@YouTube I’m deeply disappointed. I spent 15 years creating content on YouTube, and then one day, completely out of nowhere, I was hit with multiple violations for “Harassment and Cyberbullying.” Everything happened extremely quickly, and my channel was terminated.

It feels strange. I waited three days for the YouTube team to review my case. I was hit with multiple harassment violations within just one week, and in one of the timestamps where we were supposedly “harassing” someone, we were literally talking about markers. I asked them to look into it, they moved the conversation to DMs and told me they would review everything. But after three days, I received the same generic response as always. Nobody explained how a conversation about markers could possibly be considered harassment. I still don’t even know what I supposedly violated in the third case, because the channel was simply terminated before I could properly understand it. And I’m not even asking to keep using that channel. I’m asking for a compromise. I’ve been on YouTube for 15 years and have never had problems like this before. I’m asking to keep the ability to work on my old channels, including one with almost 500,000 subscribers, which has never had any violations. But it seems like nobody actually wants to look into the situation. Or is there still something that can be done? @TeamYouTube
@TeamYouTube Come on, come on, come on, you can do it, sweetheart, I believe in you. You’ll save my channel. I’m glad you reached out to me, and I’m sure you’ll succeed.
I think there may be some confusion here. All of my appeals were reviewed within just a few minutes. Only the appeal against the channel termination itself remained under review for maybe an hour at most.I honestly do not understand how it was possible to watch everything, understand the context, and properly review the content in such a short amount of time. Also, I still have not received a single email about the termination or the appeals. Could you please simply help me remove the videos that caused these violations, so that I can continue working on my other YouTube channels? Some of those channels are already around 15 years old and have no violations at all. I would be extremely grateful if you could meet me halfway and give me that opportunity.

Hello @TeamYouTube
I have a serious problem and I honestly no longer know where else to turn for help.
I have been creating content on YouTube for 15 years, and during all that time I have never had serious issues with the platform. Please help me understand what is happening
Recently, one of my channels started receiving a large number of violations for “Harassment and Cyberbullying.” In one case, YouTube provided a specific timestamp where we were supposedly violating the rules, but at that exact moment we were discussing completely unrelated topics.
I submitted an appeal, but it was reviewed and rejected in about two minutes. I genuinely do not understand how content can be properly reviewed in just a few minutes or even half an hour when the video in question may be two hours long.
Our format is entertainment and reaction content. We have been creating this type of content for years without any major issues.
If YouTube’s rules have recently become much stricter, or if something else has changed, I am asking for at least one chance to remove all potentially problematic videos. I want to be able to continue working on my other channels, some of which are also around 15 years old and have no violations at all.
YouTube has literally been a huge part of my life. I have always tried to follow the rules, but during the past two weeks something suddenly changed, and my channel was flooded with violations.
Please, I am asking for a proper manual review of my case and, if restoration is not possible, at least an opportunity to remove the videos in question and continue using my other channels.

Some appeals were reviewed in just 2 minutes. Support even told me I was permanently banned and could not appeal, which was false. YouTube, please let someone competent review my channel and at least give me a chance to delete all videos and fix the situation. @TeamYouTube
Even if restoring my channel is impossible, please allow me to remove the videos responsible for the violations so that I am not permanently treated as a repeat or malicious offender.
I just hope that someone at YouTube will finally take a closer look at my case. After 15 years on the platform, I would at least like a fair and thorough review.
There was nothing even remotely related to harassment.
Unfortunately, my conversations with YouTube Support have not helped either. The support representatives often seem unable to properly explain what happened or provide any meaningful information about the violations.
Some of my appeals appeared to be reviewed in about two minutes before being rejected. In one case, YouTube even provided a timestamp where we were supposedly harassing or insulting someone, but at that exact moment we were simply talking about markers and loans.
