💰 Demonetized Creator with 145K Subscribers Describes Re-monetization Journey
His channel was awarded a silver play button but he still faced the same demonetization issues as other channels and struggled to get a human review.
Would you contact government officials too?
My channel was REmonetized today.
I know a lot of you are still fighting for your channels and feel left in the dark and hopeless. I get it. I wanted to make this video real quick just explaining some of the steps I took over the last month that may have helped in getting YouTube to finally review my case.
I also recommend a couple of simple things that you should do that may help you get your channel back.
I'm not promising I can solve everyone's demonetization issues here, but I know how devastating it is to lose your channel and to have no idea what to do to get it back.
These are things that were recommended to me by others, and they helped me out, so I'm hoping they can help you too!
Correction: IShowSpeed says the stream was botted (not by him) and actually peaked around 300K Concurrent Live Viewers.

🧢🤖 Twitch to Cap View Botted Streams
It's no secret, fake metrics have spread across the industry like a virus. Live, Long-form, Shorts, & Follower counts can be bought from businesses that proudly share testimonials on their homepage.
View botted Twitch streamers will have their displayed Concurrent Live Viewer counts capped to previous highs to discourage the tactic.
This comes as Instagram has also taken steps to purge bots from their network.
Don't be surprised if some of the "most popular" creators have much lower metrics across platforms as the crackdown on fraud continues.
A note on our work to combat viewbotting, from CEO Dan Clancy:
There’s been a lot of discussion recently about viewbotting on Twitch, and I wanted to share an update on our enforcement efforts.
Viewbotting is bad for our business. We don't benefit from it, and we believe it harms the creator ecosystem overall. However, effectively combatting viewbotting is challenging. As we deploy updates to our real-time detection algorithms, viewbotting companies quickly respond with updates to avoid detection. Also, our detection systems must be precise to ensure that legitimate viewers are appropriately counted.
Today, we’re introducing a new enforcement type that we plan to roll out over the next few weeks. For channels identified as persistently viewbotting, we will apply a cap to the streamer’s CCV for a fixed period of time, on all of the Twitch surfaces. The cap will be based upon historical data regarding that creator’s non-viewbotted traffic. Repeated violations will result in longer penalties. Streamers will be notified when an enforcement is applied, along with the duration of the penalty, and can appeal through the appeals portal.
While streamers will be notified, we will not make a follow-on announcement when we begin issuing these enforcements, and will not publicly share details about when and where these enforcements are applied. Unfortunately, providing details simply makes it easier for companies to work around our interventions.
We believe this approach will help us make meaningful progress against viewbotting. We will continue refining our systems and expand when we apply these enforcements over time.
- Dan Clancy
🚫🤖 Rumble Announces Human Reviews
While AI can be a powerful tool, it still makes mistakes. Some creators are being demonitized in error and cannot reach a human to fix it for weeks or even months!
Losing your income for months is not acceptable and now Rumble is working on making humans part of the process.
Apparently, YouTube is using AI to demonetize and suspend accounts.
Rumble will do the complete opposite.
We are building in a new process where an actual human will reach out when their is a ban or demonetization issue.
Authentic, human support is a priority.
📣 Kick Launches New Streaming App

@USPalmerGolf@justinpruett@chrispavlovski@RageDarling Well, sometimes life writes the response for you...
Standing for Free Speech is more important than many may realize today, but if they realize it too late, there is not much they can do about it!
This is why I could not reply to you from my personal account:
The $3K PC puts you in a tight spot trying to break even, I hope those deals included Live, Long, and Short UGC requirements so you could attempt to break even from multiple platforms and formats.
If they loved your brand, some would already have the PC or accept a deep discount so you could offer deals to much "smaller" creators.
While you say the "higher" viewership creators did best, how did the Sales Per Viewer ratio compare between your 100 viewer and 8K viewer creators?
With PC prices where they are, offering Affirm is a great plan. UGC or Rumble Ads Reads that highlight the quality of your product along with the ability to pay over time might yield higher ROI right now.
Thank you for your reply and supporting the live streaming space.
