- YouTube Channel Wrongfully Terminated -

[Winged Piston @WingedPiston]

I'm genuinely torn up over this, after a week of anxiety, and trying to talk to someone from YouTube, I get this. I never had any prior terminations or guideline strikes, yet they terminate my automotive channel, and now refuse to elaborate or reinstate it.

- I never had any prior terminations or guideline strikes on any channel
- I never allowed anyone who was terminated to use my channel
- I never knowingly featured anyone who was terminated. My videos didn't really feature anyone, majority of the videos I had uploaded so far were of me driving my Ford Explorer and Subaru Impreza using footage I recorded with an Insta360 X3 and AcePro2.

The only other possibility I could think of that may be a potential link is something to do with networks and IP addresses, however I mostly use YouTube when I'm at home. I don't use it often when I'm out and about. The only other networks my phone would be connect to is cellular data or the private network at work.

According to the Google account security page, the only devices my WingedPiston channel was logged into was my phone, and desktop computer, and there was no other security notifications, so that rules out anyone hacking my account.

@TeamYouTube @YouTube I would really appreciate it if I can talk to someone directly, as you definitely have not shared all relevant information. All you told me was that supposedly there was a violation of circumvention policy, but never explained how or why. Considering I never had any prior terminations or guideline strikes, with screenshot proof of all my other channels being in good standing to back my claim, and the fact that you refuse to elaborate makes me believe now you're potentially covering for a fault of some type whether in human or AI moderation.

TeamYouTube sent this guy nearly the same messages that they sent me, proof that they're just being lazy or it's all AI.

Is there anyone out there that can help me recover my wrongly terminated youtube account? Or at the very least, take action against youtube? @Youtube and @TeamYouTube has NOT shared all relevant details since they refuse to tell me what account I supposedly circumvented.

[Winged Piston @WingedPiston]

@PatrickQua62061 @YouTube @TeamYouTube Wow, it really is a copypaste message from TeamYouTube. They sent nearly the same exact message to me as well. They terminated my channel for circumvention policy, even though I never had a terminated channel. All my other channels are still good.

@ItsLethalTTV YouTube support... My channel was falsely terminated, and they won't give me an actual reason as to why. Sure I could post on other platforms, but it won't have the same reach or effect that YouTube has. So that's the bind I'm in, with no easy way to contact YT support.

[Winged Piston @WingedPiston]

@TeacherGrant007 @TeamYouTube Unfortunately true, I've always heard of how much of a nightmare it is to deal with YouTube support, even before they were relying on their automated system. Never thought I'd have to deal with it, but here I am, in the same boat with other creators they screwed over.

[Winged Piston @WingedPiston]

@Satherisee @TastyPaperclips I tried that way already. After YouTube automatically denied my appeal, and TeamYouTube refused to help or explain, I came across that page and submitted another appeal through there. That too was automatically denied because the original appeal was denied.

[Winged Piston @WingedPiston]

@ABK_Yt_1 @YouTube @YouTubeCreators How did you find out what channel YouTube thought was associated with yours? YouTube terminated my channel for the same reason, despite me not having any prior terminations. They denied my appeal, denied helping me here, they won't even explain when I ask for more details.

@MemesToView Just need @_AlexHirsch to read it as Stan 😆

@TastyPaperclips @TeamYouTube Had the same thing happen to me. First my X account was heavily suppressed, and then I was locked out for a similar reason. Which it gave an option for a review and my X account was back to full capacity after a couple of hours. At least X can do their job unlike YouTube.

YouTube, YOU HAVE COMPLETELY LOST IT.

Your Support team is giving creators false information, your policies are being applied incorrectly, and when creators get punished, YOU DON’T HELP.

Creators are dealing with BOGUS COPYRIGHT STRIKES, WRONGFUL DEMONETIZATIONS, AND TERMINATIONS.

I SHOW THE SAME SHIT EVERY DAY AND GET NO HELP!

I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE I GOT PUNISHED FOR LISTENING TO YOUR OWN SUPPORT’S ADVICE.

Your Support team told me I could use my other channels.

I DID WHAT YOUR TEAM TOLD ME I COULD DO. I ASKED 3 TIMES IN THE SAME CHAT UNTIL I GOT A YES. I DID NOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOUR OWN TEAM’S APPROVAL.

I put 5 MONTHS OF HARD ASS WORK into this channel, building it to 39,297 SUBSCRIBERS AND 10 MILLION VIEWS.

The channel had 1 THOUSAND+ VIDEOS UPLOADED IN 5 MONTHS. ALL REAL CONTENT. THE CHANNEL WAS NOT REMOVED DURING ANY OF THESE UPLOADS.

ZERO VIOLATIONS. CLEAN HISTORY ON THIS CHANNEL. ADVANCED FEATURES APPROVED. EVERYTHING WAS FINE.

THEN YOUR PLATFORM OUTAGE CAME ON MAY 13TH, 2026.

YouTube went down and my uploads kept failing and appearing as UNTITLED UPLOADS. I kept retrying for 20 MINUTES.

THEN I WAS TERMINATED FOR CIRCUMVENTION.

A SUCCESSFUL CHANNEL WAS GONE DURING YOUR OWN OUTAGE.

Then a month later, you removed every other channel I had too.

WHY DID YOU TAKE EVERYTHING AFTER YOUR OWN SUPPORT TEAM TOLD ME I WAS FINE?

I HAVE THE PROOF. REVIEW THE CHAT LOGS ON MY ACCOUNT IN YOUR SYSTEM.

I WILL NOT STOP SHOWING MY PROOF AND ASKING FOR A REVIEW UNTIL I GET ANSWERS.

GIVE ME THE REVIEW I DESERVE.

I WANT A DENIAL TELLING ME WHY YOUTUBE SUPPORT TOLD ME I WAS OKAY TO USE MY SECONDARY ACCOUNT, OR REVIEW THOSE CHAT LOGS AND THE MAY 13TH OUTAGE AND GIVE ME MY 40K CHANNEL BACK.

PLEASE TAG @TeamYouTube AND REPOST.

@H4RSHV4RDHAN @TeamYouTube Common issue that's happening. Change anything on your channel, get hit with impersonation. Upload something, get hit with spam. Have a linktree, get hit with nudity. Circumvention I haven't noticed a pattern with yet, but that's what I got hit with. Despite never being banned.

[Winged Piston @WingedPiston]

@Satherisee @TastyPaperclips How'd you get through to Google support? I tried, and the AI just directs me to the YouTube support forum.

[Winged Piston @WingedPiston]

@TastyPaperclips It's sad seeing YouTube going downhill in the background.

[Winged Piston @WingedPiston]

I'm still waiting for a reply @YouTube @TeamYouTube. I have no prior channel terminations and all my other channels do not have guideline strikes, so why did my automotive channel, WingedPiston, get terminated for circumvention policy?
