My YouTube channel was flagged for containing misleadingly family-friendly content, resulting in my monetization being suspended, and several other channels have been affected. I kindly request that you please reconsider your approach.@TeamYouTube

[Chinu Tinu Ka Parivar @chinutinucomedy]

Hi @TeamYouTube My channel was restored after 90 days wait, but got demonetised AGAIN on April 28 by the same automated system. It’s been 10 days now. I’ve already verified the link shared in DM, but no response yet.
If this crosses 50 days again, I’ll lose my 28 days of hard earned income. Please review this urgently and resolve it ASAP. This delay is extremely frustrating.

Finally! The curse has been lifted! 😭🎉 It's been more than 3 months for me, but it felt like 3 years. 🥲

Now I can continue doing what I love.

Thank you, everyone, for the support and encouragement 🥹

Thanks @YouTube @TeamYouTube for reviewing my application and accepting me into the YouTube Partner Program again.

There are other creators who have been demonetized and they also need your help. Please help them too. 🙏🏼

[PANDY @pandymonster]

@Vyuwern @TeamYouTube After 90 days, I reapplyed to YPP, but it's been 5 days and I haven't received any response. Of course, they have a month to review it. I guess I'll have to wait.

[VAL Animation @Vyuwern]

After waiting 90 days my monetization has finally been restored, Thank you so much @TeamYouTube for reviewing my case, I hope your AI won’t make the same mistake again in the future

And thank you all for your help, I hope those whose got demonetize get theirs monetization back

[URBAN STUDIO YouTube @urban_studio_yt]

YouTube demonetized our channel for “inauthentic content” — despite having a full production team (writers, voice actors, editors) and original scripts.

We received no specific examples, no detailed explanation, and no real appeal process.

Under the EU Digital Services Act (Articles 14, 15, 17), platforms must provide clear reasoning and a fair appeal system.

We are asking @YouTubeCreators for transparency:
– What exact videos violate the policy?
– What criteria were applied?
– Why was no proper video-appeal allowed?

Creators deserve clarity, not generic responses.

It's my channel:

YT Monetization UPDATE: I was finally monetized today after the 90 day reapplication. So in total I had to wait (90 days + 10 days Review time) for the channel to be remonetized. So happy that the changes worked out for my Dinosaur Gaming channel. I'm really thankful to all the Creators and to the DCU Community (Admin ID: @allysonfan20) who shared advice and supported during this tough time. I will make a separate post on the changes that I did to the channel to get approved, please read through and I hope it will be helpful.

Hi @Teamyoutube, Thanks again for the review and accepting me back into the program. Can you please DM me, I have secondary channels that are suspended due to the related channel. Since my Main channel is now approved, I hope the related suspension can be removed? Can you please check and manually clear it off from your end. Thank you.

[Olle Kaas @olleshortz]

Finally, YouTube decided to re-monetize my channel. I want to give a huge thanks to everyone who tagged team youtube and who reposted my posts.

Thanks to my mentor @timdanilovhi
Everyone in @yt_igm s community
@jackazoo who told me that the EU has specific laws to protect creators, and thats also the laws I sent to YouTube, which I think played a big role.

And I really hope @TeamYouTube does the same to all of the other channels which have been demonetized and aren't actually authentic content.

[Nani josh @mister_manners_]

HOLY FUK my channel was REINSTATED after 156 Days… DAMN.

All thanks to the people who supported and helped me during this hard time.

@TeamYouTube my question still remains why are innocent creators being punished for things they didn’t do? Why do creators have to fight in the void with no clear answers from your side? Why does it take so many days for a real human review? And why the hell is this automated system terminating and demonetizing innocent creators whose lives depend on @YouTube?

I really want to thank everyone who supported me by liking, retweeting, commenting, and tagging @TeamYouTube it means a lot to me.

I especially want to thank these people who didn’t even know me but helped me a lot. We spoke every day about how to get through this, and they kept supporting me, suggesting what to try, and truly being there for me. Thank you so much guys ❤️‍🩹
@chloe_xozy ❤️ @OlekChaseCar @thedarkarchive4 @Saybiggaming

And special thanks to DSA Platform Control. I believe you are the ones who fought my battle ❤️‍🩹

To the people facing this as small, unknown creators.... DON’T GIVE UP. Trust God and keep trying, And never lose hope.❤️‍🩹

And thank you YouTube.... you are great, but please don’t ruin it by making these kinds of mistakes and hurting innocent creators’ dreams. Stay the best by correcting these issues quickly.
Thanks again everyone 🩵 Love you all ❤️❤️‍🩹

[EXPERT @expertqq]

The day didn't even get a chance to start properly.

The biggest channel, where they approved the appeal literally 3 weeks ago - got demonetized AGAIN.

They also rejected the appeal on the animation channel with Shorts.

-$55,000 in just ONE DAY.

[BENBROS @BENBROS]

Today, my monetization has been restored.

Thanks to all of your comments and support, and with the help of a YouTube team member, I was able to receive a manual review.

However, many animation channels are still being affected by incorrect automated decisions. And if these mistakes continue, this could happen again at any time.

@TeamYouTube @YouTube
Please, I sincerely ask you—review these unfairly affected channels through manual review and restore their monetization. Thank you.

[Dä Vinchi🧊 @ope_dave]

5 months old channel
200M shirts views
Got demonetized

Classic

Funny how your whole world
Can crumble the moment you get this email

[stringie @stringieee]

Finally have my channel back 😭

After 3 whole months of waiting and losing thousands of dollars of income, I am relieved to be back.

So much unnecessary stress and sadness. YouTube treated its creators extremely unfairly during this ban wave. I hope this is over for good.

[PANDY @pandymonster]

Congratulations to the channels that have been able to regain monetization status, but my channel is still unable to monetize. They insist that they have thoroughly checked everything.🤕

[Steven @stevenyjsong]

A couple months ago, #YouTube demonetized big creature battle animation channels until it was picked up by mainstream news articles, then they reinstated those channels.

YouTube knows their AI moderation is making clear mistakes and only fixes them if there is public backlash

[PANDY @pandymonster]

@stevenyjsong My channel still hasn't been monetized, and it's almost been three months now.

[Elevates Brain @Elevates_brain7]

Hello @TeamYouTube

My channel was mistakenly terminated by YouTube 5 months ago and I just got it back on March 27, 2026 and all thanks to @YouTube .

But after the termination my $3116 earnings were reversed from my AdSense account but since my channel is reinstated and the payment cycle has passed but I still didn't get my unpaid revenue. And because the termination was an error so that I want to restore my unpaid revenue.

Please take a look at my channel and release my earnings. Thank you.

[ColePlays @ColePlaysThisYT]

YouTube genuinely doesn't care about their creatots. I had 785K sub's? Terminated without proper explanations, automated replies, auto appeal rejections. Have another channel with 310K? Demonetized, same thing. @TeamYouTube we just want support from HUMANS 🙏
