@Animeako126 @TeamYouTube @YouTubeIndia @YouTube @YouTubeCreators @nealmohan @narendramodi @UpdatesFromYT Yea, if your a small creator your pretty much cooked. They have the biggest monopoly in the world so they can really do whatever they want, we have to conform to whatever they decide and its all a guessing game

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@goldenwhispertv @TeamYouTube The issue unfortunately is this specific topic for this niche is everywhere. I 100% think its likely Titles, Thumbnails and Content. AI Stories arent dead, but the My Wife Left Me For or He Cheated on Her With WHO? is dead and gets you flagged now. Its basically reddit stories

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@MindPalace1233 @YouTube @TeamYouTube Even if your not automated or templated, the fact that it COULD be is the issue, thats why you have to change up the style every video, Go watch some Horror Narration channels or Audiobooks and you will see something different in every video

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@MindPalace1233 @YouTube @TeamYouTube So it's not the format you are using, like YouTube doesn't care if you have a static image channel, sleep channels do it, but each video has to prove human authorship and be different from the video before it. Your content CAN be automated and looks like it COULD be templated

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@MindPalace1233 @YouTube @TeamYouTube You will have to learn that what your VIEWERS like doesn't always equal the requirements for YouTube. As a creator its your job to skate both those lines when doing faceless content. I fell into the same trap, I found something that worked and did it over and over and got flagged

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@Lordofacca @TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators @nealmohan @YouTube So I noticed with my channel too, I started doing episodic series with a show and that hit me with repetitive flag. Storytelling channels got crushed this time and most were original stories/episodic content.

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@PTYT007 @TeamYouTube Usually if you get denied twice, you have to wait 90 days and fix whatever they didn't like on your channel. Some people will get remonetized, but it 100% depends on why they were flagged, originality and creativity aren't triggers anymore, its formats and design.

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@ugeeyoutube @TeamYouTube Its very hard to get appealed now. only like 5% of those affected were able to get their monetization back. Even if your fully original and put real work in, they are target precise details in the new policies and that going to be hard for the future.

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@AC15912733 Nope, Denied even though everything I do is original work too. Smaller creators can't really fight it as we dont have the X presence needed, cant monetize another channel and have to wait for 3 months to hopefully reapply

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@freddyfolktales @AC15912733 @YouTube @TeamYouTube It sucks because even if you made one mistake, there is no warning or heads up that you made a mistake, its just your gone figure out what you did and dont do it it in 3 months

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@freddyfolktales @AC15912733 @YouTube @TeamYouTube How To Videos Maybe, Face On Support Channels or Cookie Cutter AI Explainers with your face. Noone knows anymore, all the original storytelling channels keep getting demonetized and rejected appeals when obviously there is human creation behind the scenes.

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@goldenwhispertv @TeamYouTube Just looked at your channel, this niche is getting destroyed unfortunately. The Nigerian AI movies with these kinds of titles and thumbnails, its not the quality of the work that went into it, its the niche itself combined with the intellionally shocking titles and thumbnails

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@TeamYouTube Your policy allows series with distinct storylines. My thread compares Claire, Gavin and Marcus and their different conflicts and outcomes. Could you explain where these examples fall short, so I can address the actual concern before reapplying?

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@TeamYouTube My YPP appeal was denied for "generic or repetitive content." Could you check whether my original Bellhaven fiction series was misclassified and whether an escalation is possible?

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@TeamYouTube Thank you for the manual review. Could you clarify whether the concern is the narrated still-image presentation, repetition in the stories themselves, or both? One representative video or example would help me make meaningful changes.

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@TeamYouTube Thank you for passing this along for further review. I appreciate your help. I’m happy to provide any additional scripts, continuity notes, or production examples if the review team needs them.

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@TeamYouTube I understand my appeal was rejected. I can provide the full appeal, scripts and production examples. Could you advise whether this evidence warrants further review, or what specific repetition I need to address? Thank you.

[Michael @SSSOriginals]

@TeamYouTube Your monetization policy allows recurring-character series when episodes have distinct storylines, focuses or concepts. Could these examples be assessed against that distinction?

@TeamYouTube I use generative tools for parts of scripting, narration and visuals but mostly as a databank so I can properly keep lore and mystery going over a long story arc. I create the worldbuilding and ideas, direct, and edit them. These show my decisions, revisions and continuity work.
