Onion Nuggetz channel terminated for "bullying and harassment" after 1 strike.
We appeal with specific argumentation and context.
Our arguments are ignored and we receive a boilerplate generic rejection.
We reach out to @TeamYouTube on twitter with specific argumentation and context.

When will human eyes actually look at our case? When will a human being respond to us in a way that actually reflects that our argumentation has been heard and duly considered?
Please respond to my DMs @TeamYouTube!
YouTube's appeals process is broken.
For many appeals, it is impossible to provide any context or communicate with YouTube at all.
For others, the context and communication is ignored.
YouTube has automated human beings out of their appeals process, and as a result, stripped the process of any ability to recognize nuance or look at broader context.
Countless channels have fallen victim to this. And when YouTube is caught in a lie, they double down, as they have here:
On Dec 15, our YouTube channel Onion Nuggetz ( [at]OnionNuggetz ) received a one-week suspension notice for a single video, with no indication that termination was imminent. On Dec 17, the channel was terminated entirely, with no additional strikes and no opportunity to remediate. This appears inconsistent with YouTube’s graduated enforcement process.
Our channel is a news and commentary podcast focused on public figures. Enforcement on a specific segment may have been warranted, but escalation from a warning directly to termination skipped the standard steps outlined in policy.
The channel had over 800 paying members and provided income for the hosts, whose families are directly affected by this action. The issue here is procedural consistency, not disagreement over enforcement authority.
