Same happening to me. #invalidtraffic is back 😒
Looks like I’m seeing a dip in earnings again too. No invalid traffic notice…. Yet! But I’ll be expecting it shortly.

It’s not only frustrating, @YouTubeLiaison, but also in incredibly bad faith that YouTube has given creators no specifics whatsoever on something that has drastically affected so many of their earnings; the basic articles that YouTube / Google has published about “invalid traffic” — such as the one you linked to — are supremely unhelpful to the vast majority of creators affected by this. Given the lack of specifics, it’s hard for us to believe you. “Just trust us — there’s invalid traffic, but we’re not going to tell you where it’s coming from / on which videos / etc.” Like I said — bad faith.

I've made a video explaining my @TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators issues (invalid traffic bug). youtu.be/R6ImOtPYa7g?si=EcOj… Shout out in the vid to @tasiacustode and @brennan_valeski who have the same issues. Many creators hit. No updates from @YouTube 🤐. Not cool. 😔

Got hit with the invalid traffic bug on August 8th. Revenue has been down 80% since then. Contacted @YouTube Creator Support, they couldn't help with anything other than provide basic info that's already available online. Let's get this hashtag trending #FixTheInvalidTrafficBug

It might have been a bit off the cuff, but it’s something I want everyone reading headlines re: the outcome of this trial to truly understand. Thank you @NiermanJoe for clipping this. This video is NOT MONETIZED - it’s sole focus is to reach and reenforce victims everywhere.

Apple’s iMessage lock-in is a documented strategy. Using peer pressure and bullying as a way to sell products is disingenuous for a company that has humanity and equity as a core part of its marketing. The standards exist today to fix this.
