A month ago today I had my YouTube channel terminated with no warning, for a link @YouTube allowed me to have in the description of my videos for years.
As per their their policies (and the email they sent days after) it should have just been a warning.
They reinstate creators with direct links to their Onlyfans through their instagram, but refuse to reinstate channels that have no current links to adult websites whatsoever.
Make it make sense @TeamYouTube
Hi @TeamYouTube,
My channel was terminated and I submitted
an appeal more than 24h ago
I only create original podcast content and never post spam, scams, or misleading videos Kindly update me on the review status This channel is my hard work & dream 🙏❤️

YOUTUBE, STOP IGNORING TERMINATED CREATORS ‼️
Having a channel you spent YEARS BUILDING and a fanbase that genuinely loves your content means the world to people.
You spend years making videos.
You entertain people.
You build a community.
You create memories with your fans.
Then YouTube can TAKE IT ALL AWAY IN SECONDS.
You get terminated.
You appeal.
Your appeal gets DENIED IN MINUTES BY AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM.
And then?
NOTHING.
You’re left begging for help while your CHANNEL, COMMUNITY, MEMORIES, INCOME, AND YEARS OF WORK are gone.
Some creators eventually GIVE UP.
Some are left DEEPLY HURT AND DEPRESSED because something they dedicated years of their life to was ripped away and YouTube won’t even properly listen.
CREATORS ARE HUMAN BEINGS. STOP TREATING US LIKE NUMBERS.
If you were TERMINATED, DEMONETIZED, SUSPENDED, OR WRONGED BY YOUTUBE, drop what happened in the comments.
TELL YOUR STORY. 👇
Let other creators see how many people have been through this.
And YouTube, here’s what happened to me:
I lost a 40K CHANNEL I BUILT IN 5 MONTHS that brought in 10 MILLION VIEWS with 1,000+ VIDEOS AND 0 VIOLATIONS.
Then on MAY 13TH, your platform had a VERIFIED UPLOAD OUTAGE.
I made repeated upload attempts while your platform was having that outage, and my channel was terminated for circumvention.
You still haven’t properly looked into WHY MY CHANNEL WAS REMOVED ON THAT EXACT DAY AFTER THOSE FAILED UPLOAD ATTEMPTS.
And you still won’t address why YOUR OWN SUPPORT TEAM TOLD ME I WAS FINE TO CONTINUE USING MY OTHER CHANNELS ON DIFFERENT EMAILS.
I followed the answer your own team gave me, built an even bigger fanbase, and then LOST THAT CHANNEL TOO.
IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?
TO HURT CREATORS, HAVE A TERRIBLE SUPPORT TEAM THAT LEADS CREATORS INTO EVEN MORE DEPRESSION, TAKE AWAY EVERYTHING THEY BUILT, AND THEN IGNORE THEM WHEN THEY BEG FOR HELP?
I JUST WANT MY CHANNEL BACK, MAN.
PLEASE @TeamYouTube. LOOK AT MY CASE. LOOK AT ALL OF OUR CASES.
PLEASE LIKE & REPOST.
@TeamYouTube And this is what false hope looks like and AI review looks like in a nutshell everyone. Half a day and the same result I come to expect from #AITube
Your first mistake is believing that ID age verification is being done to "protect minors" 😂 oh yeah dude, because the government has REALLY shown that they care about protecting kids right? I can recall one set of unreleased files that prove otherwise 🤔

@TeamYouTube Is the specialist a real person? If not this is gonna cause more stress so please inform me it’s a person taking a lot and not an AI thank you.
@TeamYouTube I just got this video down for violating community guidelines for a drawing seriously fix your AI problem and I am sick of these “violations” over a drawing of a gun
🚨 I’ve submitted my appeal to YouTube.
YouTube has confirmed that they received my appeal and will take another careful look at my channel. They said they’ll follow up by email once they have an answer.
I have always maintained that I have not committed any violation. I’ve read YouTube’s policies and guidelines dozens of times, and I genuinely believe my channel was terminated by mistake.
Now I’m asking @TeamYouTube for a proper human/manual review of my channel and content.
Please carefully review my case and give me a fair chance to be heard.
This is not just a channel — it represents years of hard work, dedication, and a creator’s dream.

