@TeamYouTube Hello, my name is Mack and I’m the owner of The Share Market Guru, a verified finance channel with over 688,000 subscribers.

On May 4th, my channel was suddenly terminated for alleged “spam or deceptive practices” — without a single prior strike.

It’s clear this was an AI-driven mistake. I submitted an appeal immediately, but it was auto-rejected within minutes, meaning no human ever reviewed it.

I’ve spent years building this channel by creating educational finance content, always following YouTube’s guidelines. There was no spam, no scams, no deceptive behavior — just genuine, informative videos.

I’m requesting a proper manual review of my channel.
AI can make errors — but creators shouldn’t lose years of work because of it.

🤖 AI is deciding which creators get to stay on YouTube. Not humans.

In just the last 6 months, YouTube has removed 2.8+ million channels.
And 76% of those bans came from the “Spam / Deceptive Practices / Scams” policy — the enforcement category that relies most heavily on automated systems.
Which means the algorithm is often the one deciding who stays on the platform… and who gets erased.

Appeals are frequently automated too — so the same system that flags the channel is the one denying the appeal.

If the AI makes a mistake, a creator’s entire career can disappear without any human review at all.

This isn’t just “policy enforcement.”
It’s real people losing years of work, income, and identity — instantly.

Permanent decisions need real human oversight.
If you (or someone you know) was banned under this policy, reply below so more creators can be seen.

[Final Verdict @FinalVerdictYT]

69 days ago, I woke up to find my 40K+ channel — Final Verdict — completely deleted.

The reason? “Circumvention.”
But here’s the thing: I’ve never had a channel terminated before.

So I asked YouTube support which deleted channel I was supposedly “linked” to — the one I would need to “fix” to restore my own.

Then something I didn’t expect happened…

They told me they’re “prohibited from sharing the linked channel.”

In other words — even the AI and the human reviewers don’t know what channel caused this or why.

If even YouTube can’t tell me what I supposedly did wrong.

How can any creator defend themselves against that?

My channel was full of factual true crime documentaries — no politics, no hate, just verified court records.

If this can happen to verified, rule-following creators, it can happen to anyone.

If you’re experiencing the same thing, retweet + comment so this reaches real people. We deserve answers!

@OptSZN @TeamYouTube my channel too was wrongly terminated without any strikes and the appeal was auto rejected within 5 mins,please do a manual and human review and reinstate the channel

[Opt @OptSZN]

Hello, my name is Alec and I am the owner of 3 monetized YouTube channels
Opt – my main channel with over 600,000 subscribers

More Opt – my second channel with over 200,000 subscribers

Elarablox – my third channel with over 400,000 subscribers

On October 8th, all 3 channels were simultaneously terminated due to what appears to be a false AI driven ban. I immediately submitted appeals for each channel, but all were denied within minutes without any meaningful review.

I launched my main channel, Opt, approximately 5 to 6 years ago, initially focusing on daily Fortnite content and livestreams. Over the years, I’ve consistently posted content almost every day. More recently, I’ve shifted to creating Roblox Shorts across all 3 channels.

My content fully complies with YouTube’s policies I do not engage in spam, scams, or deceptive practices. I follow the same standards and formats as others in the Roblox Shorts community.

I respectfully request a thorough manual review of my channels and a reconsideration of their termination. These channels represent years of dedication, creativity, and community building, and I believe this action was taken in error. #YouTube

@DanielTChirwa @TeamYouTube my channel was wrongly terminated by your AI system,please do a manual review and re instate the channel

[Boxel Thumbnails @Rahimkhan_id]

YouTube AI moderation has been on a Rampage Terminating Creators falsely,

I too found My channel with clean history — Seriously Simple — completely deleted.

Never had a strike, warning or an explanation.

Just “spam, scam, and deceptive practices.” - a 2,000 word policy with multiple possible violations!

I began writing, then sent through an appeal, confident that this was a error, thinking my appeal would fix this mistake.

But before i Could close the tab, my appeal were denied in seconds by AI over an alleged “careful review”

and that careful review was meant to take up to 2 business days.. and Potentially even more.

I reached Out to Youtube Support, thinking i would receive a human support,

But even the Support is AI Bots,

I contacted 9 Different Support Specialists "Bots"
all of them, using same Generic Pattern, Ignoring the Question,

Pretending to be Humans, Lying about it.

this channel was everything to me, my source of income, my life support,

I Depend on this.

