@fandompulse He's right, if a game company needs saving its up to them to save themselves, and if they die its time for them to die and their ip to die, other companies will replace them and new ip will be created for gamers.
Dear YouTube,
We need to talk.
For the last 15 years, we built this platform with you.
We woke up at 3 AM to upload videos. We funneled our savings into cameras, mics, editors, and thumbnails.
We sacrificed birthdays, weddings, and weekends to ship one more upload. We turned our living rooms into studios.
We turned our voices into livelihoods. We turned strangers into communities of millions because you told us this was the future.
And now we are watching that future get taken from us, one channel at a time.
The recent AdSense wave is the worst it has ever been. Real creators with real audiences and real businesses are watching everything disappear overnight.
People who never broke a single rule. People who poured a decade of their lives into building something honest.
The email comes in and the entire business is gone. No appeal that actually works. No human to talk to. No path back.
Some of these creators have 6 channels under one AdSense. All 6 die in the same notification.
Years of work erased in a single algorithm decision nobody at YouTube can even explain.
The support is broken. The "creator chat" is a script reading bot pretending to listen.
The appeal forms feel like sending letters into the void. Real questions get template responses.
Real evidence gets ignored. Real businesses get crushed and nobody at the company seems to care.
We are not asking for charity. We are asking for basic respect.
We built this platform for you. We brought you the billions of hours of attention you sell to advertisers.
We attracted the audiences you monetize. We are the reason YouTube is one of the largest companies on the internet.
Every single dollar of that value passed through someone who set up a camera in their bedroom and hit upload.
And the way you treat us back is to ban us by mistake, ignore our appeals, and tell us the algorithm decided.
This is not how you treat the people who built your empire.
We are not the enemy. We are the product.
And right now, we are tired, hurt, and watching friends lose everything they built because nobody at YouTube cares enough to pick up the phone.
Do better.
The creators you forgot.
i’m truly shocked and at a loss for words right now. this morning i woke up to an email saying that my (first) twitch payout had been suspended due to fraudulent activity. i was going to submit a support ticket delivering the information it asked me to give them later in the day because i don’t stream for money so i wasn’t concerned about fixing the issue right in that moment.
about an hour later i received an email stating that my account has been indefinitely suspended for “fraud” and the only details it gave me was for “purchases”. i actually have not spent money on twitch as poffu. i have been wrongfully suspended for something i haven’t even done.
as soon as i saw the email (25 minutes later) i submitted an appeal and it was IMMEDIATELY declined, literally within seconds.
i’m completely heartbroken and at a loss. i don’t know what to do in this situation as this has never happened to me before. vtubing has always been my dream and it feels like my journey just ended before it could even begin.
if you’re seeing this, thank you for taking the time to read through this. if anyone has any advice or knows how to navigate through this very confusing situation safely, i’m all ears.
Reminder that @TeamYouTube said that everything is working as intended and even mocked me.
All this despite showing proof that my reach was cut. My videos do not get suggested to non subscribers.
And they only get pushed in the algorithm EXACTLY 3 days after they are published.
Wanted to share @GOTGAMES_TB video as this needs to be talked about more and hopefully something more done about it, especially by @Twitch

I was hacked today.
@TeamYouTube@YouTubeCreators
You deleted both my channels due to me getting hacked. I just want them restored. This is my livelyhood and job. I literally have surgery today and I'm freaking out over this.
@Pirat_Nation Interesting as I've made microtransactions in steam games I've been playing without using steam for those microtransactions, so sure whatever, he says.
I use steam over epic as a customer because its a better platform for me.
Would have liked to play @Hytale but it seems I won't be able to download it any time soon. Wish the download progress would save everything it stopped.
