Creators have been complaining for a long time, and their concerns have finally reached federal authorities.
YouTube has been terminating creators’ accounts with little to no explanation and seemingly no reliable system for resolving mistakes.
Now, the FTC is reportedly preparing a lawsuit against YouTube over allegations that the platform misled users about its content policies before suspending their accounts.
Meta also recently lost a multibillion-dollar lawsuit. No matter how you feel about Trump, his administration appears serious about holding Big Tech accountable when these companies allegedly mistreat their users.
What do you think about this?
Either @TeamYouTube has psychic powers
or they send the same copy-paste reply without knowing which channel they’re replying to.
I contacted them from a different account and never mentioned my channel.
Their reply:
“We’ve completed a final review of your account.”
Whaaat?
.@TeamYouTube in fact uses a fake "human here" public persona to drag creators into DMs & hide broken bugs. A real human analyst doesn't drop identical public & private rejections at the exact same second, nor do they conduct "final audits" at 3:43 AM. Stop the automated theater.
Flagging bad channels is necessary.
But first the detection system needs to be accurate. (Which it isn’t )
Then a real human should be involved before a channel is terminated. (Which there isn’t )
And if mistakes still happen, creators need access to actual human support, not endless automated replies. (Most don’t get that either )
I’ve spent 8 months fighting my termination.
Why would I do that if I knew I had posted scam links, spam, or deceptive content?
I ran a small documentary channel for 2.5 years and was perfectly happy doing so.
I wanted nothing more than my small subscribers. I loved that small audience.
YouTube shouldn’t be like this!
Every creator must get the same chance, from big to small.
All I'm asking for is the chance to have my case looked at by an actual person who can review and make a fair decision.

@nealmohan@reneritchie This is the joke of the year. you let AI ruin lives of many of your own creators then you start promoting AI guardrails. And now in the name of the NO FAKES Act?
The word “fake” has lost all meaning today.

Hey TastyPaperclips, I don’t know if you know this or not (been dealing with this for almost 8 months now) The conversations you’re having with Creator Support chat are almost certainly AI chatbots.
I’ve approached them from every angle imaginable and I’m pretty convinced there isn’t a real human behind those chats.
So try not to get too frustrated with their responses, they’re trained to give the same scripted answers.
The best thing you can do is make noise here and if possible, file a complaint through any available channels. Those are probably our best chances. That said I’ve tried those routes too and haven’t gotten anywhere yet 😂 Youtube is brain fucking us all
I just wanted to let you know that those support chats are very unlikely to lead anywhere or at least i think so.
