Day 4 of fighting for my channel🙂😄 @TeamYouTube
YouTube terminated my YouTube channel for circumvention which I believe has nothing to do with my account because I didn't create any new YouTube channel to bypass a termination. Lemme explain it again.
1. I created my YouTube channel in 2023.
2. Later in April or May 2025 i logged in to my friend's account on my device.
3. My friend's account got terminated on October 14, and after that YouTube terminated my two YouTube accounts: one on October 14 and another on October 15 (this one was my main channel).
4. My appeal got rejected within hours by automated system ofcourse. After that I tagged YouTube here on X, and all I'm getting are automated AI replies😑 which is literally very annoying.
❤️ THANK YOU — ALL MY CHANNELS HAVE BEEN REINSTATED! ❤️
I honestly want to thank everyone who supported me, listened to my situation, shared my posts, and stood by me during one of the most stressful experiences a creator can go through. All my channels have now been reinstated, and I’m incredibly grateful to finally be able to say that. 🙏❤️
But now that I’ve got my channels back, I don’t want this journey to be just about me. There are so many other creators out there who are still going through the same nightmare I experienced: losing channels they spent years building, receiving appeals that seem to be rejected automatically, and struggling to get a real human being to properly look at their cases.
I know what it feels like to be in that position, and I don’t want to turn my back on people who are still there.
That’s why I made this poster highlighting some of the creators who are still trying to get their channels back. I tried my best to include everybody’s names, stories, and situations, but unfortunately, the AI I used to create the poster couldn’t fit every person and every detail into one image. Please understand that this doesn’t mean anybody else’s situation is less important. There are many more creators who deserve to be heard, and I wish I could include every single one of them.
@TeamYouTube@YouTube, please give these creators a genuine HUMAN REVIEW. 🙏
Every case deserves to be looked at properly. If a channel has genuinely violated a policy, explain the issue clearly. But if a mistake has been made, or important context has been missed, creators deserve a fair opportunity to have that recognised and corrected.
Behind every channel is a real person. People put their time, creativity, hard work, and sometimes years of their lives into building something they care about. Losing everything without understanding why can be devastating.
I was in the same boat, and now that I’ve had my channels reinstated, I want to use whatever attention I have to help others who are still fighting. It’s only fair that they get the same opportunity to have their voices heard.
❤️ TO EVERY CREATOR STILL FIGHTING:
Please don’t feel like you’re alone in this. If your channel has been terminated and you’re still trying to get it back, share your situation in the replies or comment section. Explain what happened, what reason YouTube gave you, and whether your appeal was rejected.
Let’s help bring attention to these cases and encourage YouTube to review them fairly. I can’t promise that I can get everybody’s channel reinstated, but I can try to help make sure more people are heard.
Thank you again to everyone who helped me through this. Now it’s time to help others. ❤️

5. I even reached out to the YouTube Help Center, but the same thing happened there😄. After chatting for an hour, I received an email from YouTube saying they couldn't reverse their decision🙂. I replied to that email, where I again explained everything and asked for an explanation.
6. Today, they replied in the morning, repeating the same stuff that I'm tired of reading😩.
All of this could be fixed if only a human reviewed my case. I'm tired of explaining my situation to an AI bot. All I'm asking for is a fair manual review of my case.🙂 @TeamYouTube
@Pushkarrmishraa@TeamYouTube@YouTube I used the chat support on their youtube help page, but i also noticed that for some users there's no option for even contacting only community posting option (which they don't reply to) so i got lucky there
DAY 3 OF FIGHTING FOR MY YOUTUBE CHANNELS. 💔
@TeamYouTube@YouTube
YouTube terminated channels for “circumvention” because a friend’s account, once logged in on my device, was terminated. My appeal was rejected within hours. No explanation.
Circumvention means making a new channel to bypass a termination. My main channel was created in 2023, long before I ever logged into my friend’s account. It was never created to evade anything.
I’m not asking for special treatment. I’m asking for a real human review, not another copy-paste reply.
I worked hard to reach 1,000+ subscribers. Please don’t let a small creator’s work disappear without a fair chance to be heard. 🙏
Main channel: Rosie-na

