Finally have my channel back ๐ญ
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.
I gave you the whole timeframe. They didn't "react" to anything. YouTube gives you a 3 months wait period for you to "reflect" on your channel "mistakes" and self-audit by guessing what videos might be problematic. Once the 3 months pass, and you have made some changes, you can press a button to "Reapply", where they check your channel again and determine if you can now be accepted.
After I clicked that button, they accepted my application in 2 days' time.

I was spamming YouTube nearly daily here on X, just check my post history. Nothing was working, clearly. So 3 months passed and I decided to try a last effort to genuinely understand which videos might be "problematic".
I changed a lot of thumbnails which had a yellow school bus in them and deleted several videos with scary monsters in them. That's it. No other activities besides emailing them a bunch in the first month, only to get ignored with generic responses saying their decision was final.
@Indie_Update It's a guessing game brother. YouTube are impossible to communicate with. They don't seem to care about us, just corporate coldness.
Just press the apply button and hope for the best. Good luck.
@TeamYouTube Please do a thorough human review of my channel. Many creators are getting reinstated every single day. Give me one last chance at an appeal.

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 โ TAG @TeamYouTube NOW. They are watching.
Day #4 of posting my @teardowngame videos on X. This is the content that @TeamYouTube is calling "harmful" to minors, leading to the demonetization of my entire channel.
Teardown is just a voxel physics sandbox. There is no blood, gore, violence or minors. It's just a game about cubes (like Minecraft), and some cars.
Dozens of creators have been reinstated, but hundreds like me remain ignored. YouTube keeps admitting they make mistakes, but also keep claiming that their decision is "final", which isn't true.
The video below is my "Cars vs Hulk", which currently has 36M views, gained over the course of 3 years without any issues staying uploaded on YouTube. @YouTube is now retroactively flagging my channel as "dangerous" for videos like it.
I'm doing this because @NpcUniverse did this for 10 days before finally getting reinstated, receiving an apology from YouTube. They've been reinstating at least 5 creators per day since then, but ignoring me.
@TeamYouTube Please give me one final chance at human review to take a look at my channel!
