@TeamYouTube Please escalate Case 8-9607000040223 to a Billing Specialist who has the authority to perform a Manual Reconciliation. Support has indicated they cannot add more; I need a specialist review.
@TeamYouTube I need a billing specialist for Case 8-9607000040223. My channel was wrongfully terminated Oct 13 and reinstated Jan 22 via successful appeal. Support is withholding $15.5k in finalized Sept earnings despite my compliance being proven. (1/2)
@TeamYouTube Respectfully, I am reaching out here because Creator Support (Jerick) has reached a deadlock. He is citing a '50-day refund policy' for non-compliance, but my successful appeal proves I was compliant.
This is a $15,528.76 billing dispute, not a general support query.
The termination was an error. Support claims funds were "refunded" to advertisers, but since my appeal was successful, those refunds were based on a false premise. I am requesting a manual reconciliation of my finalized September balance. @YouTubeCreators (2/2)
Seeing tons of creators lose their channels lately, but love to see @YouTube’s been relentless in reinstating creators fast. ❤️
We’re putting together a community-sourced tracker to help YouTube review & restore even faster.
Retweet to spread the word!

Hey @TeamYouTube , I’m about to submit a channel termination recovery appeal through Google Account Help, but I’m worried it’ll just get an auto-rejected.
How can I make sure a human reviews it? I’ve clearly explained what may have triggered the termination.
Thanks!
@FelixSchlang@TeamYouTube Same happened to us. Our channel with 60K subs got terminated for ‘spam/deceptive practices’ with an instant AI rejection on appeal. Years of effort gone in seconds. No explanation, no review, nothing. Smaller creators deserve the same fairness and human review too
Our 60K-subs channel was terminated for “spam,” even though it used public-domain police bodycam footage with narration, editing & educational context. All fair use.
@TeamYouTube@YouTubeCreators I just need a real human review.
#policebodycam fans, please help us get this seen
@catchcrime1 It looks like you’ve already appealed & received an email outlining the decision. We know it wasn’t the outcome you were hoping for, but these decisions are made very carefully, appreciate your understanding
Absolutely shameful from @YouTube@TeamYouTube@YouTubeCreators mass deleting creators’ channels that took years of effort. Then, when we appeal, it gets rejected within minutes. There’s no way a human reviews these.
The system is broken, and creators deserve better.
Hi @TeamYouTube My channel got terminated and I've submitted an appeal for my channel removal and it was rejected in less than a minute. There’s no way a human could have reviewed it. Clearly an automated decision.

Hi @TeamYouTube, my channel ‘Catch Crime’ was terminated for ‘spam/deceptive practices,’ but it only uses public-domain police bodycam footage with transformative commentary, narration, and edits under fair use. No spam, misleading titles, or scams. Can a human review this?
@TeamYouTube Thank you for the response. Just to clarify, since I wasn’t given the option to link the appeal video during re-application, will the review team still have access to it or should I submit it another way?
Hi @TeamYouTube , I just reapplied for monetization. I selected the reapply option, accepted the terms, and it went straight to ‘Your application is under review’ without giving me an option to submit an appeal video. Just wanted to confirm if that’s expected?
