Two months of building ALCRYPTUS from scratch. Here’s a showcase of everything I’ve animated so far for #IndieAnimationDay.
Gonna continue experimenting and animating! Stay tuned for the PILOT! 🎬
🚨 YOUTUBE IS DEMONETIZING AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY OF ANIMATORS. AND NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT.
This is bigger than one channel. Bigger than one appeal. An alarming number of animation creators are losing their YouTube monetization under the same "Misleading Family Content" policy.
My channel, Pivot Master, has been demonetized for almost 3 MONTHS. And I'm far from the only one.
Here are just some of the affected creators:

More than 29 creators, probably way more that I am not aware of. Countless hours of animation. Years of hard work. And livelihoods being affected.
Animation does NOT automatically mean children's content.
Many of us create content for general audiences, yet our channels are being classified under a policy that we believe does not accurately reflect our work.
And what happens when we appeal?
Automated responses. Rejections. Copy-paste explanations. And creators left fighting to prove that their own content has been misunderstood.
We're want TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND GENUINE HUMAN REVIEWS.
@TeamYouTube@YouTube, please stop treating these as isolated cases.
LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE.
We want our channels reviewed fairly. We want clear explanations. And if these demonetizations are mistakes, we want our monetization restored.
To every animator affected: PLEASE SPEAK UP.
Repost and Quote this tweet. Tag @TeamYouTube. Share your experience in the replies.
Let's make sure this issue cannot be ignored any longer.
OUR CHANNELS ARE OUR YEARS OF HARD WORK. THEY DESERVE A FAIR CHANCE.
@Dexerto Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Our teams have looked into this, and we can confirm that this channel has been reviewed and is now fully monetizing again!
I wish YouTube would do the same for demonetization. Give creators a warning with the flagged videos, and allow time to fix honest mistakes. Right now, channels often get demonetized out of the blue, with no clear explanation of what went wrong.
🚨 YouTube NEWS 🚨
YouTube is testing a second chance before channel termination
Eligible channels facing termination for certain spam violations get 30 days to fix or remove content, delete all videos, or appeal
No action within 30 days means termination
YouTube has demonetized Explore With Us, a huge true crime channel with 7.6M subs
Even the biggest content creators aren't safe from YouTube's AI moderation. Something has to change
