Just like that, all of my videos earned ZERO dollars. Customer support said they will check and get back to me. After all of the #invalidtraffic nonsense, I am so frustrated. I believe I've invested 3 years into a platform that isn't dependable for me

"Invalid traffic"
Dear @YouTube & @AdSense
Your creator @nico_jeannen got demonetized after your algorithm made his last video go viral.
Can a real person review his account thoroughly?
Content creation is our life. Show us you care.
I saw Jennifer's tweets about Invalid Traffic too many times. Many creators have second thoughts about YouTube just because of the Invalid Traffic issue. I cannot imagine what she has been going through for weeks. Could you please hear the creators who spent years on their content? @YouTubeLiaison@TeamYouTube

YouTube Hits the Antenna Man with Invalid Traffic.. Once again another creator is impacted with zero explanation from YouTube management: https://t.co/Nlb6SikHkN
I wonder if it’s this sort of thing that’s causing the invalid traffic issue. YouTube has been doing all kinds of things to combat ad blockers, which I support.
But according to users on Reddit, the way around some of those things is people refreshing the page over and over or clicking an ad and then refreshing along with other methods.
The reason I bring this up is because in 9 years I hadn’t ever received an invalid traffic notification but as this fight between ad block users and YouTube has intensified recently I started getting them regularly.
I know it might be completely unrelated but I wanted to share since it popped up in my brain. It also wouldn’t explain channels who have dealt with this prior. Maybe something to look into @TeamYouTube@YouTubeLiaison@AdSense ?

@TeamYouTube What personal information does it have? Just the timestamp you sent me. I took my video address off of it.
The memo said to follow the timestamp. Can you explain how the numbers work so that I can address this?
There is a good chance the e-mail is fake as compared to other Privacy Complaint messages I've read online this one doesn't have a clickable link, the violating privacy isn't an actual time code and there isn't a Yours Sincerely Youtube Legal Team at the end of the message.
@TeamYouTube@NJslotguy What he is saying is that the information in the complaint references a phone number and not a time stamp. It is EXACTLY the same phone number in my privacy complaint. And I don't know @NJslotguy at all.
Please, we need some help as these are not viable complaints.
@Greenalink I got the same one today with the exact same number. I asked @TeamYouTube for help, and they aren't looking into it. We all get trolled and could use some direction other than to spend time chasing our tails.
@TeamYouTube Did you read my comment that there's no time stamp? And that it's a phone number instead of a time stamp? And that it's being used in random complaints over and over and over?
Please tell me what I need to do in the next 48 hours to fix this. How do I fix my video?
@TeamYouTube
I received a privacy complaint. BUT, in researching the "timestamp", it's been copied and pasted a BUNCH of times for a lot of creators.
It's literally just me in my video. Any advice?
Got another one! This is frustrating because YouTube removed the public dislike count, against the will of the general public, because it stressed out creators. They make the 1/10 collapsable because it stressed out creators. And then...there's invalid traffic which has been an issue through both of those decisions. They might as well take the notification away at this point since we don't get any helpful information from it and we can't do anything about it anyway.
This is what my AdSense revenue looks like over the past 365 days. Many weeks of 80% drops due to “invalid traffic.” You make some great points about the irony of YouTube looking out for the mental health of creators but ignoring the biggest pressing issue right now…