And if this can happen to clean channels with spotless records — it can happen to anyone. even you.

so if you’re also experiencing this,

retweet + comment (@ teamyoutube) so hopefully a real employee can help us

be sure to explain your situation as well, we all deserve to be heard.

Hi all - I try to set aside sometime each day to go through responses and bring light to fellow creators who have experienced this unpredictable termination wave!

I will really try my best to continue to post updates as well as feature your stories 🙏🙏🙏

[Honestly, Haley @HonestlyHaley7]

Days ago, my channel was terminated. I’ve poured years of time, resources and work into making content that aligns with YouTube’s TOS. I have managed to avoid strikes by creating content in an honest way. I did review YouTube’s Spam Policy, I feel confident in stating that, my content does not fall under any of the listed violations. However, if creators make a genuine mistake after years of not being an issue and contributing to the platform without issue, they should have the opportunity to fix that issue, be made away or receive a strike, not be immediately terminated with little to no human interaction nor attention. I’ve always produced content in the most ethical ways I knew how. I did this because I care for my audience, not just to meet TOS.

This is my former channel link https://t.co/Iu2qvnS95S

I strongly believe this termination was an automated error. I believe you will find I did not violate YouTube’s Policies. I have never wanted to harm this platform and genuinely care for my viewers. I am not a scammer nor looking to do harm to anyone or be deceitful in my practices.

Thank you for your time. I just ask that you consider supporting creators to who contribute genuinely to the YouTube community to be allowed to correct errors or mistakes prior to terminating their years of work. Thousands of creators are being falsely and wrongfully terminated, many of whom depend on their content financially to feed their families. Please, do the right thing for those individuals who have contributed to your platform. Reinstate not just my channel but all of our channels, who were wrongfully terminated via this or other automated issues. Give us an avenue for human interaction when we have issues with your system. Correct the system when it doesn’t work for the creators that are producing content for your platform. Please, make YouTube human again.

Sincerely,

Haley

Channel with 40k subs on which i havent posted for more than a month also got deleted! Why? My first because of “spam” which si very incorrect and the other one for Circumvention policy! Please work on your Ai and let people review our channels! And please put mine back on

[Fascinator @Fascinatorfacts]

YOUTUBE REINSTATED MY CHANNEL!

It took almost 40 days of consistent posting on X, a huge amount of support from fellow creators and tons of people on X and a number of posts that got 1000’s of views.

This has to bring to light how flawed YouTube’s termination system is.
Why do creators have to make noise on a different platform to actually get the right people to look into these terminations.

There are still loads of creators who have not been given their channels back. Peoples livelihoods hang in the balance.

@youtube must respond and address what the hell happened! Far too many mistakes have been made.

They have to change their systems.

I want to say a huge thank to everybody who has reposted, liked and shared my tweets. I can’t thank you enough! 🙏🙏🙏

@teamyoutube there are still so many creators that need you to look into their cases.

[Mack @Tsmgmack]

Please amplify and retweet @Fascinatorfacts @endermanch This Ai system of youtube destroying lives and terminating channels left right and centre should be removed

I’ve been creating educational finance and stock market content for years, building a strong and authentic community. My content fully complies with YouTube’s guidelines — I do not engage in spam, scams, or any deceptive activity.

I respectfully request a manual review of my channel and a reconsideration of its termination. This channel represents years of hard work, consistency, and trust — it deserves a fair human review.

[CryptoGeek @CryptoGeekNews]

4 Years ago, I decided I would make my First video talking about $XRP. I embarked on a Journey Educating The Crypto community about Ripple Labs a Payment Company using XRP that is Globalizing.

Today @TeamYouTube has Terminated my Youtube Channel for "Harmful or dangerous policy" all for making Educational Content on #XRP a Crypto I personally Hold and have done 1000s of hours of research into all for my audience. I HAVE NOT BROKEN ANY YOUTUBE GUIDELINES AND THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN UNCLEAR!

Its REALLY DISSAPPOINTING over 4+ years of daily videos of #XRP and crypto content for you guys go to waste. Times and Effort all gone.

I ask the #XRP community to Please support me by Sharing this, Tagging @TeamYouTube and liking.

I ask @YouTubeCreators to Re-Instante my channel as nothing as broken the youtube guidelines.

Until then I will be on pause. This is deeply depressing.
(To all the $XRP & Crypto content creators, make sure to have your audience on other platform)

[Mack @Tsmgmack]
