experience that helps someone else.
If you have experienced a channel removal, demonetization, or a similar problem and you genuinely believe it happened by mistake, don't think that your story doesn't matter.
Your story might be exactly what someone else needs to hear so they don't give up.
And I want to say this to everyone who is still waiting:
If your channel was removed and you genuinely believe there was a mistake…
Don't give up.
If you've been waiting for days or weeks…
Don't assume that everything is over.
If you've received automated responses or answers that haven't helped you…
Look for other ways to communicate, document your case, understand the policies, and explain your position clearly.
Defend your rights respectfully, with evidence, and through the official channels available to you.
I waited 81 days.
And in the end…
My channel came back.
So if you're reading this right now and your channel is still suspended or was removed in a way you genuinely believe was incorrect, I want you to remember one thing:
Don't let 81 days of waiting convince you that everything is over.
Sometimes, what you see in the middle of the road is not the end of the journey.
Keep going. Try again. Learn. Document your case. Ask for help. And help others.
Because one day, you might open your channel again…
And see the message you've been waiting for all this time:
Your channel has been reinstated. ❤️
And from there…
You start again.
Creators have been complaining for a long time, and their concerns have finally reached federal authorities.
YouTube has been terminating creators’ accounts with little to no explanation and seemingly no reliable system for resolving mistakes.
Now, the FTC is reportedly preparing a lawsuit against YouTube over allegations that the platform misled users about its content policies before suspending their accounts.
Meta also recently lost a multibillion-dollar lawsuit. No matter how you feel about Trump, his administration appears serious about holding Big Tech accountable when these companies allegedly mistreat their users.
What do you think about this?
YouTube creators can lose years of work in an instant.
Permanent termination should be a last resort not the first response.
Here’s what must change:
1️⃣ Right to Clear Warnings
No permanent termination without clear, specific warnings whenever appropriate.
2️⃣ Right to Fix Mistakes
Give creators a reasonable opportunity to correct policy violations before permanently deleting years of work.
3️⃣ Meaningful Human Review
Every creator deserves a genuine human review before a permanent termination whenever possible.
4️⃣ Fair Enforcement Principles:
→ Assume Good Faith: Treat honest creators as honest until proven otherwise.
→ Context Matters: Consider a creator’s overall history, not just a short period or isolated issue.
→ Consistency for All: Similar cases should receive similar treatment.
→ Proportional Enforcement: Permanent termination should match the severity of the violation.
Until YouTube adopts these principles, every creator is one enforcement decision away from losing everything they’ve built.
If you believe creators deserve fair treatment:
✅ REPOST – this matters most.
✅ LIKE – helps spread further.
✅ TAG @TeamYouTube & creators who should see this.

List of missing youtube channels
https://t.co/mmq8J0f6r1
I still haven't gotten back into the YPP, Open up studio today and get this.. Yeah 18 years! A milestone, but still haven't gotten my Monetization back yet. I was wrongly removed from the YPP in April, its been a very long and rough couple of months for me. I have still not had an update on anything from @TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators @YouTube
I'm still excited to hit this milestone, but right now everything that's going on its hard to celebrate it. I just wish I could have a human look into this and fix it. My community has been missing my regular upload schedule ♥️
Hi @TeamYouTube.My 350K subscriber channel was terminated for Spam, deceptive practices and scams,but I only uploaded original Standoff2 gameplay that I recorded and edited myself. My appeals were rejected without explaining the violation.Please conduct a manual review.Thank you
YouTube don't care about small creators.
The screenshot is mine, same channel. It feels like they give you a glimpse of what could have been and then take it all away.
When a small creator gets terminated or demonetized, there is very little they can do. Appeals are rejected quickly, support is extremely limited, and most responses feel automated in any place you'd try to write.
Today, @TeamYouTube told me on X that they would send me a DM. Just one minute later, they replied saying that the decision still stands.
It doesn't feel like anyone actually reviewed anything.
Visibility seems to matter. I've seen larger creators get issues resolved the same day, while smaller creators struggle to get a real human review.
If you're currently fighting a wrongful termination or demonetization, I genuinely hope you get your channel back. Unfortunately, that hasn't been my experience.
I hope more large creators speak up about these issues and help smaller creators get their voices heard. @MrBeast @RyanTrahan @sssniperwolf @ishowspeedsui
I dedicated my life to build my channel (45K subs), and @TeamYouTube deleted it in one second with an automated bot. No human review at all. They have no idea how much this hurts someone who is truly dedicated. So inconsiderate and unfair...💔
@Cap5612 I haven't seen much changes yet. Still no access to my channel. Few other creators still don't have access to their channel and stolen revenue @nealmohan @TeamYouTube
So many authentic channels got demonetised lately, and after 40 days of waiting, my channel finally got remonetised too.
A lot of you were asking how I did it, so honestly I don’t want to do engagement farming around this situation, but I’ll share exactly what happened in my case.
My channel got demonetised on 22nd April. After that, I kept appealing again and again, but YouTube rejected it every time. On mail, they kept saying that they had already done a human review and my channel would not be remonetised. I got the same template response repeatedly.
Later, they even stopped replying to my emails completely.
The frustrating part was that I shared everything:
•my full production process
•timelines
•editing workflow
•even timelapses of my work
But it still kept getting rejected.
Then I started seeing some creators getting remonetised, so I began tagging @teamyoutube again under my posts. And yes, in many of those posts I openly criticised their AI moderation system too.
They kept replying:
“Please continue the conversation on email.”
But the funny thing was… nobody was replying to the emails for almost 25 days.
Then in my last post, I uploaded one of my original videos and quoted:
“This is what YouTube flagged as inauthentic.”
Again, TeamYouTube replied with the same mail response. I mailed them once more… and then suddenly, just 1 day later, I received the email saying my channel had been accepted back into YPP.
So if I can give any advice:
If your content is genuinely original, don’t give up too early.
Keep appealing.
Keep posting.
Keep tagging @teamyoutube
None of my posts even went viral or got reposted by big creators, but I still kept trying consistently.
That’s honestly the only thing that worked for me.
After 3 years of building, my YouTube channel @KevisStrats (30K+ subs) just got terminated.
I was posting educational content helping people build their own channels. No warnings, no strikes, just gone.
Need this to reach @YouTube /
@TeamYouTube - please RT n comment 🙏
