@billburr why are you performing in Saudi Arabia at the Riyadh Comedy Festival? They orchestrated 911 and took out Jamal Khashoggi. Seems like a weird group for you to agree to entertain.
@TaylorLorenz I know you’ve covered how moderation systems impact creators — this situation has been brutal.
My son’s VR channel was demonetized over a game dev’s mistake in a background song. First offense of any kinf. No recourse.

We followed all steps:
✅ Removed the video
✅ Submitted a full appeal
✅ Provided the dev’s confirmation
❌ Still banned for life
@TeamYouTube — how is this fair?
This isn’t a politics channel.
Not edgy. Not commentary.
Just a family-friendly VR channel — me and my kid making videos together.
We’ve had 0 issues across 1,000+ uploads.
@TeamYouTube My child’s channel, MonkeyBroVR (https://t.co/QoihZvrQTu), was demonetized over an in-game quote we did not create that the game dev has now confirmed they wrote and created and have since removed. We're hoping for reconsideration with this context.
@TeamYouTube Hi. Thanks! This was a warning, not a strike. And the first ever for the channel. We didn’t create the sound. It was baked into the game sound design.
I have to imagine context matters.
@TeamYouTube Thanks — I’ve already appealed, but I just want to clarify that this video was a kid dancing to a game’s holiday song in VR.
There was no dangerous content, and the warning has led to full demonetization.
I’ve never had any strikes or policy issues before. Can this be escalated?
Hey @TeamYouTube, our vid of a kid dancing in a VR game to a Christmas song was wrongly flagged under the violent organizations policy. It was just silly gameplay. It got removed, we got a warning (not a strike), and now our whole channel is demonetized. Can this be reviewed?
