hi

[Joe Reframe @joe_reframe]

38 days since @TeamYouTube unfairly demonetized my channel. I lost 3 years of my work overnight. My content is 100% original and I write everything myself.
Please, let a real human see my content. I love this channel and want to keep working on it.

@AussieCitizen0 Thanks, I hope you enjoy it:)

One year ago, I released a demo for my indie game, Reframe RPG. Sadly, the game failed... But I learned a lot and I received so much positive feedback from it. I sincerely hope that I'll be able to continue the development in the future...

10 years ago, I played Undertale for the first time. I decided to replay it and see if the "magic" was still there. Here's what I found out:

Hey @TeamYouTube ! Could you tell me if my channel has already been manually reviewed? I've been demonetized for 42 days and I still don't have a concrete answer as to why my channel specifically was demonetized. Thanks!

[Joe Reframe @joe_reframe]

Hi @reneritchie! Could you please take a look at my channel? Demonetized for 40 days for "Inauthentic Content", but I believe it was a mistake.
I've been writing and manually editing original hypotheticals for 3 years.
Thank you! @TeamYouTube

@ThatNepGuy @TeamYouTube Thank you! Good luck to you as well! It is a dark time for creators...

[Joe Reframe @joe_reframe]

This is infuriating! @TeamYouTube said they'd "pass this along to their team", gave an EVEN MORE VAGUE reason for demonetization and SIMPLY ENDED THE CONVERSATION!
In what world is this normal behavior? Do they have ZERO respect for us? I cannot believe this.

@ThatNepGuy @TeamYouTube This time, it's just the feedback survey :(
So they basically just ended the conversation with no explanation.
I completed a different survey that they also sent me here a few weeks back, but they ignored it, never heard anything from them after finishing it.

[Joe Reframe @joe_reframe]

@ThatNepGuy @TeamYouTube They sent me a dm here on twitter. Completely ignored my messages though, just went straight into "please take a moment to complete an online survey".

[Joe Reframe @joe_reframe]

@TeamYouTube You took away my main source of income overnight with no warning or explanation. I've been trying to get answers for 40 days now and so far, I got NOTHING.

@kochkinator @TeamYouTube Such an amazing cat, thank you for your support! 😼

can i just, like, have one good day finally or smth

[Joe Reframe @joe_reframe]

@MegaSparked I think it's wild how they can take away your life's work with zero notice and just pocket your profits without a clear explanation. As much as I love this platform, I'm shocked that they think this is somehow acceptable.

We are going to sue YouTube

But before we do, our lawyer is currently in the process of sending a letter to YouTube.

Over 2 weeks ago our channel https://t.co/n40YMVzSp7 was falsely demonetized under the "inauthentic content" policy.

Demonetized doesn't mean no ads though, all it means is YouTube will still run ads on the videos. But they pocket all the revenue, essentially stripping all the revenue from us.

We don't claim to be the pinnacle of quality content standards, but the following things do cause us to scratch our heads in confusion

1. All of the bigger channels in the same niche as us are monetized with no issues
2. We literally voice act, edit, etc, all our own videos while 100s of AI storytelling channels are still monetized
3. YouTube is fine with running ads on the videos, pocketing all the revenue. We assume if YouTube had such a big problem with the content, why still serve it to your advertisers?
4. 100s of reaction channels still stay monetized

Some examples of bigger monetized channels that are in the same niche as us are:
rSlash: https://t.co/xz5uTLol38
DarkFluff: https://t.co/bqptmUDkEa
Oz's Vault: https://t.co/zQiEMUIhOZ

We support these channels, the reason we are providing these channels as examples is to showcase how it feels like we're being targeted.

This has caused extreme distress for my team and I. Many of our livelihoods and families rely on this channel. Our community relies on the UnderSparked channel.

Many people support the UnderSparked channel because in a time of nonstop AI channels, we stepped up and used real voice actors to cater to that connection and community that viewers on YouTube crave.

We truly believe this demonetization was done in error, all we want is a real human specialist to help us fix the issue.

We're tired of constantly receiving only copy and pasted templated responses, constantly neglecting/dismissing our attempts at fixing the false demonetization.

We're kindly requesting for a representative from @TeamYouTube to help us fix this demonetization issue with our channel.

We don't want to send letters, or sue, or anything! We simply just want to go back to producing content for our community.

@KizunaKz Could be, I'll try removing the paper for the next video. Though it's a little disappointing that people are so attached to the parkour :c
I thought I'd eventually get rid of it entirely...
Here's our discord, but it's a little dead right now:

Sadly, it seems that the experiment has failed. Using my real voice proved to tank retention in my videos significantly.
From 90%-100% to 65%-70%. This is wild.

[Joe Reframe @joe_reframe]

Wow! My latest video's analytics seem extremely promising. But it's not getting the views... My long forms usually start to get recommended 1-2 days after uploading, but this one's still at 273 views :c
Could any YouTube experts share their thoughts on this? :)
