@TeamYouTube Hello,
My channel’s monetization was removed under the label “Harmful Content Involving Minors,”
which was later updated to “Misleading Family Content.”
However, my content does not contain anything that fits these classifications.
I have had no prior strikes or restrictions on my channel.
I create original GTA 5 content built entirely around in-game scenarios.
There are no minors, no child-focused themes, and nothing intended for children.
All videos are created for a general audience and have always been marked as not made for kids.
I respectfully request a manual review of my channel and the restoration of monetization.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
As many of you know, my monetization was disabled under the “misleading family content” policy.
Well, I’m here with some good news — it’s finally been restored.
I’ve been waiting for this for a long time, and it feels great to finally have monetization back.
Grateful that my reapplication was reviewed and approved

Hello @TeamYouTube, I’m in a very similar situation.
My monetization was restored on February 27 after a manual review,
but the automated system disabled it again on March 7 - only 8 days later.
I truly hope someone from your team can help resolve this situation.
Hello @TeamYouTube,
My monetization has been disabled twice in a month for the exact same reason.
The first time I reached out to you here on X.
A member of your team saw my post, helped escalate my case,
and after a manual review my monetization was restored - something I’m truly grateful for.
But just 8 days later the automated system disabled it again for the same reason.
Two demonetizations in a month - even after my monetization was restored following a human review.
I’m really hoping for your help with this.
Hello everyone - I have good news again.
My monetization has been restored for the second time
after being disabled under the “misleading family content” policy.
For context, here’s the timeline of what happened:
Feb 3 - monetization disabled
Feb 27 - restored after a manual review following my posts here on X
Mar 7 - disabled again for the same reason
Mar 11 - I submitted an appeal through YouTube Studio explaining the full situation.
Mar 14 - today I received confirmation that the appeal was successful and my channel can monetize again.
I’m truly grateful to everyone who supported me during this process - the reposts, comments, and messages meant a lot.
And I sincerely wish the best of luck to other creators currently working to resolve demonetization issues on their channels.
Thank you @TeamYouTube, @YouTubeCreators and @YouTube for your support and attention.
Hello everyone, friends!
Today I’m coming to you with some great news - my channel’s monetization has been restored!
A few days ago, the 90-day period since the suspension passed, I reapplied, and it was approved.
I’m very happy about this and will continue creating content.
Thank you all so much for your support, and I wish everyone who has faced the same situation the best of luck in getting monetization restored on your channels.
Thank you for restoring my monetization @TeamYouTube@YouTube@YouTubeCreators

8 years.
No violations.
In one day, my monetization was automatically disabled by an AI system for “harmful content involving minors.”
I create gaming content in GTA V. The characters in my videos are in-game NPCs. There are no minors, and I do not use child-oriented themes or characters popular with kids.
Every video is marked “not made for kids.” My content is intended strictly for a general audience and is not misleading family content.
This is not a hobby - this is my full-time job, my entire livelihood.
Since 2017, I’ve worked on this channel without stopping. Day after day, week after week, year after year. I spend around 8 hours every single day filming, editing, and constantly improving my content.
This channel is what I’ve built my life around.

This appears to be an AI error.
I kindly request a manual review. Thank you.
Hello @TeamYouTube My channel AimiSuee (https://t.co/1AGBYcGOAA)
had its monetization removed for inauthentic content, and I consider this a serious mistake. I do not violate YouTube’s monetization policies, and my content is not mass-produced, template-based, or easily replicable at scale. I create every video manually myself, from the idea and script to filming the video and editing it. The entire process genuinely takes a lot of time, because each idea is unique and bringing it to life takes time, since my videos contain a lot of shots and a lot of editing.
I already submitted a video appeal in which I showed the entire process of creating my videos in detail and provided strong evidence that my content is original, made by hand, and is not inauthentic content. But I am more than confident that neither the channel itself nor my appeal were fully reviewed manually. Everything was rejected far too quickly, and based on the data from the video appeal, there are no signs of a normal human review.
I am ready to provide additional evidence: the full video appeal, raw files, CapCut projects, script drafts, editing timelines, and other files that confirm my real hands-on production process.
I am asking you not to respond to me with a generic message about waiting 90 days, but to conduct a real manual review of both my channel and my appeal. If my channel is objectively reviewed by a human under the inauthentic content criteria, it will become obvious that there are no violations.
Please manually review the AimiSuee channel and restore monetization. This is a mistake, and I have evidence to prove it.
My channel has been re-monetized — thanks to YouTube support! 🙏
My friend SUPER memcheck also got monetization back.
Thank you all for your support!
My second channel is still in this situation, but I hope for help from @TeamYouTube.
Justice prevailed! AI didn’t win.
@TeamYouTube
My channel was demonetized under the same reason
There are no policy violations on my channel, and I respectfully request a manual review

URGENT UPDATE: We won. @TeamYouTube just DM'd me confirming they reinstated my channel after seeing our posts.
They explicitly asked for the other creators I've been reposting to TAG THEM DIRECTLY right now so they can look into your cases.
@PizzaSlice_YT@heydad159137@master_pivot@sweetasyo — TAG @TeamYouTube NOW. They are watching.
MONETIZATION IS BACK! 🥳 🎊
I was not expecting this. Weeks of emails getting copy-paste responses, being told I'd never get it back, almost giving up completely — then I started posting on X every few days and @TeamYouTube actually listened.
For context — kibblz wasn't demonetized for harmful content. It was suspended due to a "related channel" on the same account that has since been deleted. Many people including YouTube via emails told me this meant I'd never get it back. They were wrong.
kibblz is back. Monetization restored. My family is so relieved.
If you're fighting for your channel — don't stop. Keep going until you can't anymore. Thank you @TeamYouTube for finally being human. 🙏
Dear @TeamYouTube@reneritchie

@TeamYouTube Hello, please help and pay attention!
One day, the artificial intelligence system excluded me from YPP and disabled monetization on my channel "Mickey's Playhouse" (https://t.co/X59SFClkNL) for "harmful content involving minors."
My channel is based on creating gaming content in GTA V, Garry's Mod, and other games. The main theme is demonstrating the physical capabilities of game engines, such as Ragdoll Physics, Euphoria Physics, or Source, in various game scenes using modified 3D models. All characters are fictional, NPCs, bots, or skins. The videos do not feature real people or minors, and they do not incite harm to minors. Each video description states, "NOTICE: This video does not promote extremism, violence, or other illegal activities. Created for entertainment purposes only, and also to showcase the possibilities of the game." Each video is marked "not suitable for children."
I have been creating my content for 8 years now, and it was monetized without any problems, but at some point I was excluded from the affiliate program, like many other channels recently.
I have put a lot of effort into my channel over the years, bringing people joy and drawing attention to my format. YouTube has brought a lot of excitement and color to my life. I want to continue working with this wonderful platform, and I ask you, @YouTube, to help me resolve this difficult situation. @YouTubeGaming
Please check manually🙏 HELP @reneritchie
@TeamYouTube Hello, I don’t have any emails. I just checked all folders in my inbox.
Please help me - I need a real person to review my channel.
This is very important. Thank you, and I hope for your understanding.

I want to sincerely thank @TeamYouTube for manually reviewing my channel and taking the time to carefully look into my case.

This was a stressful journey.
