I just want to create good content.

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

Today marks exactly one MONTH since YouTube terminated my channel with 240K subscribers.

Two days later, my second channel with 190K subscribers was taken down too.

Years of work, hundreds of millions of views, and my entire livelihood gone.

A month later, I still haven’t been told what specific content supposedly broke the rules. My appeal was rejected, support couldn’t give me an explanation, and @TeamYouTube said they’d look into it.

Still nothing.

I genuinely don’t understand how a platform built by creators can treat us like this. I’m not even asking for much. I just want someone to actually look at my case and explain what I did wrong.

Is that really too much to ask?

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

@TeamYouTube Thank you YouTube for your very “helpful” DM:

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

You genuinely can’t make this up.

After a month of chasing support, @TeamYouTube finally got back to me saying their policy team had reviewed my case again.

And now apparently I violated the SPAM policy???

How do you review the same channel twice and somehow come back with two completely different reasons for terminating it?

Years of work, my entire livelihood gone, and they can’t even tell me what policy I supposedly broke.

I’m honestly speechless at this point.

@max52992576 Started making content on that channel about a year ago, but I’ve had that YouTube account for over 10 years, and they just removed it without warning..

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

It’s now been over 2 weeks since YouTube’s automated system removed my 240k subs channel without warning. A wholesome story channel, ironically terminated for “humans maliciously mistreating animals”.

As a result i lost my other 190k subs channel through circumvention, which was generating millions of views on a daily basis.

It’s hard to put into words how these last few weeks have been. Going from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows.
It leaves you with a sense of emptiness, and apathy.

I know a lot of other creators are in similar situations right now. All we can really do is keep sharing our experiences, spread awareness and keep pushing for these decisions to get proper human reviews. It’s not right to leave people’s livelihoods in the hands of a flawed automated system.

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

@YouTube Maybe you should think about cutting out your AI falsely terminating channels?

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

@YouTube They’re promoting shit like this, and then ban innocent channels with their AI. Fix your moderation!

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

@MiyraMirage They simply don’t care unless you’re famous or go viral on x. They’ve ghosted me for a month after saying “we’ll look into it”

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

@YouTubeCreators @Ro84636Rodrick That’s smart! Now what’s the strategy for avoiding getting wrongfully terminated by your AI? 🤔

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

@KirscheVerstahl @AC15912733 @YouTube @TeamYouTube YouTube’s moderation is horrible right now. Automated systems wrongly terminating channels, and its impossible to get any support.

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

21 days, still no update.

[TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube]

@GentleTalesYT Checking on this right now. We asked for more info via DM

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

@Dani_RSilver9 @AC15912733 @TeamYouTube Another day, another demonetization

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

@vidIQ I would fix the automated system that wrongfully demonetizes and terminates so many channels

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

@NickBYT_ It’s great, until their automated system wrongfully terminates one of your channels. Then all your other channels come crashing down like a house of cards

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

@AGlubbable The support is basically non existent. Automated replies directing you to the policies you didn’t break. You’re essentially left in limbo

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

@ugeeyoutube Their whole platform is built by creators, yet they treat us like trash

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

How it feels tweeting with 4 views and 0 likes

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

@sniffyy_ They allow shit like this but terminate other channels for nothing

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

@DeepHumor They don’t care about their creators

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

Considering YouTube wouldn’t exist without content creators, it’s incredible how little they care about them.

[Gentle Tales @GentleTalesYT]

@DeepHumor This is getting dumber and dumber each day, unbelievable..
