Nerd Robot

Living life in beta—always updating. 🤖💡

[Mejra @Mejra666]

After 58 days of trying to get my channel reviewed, I received another interesting email, completely shattering my hopes once again. I tried to make a meaningful content on this platform instead of spitting 5 low effort videos per day to make crazy money and I've been punished for it. I've spend more then a year to build my channel and it's gone like that overnight.

This is what youtube is considering inauthentic. Without any warning or time to fix whatever they want (I still don't know for sure) they decided to just demonetize all the channels around youtube.

My channel is verified, proved authentic by their other systems...already had a personality through my own animations, mascot and humor and its tied to a personal google account that is very old. Still demonetized... This is how they treat their partners. :)

@Psychothymic @TeamYouTube @YouTube @YouTubeCreators Regarding the AI voice, I have chatted with YouTube Creator Support regularly for advice over the last 8 years. Every time I asked about TTS/AI voices, they always said it was fine. So, I just take them at their word.

Hello @TeamYouTube

My case [2-8928000040800] was closed, but the issue remains unresolved. Emails are no longer being answered. All of my videos are original, varied, and manually crafted using Adobe Illustrator. It's not repetitive/mass produced.

@Psychothymic @TeamYouTube @YouTube @YouTubeCreators ChatGPT was first released on Nov 30, 2022. You can check my videos released before that. Nothing has changed, I write simple straightforward narratives without unnecessary rambling. My scripts have always been like that. It's just my style since 2018, not AI.

@FreshNinjaPants @spacehjv @TeamYouTube @YouTube @YouTubeCreators I started this channel back in 2018 when I was still young and my voice sounded too childish. I named the channel "Nerd Robot" because I was using a robotic TTS voice back then. I was also inspired by the TED-Ed channel, which uses different narrators for different topics.

@ReasonCurious Wow, congrats man! Thanks for the insight. People reupload my content every single day, and I've had to take down countless reuploads. How can I use that as proof that my content is authentic?

[Nerd Robot @nerdrobot_]

@ReasonCurious @TeamYouTube @YouTube @YouTubeCreators I just DM'ed you

[Nerd Robot @nerdrobot_]

@spacehjv @TeamYouTube @YouTube @YouTubeCreators Yes! But I asked Creator Support before using it. They said it's fine. But here we are! ☹️

Hey @TeamYouTube, I need a human eye here! 🚨

My 8-year-old educational channel was just demonetized.

100% Original: Years of handcrafted 2D animations, infographics, and motion graphics.

The majority of my videos were created long before generative AI even existed. Newer videos only use AI as a tool to enhance my art, the core work is entirely human.

Can we please get a manual review?

@ItachiTf83631 @TeamYouTube @YouTube @YouTubeIndia Right. We just need clear steps on how to fix this. We aren't mad about the demonetization. We're mad because the reason is unclear. We are truly determined to improve our content and make changes, but how can we do that if @TeamYouTube never lets us know what needs fixing?

@SixxisD1344 @1Skilaw @DavidStonesFan @prunabluepepper @TeamYouTube @MegaSparked YouTube is unethical and has never been fair, that's the whole point.

[Nerd Robot @nerdrobot_]

@RayDocsProd Because in some niches, the audience prefers visualizations over our faces.

[Nerd Robot @nerdrobot_]

@SixxisD1344 @1Skilaw @DavidStonesFan @prunabluepepper @TeamYouTube @MegaSparked Legal loopholes and business ethics are two different things. The court can change the law if a lawsuit can prove that a legal loophole violates basic norms of fairness and business ethics. That’s what happened in DMA case. Also, slavery was once legal if you remember.

@DavidStonesFan @prunabluepepper @TeamYouTube @MegaSparked What does this have to do with demonetization? Show the YPP TOS.

[Nerd Robot @nerdrobot_]

@DavidStonesFan @prunabluepepper @TeamYouTube @MegaSparked Channel termination, yes. Demonetization, no.

[Nerd Robot @nerdrobot_]

@DavidStonesFan @prunabluepepper @TeamYouTube @MegaSparked Numbers (1) and (2) apply globally. Number (3) is currently EU exclusive, but we hope more countries will adopt it in the future.

[Nerd Robot @nerdrobot_]

(1) The TOS says they can demonetize a channel if the channel violates YPP guidelines, not without reason.

(2) In the demonetization email, YouTube encourages creators to submit an appeal if they believe they haven't violated YPP guidelines.

(3) DSA Article 17 and the P2B Regulation in the EU requires all digital platforms, including YouTube, the App Store, and the Google Play Store, to issue prior warnings and a formal cure period before terminating financial partnerships, alongside the clearest possible explanation for the action. (Only applies if you live in an EU country. Hope for more countries adopt same policies)