@LilSoftieGacha@TeamYouTube@YouTube after the ban happened... one more of my channel got banned within the same day and after i removed that account my other accounts were unaffected ... so my advise will be don't use multiple channels from the same phone
@Xtra_Philip@TeamYouTube@YouTube i used the chat support on their youtube help page, but i also noticed that for some users there no option for even contacting only community posting option (which they don't reply to) so i got lucky i got to chat with two agents and then the last agent sent an email.
@Rosiena8z@TeamYouTube i had my @YouTube for 20yrs - on July 31st 2026 i woke up to my YouTube Channel GONE - No warning - No Strikes - 20yrs of videos GONE - my account GONE - i cannot even log into #YouTube to watch as a normal viewer @TeamYouTube
Appeal DENIED https://t.co/zkKceGkczX
day 3 of asking for justice:
@TeamYouTube@YouTube
still no human. My appeal was rejected without a human review, just a copy-paste email, and no explanation of what content violated policy. I’ve never posted explicit material. Please escalate my case to a real person.
Hey @TeamYouTube This is NOT fair. 5 of my channels were terminated, including my main 50K+ Subs channel. I create Fortnite Shorts to promote my own maps. Some videos look similar because they're Fortnite gameplay. One channel was previously restored. Please investigate!
Day 3 of posting🚨.@TeamYouTube
YouTube terminated both of my channels for circumvention and my appeal was rejected within an hour or two by an automated system🙂.
Now imagine leaving your corporate job to follow your dream of becoming a content creator. You work hard post every day for years improve your content, and slowly build an audience. Then one day you wake up and find out that YouTube has permanently deleted your entire channel. What a surprise, right? 🙂Well this is happening to thousands of creators, including me. YouTube’s automated systems are terminating accounts without giving clear explanations or proper human reviews. Your channel is just gone.
If your account is connected in any way to another account that was recently terminated, your account could be next. It doesn’t seem to matter that the accounts belong to completely different people and that your channel posts original content follows the rules, and hasn’t caused any problems on the platform.😩
There’s no proper investigation and no effort to understand the situation. Just a linked device and a detected connection, and suddenly you’re banned from YouTube😑. Years of hard work, creativity and dedication can disappear overnight.
Is this really how a platform treats its creators??
I’m asking for is a fair human review. Not another automated response or copy-paste message💔. I just want one real person to look at the facts before an innocent creator loses everything they worked for.
@TeamYouTube@YouTube, please look into this. 🙏

I chatted for 1 hour with two people, an agent and then a manager. I asked clearly: how does my channel, created in 2023, count as circumvention for a friend’s account logged in on my device in 2025?
What I got back:
❌ The same policy paragraph, pasted again and again
❌ “We can’t share specifics”
❌ The agent admitted my channel was created first, but said the decision can’t be reversed
❌ The manager said twice: “I’m unable to escalate this further”
I asked 3 times where I can get help. I never got an answer.
Nobody asked for my channel ID or the linked account IDs. The chat was closed with “nothing more I can add.”
I’m not asking for the decision to be overturned. I’m asking someone to look at the timeline and tell me how this is circumvention.

DAY 2 OF FIGHTING FOR MY YOUTUBE CHANNELS. 💔
@TeamYouTube
YouTube terminated BOTH of my channels for “circumvention” after a friend’s account, which was logged in on my device, got terminated. My appeal? REJECTED within hours. No explanation. No transparency. Just another automated response. 🤖
Let me explain what makes this so frustrating.
Circumvention means creating or using another channel to bypass a termination. But my main channel was created in 2023 — LONG BEFORE I EVER LOGGED INTO MY FRIEND’S ACCOUNT. I didn’t create it to bypass anything. It was MY OWN channel.
Yet YouTube terminated my channels without giving me a clear explanation of how I violated this policy.
They claim my appeal was reviewed, but how can I trust that a fair, thorough review actually happened when the decision came back within hours?
I’m not asking for special treatment. I’m not asking to be above the rules. I’M ASKING FOR A FAIR CHANCE TO BE HEARD.
I worked hard for my channel, and reaching 1,000 subscribers meant everything to me. Watching it disappear like this, without a clear explanation, is heartbreaking.
Does a small creator’s hard work mean nothing? Do we only deserve a real human review if we have millions of subscribers?
@TeamYouTube@YouTube, PLEASE, I’m begging you to look at my case again. 🙏
I WANT A GENUINE HUMAN REVIEW, NOT ANOTHER COPY-PASTE RESPONSE.
These are my channels URL (main one) - https://t.co/GRmdSu2jNu
Second channel - https://t.co/75TA1aawG2
Please help me get this in front of someone who will actually listen. A fair review is all I’m asking for.

I didn’t create any new account after my friend’s account was terminated. My account existed long before (2023) my friend’s account was even created (2025) so I wasn’t creating a new account to bypass any termination. According to YouTube’s circumvention policy, I don’t believe my situation qualifies as circumvention. Yet my account was still terminated seemingly without a proper human review.
