@TeamYouTube what caused my channel to be terminated?
All I did was change my profile picture and that’s it.
Show me the proof, or give me my channel back.

I know this is just a channel, but it changed my life. It feels like no matter what I try or how hard I fight, nothing works. Whatever I hope for, nothing happens. @TeamYouTube@nealmohan For your success, you destroyed the dreams of many small creators. Thank You

@TeamYouTube I refuse to give up.
I’m not going to stop posting until you show what terminated my channel or give me my channel back.
It’s now been 50 days since my channel got terminated for ���circumvention”.
Stop ignoring me and fix this.

YouTube says they terminated my channel “to keep YouTube safe.”
Sure.
YouTube always says they want creators who bring real value to the platform. Well, I did exactly that.
I built Islandneofr to 40,000 subscribers in just 5 months with consistent Roblox gameplay.
Over 10 million views.
A real fanbase that actually enjoyed the content and kept coming back.
Shorts were popping, growth was steady — the account was clean and safe.
People believed in the content and helped it grow fast.
Mind you, if the account violated anything they would’ve removed it before May 13th during the 5 months run.
I was posting a lot — 5-10 Shorts every other day, regular videos — and the account was completely clean.
No removal happened because it was clean before May 13th.
If May 13th didn’t happen or if it was my off day, the account would still be up.
But I happened to be uploading that day.
Then May 13 happened.
During a documented outage, uploads were failing across the platform.
Videos would freeze, show as “Untitled,” and never process.
TeamYouTube even acknowledged the widespread issues.
From 5:40 AM to 6:00 AM I kept deleting and reloading the same short I made because it would never go live or upload.
At 6:01 AM, literally a minute later, I was hit with the termination for “circumvention.”
The only reason my account was removed?
YouTube’s own failing uploads.
Not spam, not violations — their broken system.
You say you take channels down “to protect other users on the platform”?
My removal didn’t protect anybody.
It hurt the 250,000 fans across my TikTok, Twitch, and Instagram who are still wondering where I went every day — and you also hurt the fans who subbed to the 40k channel by removing their favorite YouTube gamer.
You’re not keeping your community safe — you’re hurting your own community.
I’m here on X to recover a mistake that should not have happened and a community that misses me.
Honestly it hurts knowing I don’t even feel like making content anywhere else right now.
Now the account has been down for 57 days while other creators removed on the same May 13 date have already recovered theirs.
For example, @TTikhe89016 got the same hit as me on May 13th — removed for “circumvention” — and was restored after 40+ days — nice for him 👏, but what about me man 😢 with full proof still waiting?
How is this fair?
This wasn’t keeping anyone safe.
This was their broken AI punishing a creator for their own outage.
I have the full proof:
upload errors in the exact window,
termination timestamp,
normal uploads before,
growth stats,
everything.
Yet no human review.
Just the same copy-paste “we removed it to protect our community” line.
How is removing real creators with real fanbases “keeping YouTube safe”?
While actual spam and bad content stays up?
This is the same excuse they give so many others.
Small creators building legitimate communities get wiped, and “safety” is the shield.
@TeamYouTube@YouTube@YouTubeCreators@nealmohan
Stop hiding behind “safety.”
Give my case (and others) a real human review.
The evidence is here.
We’re not going away until you fix this.

@TeamYouTube@Ayanrp2h How tf is reading policy links going to do anything?
You terminated my channel for circumvention policy and gave me 0 support, fix this by reinstating our channels back!
@TeamYouTube
My Channel was terminated for violent criminal organizations but i debunked your claim I broke that policy in my appeal video please have a real human look at my case fully

🚨 54 Days Since My 40K Roblox Channel (Islandneofr) Was Taken Down by the May 13 Outage Glitch
For months my channel was growing strong with real gameplay:
• 39,297 subscribers
• Over 10 million views
• Active videos and Shorts performing
well
Everything was normal. No strikes. Passed reviews.
On May 13, during the documented YouTube upload outage, my videos started failing to process. They appeared as “Untitled” and got stuck. I deleted and retried the upload (normal behavior when the system is broken).
Shortly after those retries, the channel was terminated.
Screenshots prove:
• TeamYouTube publicly confirming upload problems that day
• The exact upload failures I was seeing
• The termination email received on May 13
• Studio content and analytics showing a clean, active channel right up until that
day
This wasn’t policy violation or circumvention. It was an automated false positive caused by the outage.
I’m asking @TeamYouTube@nealmohan and @YouTubeCreators for a genuine human + technical review of my May 13 activity logs.
A channel that was doing everything right shouldn’t disappear because of a platform glitch.
Full evidence attached.

@TeamYouTube@nealmohan@YouTubeCreators I want a final human review of my YouTube channel because I did not violate any community guidelines. I only changed my profile picture.
Please give me my channel back. 🙏

@TeamYouTube I worked so hard for my channel, I had 100 subs.
And then on May 17 you took it all away by terminating my channel for “circumvention” just for changing my profile picture.
I want a human review, this is not fair. 💔
