Hi, we're Lume Studio. We make videos millions watch.
• 300K+ subscribers on our documentary channel.
• 2.8M+ views on AI films made with zero cameras.
• And our own platform to watch it all.
Here's who we are 👇
Hey @TeamYouTube
Are you really gonna let your AI monetization let a whole channel die and ruin an entire person’s main source of income along side other similar cases all because YOU COULDN’T BOTHER TO CHECK YOURSELVES?!?
ARE YOU?!?
@TeamYouTube@YouTubeCreators@reneritchie
After yesterday's post: reviewed again. A significant portion was said to violate "unsatisfying or off-putting content." Third time. No film or scene named.
I dispute that finding. I want a human review and monetisation reinstated.
So after my effort, my sleepless night. I won't receive payout 😪
Over $2k+ Lost💔
Funny how it happened close to payout 🤦🏾♂️
@TeamYouTube am still waiting for your reply on this
I really need a human review 🙏
🚨 A verified creator lost everything just hours later.
This is the case of @SMBGT — and @NealMohan should take a serious look at it.
According to the creator, he started building his channel in 2021, reached 100,000+ subscribers, created Original Transformed Shorts, and spent years building his community.
Then @YouTube officially gave him a Verification Badge. But according to his account, just around 3 hours later, his channel was terminated for “Spam/Scam.”
He says his appeal was rejected within around 2 hours, without receiving a proper Human/Manual Review.
This is bigger than one creator. When an automated system can affect years of a creator’s work, creators deserve a genuine opportunity for a real person to review the case, evidence, and explanation.
@TeamYouTube should investigate this case properly, while @YouTubeCreators should listen to the concerns creators are raising.
And @NealMohan — creators are asking a simple question: Will AI make the decision, or will a real human finally review the creator’s case?
@FTC, the concerns creators are raising about automated enforcement and meaningful human review also deserve attention.
We are not asking for special treatment.
We are asking for fair review, transparency, and REAL HUMAN REVIEW.
Please Retweet and help bring this creator’s case to @YouTube.
We have a update from the manager, the image below is a place holder, please keep that in mind. Final drafts should be soon. I don't have a exact time yet, but expect another teaser withn the next 2 weeks.
@LumeStudioo@TeamYouTube Once again, I already did voice my concerns about this. But hontestly, this shouldn't be allowed. If i was them, i would have lent a hand in terms of parnership, not smack with a ruler to the wall as punishment out of my anger.
@Genuisfighter12@TeamYouTube Exactly. We'd have welcomed a partnership or even a fair critique. Instead we got a 10M-view hit piece and a coordinated wave of reports. That's not competition, that's using scale to crush a smaller studio. Appreciate you speaking up 🙏

every receipt is pinned on our profile: the comments, the analytics, youtube's email, the company filings
if you think a small channel shouldn't vanish because a big one pointed 10 million people at it, one repost helps more than you'd think 🔁
we answered every accusation from their video, point by point, with dates and sources
it's a 57 minute film. it has 47K views. theirs has 10 million

our full response: "The Real Truth About fern" 👇
https://t.co/oKafPNPW3L
YouTube continues showing ads on my films while excluding me from revenue sharing. My channel has a 98% positive like rating among viewers who rated the videos. Yet the responses I’ve received haven’t identified a specific scene or explained which stories they consider interchangeable.What a mockery. You keep running ads on my work, but I’m supposed to keep creating for free?
Even my lawyer received a template response. Have you ever had a lawyer raise a formal concern, only to receive a generic reply that doesn’t address it?
Even a local public works department is expected to answer for its decisions. Why should a multibillion-dollar company be any different?
The message this sends is: “We don’t give a shit about you, your viewers or the legal concerns you’ve raised.”
That is how this treatment feels. A mockery of accountability and a slap in the face after everything I’ve put into this channel. How ruthless has this become?
I’m asking for a proper human review of my films and the evidence I’ve provided, a substantive response to my lawyer, and restoration of Nova AI Films’ monetization. @TeamYouTube
Now YouTube Is F**k All of my channels are operated through anti-detect browsers, and each channel is managed on a separate IP address. Despite this, 12 of my channels were suspended under the “Related” policy.
THEY DENIED MY LAST APPEAL! Luckily my channels was already reinstated but this goes to show that there is absolutely no coordination with youtube and that these demonetizations are bullshit!
@TeamYouTube, I need help with a very confusing Child Safety removal
YouTube removed 3 of my ~3-year-old 2D countryball Shorts under the Child Safety policy. Support says they were human-reviewed and allegedly contain mistreatment of minors
But the characters are fictional countryballs representing countries. There are no minors or child characters in these videos, and no physical, sexual, or emotional mistreatment of any minor
I’ve repeatedly asked for clarification and a proper contextual review, but I keep receiving the same response that the decision is final
If these are countryball videos, not videos involving minors, how does the Child Safety policy apply here?
I’m asking @TeamYouTube to please look into this and help get these videos properly reviewed with their actual context
every document is linked in the reply. read them yourself
if you're a small creator: this is what you're up against now. share this so people know
@TeamYouTube still waiting on our case
tomorrow: the one video they say we copied. with dates
🚨 WHY PRIVATE EQUITY (THE COMPANY BEHIND fern) IS TRYING TO KILL SMALL COMPETING CHANNELS
everyone thinks fern is an indie creator. it's not. it's owned by a london company backed by private equity money
we read their filings. all public, uk companies house. here's what's in them 👇
we're not saying any of this is illegal. it's not. it's normal private equity
we're saying: when a $41M-debt company makes a 28 min video calling a 30-person ukrainian studio "slop" and its audience mass-reports us, that's not creator vs creator
that's a portfolio protecting its collateral
