@grok My yt channel has a massive metadata bug: 174 real videos vs 903 displayed. Support acknowledged the bug but just threatened me with a 30-day ban for following up. How should a partner handle a "Support Deadlock" when the platform's math is objectively wrong?
My channel is experiencing a massive metadata bug (174 actual videos vs 903 displayed). Support Case [7-8906000040186] has been open for 30+ days. Instead of a fix, I was just threatened with a 30-day support ban for following up. Please help @TeamYouTube@YouTubeIndia
@TeamYouTube Thank you but the case was closed without resolution while the homepage counter continues increasing (currently 903 incorrect vs 174 actual). Since the discrepancy persists and worsens, could this be reviewed at an engineering level rather than via standard support?
@TeamYouTube My channel has 174 public videos but homepage displays 903 and increasing without uploads. Support confirmed homepage should reflect public videos only. Count changes dynamically but totals don’t reconcile. This appears to be a data indexing issue. Please help.
@TeamYouTube Hey there! I have only 176 public videos there on my channel including full plus shorts. Still there is 468 videos count is shown publicly which is inaccurate even if you counted my private ones. Also my revenue has dropped down dramatically. Please help!
Update: Screenshot attached — YouTube homepage now shows 903 total videos, while SocialBlade (YouTube API) confirms 174. This clearly indicates a UI counter mismatch. @TeamYouTube
Adding supporting data:
SocialBlade (which pulls from YouTube API) correctly shows 174 total videos for my channel.
This confirms the actual channel data is 174, while the homepage counter shows 903 and increasing.
This appears to be a front-end/UI aggregation mismatch.
@TeamYouTube First screenshot shows 468 videos. Within 24 hours, the public count jumped to 550 without uploads.
Did I upload 82 videos overnight? If yes, where are they?
This is a data inconsistency. Please acknowledge or explain.
@TeamYouTube This is happening across the devices. Even third party people can view it as the total number of videos is publicly shown. Tried all troubleshooting options.
@TeamYouTube@TeamYouTube As I’ve successfully regained full access to my Google & YouTube account now please close any duplicate or ongoing escalations regarding my account since 7th Oct to avoid confusion!
Appreciate your quick support always ❤️
@TeamYouTube Huge thanks to @TeamYouTube and Creator Support for helping me recover my hijacked YouTube account! 🙏 Your guidance and quick action made all the difference. Grateful for your support and dedication! 💯
@TeamYouTube Hi @TeamYouTube, regarding [#9-6558000040192] — I’ve received the password reset link but faced redirection issues. I’ve sent screenshots and details to Creator Support. Awaiting the next steps to fully recover my hijacked account. Thanks for your help 🙏
@TeamYouTube Hi @TeamYouTube, my account ([email protected]) was hijacked 5 days ago. I’ve followed all recovery steps & even my recovery email ([email protected]) got a similar reply. Still locked out despite proof & access via my wife’s editor role. Please help 🙏
@TeamYouTube@TeamYouTube Thanks for the update and security reminder. I’ve deleted those tweets. I’m already in touch with the Creator Support team and waiting for their next update, as my account is still locked and inaccessible. Appreciate your quick responses and guidance 🙏
@TeamYouTube Hi @TeamYouTube — Update on my hijacked channel “Atharva Hardikar” (62K subs). Partner Support confirmed my case has been escalated to the Account Recovery team.
Channel & AdSense are at risk due to hacker activity. Please continue to prioritize 🙏 #TeamYouTube#YoutubeHelp
@TeamYouTube Hi again @TeamYouTube — it’s been almost a full day since I reported the hijack (Bitcoin livestream).
Still no update from Creator Support. I’ve followed the instructions and filed the follow-up escalations claim. Please escalate — my case email is [email protected]
@TeamYouTube Thanks for replying @TeamYouTube. Following up on my hijack case: my channel https://t.co/zecDkxxiW1 is still linked to my Facebook (I control it) & I currently have no access to the associated Adsense. Please advise on restoring access 🙏
I’ve already submitted the Hijacked Account Recovery Form through YouTube Help Centre but haven’t received any response yet.
Could you please confirm if my case is in the review queue? 2/2
Hey @TeamYouTube,
My YouTube channel Atharva Hardikar (https://t.co/zecDkxxiW1) was hijacked along with my Gmail. My old X account was also compromised, so I’m reaching out from this new handle 1/2
