YouTube | Day 12 Of YouTube Demonization

[Hugh @hughdoesyoutube]

Hi @TeamYouTube, my channel [https://t.co/Yor8UiPYnh] was rejected for not meeting YouTube monetization policies. However, it's completely original commentary with custom stop-motion animations, human voice acting, precise scene edits, and overall heavy editing. I completely wiped my old content before this. The automated system rejected us without giving any specific feedback or actionable reasons as to why the channel failed. The automated bot missed our massive manual transformation. Can an internal human specialist please review this case? Thanks!

🚨 Day 12 FALSE DEMONITIZATION

@TeamYouTube I think you made a mistake as it says "To check the exact policy category that led to this decision, your team can view the official rejection reason directly in YouTube Studio under the Earn tab."

When I go to the "Earn Tab," it only says "Violations of the YouTube monetisation policies"

My channel "Cartoon Coroner" was rejected for not meeting YouTube’s monetization policies. However, our content is entirely original and includes extensive human-driven creative work: original commentary, custom stop-motion animations, human voice acting, precise scene edits, and substantial manual editing throughout.

Before creating this content, I completely removed my previous uploads to ensure the channel was focused entirely on this original material.

Unfortunately, the automated system rejected the channel without providing any specific feedback or actionable explanation about what policy requirements we supposedly failed to meet. It appears the automated review may have overlooked the significant amount of manual transformation and original creative effort involved in our videos.

Could an internal human specialist please review our channel and case manually? We would greatly appreciate a thorough human review of the content and any specific guidance on what, if anything, needs to be changed to meet the monetization requirements.

PLEASE LIKE + RT, SPREAD THE WORD SO WE CAN GET JUSTICE! 🙏

@jchmdc @TeamYouTube Can we elect a new ceo?

[Hugh @hughdoesyoutube]

@TeamYouTube Can you dm me and help me resolve this issue?

[Hugh @hughdoesyoutube]

Hi, @TeamYouTube I need your help appealing my channels monetization!

"Our channel evaluations follow standardized policy guidelines and review workflows to maintain consistent enforcement across the platform. Because of this structured process, management cannot perform manual overrides or bypass standard review decisions outside the established appeal system."

How is this fair, you give everyone else proper reviews for monetization "reapplications," but when someone fixes a channel you give them a vague response like "Violations of the YouTube monetisation policies"

PLEASE RT + LIKE! 💔

This is so frustrating and makes me want to give up entirely.

🚨 Day 10, we got another response from "YouTube Creator Support" this time they're saying that they've rolled out a new policy. Which is a nothing burger as "YouTube must tell you every specific internal algorithmic reason why your channel was demonetized.”

We instead get this message, "When this overarching violation is applied rather than a single sub-category (like Reused Content), it means the specialist team found that the channel as a whole does not currently meet our core monetization standards, which include:

YouTube Community Guidelines
Terms of Service"

If you go to to "Community Guidelines" you have 21 policies, and me and my team of 30 people have to guess which policy your "ai moderation," demonetized us for? This only touches the surface as when you click on any of the 21 policies, there is Sub-policies listed under each. If this is a new demonetization reason for all creators, then this is one of many reasons to revert back manual reviews - https://t.co/Gxb8kz1YsN

If you're new following my daily tweets on my responses, please follow + like + share/quote & spready the word. @TeamYouTube @YouTube - Do better, people shouldn't have to flood https://t.co/TW7ACOa3vX , upload videos begging for help, and or make it a choir every day to write up an essay to try and reach help that should be available as a public right!

@TheNFLGuy69 @TeamYouTube Goodluck! 🙏

🚨 Day 9, we got another reply to our email this time they are saying

"Where to Find the Flagged Policy
To see the overarching policy reason behind the decision:

Sign in to YouTube Studio.

Select the Earn tab from the left navigation menu.

Review the specific policy category listed under your application status (e.g., Reused Content, Inauthentic Content, Misleading Metadata, etc."

Except this isn't possible as when I select "Earn," attached below it only says "Violations of the YouTube monetization policies"

I will attach more screenshots below for the initial demonetization email, it's just as vague as this. There is no "feedback" of what to fix, even though I've talked to every other creator, and they have all told me the same thing they've been given a reason like "Misleading family content," "Reused Content," "Inauthentic Content," etc.

@TeamYouTube Instead of making us wait 90 days can you tell us which policy me and my team of 30 people violated, "Violations of the YouTube monetization policies," even in YouTube Creators Support Response they have contradicted themselves as they clearly state the obvious "Once your team has reviewed and adjusted the content in line with our policies, you will be able to submit a new application on the exact date displayed in your Earn tab. For more information kindly check our Help Center to know more about our YouTube Channel Monetization Policy and our Community Guidelines."

Day 8, Hi @TeamYouTube, my channel [https://t.co/uLzgi8ZQej] was rejected from the YouTube Partner Program for allegedly not meeting monetization policies.

Our content is highly original, featuring extensive commentary, custom stop-motion animation, human voice acting, precise scene edits, and substantial manual editing and transformation. We also completely removed our previous content before creating this new material.

Unfortunately, the automated review provided no specific feedback or actionable explanation for the rejection. We believe the review may have overlooked the significant amount of original, manual work that goes into each video.

Could an internal human specialist please take a closer look at our channel and provide a specific reason for the decision?

Thank you!

[Hugh @hughdoesyoutube]

@JKing22_ @TeamYouTube @YouTube @YouTubeCreators Goodluck getting a response!

[Hugh @hughdoesyoutube]

@sayit18890 @TeamYouTube @VijayBanjaoyuk Did you get a reason?

[Hugh @hughdoesyoutube]

🚨 Day 7, still no updates from @TeamYouTube so we have decided we will only tweet once a week from now on. Thank you everyone for your help & god bless you all! 🙏❤️

All of our automated responses and support chats, emails and photos of our vague denied application "Violations of the YouTube monetisation policies" will be attached below. If you, or anyone you know has been demonetized without clarification on the policy they broke, please tag them and share your experience. So far I have only found 4 other people with this issue but I'm sure there's more! 💔@YouTubeLiaison

Instead of waiting 90 days we deserve to know the policy we violated, whether its "reused content" , "misleading family content," "Unsatisfying, generic content" etc.
