I was told this was “being looked into,” yet I still haven’t received any actual support, explanation, or human response.
Over 300 days later, nothing has changed.
@TeamYouTube
If someone is reviewing this, I need transparency and real communication, not silence.
My channel of 30k subscribers, was wrongfully terminated over 300 days ago, I still have not had the opportunity to speak to anyone remotely human.
Creator support has let me down, @TeamYouTube
has let me down.
If there's no other way, please help me get their attention.

Hello @TeamYouTube, serious question:
Is making a public X's post and going viral the only way to get a REAL human review?
Your automated system just destroyed my full-time, 2-year career.
2 channels terminated (~1.25M subs total)
Reason: "Spam"
My record: Flawless. ZERO warnings.
My appeal: "Manually reviewed" & rejected in UNDER 5 MINUTES.
How is this a fair process?
You already admitted that your AI has been falsely banning creators.
I’m just asking for the same real human review others received.
@TeamYouTube please check my case:
https://t.co/7FqMEEG5Vt
Days ago, my channel was terminated. I’ve poured years of time, resources and work into making content that aligns with YouTube’s TOS. I have managed to avoid strikes by creating content in an honest way. I did review YouTube’s Spam Policy, I feel confident in stating that, my content does not fall under any of the listed violations. However, if creators make a genuine mistake after years of not being an issue and contributing to the platform without issue, they should have the opportunity to fix that issue, be made away or receive a strike, not be immediately terminated with little to no human interaction nor attention. I’ve always produced content in the most ethical ways I knew how. I did this because I care for my audience, not just to meet TOS.
This is my former channel link https://t.co/Iu2qvnS95S
I strongly believe this termination was an automated error. I believe you will find I did not violate YouTube’s Policies. I have never wanted to harm this platform and genuinely care for my viewers. I am not a scammer nor looking to do harm to anyone or be deceitful in my practices.
Thank you for your time. I just ask that you consider supporting creators to who contribute genuinely to the YouTube community to be allowed to correct errors or mistakes prior to terminating their years of work. Thousands of creators are being falsely and wrongfully terminated, many of whom depend on their content financially to feed their families. Please, do the right thing for those individuals who have contributed to your platform. Reinstate not just my channel but all of our channels, who were wrongfully terminated via this or other automated issues. Give us an avenue for human interaction when we have issues with your system. Correct the system when it doesn’t work for the creators that are producing content for your platform. Please, make YouTube human again.
Sincerely,
Haley
YouTube still hasn’t reinstated every creator that was falsely caught in the ban wave
but keep your hopes high, they’re proven to be actively working on helping people,
so do not give up,
if YOU are still waiting on receiving an update from YT - make an appeal in the replies
BE SURE to tag (@ team youtube) and explain your entire issue 👇
.@TeamYouTube@YouTubeCreators@YouTube
my channel was terminated after a single strike. I did not have 3 strikes. and the video itself that was struck did not meet the ADL requirements of harassment or policies of harassment. an actual review from a real person would be great.
Hey @TeamYouTube I don't want to undermine your guidelines, but I really feel like a victim of your AI appeal system, and I feel censored and targeted, please reach out. I was terminated over nothing and was told that nothing could be done. HELP.

hey @TeamYouTube@YouTubeCreators@YouTube my channel was terminated after a single strike. i did not have 3 strikes. and the video itself that was struck did not meet the ADL requirements of hatespeech, much less the policies requirements of hatespeech. an actual review from a real person would be great.
hey @TeamYouTube@YouTubeCreators@YouTube you guys falsely terminate my channel, and then insult me further by sending me this. this has got to be the most insulting thing i can see how youtube treats people. aside from false terminations.
🤖YouTube is now letting AI decide who gets to stay on the platform. 🤖
This isn’t speculation — millions of channels have been terminated under automated “Spam / Deceptive Practices / Scams” enforcement in the past few months alone.
Even appeals are being handled by automation in many cases.
So if the system makes a mistake… the creator loses their channel and never speaks to a human.
My channel (Netflixandchilly) was one of them — 3+ years of fully original content removed in minutes, and appeals denied just as fast.
I understand why these policies exist. They matter.
But careers deserve real human review.
If this has happened to you, reply + tag @ TeamYouTube so real eyes can see it.
.@TeamYouTube It's been 9 months since my termination, and I'm seeing lots of creators outrage about the same issues and actually get help, could I possibly get a review on my situation too ?
Unfortunately I haven't been able to reach a real human for those last 9 long months.
UPDATE: YouTube has admitted they made a mistake
after their AI Gemini bot falsely terminated millions of channels
YouTube responded by using AI, automated replies on X
but recently, things have changed
YouTube is now responding on X as actual humans
my channels are still falsely terminated and haven't been restored
I just make economic and fitness documentaries (a human would know if they checked)
but YouTube has finally begun to take action
this includes people who do NOT have many followers
retweet and tag @TeamYouTube if you want help
@TeamYouTube@YouTubeCreators Still have me banned from your platform after 9 months, I am young, I make mistakes, I do not think it warrants complete termination without 3 strikes or a warning.
Please correspond with me. Let me please speak with someone.
