YouTube terminated this young man’s 4.6M sub channel and isn’t responding to him at all.
He did make a mistake, but he’s not even able to drive yet, man 😅
And the mistake wasn’t anything worse than you’ll see all across the platform.
I can’t even imagine the depression, anxiety, and confusion they caused him.
Let’s help him go viral.
YOUTUBE, CAN YOU PLEASE ANSWER US CREATORS?
EVERY DAY, A LOT OF US ARE MAKING TWEETS TO GET YOUR ATTENTION, AND YOU DON’T HELP US.
WE CAN SHOW PROOF OF EVERYTHING AND STILL GET NO HELP.
WHY ARE YOU TREATING US CREATORS LIKE NOISE?
WE PUT BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS INTO MAKING CONTENT ON THIS PLATFORM, YET WE GET NO SUPPORT.
DO YOU CARE ABOUT US CREATORS OR NOT?
WE NEED HELP. WE NEED ANSWERS. WE NEED HUMAN REVIEWS NOT AI REVIEWS.
I CONTINUE TO SHOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME EVERY DAY. I’VE NEVER SWITCHED MY STORY.
I DID WHAT YOU TOLD US CREATORS TO DO, YOUTUBE. I CONTACTED SUPPORT. THEY GAVE ME ANSWERS. I FOLLOWED THEM. NOW I’M THE ONE BEING PUNISHED FOR IT.
NOVEMBER 23RD, 2025: I asked Support if I could tell viewers to follow me on Roblox. They wouldn’t give me a straight answer.
NOVEMBER 24TH–29TH: I made CTA content for an in-game event → my channel went 7K → 25K SUBSCRIBERS → the event ended and I planned to return to normal content → TERMINATED FOR INCENTIVE ENGAGEMENT + OFF-PLATFORM REDIRECTING.
APPEAL DENIED IN 9 MINUTES.
Then DECEMBER 2ND, I asked Support if I was okay to continue using my pre-existing second channel.
THEY SAID YES.
I asked again. THEY CONFIRMED I WAS FINE.
6 MONTHS OF CLEAN CONTENT. 1K+ VIDEOS. POSTING EVERY DAY.
Then YouTube had its PLATFORM OUTAGE → 20 MINUTES OF FAILED UPLOAD ATTEMPTS → the channel was terminated ONE MINUTE AFTER MY LAST ATTEMPT → APPEAL DENIED IN 2 HOURS.
The appeal didn’t let me submit PHOTOS OR VIDEOS TO SHOW MY PROOF.
I spent the next month trying to contact YouTube on X.
NO HELP.
THEN JUNE 8TH CAME, AND YOUTUBE WIPED THE REST.
I had 6 other channels 5 had no content and just existed.
8 CHANNELS GONE. 3 I WORKED ON HARD. 5 THAT JUST EXISTED.
NOW I HAVE NOTHING.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
PLEASE REVIEW MY CASE. I’VE PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHER FOR A REVIEWER TO TAKE A LOOK AT, TO MATCH WITH YOUTUBE’S OWN LOGS.
PLEASE HELP OTHER CREATORS TOO.

Looks like @TeamYouTube is STILL NOT responding.
They TERMINATED my 4.63M subscriber channel without any prior warnings or strikes. I genuinely can’t believe that a stupid joke I made when I was 14 led to losing my entire brand.
Total lost across all channels: Over 5.2M subscribers.
I didn't use ANY AI content, nor was I doing anything scammy. What happened was a fake MCN pretending to be IShowSpeed’s network scammed me. I barely got out of that situation, you won't believe this- but out of pure revenge, they mass-reported one of my old Shorts featuring an edgy joke.
I was 14 at the time and didn't know better. Within 24 hours, my main channel was gone. I was banned for "nudity and sexual content."
To clarify what the video actually was: it was a standard Geometry Dash Short with a hand cam. One text pop-up said "getting hard" while my hand was moving up and down—literally just trying to simulate fast mouse clicking. I genuinely did not realize how it looked while editing. Yes, the text was ragebait, but losing an entire 4.63M subscriber channel WITHOUT any warnings or strikes?
@TeamYouTube put me in pure panic and tears. I couldn't even go to school that day because of how traumatic it was. A 14-year-old losing 4–5 years of work is insane. YouTube showed zero remorse.
