I've been posting on @youtube for 17 years, I love making content and learning art through teaching. My page has over 30 million views and now it's getting taken over by crypto scammers. Please help @TeamYouTube@Google

Cheecken is bringing up valuable points in this video. I'm glad he's raising awareness - after this YouTube debacle, it's become painfully clear how important it is to stay connected to other creators.

... aaaaand, we're back! https://t.co/nbEWoutwk7
Now, on to restoring all the videos and cleaning up the damage the hijackers did - thanks everyone for your support, sharing and retweeting, I think it really made a difference!
Thanks so much for the bump @AdamKoralik - I've still gotten no further on the Google side, sadly... just 'thanks for your steadfast patience' or 'rest assured, we'll let you know', etc. Maybe stirring the pot some more will help!
There's been some updates to my YouTube channel having been hacked, how this is becoming a bit of an epidemic, and what you can try to do to avoid it.

No actual progress on the @YouTube hijacking situation. I've been told to wait, over and over again - it's so discouraging. In every other case I've learned of, reinstatement was fairly quick. I appreciate all your support, it seems to be the only way to get through right now.
YouTuber friends using SMS 2fa, this could happen to you!
You’d think with 800k followers Sycra would have gotten more than what looks to be automated responses for an account hijacking.
@Kurenai_5000@YouTube@sinix777 Thanks for the tip - yeah, a few years back I told people that they could take my videos and reupload them. There is someone who made a 'Sycra Backup' channel with some of the tutorials. I had everything on a hard drive, but lost that when the town flooded.
An update on the @YouTube situation: my channel is still suspended. No updates for the past days. Youtube is aware the channel was hijacked, but it doesn't seem to matter. @sinix777 made a video about this: https://t.co/Z1iSUQlv5v
@MariusBota@YouTube@sinix777@TeamYouTube Thanks Marius! The support means a lot to me. I think, right now, the only way to help is to share this info, until it reaches the right ears. Or, apparently, any sort of human ears over at @YouTube legal.
I've been talking to people, and lots of channels have been impacted by this exact situation lately. @AdamKoralik is one of them. Thankfully, he got his channel back!
@mythichorse Hey @mythichorse - my channel also got hacked a few days ago, same exact MO, with the microstrategy scam, would you mind DM-ing me? glad to hear you're going to be back soon!
@Kurenai_5000 Yeah, I've DMed them already, I'm hoping this gets resolved. Didn't think Gmail accounts were at such high risk, even with extra authentication in place. I'd hate for anyone to be scammed by these people who took over the channel - hope no one falls for it.
If you get notified about new videos on my YouTube channel, it's not me. Someone's hacked into my Gmail and has taken over the Sycra channel. Turned it into some microstrategy thing. Don't click on any of their stuff, please.