This is honestly getting really old at this point, no formal communication just kept taking down videos one after another without addressing exact details and hide behind firearms policy. Keep in mind guns that are used are used for scale not shooting.
I have officially filed a dispute against @YouTube under Article 21 of the EU (DSA) regarding my channel termination for spam.
@TeamYouTube must now engage in the independent dispute process in good faith. Share this so someone from YouTube sees it. Thank you all! #DSA#YouTube
Youtube messaged me! YIPPEE! 🥳
Oh wait… they messaged me with yet ANOTHER AI automated response! 🤣🤣🤣
There is it feels like no way forward with the new youtube AI moderation.
I will keep outing publicly how coming to youtube support on social media, getting 10000s of views on your posts begging for your channel back, proving you did NOTHING wrong will have no outcome because of AI bot responses.
I am appalled, which i’m sure you guys are too, and this is just unbelievable!
GIVE ME MY CHANNEL BACK @TeamYouTube@YouTube@YouTubeCreators

🚨 1.7M+ SUBSCRIBERS. NEARLY 6 YEARS OF HARD WORK. AND I WILL NOT STOP. 💔
My verified YouTube channel with 1.7M+ subscribers was terminated after nearly 6 years of hard work, dedication, and building a real community.
🔴 My Channel:
https://t.co/4TgVt7MLOz
YouTube linked my channel to another channel under a “Circumvention” violation:
🔴 Linked Channel:
https://t.co/gRoWZJbYky
I have never owned, created, controlled, or used that channel to bypass YouTube enforcement.
A shared Wi-Fi, router, or public IP does NOT prove that two channels belong to the same person. Ownership, login activity, devices, verification details, and account history should be properly checked.
I’ve appealed. I’ve explained everything. I’ve provided the information I can.
But I WILL NOT STAY SILENT.
And this isn’t happening only to me.
Many creators are facing the same nightmare — channels being removed and years of hard work disappearing because of automated systems and AI-driven decisions that can get things wrong.
A system can make a mistake in seconds.
A creator can spend years paying the price for that mistake. 😔💔
Behind every channel is a real person, real work, and a real community.
I’m not asking for special treatment.
I’m asking for a genuine HUMAN/MANUAL REVIEW.
Check the actual evidence. Check the ownership. Check the login history. Check everything properly.
🔥 I WILL NOT STOP.
No matter how long it takes.
No matter how difficult it gets.
I will continue speaking up until my case receives a fair review.
🙏 If you believe creators deserve a fair human review, LIKE, COMMENT & SHARE this Tweet so it reaches the right people.
@vidIQ — if you see this, please help us amplify this case and get it in front of the right people. 🙏
@YouTube@TeamYouTube — all I’m asking for is a fair and genuine human review.
💔 Nearly 6 years of hard work should not be erased by an automated decision without giving the creator a proper chance to be heard.

They falsely terminated my channel for impersonating.. myself after I changed my username. They rejected every appeal. @TeamYouTube’s ai moderation has go to go.
I’m exhausted from constantly tagging @TeamYouTube and begging for my channel back. No second chance, no clear explanation of what we violated. What exactly are you asking from us? If channels are just going to be terminated without proper answers, then what is YouTube for?
🚨YouTube please stop ignoring me and other creators who need help.
Please help us.
I am stressed and I know other creators are stressed too. Channels getting ripped away. Money getting ripped away. Strikes landing with no warning. People abusing the copyright system. Creators sitting there every day wondering if their channels are safe or if their hard work is permanently gone.
Please stop only helping the bigger creators and help us all.
YouTube Support told me I was good. Trust and Safety came behind them 6 months later and took everything anyway.
That is two teams running two different YouTubes.
And I am the one who lost my channel because of it.
This was not normal circumvention. Your May 13 outage caused it. Uploads failed. Untitled errors. I retried because YOUR platform was down. Then you called those failed retries circumvention.
One team said “yes, your other channels are fine.”
The other team banned me like that chat never happened.
If Support can say you’re fine, Trust and Safety should not be able to take it with no explanation.
If Trust and Safety can take it, Support should not be able to tell creators they are safe.
Pick one.
Stop punishing creators for listening to your own Support team.
You lead us to listen to Support then punish us for following support.
Why?
It has been 4 months since May 13 to today and I’ve been stressed the entire time.
I wasted 5 months of my life everyday thinking I was ok build a channel to 40k after support said I was fine then it got ripped away by your trust and safety team.
Now you won’t help?
I listened to your team then got everything I had on YouTube removed because of it.
Review the chat. Review the outage. Review why one department said I was fine and the other department took it anyway.
Tag @TeamYouTube and repost please.
But you guys have stated that anyone who has been caught abusing your copyright system will have their channel terminated
Here is a screenshot of a YouTuber admitting to falsely copyright striking me 2 YEARS AGO. Despite removing the copyright strike, you guys never banned him
