🚨 @TeamYouTube

Neal Mohan publicly talks about YouTube making “record profits,” but forgets to mention where a huge part of that money suddenly came from.

Since the 2025 policy changes, YouTube didn’t introduce any revolutionary updates that massively increased platform value:
• No huge new audience influx
• No groundbreaking creator features
• No major innovations bringing record growth

Yet somehow profits exploded.

Why?

Because thousands of creators were demonetized while YouTube continued running ads on their videos and keeping 100% of the revenue.

That’s the part nobody wants to talk about.

The most absurd part is this:
The same content YouTube labels as “inauthentic” continues getting pushed by the algorithm.
➡️ It still gets recommended
➡️ Still finds new viewers
➡️ Still gets likes, comments, engagement
➡️ Still earns money for YouTube

So if the content is supposedly “bad,” “spam,” or “inauthentic,” then why does the algorithm continue promoting it?

And then creators are told:
“Wait 90 days and appeal again.”

But during those 90 days:
• The creator loses income
• The channel continues generating ad revenue
• YouTube keeps all the profit
• And by the time monetization MAYBE returns, the channel is often already exhausted by the algorithm

Meanwhile large creators with repetitive formats, repeated thumbnail structures, recycled series concepts, compilation channels, and mass-produced entertainment formats continue staying fully monetized without problems.

So where exactly is the line?

Why are smaller creators punished while massive creators doing extremely similar content structures remain protected?

And before anyone twists the point:
Most creators were never trying to replace humans completely. People simply used modern tools to improve editing, visuals, workflow, storytelling, thumbnails, or production quality.

That is still work.
That is still creativity.
That is still content creation.

So YouTube, what exactly are the real rules anymo

[Chris Pavlovski 🏴‍☠️ @chrispavlovski]

Apparently, YouTube is using AI to demonetize and suspend accounts.

Rumble will do the complete opposite.

We are building in a new process where an actual human will reach out when their is a ban or demonetization issue.

Authentic, human support is a priority.

[Fandom Pulse @fandompulse]

After demonetizing a load of creators, YouTube sees a double-digit uptick in ad revenue in 2026, generating $9.88B of ad sales in Q1 (up 10.7% year over year).

The platform generated more than $60B in revenue in 2025, according to Alphabet, making it the industry’s biggest winner in terms of entertainment revenue.

Is this why they're nuking so many creators so they don't have to pay out?

[Megan Fox @MeganFoxWriter]

Where are the opportunistic lawyers who see a class action lawsuit in what YouTube has done? They confiscated money creators ALREADY MADE including superchats given to them by the audience! How is this not fraud, theft, and deceptive practice? Can some lawyers comment on this please?

[Jim Satala @JimSatala]

How Much Money did YouTube Steal over the past Month? seems like they might have taken advantage of this almost total purge of Channels, Hundreds of thousands of channels have been hit and even when you win the appeal YouTube holds back your money for an extra month..Does this rise to fraud? @CivilRights @FBIDirectorKash @FBIDDBongino @FBI

It seems like I am not the only one StoryBlocks took money from while having a valid license.

This is outrageous.

@flyosity @alexhorre https://t.co/A9KQAyD5H8 he responded on this post

[Rob @Rrrob10]

Wow, how can it takes weeks for YouTube to realize they’ve made a mistake and let their creators lose thousands in earnings? Something is not right

[Rob @Rrrob10]

Never had any terminated channels before, I’ve generated multiple seven figures on the platform (invested millions as well) and thought I was following the guidelines very well. The fact that they can’t give proper warnings to established partners with millions of subscribers shows that they don’t seem to want to build a good relationship with their creators who counts on youtube as their core revenue stream. It’s very disappointing.

[Rob @Rrrob10]

Will YouTube ever give us an update on what’s going on?

If you take a look at the replies of @TeamYouTube , you’ll see that there is a significant increase of people saying that their channel have gotten terminated or demonetized lately, which is a worrying trend that seems to get worse and worse by the day.

There are no updates or transparency on any policy changes from YouTube which would allow us creators to understand what’s happening and be able to adjust.

They are leaving their creators in the dark with their livelihood taken away in an instant.

I think now is a good time to give an update for creators to feel safe to continue creating content on the platform. @YouTubeLiaison

[Rob @Rrrob10]

Unbelievable @TeamYouTube Another 145k subs channel terminated without warning

[Tales From The Trip! @TheTripKeeper]

Yes, my channel got taken down in the middle of the night and it's a very weird feeling. What you can do to help:
Just spam @TeamYouTube on here and tell them you think YouTube made a mistake with their decision and to use my channel name, thank you all!

[Rob @Rrrob10]

@RunNGunYT @TeamYouTube ”99.99%” thats not true. Majority of people getting demonetized right now are putting hours into making their content, which is why many are getting their appeals approved.

YouTube is unfairly demonetizing real creators recently without letting us know what’s going on.

[Rob @Rrrob10]

@boerkampies @TeamYouTube This is not true, I know several channels with real VOs getting demonetized as well. Either way, an update from YouTube is important for us to understand how to proceed making content the right way.

[Rob @Rrrob10]

A few of many that have gotten terminated in the recent days:

@TeamYouTube @YouTubeIndia my channel (https://t.co/xzthlWsPJp) was removed for spam, deceptive content.I have appealed and got rejection email within 6 mins,The channel had no prior strikes and monetized 2 months prior to the removal.I believe this is an error. Please help

[Rob @Rrrob10]

I have still not gotten a single response from YouTube after getting channels with +1M subscribers terminated, generating thousands per month in lost income without warnings. I will continue to fight for an answer and will not allow terminations of this size without any explanation, nor a chance to adapt your content to YouTube’s changing policies.

[Rob @Rrrob10]

This goes directly against the update they released 5 months ago, specifically highlighting the three strike policy and mentioning that they will make policies easier to understand.
