@YouTubeCreators Oh yeah? What about @WeDoAIStuff ?
YouTube is fucking trash

@WeDoAIStuff @TeamYouTube @YouTube what is wrong with you guys???? Do the right thing!!

@Insidecreateurs @WeDoAIStuff This is the most ridiculous shit I’ve read all week. Clearly you have no clue what the fuck you’re talking about. I’ve been following this story for almost two years and it’s some of the most authentic storytelling I’ve ever listened to.

One screenshot. YouTube's own dashboard. Same channel, within two days

Three days ago YouTube demonetised my channel of 154 episodes for "inauthentic content - mass produced." My appeal came back denied yesterday.

The same week, YouTube's own analytics tool generated this assessment of my latest episode: "performing exceptionally well... an outlier in the best possible way."

I've spent 3 years, working 50-70 hours per week building a serialised D&D campaign in an original world, with an audience of 1,250+ paying supporters across BOTH YouTube + Patreon, 500 of whom are now being cut off from supporting what they love, losing membership badges they've held for 2+ years.

If nothing else, this is unfair to them, and the damage is done.

The denial cites "similar template across multiple videos" as the reason. That criteria applies to every podcast, every gameplay channel, every long-form actual play show on YouTube. I'd genuinely like to understand what specifically distinguishes my work from the formats YouTube actively recommends.

The denial also says I can reapply in 90 days "after making changes." But the same email says they can't tell me which videos triggered the decision. You can't fix what you can't identify.

And at the risk of repeating myself, what good does that do for the woman who has been with the channel for 1 year 8 months, or the man for 2 years 5 months? Nothing. They're two of the 500 people now being cut off from supporting work they love, through no decision of their own. Or mine.

To @TeamYouTube - please open this case for human review. Every cited claim has been addressed with evidence in the replies below.

To my audience - please be respectful and polite if you engage. The work continues. I'll see you all Friday on Patreon.

@WeDoAIStuff This channel means so much to me, I’ve been watching for as long as I can remember, and I can’t get enough of the story every week it is posted.

@TeamYouTube please fix this, I vouch for Lewis!

[DB @DB68284248]

@WeDoAIStuff I love your content and hope this gets fixed and soon. Your last episode was my favourite. I’ve watched everything and become a patron, to help support something that I truly enjoy and love watching for the last two years.

@WeDoAIStuff What a blunder @YouTube i want my membership back. Please fix this.

[Barça Purist @PuristBarca]

@WeDoAIStuff @TeamYouTube This is easily one of the best channels in your platform. If anything, it should be doing 10x the numbers, and any actual human reviewing this will be able to see its original value is in the top .01% of your channels.

Please revise this decision.

@WeDoAIStuff Youtube has genuinely fallen so far. This is incredibly upsetting. I never use X but came here to say that there is nothing I look forward to more each week than these videos. Every episode is original and the story is absolutely enthralling. @YouTube PLEASE LOOK CLOSER.
