Let me get this straight. YouTube deletes my channels with over 150,000 subscribers, 500+ videos and 7 years of hard work, despite me never having received a strike or warning. When I ask for a reason, they refuse to give me one because providing the specifics could enable “circumvention” of their policies. So YouTube can delete years of work, but creators aren’t even allowed to know what they supposedly did wrong? How is anyone supposed to appeal a decision they aren’t even allowed to understand? Every creator should be concerned about a system where this can happen without a clear explanation. Please share this. Creators deserve transparency. @teamyoutube Almost 4 weeks ago, 3 of my YouTube channels disappeared overnight. No warning or strikes. Just poof and they were gone. More than 6 years of work. 700+ videos. Over 150,000 subscribers across those channels. And the part I still can’t wrap my head around is that in all those years on YouTube, I have never even had a single Community Guidelines strike. I’m a YouTube Partner. I’ve always taken YouTube’s rules seriously. I built my career on this platform and did everything I could to follow its policies. Then one night, 3 channels were just… gone. I hadn’t changed anything. After that, YouTube repeatedly told me the decisions were reviewed and final. There was nothing I could do. with YouTube determining that it did not violate their policies. And yet the other 3 channels are still gone. That was almost three weeks ago. I’ve appealed. I’ve contacted support. I’ve tweeted at@TeamYouTubeI’ve gone through every route available to me and still haven't reached a solution. And this is the part that genuinely scares me, not just for myself, but for every creator who depends on this platform. One wrong enforcement decision can erase a decade of someone’s work overnight. And when it happens, you quickly realize how little you can actually do. There’s no way to contact a real person to find out what happened, and to fix the mistake. You appeal. You contact support. You post publicly. And then you wait, hoping somebody eventually looks at your case properly which might never happen. For creators who have spent years building businesses, communities and careers on YouTube, that should be terrifying. I know the response from YouTube to this tweet will probably be "We've sent you a DM, let's continue our convo there". And then when I go to the DMs, I’ll see another generic automated response telling me that they're “looking into it.” But you’ve been looking into it for 4 weeks. At some point, I need an actual answer from an actual person. These aren’t just random accounts to me. They represent thousands of videos, years of my life, and a huge part of the career I spent a decade building. I’m not asking for special treatment. I’m asking for the remaining five channels to receive a real, thorough human review, especially now that YouTube has already confirmed one of the terminations from this same enforcement action was wrong. Please actually look at what happened here, @TeamYouTube !

And YouTube is only responding with AI templates that solve nothing. My channels did not violate any policy that they're accusing me of. This is a mockery. Creators are getting terminated left and right for no reason while scam ads are running on YouTube. What a mad joke.

@TeamYouTube
how can a channel with over 100k subscribers and 60M views just disappear overnight, without warning or any chance to fix a potential issue? Our channel, Speed Reacts, deleted for "spam, deceptive practices and scams". we've never scammed!
REVIEW THIS MANUALLY
So... my channel was just falsely TERMINATED on YouTube. This message and action came with zero warning and, of course, offers no insight into what guidelines I've allegedly broken. I've been creating original, reliable, and human-made content for nearly a decade. I've never used the practices they claim I've used. This channel is my livelihood, and I kindly request a proper review of my channel and content
@TeamYouTube
I've requested a review, but waiting days for YouTube to resolve an issue they created isn't right.
Almost a month ago, 2 of my YouTube channels disappeared overnight. No warning or strikes. Just poof and they were gone. More than 3 years of work. 500+videos. Over 100,000 subscribers across those 2 channels. And the part I still can’t wrap my head around is that in all those years on YouTube, I have never even had a single Community Guidelines strike. I’m a YouTube Partner. I’ve always taken YouTube’s rules seriously. I built my career on this platform and did everything I could to follow its policies. Then one night, six channels were just… gone. Three of them were actually reinstated after my appeals were accepted. About an hour later, they were terminated AGAIN. I hadn’t uploaded anything. I hadn’t changed anything. They were simply restored and then deleted again. After that, YouTube repeatedly told me the decisions were reviewed and final. There was nothing I could do. But then one of those same channels was reinstated AGAIN, with YouTube determining that it did not violate their policies. So clearly, at least one of these “final” decisions was wrong. And yet the other five channels are still gone. That was almost three weeks ago. I’ve appealed. I’ve contacted support. I’ve tweeted at

. I just want my channels back.
@TeamYouTube its been over a month since my channels got flagged for "SPAM and DECEPTIVE PRACTICES" mind you all of my content is completely original we spend HOURS everyday working tirelessly on the channels and doing all we can do to comply with the rules, I was shocked to see that 2 of my biggest channels were wiped completely clean out of the platform after over 100,000 SUBSCRIBERS, 50 MILLION VIEWS, 500+ pieces of content without a warning or a strike or even an explanation. You guys have reinstated channels similar to mine that were removed pretty much in the same week as mine were and for the same reason I kindly request a review and an immediate reinstatement of all my channels and all the YEARS of hard work that me and my team spent grinding on this platform. Please share this. Creators deserve transparency.
We Deserve Better!

@TeamYouTube
Let me get this straight. YouTube deletes my channels with over 70,000 subscribers, 400+ videos and 3 years of hard work, despite me never having received a strike or warning. When I ask for a reason, they refuse to give me one because providing the specifics could enable “circumvention” of their policies. So YouTube can delete years of work, but creators aren’t even allowed to know what they supposedly did wrong? How is anyone supposed to appeal a decision they aren’t even allowed to understand? Every creator should be concerned about a system where this can happen without a clear explanation. Please share this. Creators deserve transparency.
