@TeamYouTube I will be highly appreciative if my channel that was terminated for over 7 months get reinstated. I was falsely terminated on things my channel didn't do. Since then I've not gotten my feet up. Link: https://t.co/BVLvhpp6B6
My channel was terminated for Spam, scam and deceptive practices by mistake by Ai forore than 6 months. I create original content with original commentary style like videos with good editing and captions. Please review my channel again @TeamYouTube https://t.co/BVLvhpp6B6
My channel was terminated without any prior warning and was rejected in seconds by the automated system upon asking for review. It's Insane. Please @TeamYouTube take a look at my channel again and forgive me.
It's really painful, especially after building a channel that reached millions of people suddenly got terminated for something you didn't do. The emotional impact is something many creators like me can feel and understand. I hope @TeamYouTube reviews my case properly once again.
@TeamYouTube it has been more than 3 months since my channel got terminated for spam, scam and deceptive practices. Please restore my channel and I promise not to do anything the will trigger it again! Please help me!
For years, YouTube was not just a platform to me — it became my daily routine, my safe space, and eventually my entire career. Every video I uploaded carried a piece of my effort, my voice, and my intention. Losing a community of nearly 100,000 subscribers felt like losing a part of myself.
These were never just numbers. They were real people who reached out to me daily, telling me how my videos helped them feel understood, less alone, and seen in a world that often ignores them. When the channel disappeared overnight, I felt like I had failed them — even though, to this day, I still don’t know what I did wrong.
What hurts even more is seeing other channels doing the exact same kind of content continue to upload without any issue. That makes this feel less like a deliberate violation and more like a painful mistake.
Even so, I’m not here to argue or deflect responsibility. As a creator, I take full accountability. All I’m asking for is compassion and fairness — a genuine human review of my channel. I truly believe that if someone looks at my work with context and care, they’ll see that it was created in good faith and deserves another chance.
I’m holding on to hope — not just for myself, but for the community that believed in me and is still waiting. @TeamYouTube

It's heartbreaking that it has reached 53 days since my channel of nearly 100k subscribers was gone(terminated) due YouTube Ai moderation system that sees my channel as bot but it's being operated by real human. I reach out to @TeamYouTube and they said their decision is final. I'm now asking for an other proper review that involves a real human.

Today is my Birthday... I wish @TeamYouTube will reinstate my Channel... And my Joy will be complete... My channel of almost 100k subs got terminated for scam, deceptive practices and scam. But I never practice any of the accused claims.
@iaskaishow I hope @TeamYouTube will just reinstate my channel as a New Gift... I will be extremely happy and proud... My channel of almost 100k just got terminated for things I didn't do. It being 40 days my channel got nuked...
Dear @TeamYouTube,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing with a heavy heart to appeal the recent termination of my channel, “Men Only.” On November 18, I woke up, reached for my phone as usual to check in on my community, and saw something that shook me to my core — my channel had been removed.
At first, I thought it was a glitch. I refreshed. Logged out. Logged back in.
But the message stayed there. Everything I had worked so hard to build… gone.
For years, YouTube was not just a platform for me — it became my purpose, my routine, and eventually my career. I dedicated countless late nights, early mornings, and moments I could have spent elsewhere, all because I believed deeply in sharing men’s experiences and voices in a world where they are often misunderstood.
My channel never aimed to tear anyone down. It was simply a space for men to express themselves, for honest conversation, and for real perspectives — from men, through my own voice, not through AI, not copied, not harmful. Every word, every commentary, every message came from my heart and my mind.
I have spent days replaying my content, searching for anything that might explain the termination. But I found no guideline violated — no harassment, no hate speech, no misleading content. Many creators doing similar commentary remain active, which makes me believe my channel may have been wrongfully flagged as AI-generated or in violation, even though my work is fully original.
I cannot begin to express how painful it was to lose a community of nearly 100,000 subscribers, especially as we prepared to celebrate that milestone this December. These weren’t just numbers — they were people who wrote to me daily, telling me how my videos helped them feel seen, heard, and understood. Overnight, I felt like I had let them down, even though I don’t know what I did wrong.
I questioned myself. I questioned my future. I questioned whether everything I had built could disappear in a moment.
But I still have hope.
Because I have seen others get their channels restored after review.
And because I believe that what God cannot do does not exist.
I am not above mistakes, and none of us are. That is why I’m humbly requesting a manual review of my channel. I am confident that if a real human looks at the content, they will see the truth — that it was meaningful, respectful, original commentary intended to uplift and inspire.
All I ask for is a second chance. A fair chance.
Thank you for your time, for your understanding, and for giving creators a platform that has changed countless lives — including mine. I remain hopeful that my channel, my community, and my voice will be restored.
Warm regards.

