🚨 YOUTUBE IS DEMONETIZING AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY OF ANIMATORS. AND NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT.
This is bigger than one channel. Bigger than one appeal. An alarming number of animation creators are losing their YouTube monetization under the same "Misleading Family Content" policy.
My channel, Pivot Master, has been demonetized for almost 3 MONTHS. And I'm far from the only one.
Here are just some of the affected creators:

More than 29 creators, probably way more that I am not aware of. Countless hours of animation. Years of hard work. And livelihoods being affected.
Animation does NOT automatically mean children's content.
Many of us create content for general audiences, yet our channels are being classified under a policy that we believe does not accurately reflect our work.
And what happens when we appeal?
Automated responses. Rejections. Copy-paste explanations. And creators left fighting to prove that their own content has been misunderstood.
We're want TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND GENUINE HUMAN REVIEWS.
@TeamYouTube@YouTube, please stop treating these as isolated cases.
LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE.
We want our channels reviewed fairly. We want clear explanations. And if these demonetizations are mistakes, we want our monetization restored.
To every animator affected: PLEASE SPEAK UP.
Repost and Quote this tweet. Tag @TeamYouTube. Share your experience in the replies.
Let's make sure this issue cannot be ignored any longer.
OUR CHANNELS ARE OUR YEARS OF HARD WORK. THEY DESERVE A FAIR CHANCE.
DC Comics has announced DC Power: Black Lightning 50th Anniversary Special by Jenny Isabella,Brandon Thomas, and artist Fico Ossio.
It releases on Jan 27,2027!
"With Superman away from Metropolis, Jefferson finds himself responsible for protecting the city. Unfortunately, an old enemy plots his downfall, putting Black Lightning in a familiar position where saving the day may take more than a few lightning bolts. There’s also unfinished business in Jefferson’s personal life. With another potentially world-ending battle approaching, he wonders whether he still has time to repair his relationship with his ex-wife, Lynn Stewart. The special will explore those personal connections through its stories, bringing Jefferson together with his daughters, Anissa and Jennifer, and fellow heroes from across the DC Universe".

How did I not see this post until now?
You know, sometimes I get REALY jealous that you live in Australia, Elijah. If I ever do plan a visit there, Flying Bark is the VERY first place I'm visiting and getting a tour of!
Favorite animation studio of all time 🥹

I stole Pia’s job this month to give her a break and also pretend I was doing more after flopping bad last month (aka I got sick and I went on vacation). 🙂↕️
Graphic design is (not really) my passion 💁
It makes me insane to see animation fans or whoever refer to 2d footage as having a "low frame rate." What you are trying to say is there aren't enough inbetweens for your liking. It's a stylistic choice, not a technical failing. Not everything is a gd video gammmmmme
