Day 70. The only response I have heard is crickets. Wrongfully banned for life as a paying viewer who never posted anything. No human, no explanation, no response. Still here. Still waiting. At some point, silence becomes an answer. @TeamYouTube

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

@Ro84636Rodrick @TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @UpdatesFromYT @nealmohan Good luck with your case. Your approach with the EU DSA dispute bodies is impressive and I hope YouTube finally gives you the human review you deserve. Stay strong.

Day 52. @9to5Google reported on May 7 that YouTube mistakenly bans accounts for spam, even users who never uploaded a video. That is exactly what happened to me. Banned since March 27. No fix, no response, no human contact. @TeamYouTube

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

Day 49. Hello, is anyone there? No response in DM, no update by email. My trust and patience are running out. Wrongfully banned for life as a paying viewer who never posted anything. @TeamYouTube

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

@YouTubeCreators Too bad your AI permanently bans paying viewers who just want to watch those streams. I never posted anything, never commented. Wrongfully banned for life. Automated rejections. DM silence. Maybe add a 5th tip: hope YouTube doesn't ban your viewers too. @YouTubeCreators

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

I've paid enough to YouTube/Google to buy a quality musical instrument. If it broke, the manufacturer would call, apologize, replace it. Instead, wrongfully banned for life as a paying viewer, I get automated rejections. Reached out in DM. Silence. What a service! @TeamYouTube

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

@YouTubeCreators Your analytics don't show the paying viewer who was permanently banned for life after never posting a single thing. Banned for spam. Every appeal rejected by AI in minutes. No human ever reviewed my case. That is a story your analytics won't tell. @YouTubeCreators

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

@YouTubeCreators YouTube doesn't just fail creators. It fails viewers too. I only watch videos, Premium, never posted. Banned for spam. Every appeal rejected within minutes. No human contact. I even had plans to upload my own music one day. Now permanently banned for life. @YouTubeCreators

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

@nealmohan @YouTube @YouTubeTV Your platform doesn't just fail creators. It fails viewers too. I only watch videos, Premium. Never posted, never commented. Banned for spam & scams. Every appeal rejected within minutes. No human ever looked at my case. No explanation. Permanently banned for life. @nealmohan

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

@nealmohan @YouTube @NASA @coachella I'm not even a creator. I only watch videos, pay for Premium. My account was terminated for spam & scams. I never posted a video, only occasionally clicked like. Every appeal rejected within minutes. No human ever reviewed my case. No explanation. Now banned for life. @nealmohan

@nealmohan @YouTube @voguemagazine I'm not even a creator. I only watch videos, pay for Premium. My account was terminated for spam & scams. I never posted a video, only occasionally clicked like. Every appeal rejected within minutes. No human ever reviewed my case. No explanation. Now banned for life. @nealmohan

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

@Hihellothere05 @TeamYouTube Thank you for responding. It genuinely helps to know I am not alone in this, even though I wish neither of us was in this situation. I have been through every possible route. Multiple appeals, all rejected within minutes by AI. I've been terminated since March 27th. Keep hope!

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

Over a month in. Terminated for spam without ever posting anything. I am 100% certain there was no spam. No examples were ever given, no explanation, no human contact. Just automated rejections. Is anyone else stuck in the same situation with no way out? @TeamYouTube

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

Genuine question: is there any way for someone who was wrongfully banned to ever use YouTube again as a viewer? All I ever wanted was to watch videos. Nothing more, nothing less. Now it feels like I am somehow the problem, while I never did anything wrong. @TeamYouTube

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

@IAmEftekharul @TeamYouTube They told me the policy team (?) reviewed my case again, but gave no example, no explanation, and no confirmation of what is actually wrong. No human ever spoke to me. Still banned after nearly a month with no real answer. I wish you the best of luck and strenght in your case.

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

@IAmEftekharul @TeamYouTube Hi, I am going through something very similar. My account was terminated for spam, but I actually never posted anything. I only watch videos. Every appeal was rejected within minutes by AI. I had DM 'contact' with @TeamYouTube but it was clearly automated.

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

Nearly a month.

My account was wrongfully banned by an automated system. I never posted anything, only watched videos. Every appeal rejected by AI. No human has ever reviewed my case. YouTube made this mistake, not me. Paying customers deserve better than this.

@TeamYouTube

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

Still no resolution after weeks. My account was wrongfully banned. I never post anything, only watch videos. Every appeal rejected within minutes by AI. No human has reviewed my case. I cannot access YouTube, cannot create a new account. Hoping for a human response. @TeamYouTube

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

I've been Google user since day 1, referred Workspace to clients, paid for Premium on 2 accounts. I only watch videos. Every appeal rejected within minutes by AI. No human reviewed my case. Permanently banned for life with no reason. I deserve a fair human review. @TeamYouTube

[Rauwe Boon @RauweBoon]

My 2nd account was removed for circumvention. I had no idea this was forbidden. My first account (Vreemde Vogel) was wrongfully deleted for spam. I only watch videos. Even my workaccount (also premium) is now banned. I can't cancel either subscription. Please DM me. @TeamYouTube
