Can you help me create a new EMPTY account?

[Emerson @emersonthis]

@TeamYouTube I deleted my personal account (channel name: Emerson This) bc it was suspended with no warning or explanation. I never upload or comment. All appeals were instantly rejected. And now I can’t recreate it. How can I become a YouTube user again?

[Emerson @emersonthis]

@TeamYouTube Is this my YouTube experience forever now?

[Emerson @emersonthis]

@TeamYouTube Is there any way for me to have a YouTube account again?
Can’t restore the old account + Can’t create a new account = banned forever??
👆This seems pretty extreme, especially since the original suspension was almost definitely a glitch

[Emerson @emersonthis]

@TeamYouTube I’m not trying to recover anything. I just want to have a YouTube account again. Am I permanently locked out forever?

[Emerson @emersonthis]

@TeamYouTube I’ve been locked out of my suspended account for a while so browser history isn’t helpful. However I exported the data before I deleted the account. The export metadata says my channel ID is: UCDPTMtjJcgBBF5bpbEeqdRQ
Can you find it with that ID?

[Emerson @emersonthis]

@TeamYouTube Thanks! I’m currently getting redirected to the “oops” page (screenshot above). So I’m not sure about the URL. But I know the name of the channel is/was: Emerson This

Is that enough info?

[Emerson @emersonthis]

@TeamYouTube I deleted the data bc it was the only way I could think to fix the suspension. Didn’t realize it deleted the entire account. Now I can’t fix the old account OR create a new one. Hoping you can help me out if this jam!

[Emerson @emersonthis]

@TeamYouTube I strongly suspect the suspension was a glitch bc I haven’t uploaded any videos or commented on anything. Also never received any emails.

[Emerson @emersonthis]

@TeamYouTube It wasn’t terminated. It was suspended. No explanation. I tried the appeal form a few times and each time it was instantly rejected also with no explanation. So I tried deleting the data from Google Account and that deleted the ENTIRE account. Now I’m stuck. Can you help me?

[Emerson @emersonthis]

@TeamYouTube I don’t have much to go on because I never received any warnings or indications that I’d violated terms. I just stared getting the suspended page out of the blue. And then an immediate (presumable automated) rejection after clicking the appeal link

[Emerson @emersonthis]

@TeamYouTube can you help me restore my personal account? It was deleted in error. The Google / channel username was: emersonthis

[Emerson @emersonthis]

@TeamYouTube Thanks. Any time I click a link it redirects me to the “oops” page. But the previous rejection emails about the suspension say the channel name is/was: Emerson This

Does this answer your question?

[Emerson @emersonthis]

@TeamYouTube you pinpointed my dilemma. My account got suspended for unknown reasons (I literally never post videos or comments). I couldn’t find any explanation so I deleted it. And now I can’t creat a new account or fix the old one. Help! 😅

[Emerson @emersonthis]

@TeamYouTube Do I understand correctly that deleting an account means I can never use YouTube again? Forever?

[Emerson @emersonthis]

@TeamYouTube Sorry for the confusion. I don’t care about recovering anything. I just want to use YouTube with my existing Google account. The deletion was an attempt to fix whatever caused the suspension. But now I can’t recreate the account either. How do I get unstuck?

[Emerson @emersonthis]

@TeamYouTube advanced settings☹️. I don’t have any important data to restore. I was trying to resolve a mysterious suspension of my account. It was never told why I got suspended so thought deleting all data would solve it. Can you help me with this situation?

@quiknode Thanks your tutorials about #Solana NFT development! The longer one (https://t.co/W0r1uXqbxs) recommends a library that is being reworked. Would you consider updating it? Or maybe a new one without that dependency? Thanks again!
