@nbc @TeamYouTube I'm not sure what the right solution is here, but I think that I've made my point clear that a ban from the platform just feels wrong.

Hey @TeamYouTube thanks for your reply.

Understand you're not able to provide more info at this time, just want to explain from my side how I experienced this.

[Michael Yuan @yuanmichael15]

@nbc @TeamYouTube I was trying to put good content up, reading Youtube policy, and studying the metrics literally every day, and I still got hit with this.

[Michael Yuan @yuanmichael15]

@TeamYouTube I don't think I'm the type of actor you want banned from the platform.

Thanks for reading this. I'll be back tomorrow.

[Michael Yuan @yuanmichael15]

@TeamYouTube Thanks for reviewing my request. Am very disappointed to see that it was upheld for apparently violating the spam policy.

While there may be legitimate differences of opinion as to what is considered "good" work, in no way could I possibly conceive what I did as spam, and I find that characterization frankly insulting.

Please read on.

I hope after reading this you can understand why the characterization of my work as "spam" has been so frustrating.

I put real effort into making those videos and was getting real signals from the platform that my approach was engaging users.

And then with no warning, I get my channel terminated for "severe" abuse.

I started to find the content was getting more views. I liked that people were resonating with the story.

So I decided to focus on this format and continue to create content based on these characters.

I began to post regularly, twice a day or so so that I could get fresh content out there and more data on what audiences wanted to see.

I then started making more personal content about my family, focusing on stressful situations that actually happened in real life.

That plate breaking moment? That literally happened. It wasn't her birthday, it was Christmas. My dad and I were there. The plate shattered.

My dad has a photo.

I started posting on Youtube about a month ago. I was experimenting with AI video and wanted to see if I could share my work and gain views.

My initial posts (as you can see from the numbers) didn't get very much attention but were a good way for me to learn the tools.

Continue please.
