. @Displate Hey, Displate. So apparently itโs been brought to my attention that my Art is being sold as a Displate despite me not having an account? The Watermark was also removed.
I can provide proof of the Blender and Photoshop files
โ Your yearly reminder to untick interests that automatically accumulate.
If you've talked about AI image generation, chances are it's put you as interested in the topic. You might want to untick "Grok AI" too.
Is there anything surprising in yours?
Watch it, save it, pass it on.
The perfect video distilling the issue with Generative AI & why artists have been loudly critical. Gen AI defenders love to pretend the points in this video don't exist or matter.

I did what 99% of creators think is impossible - I legally defeated YouTube.
How does YouTube react? They're pretending it never happened.
Let me tell you a story that proves the system is designed to crush creators - even when you WIN legal case and the law is on your side ๐
โก๏ธ June 2024: My channel "Chase Car" (20k subs) gets demonetized for "reused content."
I appeal. A HUMAN reviewer checks everything - my editing timeline, voiceovers, scripts.
They email me: "This is original content, you follow all the guidelines." Monetization restored. I'm relieved. A human verified me. I'm safe now.
โก๏ธ November 2024: I wake up to find my entire channel TERMINATED. Same content. Same videos. Different result. Reason: "Spam, deceptive practices and scams policies".
Wait... what? A human JUST cleared me months ago. Since I was verified by a YouTube employee, I knew my content was fine. I was creating EV news/car review videos that the YouTube Team had already accepted. Yet, the AI bot didn't care this time.
I appeal โ INSTANT rejection from the AI bot.
Most creators give up here. But as a European Union citizen, I have the opportunity to defend myself as a creator using European Union law. I filed a formal case with ADROIT, an official European Union certified dispute body.
March 2025: Case filed.
July 23, 2025: Decision arrives (attached)
The verdict:
โ "Complaint is UPHELD"
โ "YouTube's termination was NOT RIGHTFUL"
โ "YouTube failed to specify violating content" and my channel should be reinstated.
An independent legal body ruled YouTube was WRONG. The best part? YouTube defended itself during the process but could not show what I had violated. I WON.
Here's where it gets terrifying - My channel is STILL terminated.
I've been emailing YouTube's legal team for 4 MONTHS. Bot replies and complete silence.
I never gave up; I fought fairly for my rights as a creator using the tools I had, and I won fair and square. Yet, they're acting like it never happened and the decision doesn't exist.
Think about that for a moment. Even when you:
โก๏ธ Follow every rule
โก๏ธ Have a YouTube employee confirm that your content follows the policies
โก๏ธ Win an official legal case
โก๏ธ Have a documented decision that your channel should be reinstated
...YouTube's AI system just ignores you, and contacting a human is impossible.
If they can do this to me AFTER I won, what chance does any creator have?
I'm not giving up. I am filing a complaint with the Irish regulator @CNaM_ie to force YouTube to honor the decision.
But I need your help: RT this and tag @TeamYouTube .
Make them respond, so they can't pretend this isn't happening.
Because if they can ignore a legal ruling, no creator is safe.
