The fastest way to grow a new channel:
Find a video in your niche with 500K+ views
but was uploaded 3+ years ago.
Make a updated better version of that exact video.
People are still searching that topic.
Nobody is serving it fresh.
You just found a gap 🎯
An open letter to YouTube.
We need to talk.
Creators are waking up to terminated channels, wiped revenues, and years of work gone overnight. No warning. No explanation. No appeal that actually works.
So on behalf of every creator who has ever put their life into this platform, here are our demands.
1. Tell us WHY.
A termination email with zero context is not a policy. If you are going to end someone's livelihood, the least you can do is explain what they actually did wrong.
2. Fix the appeals process.
Right now appealing a strike feels like shouting into a void. An automated rejection in 24 hours is not a review. We want real humans making real decisions.
3. Stop punishing whole channels for one video.
One bad upload should not erase five years of content. Strike the video. Don't delete the creator.
4. Give us a warning before termination.
A strike system exists for a reason. Use it. Creators should not be going from zero issues to fully terminated with no steps in between.
5. Be transparent about what is changing.
Every few months the rules quietly shift and channels start disappearing. Tell us what changed. We are not mind readers.
6. Protect the creators who built this platform.
YouTube would not exist without creators. The people losing their channels right now are not bad actors. Many of them are the reason people still open the app.
We are not asking for special treatment.
We are asking to be treated like partners, not liabilities.

The most infuriating sight!!! A policeman gruesomely murders a man in broad daylight in Delta. This man is clearly restrained and poses no threat whatsoever. What kind of ANIMALISTIC behaviour is this @PoliceNG ?!!!
Whenever YouTube pushes a new feature, they promote the sh*t out of it in their algorithm
Meaning you NEED to use it immediately if you want that boost
For example, they just updated thumbnail size limits from 2MB to 50MB
Because TV is now YouTube's biggest traffic source and they're pushing it HARD
If you have 50%+ TV viewers (check your analytics), you need to start uploading 4K thumbnails right now
This is the same thing they did with community posts a few years ago. Early adopters got insane reach because YouTube was promoting the feature to prove it worked
Please don't sleep on this
Upgrade your thumbnail quality asap, especially if your audience is watching on TV
Here's some tips:
Make sure you're in a good niche (over saturation could cook you)
Consider making your videos with AI (better margins + more efficient)
Try meeting friends in the space (learn faster)
Good luck with everything 🫡
