So @TeamYouTube let me get this straight. My channel, and others like me, get demonetized for inauthentic content and you blatantly LIE about looking into it. To make it worse, the only time I even got a basic response was when @Leaflit reposted to make others aware.
Understand this is an extremely volatile issue that you are incapable of handling properly as you demonetized my channel, which shows in detail how I make my content and has videos that are finished products. There are plenty of other people that want to create but this move, along with outright removing some channels off your website entirely, shows you do not care about viewers or creators.
The core of the issue is @TeamYouTube doesn't care about creators in the slightest. They care about advertisers. To try and entice more advertisers, they use AI to moderate thousands upon thousands of creators that use AI and remove monetization. I would understand this as a policy decision IF it was made exceptionally clear and creators knew about it instead of finding out their cash is now stuck in the void for 120 days.
To make matters worse, it hasn't decreased the actual AI slop trash that pajeets shit onto the internet every single second, and they have full monetization still. It makes absolutely zero sense as to why people that use a creative vision are being punished while those actually mass producing literal garbage are rewarded.
This isn't an issue of just myself. I will find a way to survive. This is an issue for EVERYONE that creates on YouTube. It shows that YouTube is once again deciding to fuck over every single creator on a whim with no communication or care in the world. They slap ambiguous labels on things that don't mean anything, and even then they aren't applied equally. The sheer amount of porn that is propping up on YouTube is also highly concerning and blatantly against the TOS, but @TeamYouTube does not care.
It's quite sad to see a platform devolve in such a dramatic way. Many people that did gun content or bodycams like @DonutOperator have had to constantly change how they do things to abide by the rules, but that should have been a warning sign for the rest of us that YouTube does not care for creators.
Given the copy paste responses from YouTube on this, the lack of understanding, and the wholesale disregard for creators that actually make unique content, AI or not, it's clear they aren't done in screwing over creators. This is undoubtedly part of a long term plan to continue pushing for advertisers over anything else, and if that means they crush creators on their platform, they do not care.
Fortunately, I have a strong enough will to continue to create and not falter when faced with challenges like this. I will continue to create, and I'm going to keep creating as long as I'm able.