Rebuilding from Scratch:
After the termination, YT suspended my ability to order play buttons, but still allowed me to create channels. So, I picked myself back up and scaled a brand new channel to 1M subscribers in ONE MONTH. Later, it hit 2M+ subscribers (it's still public right now: @ StaxOfficials).
I kept scaling more channels:
• 521K subs: @ dashtimeGD
• 290K subs: @ stacksoriginals
The Unfair Terminations Continued:
When I tried scaling further, two smaller channels (around 10K subs each) got terminated for "spam and deceptive practices." All I did was re-upload a video ONCE and ask people to subscribe in the video. Getting wiped out again without warnings over minor mistakes felt completely uncalled for. Because of these small bans, my play button privileges kept getting revoked.
Desperate for a clean slate, I created a brand new email account and built a channel to 500K subscribers in 3 months. I was finally able to order a play button, but YouTube banned that channel too for "Circumvention."
I wasn't trying to bypass restrictions—I just saw the "order" button and was thrilled. It was YouTube's own system that allowed it despite uploading the same content style from the same IP, Chrome account, etc.
Where I Stand Now:
Over 5.2M subscribers wiped out. I am turning 16 soon and I am still deeply affected by this. I struggle with depression and constant overthinking over how everything was handled.
I dedicated my youth to making content people enjoyed and succeeding on this platform. I can't wrap my head around why YouTube protects predatory fake MCNs while punishing a 14–15-year-old creator this harshly.
I’m still hoping someone at YouTube will finally look into this and spare my work. Thank you to everyone who took the time to read this. Have a great day. ❤️

Creators have been complaining for a long time, and their concerns have finally reached federal authorities.
YouTube has been terminating creators’ accounts with little to no explanation and seemingly no reliable system for resolving mistakes.
Now, the FTC is reportedly preparing a lawsuit against YouTube over allegations that the platform misled users about its content policies before suspending their accounts.
Meta also recently lost a multibillion-dollar lawsuit. No matter how you feel about Trump, his administration appears serious about holding Big Tech accountable when these companies allegedly mistreat their users.
What do you think about this?
YouTube is handing out lifetime bans and then going silent.
No warning.
No human review.
Just gone.
If they took your channel, put the case here:
subs / reason / how long you’ve waited.
One thread. Every case in the open.

YOUTUBE DOES NOT HELP CREATORS.
THIS IS A PROBLEM!
If you’re still an active creator on YouTube, your channel could be terminated at any moment and YOU WILL NOT GET REAL HELP.
There are thousands of terminated creators on X begging for support. 500 SUBSCRIBERS, 10K, 100K, 1 MILLION IT DOESN’T MATTER. Unless you go viral or get a viral post, YOUTUBE WILL NOT HELP YOU.
YOU ALREADY HAVE TO LEAVE YOUTUBE AND GO TO X JUST TO GET YOUTUBE’S ATTENTION.
You can’t even provide PHOTOS OR VIDEOS OF PROOF in appeals.
HOW IS THAT NOT A PROBLEM?
How can you properly review a case when creators can’t even provide the evidence?
THEN THEY DENY THE APPEAL.
And tell you it was “REVIEWED CAREFULLY” or “THOROUGHLY REVIEWED.”
LOOK.
I’ve been asking for help DAY IN AND DAY OUT SINCE MAY 13TH. 4 MONTHS.
I’ve provided all the proof needed for a human review.
4 MONTHS. STILL NO HELP AT ALL.
My channel had 40K SUBSCRIBERS, 10 MILLION VIEWS AND 1,000+ VIDEOS after 6 months of building it.
It had ZERO VIOLATIONS before it was terminated on MAY 13TH AT AROUND 6 AM, during YouTube’s major outage.
I followed information given to me by YouTube Support and later I WAS THE ONE PUNISHED FOR IT.
@NealMohan — THIS IS A PROBLEM.
Creators tell you every day what is hurting them, what is broken, and WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED.
You ignore us and continue making YouTube harder while changing things NOBODY IS ASKING FOR.
WHY ARE YOU NOT LISTENING TO THE CREATORS WHO MAKE THIS PLATFORM?
CHINA HAS NOW LAUNCHED ITS OWN YOUTUBE COMPETITOR APP GLOBALLY.
