@TeamYouTube I have replied to your DM it would mean the world to us if you would take that information into consideration. I can provide further information if it is helpful. My device is secure now, and if I regain access to my channel I will enable 2FA and change my password
@TeamYouTube in light of this I request a manual review I have sent you the details as I understand them in a DM to you. Please take them into consideration.
@TeamYouTube
A third party accessed my phone and logged into a terminated account. My account is not associated with them. I have removed all of their access to my devices and account.

I need help to secure my account. I also request a manual review.
@anotherdive I hope we are able to come back. I lost my channel Adventure Fox and it has to be a mistake! Still fighting despite multiple denials! @TeamYouTube
@arsyt124 Reposted and will follow! This is a terrible system that unfairly bans channels that haven’t done anything wrong! We received a circumvention termination with zero explanation! All appeals auto denied in minutes!!! @TechFTC@ftc
🚨 YOUTUBE NEEDS TO CHANGE. CREATORS DESERVE BETTER. 👇 @YouTube
YouTube wouldn't be where it is today without its creators. Yet when creators lose their channels, income, or years of hard work because of a potentially wrong decision, getting REAL help can feel impossible.
Here’s what urgently needs to change:
1. LESS AI. MORE REAL PEOPLE. There should be enough qualified human support agents to handle serious creator issues instead of leaving everything to automated systems.
2. STOP PRETENDING AI IS HUMAN. Telling a bot to write “Human here” doesn't make it human. If it gives the same appeal instructions you've followed 10 times and rejects your appeal minutes later, that's NOT meaningful support.
3. ACTUALLY READ WHAT CREATORS SEND YOU. If someone emails YouTube about a wrongful termination, READ THE EMAIL. Don't respond by asking about an unrelated YPP issue, then ignore the creator when they clarify what the problem actually is. Every appeal and email deserves proper attention.
4. STOP CALLING EVERYTHING A “FINAL DECISION.” Creators have seen supposedly final decisions reconsidered after persistent efforts finally reached someone who properly examined the case. If a mistake can still be corrected, there must be a meaningful way to review it.
5. REFORM THE CIRCUMVENTION POLICY. A terminated creator shouldn't automatically mean innocent family members, roommates, or other people sharing a device or internet connection must lose their opportunity to create. Connections should be investigated in context, not treated as automatic proof of wrongdoing. One mistake shouldn't automatically destroy someone else's future. The most serious repeat or deliberate abuse deserves strict enforcement, but innocent people deserve fair treatment.
6. STOP LETTING AI MAKE LIFE-CHANGING MONETIZATION DECISIONS WITHOUT PROPER OVERSIGHT. Creators can lose their income overnight after investing months or years of work. Every serious demonetization or termination should have access to a genuine human review. Creators deserve due process, not an automated verdict.
YouTube has every right to enforce its rules. But enforcement without meaningful accountability puts innocent creators at risk, too. A system that can make mistakes must have a real way to correct them.
📢 WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE?
If you've experienced this yourself, share your story in the comments. If you have another idea, add it. Quote this post with your own experience.
Let's get this conversation in front of @TeamYouTube and as many creators as possible.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT PROTECTING BAD ACTORS. IT'S ABOUT PROTECTING INNOCENT CREATORS FROM BAD DECISIONS.
Creators helped build YouTube into what it is today. We deserve support that reflects that. @nealmohan@FTC
Still no human review from #teamyoutube. Just continuous bot replies with no new information. No idea what led to the ban, no idea why it came without warning. They claim they will have a ‘conversation’ with you. But all it is, is a single DM reaffirming the ban with no replies
🚨🔥 YOUTUBE, CREATORS DESERVE ANSWERS—NOT SILENCE!
#YouTubeAIWrongedCreators
Years of hard work. Thousands of hours of editing. A community built from scratch. All of it can disappear when a channel is terminated. @TeamYouTube@YouTube
Hi @TeamYouTube, my appeal was rejected for "Spam and deceptive practices," I have never uploaded scams or spam content. I request a human reviewer to look into my case, as I believe this suspension is an error. Please help. Channel URL: [URL: https://t.co/5gUZZUJrQr]
@teamyoutube
I have at least two laptops and five phones attached to that freaking account and you are going to ban me for circumvention?? I READ the guidelines and we didn’t break the guidelines!

@AC15912733 My channel was about to apply for monetization and boom. No strikes, no warnings, channel terminated. They gave a vague email apologizing and outright banning me. But I never violated any of the guidelines they mentioned. My appeal was denied in 5 minutes. Nothing but bots at YT
@XaldwinSealand@TeamYouTube@YTCreators Apologies if you are not accusing me of anything. But we had a rash of unfortunate luck with broken phones while traveling. And now more bad luck as our YouTube was terminated. Thank you for the comment regardless
@XaldwinSealand@TeamYouTube@YTCreators But the android is an old S10 and the camera sucks so I use the IPhone 16 pro for its camera. And I had an IPhone 13 Pro prior to that. My account shows ALL five as log ins on my account. What are you accusing me of? Never dropped a phone? Forgot to log old ones out?
@abhishekm902@TeamYouTube They are doing the same to me. Terminated the channel, I don’t know why. They claim to have shared “All relevant information” despite not sharing ANYTHING. So I don’t know if it was a video, comment, post. This is why the FTC is investigating them for deceptive practices.