WAYS YOUTUBE SHOULDN'T OPERATE.
My channel of almost 100k subscribers that earn me a living got nuked and they said their decision is final.
Here's the thing: YouTube is indisputably aware that a substantial portion of its creator base—particularly mid-sized and established channels—relies on the platform as a primary source of income. For such creators, YouTube is not a recreational outlet but a professional livelihood. The abrupt termination of a channel without prior notice, specific factual findings, or an opportunity to cure any alleged deficiency raises serious concerns regarding proportionality, transparency, and procedural fairness.
In my case, I operated my channel continuously and in good faith over several years. I was formally admitted into the YouTube Partner Program, monetized under YouTube’s own eligibility standards, and permitted to publish content without strikes or warnings. This establishes a reasonable expectation that my conduct was compliant with applicable policies. The subsequent termination appears to disregard this established history entirely.
I am now subject to the most severe enforcement action available—permanent termination—without having been informed of any specific act, pattern of conduct, or policy breach that would justify such an outcome. I received no warning, no graduated enforcement, and no opportunity to correct or clarify any alleged issue. The absence of notice or remediation is particularly concerning given the irreversible professional and financial consequences of termination. That's inhumane.
I respectfully request a clear articulation of the factual and policy-based grounds that purportedly warranted immediate termination. Absent such specificity, the action appears disproportionate and inconsistent with principles of fair enforcement, especially where similarly situated creators remain active on the platform.
I strongly urge YouTube to continue refining its moderation and review processes—particularly where automated systems are involved—to ensure that enforcement actions are accurate, consistent, and subject to meaningful human review. Good-faith creators who have demonstrated long-term compliance should be afforded transparency, due consideration, and a genuine opportunity for reinstatement where errors occur. @TeamYouTube@iaskaishow@niokanal@rjswiftofficial@thedarkarchive4@TypicalFemboy69
But so many channel terminated aren't from Asia, some are from Africa and they go terminated wrongly. YouTube is my career and I know how deeply I love and appreciate YouTube. And honestly I don't deserve what I'm going through here on X. Begging to be reinstated/restored. I create original content that is not into spam, deceptive practice and scam, still I got terminated. I will not deny the role YouTube Salary have been playing into my life. YouTube changed my life which I appreciate deeply, feeding well, paying bill, good clothes, medicals all from YouTube Salary and also writing this message on X here with good Phone is also made possible because of my YouTube Salary. Now, it's horrifying that all is gone Within Seconds, my dreams shattered and all my plans gone into ashes because I was terminated for what I didn't do while others in the same niche are still on YouTube except me that got terminated. I've reached out to @TeamYouTube but to no avail, they aren't giving me any sign of hope. All they said was "they will give an update when they have one" and this sentence made me burst into crying with no where to go. It makes me feel I was standing on the middle of an ocean feeling abondoned. It's unfair. I'm one of your loyal content creator. I have no joy in this season of Joy. I will appreciate if my Joy will be restored. @TeamYouTube

You're right that over 12 million channels have been terminated this year, but it varies. For example, 20.5M channels were terminated in Q4 2023 alone.
Channels terminated doesn’t = Creators terminated, sometimes a scammy account can have hundreds of channels.
This quarter, the spike in terminations was largely due to specific financial scam out of Southeast Asia that led to millions of terminations.
Regarding your channel, human reviewers on our policy team confirmed your channel was correctly terminated. We shared all the details with you over DM and can follow up with you there for any other questions.