APP NAME: BILIBILI
IT LAUNCHED FOR US AND OTHER USERS AROUND THE WORLD LAST WEEK. IT’S NOT FULLY AVAILABLE IN EVERY COUNTRY YET, BUT IT WILL BE.
IT’S ALREADY TAKING OFF AND THEY’RE WORKING ON AN ENGLISH VERSION.
IT ALREADY HAS 370 MILLION USERS WORLDWIDE.
CREATORS IF YOUTUBE IS DOING YOU WRONG, TRY IT.
MRBEAST IS ALREADY ON IT AS WELL YOUTUBE’S BIGGEST STAR.
THAT’S ANOTHER PROBLEM.
YOUTUBE’S BIGGEST CREATOR IS ALREADY WORKING WITH A COMPETITOR WHILE YOUTUBE CONTINUES TO TREAT OTHER CREATORS WHO WANT TO BE ON YOUTUBE LIKE THIS.
YOUTUBE, DO BETTER.
YOUTUBE NEEDS CREATORS.
WE NEED REAL HUMAN REVIEWS. REAL SUPPORT. REAL HELP.
NOT JUST FOR ME. FOR ALL OF US.
✅ REPOST — HELP GET THESE CASES SEEN.
✅ LIKE — PUSH THIS TO MORE CREATORS.
✅ COMMENT — TELL US WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR CHANNEL.
✅ TAG @TeamYouTube — MAKE SURE THEY SEE THIS.
If you're wrongfully terminated by YouTube, check out Bilibili. China's top video app with 376M users is expanding globally with a new English version and zero strict ID rules for foreigners. It's a massive new alternative. Hopefully it surpasses YouTube they mistreat creators.
🚨 PAREN TODO 🚨
Bilibili (la plataforma china) está pagando casi un dólar por cada mil vistas.
Sí, leíste bien.
Mientras YouTube te da migajas, ellos andan ofreciendo reportes de $0.70 por 1.000 vistas y ya superaron los 370 millones de usuarios mensuales.
Están abriendo monetización internacional para atraer creadores de todo el mundo… y muchos ya están volteando a ver.
YouTube 2012 está tocando la puerta otra vez.
Solo que esta vez viene desde China.
OMG!? We woke up to 11k followers? Thanks for the love and we're extremely excited to be building the global bilibili community with all of you 🩷 We have received many questions with regards to bilibili intl vers. We're working on a FAQ to answer some of them, but in the mean time, you can head over to our discord to onboard or give us feedback! https://t.co/YDNSuinoig
@YouTubeCreators Hire more people to check appeal, fix your broken AI, restore all channel got banned without 3 times warning these years.
If not, you just wasting people's time.
Need help! @TeamYouTube Please help with a manual review of my terminated channel.
My channel Sibling Love is terminated for the Violent or Graphic Content policy. I have already appealed, but the appeal was rejected.
I sincerely request a human/manual review of my channel.
Bruno & Bella are fictional rescue-dog characters I created to tell emotional stories about saving innocent animals. The purpose of the channel was never to promote, glorify, or encourage animal cruelty. The dangerous situations were only part of the rescue storyline, with the animals ultimately being rescued.
I understand that some scenes may have unintentionally crossed YouTube's guidelines, and if I had been made aware of specific problematic content, I would have gladly removed or modified it.
I spent months building these characters and stories with genuine love for animals. I am not asking for an exception to the rules—I am only asking that a human reviewer please look at the channel in its full context and reconsider the termination.
Channel: https://t.co/MeKMexDagi
@TeamYouTube Please, I genuinely request you to look at my case once more. 🙏
I've Got Over 5,000,000 Subscribers Unfairly Terminated by @YouTube!
Everything started with the 4.63M sub channel. After that everything went downhill. YT refuses to give them back and I need YOUR HELP! 🫵
I was only 14 when all this started. Its so unfair icl.
@TeamYouTube
YouTube just reinstated 2 of my channels as SOON as I hit a post on X.
This only means one thing: it's either a coincidence or something even bigger is going on.
This is good news for me, BUT they did not give me back my other main channel (Voxek), which was also falsely terminated.
But that still doesn't fix the main issue, somehow they (or their AI) decided 50 days later that my channels are not violating the policy?
How does that justify the false termination of millions of other channels? This is still not fair. Unless this is fully fixed, I'll never be satisfied
Please look more into it, @TeamYouTube
