Hi @TeamYouTube My channel “sonaliiichavan” was terminated due to copyright strikes without prior warning. I’m a small creator, and this was an honest mistake. I never intended to violate any rules. I’m willing to remove all the videos. Pls give me one chance to correct this.
Hey @TeamYouTube, my channel "Remix ® Vibes" was banned for Circumvention. My videos & thumbnails are 100% clean.I believe this automation was triggered by a prior channel removal linked to a shared WiFi, IP, or old login.Please human-review my case.

"My channel was terminated without any valid reason. I never violated any guidelines, yet the appeals are getting rejected automatically. @TeamYouTube please review my case manually. I'm a genuine creator."
Update: got the email back from @TeamYouTube. It says the internal team “already reviewed” my appeal and that I can reapply in 90 days.
Still no explanation of what makes my content generic, repetitive or off-putting. It’s also unclear whether the additional review I was offered actually happened.
Ridiculous
YouTube is SCAMMING creators by taking their income and not giving ANY explanation as to why.
Bloomberg reported that the @FTC is investigating whether YouTube is misleading users about what they’re allowed to post, only to later remove their content or suspend their accounts. Established creators are also losing their channels and income through fraudulent AI enforcement.
Creators look at already monetized channels to understand what’s acceptable, then put their own spin on what works. Yet YouTube won’t explain why one channel gets paid while another gets suspended for similar content.
This is what happened to me. YouTube approved my channel for monetization, then suspended it 11 days later despite my content not changing at all in that time.
I started making changes before submitting my appeal. It was denied. I tried again through Creator Support and was denied again. When I followed up with questions, they left me without an answer for over a week, then sent me a satisfaction survey instead of answering.
So I went to X. @TeamYouTube opened a case and told me I’d receive an email within 24–48 hours.
EIGHT DAYS AND THREE FOLLOW-UPS LATER, I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THAT EMAIL, DESPITE REPEATED ASSURANCES THAT MY CASE WAS BEING WORKED ON.
I contacted Creator Support about the delay. They said X “frequently opens tracking cases” to “route inquiries to our specialized support queues for a closer look.” Then they told me further contact on that ticket would lead to the same outcome.
In other words, the promised email never arrived, despite repeated assurances that my case was being worked on. And I’m not the only creator reporting the same runaround.
NOT TO MENTION, YOUTUBE DELIBERATELY MISLEADS ITS CREATORS INTO BELIEVING THAT THE CREATOR SUPPORT SPECIALIST THEY’RE SPEAKING TO IS HUMAN BY GIVING THEM A NAME, WHEN IN REALITY IT’S LIKELY JUST AN AI WITH TEMPLATED RESPONSES.
I believe this because, after repeated conversations with Creator Support specialists, I’ve asked whether I’m speaking with a human, and they’ve completely avoided the question before ending the conversation.
YouTube keeps saying the decision is “final,” yet Explore With Us had its monetization restored within days after widespread public attention. Other creators have also shared accounts of early reinstatement on X and Reddit. Clearly, reconsideration is possible.
Meanwhile, roughly $4,000 I earned while approved for monetization remains unpaid. I’ve repeatedly asked whether it will be released and still haven’t received a direct answer. YouTube benefited from my work. I’m still waiting for my money. This is an unacceptable failure of accountability and a full-blown SCAM.
@nealmohan This is absolutely unacceptable.
Why I did not break any rules, still the channel is being removed. One year of hard work, this channel @[email protected] removed. And any channel 😢🥺 @TeamYouTube
I’m seeing through NexLev data a slew of entrepreneurial or money / business related channels being terminated.
YouTube is definitely bugged cause most of them seem to 100% follow the rules.
@TeamYouTube Hi @TeamYouTube, I followed your account as requested, but your inbox shows as closed so I can't send a DM. Could you please send me a DM or provide a direct message link from your end so I can share my details?
Hi @TeamYouTube, my channel "TinyToesTV" was suddenly terminated without prior strikes, and my appeal was rejected immediately. I am a new creator who makes simple, authentic mobile gameplay videos for young kids. Please help me get a manual human review: https://t.co/TO3734bNAs
@rebecca_sa2@YouTube@HowtoGuys@TeamYouTube I hope someone from @TeamYouTube will see & realise this fact and give us a fair chance, this situation is beyond words to express 😭,people know me as youtuber, all time I do only this but right now I'm not even sure what else to do??? basically my identity is wiped out.
After 13 years, @YouTube terminated @HowToGuys for “spam.” No warning, no strike. Appeal rejected in minutes.
152K subscribers, thousands of videos,live, and our livelihood gone overnight. Our video was featured on Discovery Tv
@TeamYouTube, please give us ONE human review. ❤️
Finally, after two months, I received another response from YouTube on X. I'll post an update in the comments, mainly for other creators going through the same or a similar situation, if they actually respond with anything further.
Will anything actually change this time? Will they finally take the time to properly review and resolve my case? I'm still convinced this whole situation started because of a mistake on their end.
More than 800 posts on X, countless emails sent, and months of trying everything possible to get someone to properly look into this.
Let's see if anything actually comes out of this. I'll keep you updated. @TeamYouTube
HELLO EVERYONE. This is day 4. Dear @TeamYouTube my channel was deleted for spam. I had never received any strikes or warnings. My content consisted of Minecraft animations, and there were only 10 videos on the channel how can a channel with just 10 videos violate the spam policy
🚨 YouTube AI has gone ROGUE!
They need to turn off this new AI scan and re-instate all the affected channels!
Dutch biggest podcast “Lotgenoten” also offline even TV networks are being hit.
Hope @Danieldalen hit channel gets put back ASAP!
This is very unfair to creators!
YouTube please add more humans to review channel termination and or demonetization!
